aesthetic nihilism 

A contrapositive form of nihilism which emerges as aesthetic.

Meta-nihilism.

Emergent nihilism.
In keeping with Kantian ethics, Nietzsche dismissed aesthetic as deductive or effective. Aesthetic nihilism on the other hand views aesthetic as emergent.

concurrency 

A currency whose valuation references the magnitude of transactions occurring simultaneously at any one instant. This magnitude is treated as a function of the distance between the producer and consumer.
Concurrency would make linear time a function of space.

tautology 

A synchrony in which formalism and representation are continuous ie. "is-is-is" collapses to 'is' or the "ohm."

A continuity of being and having.

A frame in which self-cyclicality achieves linearity (continuity) and value IS meta-value and meta-value is value rendering the semantics of "state" untenable.
In a tautology "is" is 'is' (and 'is' is "is").

hyperrealism 

A phenomenon of late-stage postmodernism that embodies the failure of neo-Marxism to resolve religious dogma.

Analogous to hypernormalization: the consensus reality absurdism of late-stage communism that embodies the failure of Marxism to resolve egoism.

theory-fiction 

A tenet of Nick Land's speculative realism in which formalism and representation become continuous with respect to each other, obviating the object between them.

Constructivistic surrealism.

The collapse of the signifier/sign/signed triangle in semiotic theory into a duality of signifier and signed.

Preliminarily schematized in computer science by replacing object-oriented programming with attribute-oriented programming (synthetic programming); and ultimately reference-oriented programming.
Theory-fiction eliminates the object itself by collapsing the triangle of semiotic representationalism into a duality.

interface metaphor 

A design metaphor for the form of an object (experience).

A skeumorph.
An interface metaphor heralds the start of intersubjective collapse (annihilism).
