Vikaasian space 

The concept that physical space (3 dimensions) and all extant physical and metaphysical dimensions are manifestations of an infinitely recursive duality of linear and cyclical time in which cyclical time is itself understood to be a duality of linear and cyclical time. Implies that the maximum number of dimensions (physical and metaphysical) is infinity^2. Implies that all information in the physical and metaphysical realm can be expressed (united) as an expression of time and that linear time (acting within three physical dimensions) is an illusion created by cyclical time. Implies that all design is an illusion, except for an infinitely recursive duality. Implication of the Vikaasian paradox.
Vikaasian space unites all physical and metaphysical dimensions, indicates that the metaphysical is just as "real" as the physical, and posits design as an illusion.

actualizative

having the property of self-actualization or convergence between self and ideal (recursive) self. Refers to an individual having a sense of his own existential orientation; a movement aware of its own orientation in history; the fake converging with the real (hypermodernism); or past and future converging into a single resonant moment in time (metamodernism).
Marilyn Monroe was an actualizative starlet who was not only unparalleled onscreen, but recognized her own contributions to film pantheon as iconic during the course of her career.

interiorization 

A byzantine display of hallways, stairs, rooms, and walls within 1950's noir films. On the first degree, a visual metaphor for the existential horror of modernism. Modernism as a labyrinth or maze representing the futility of man's self-created choices; a system in which all choices are ultimately identical; a false freedom; fatalism. The concept that human-created systems--modernism (industrialization)--cannot civilize man; and offer him unsustainable (inauthentic) progress. The concept that man cannot save himself. On the second degree, a metaphor for the idea that modernism is more indicative of man than man is of modernism; that man's authentic essence is that of a heart of darkness. Presaged the onset of postmodernism.
Interiorization is a deep visual metaphor that indicates man cannot willfully create unique existential choices, material progress is a false dichotomy from man's 'true' essence, modernism deludes human beings into the perception of false progress; the essence of man is a heart of darkness (Joseph P. Conrad); and modernism is more an indictment of man than man is a representative of the progress of modernism.

irony squared 

Irony as an external attribute; beyond the qualities of an implicit component. Irony as a subjectively-applied attribute of an object which ALREADY contains internal ironic components. Irony that falls outside of the bounds of postmodernism. Postmodernists call it post-irony and ascribe it primarily to post-postmodernism; although much of post-irony arcs farther, into hypermodernism. Includes ironic nihilism, ideal ironicism (aesthetic), and ironic identity (racial; collective conciousness). Popular in the alt-right messaging approach

A number of late 90’s postmodern academics considered second-degree existential irony to be a boundary of postmodernism rather than external to postmodernism itself; however this analysis did not take into account the unique attributes of nihilism as compared to existentialism as a whole
Ironic nihilism is an example of irony squared because nihilism itself already contains implicit irony.

Electro-industrialism 

Aesthetic in which industrial characteristics define electronic interfaces
Sega's arcade games contain generous motifs of electro-industrialism
Empathetic (ethical) "more-conscious-than-conscious" artificial intelligence
Empathy--as an attribute over consciousness- - is the holy grail of ethical AI--a true cryborg.
