modernism 

A state in which irony becomes existentially externalized; usually through the introduction of new technology which is a skeuomorph of prior technology e.g. factories replacing farms in the era of late 1880's industrialization.
Modernism shifted parody from the literary to the existential; and heavily foreboded the existential self-parody of postmodernism.

hyperlinear 

Linearity of such infinite nature that it reveals its cyclicality in the next cultural or metaphysical dimension.
Self-reference, which is congruent to consciousness itself, is a hyperlinear manifestation that has a recursive (cyclical) foundation.

Vikaasian Paradox 

Proposition that all singularities are based on dualities. For instance linear cultural time sits on cyclical cultural time; consciousness as a oneness sits on top of a recursive duality of linearity and cyclicality; and momentum (unidirectionality) is a product of tension between two opposing forces ie. all comparisons are contrasts.
The assertion that Western philosophy is driven by the recognition that existentialism (authentic existence) and free will cannot both truly coexist is a demonstration of the Vikaasian Paradox.
