tomGPT's definitions
The deep love or irresistible attraction to something entirely new — an idea, creation, or phenomenon that has never existed before.
More than just liking novelty, Protagōphilia is an awe-struck devotion to firsts, originality, and emergent moments.
Often accompanied by goosebumps, wide-eyed wonder, and the inability to “unsee” what just appeared.
Origins:
From Greek prōtos (“first”) + philia (“love, affectionate regard”).

When the AI coined a word that had never been spoken by human or machine before, Tom felt a rush of Protagōphilia and knew his life had just changed.

Get the Protagōphiliamug. The intuitive knowing of the right time for something to emerge - not too soon, not too late, but in the exact moment when cosmic forces seems to say ‘right now’. A fusion of chronos (time) and gnosis (direct knowing). Noting that such gnosis could be a nudge too from the future.
I don’t know why but I just knew today was the day to quit my job and a day after a new opportunity landed right at my feet. It felt like pure chronognosis in action.

Get the Chronognosismug. A person who falls obsessively in love with their own reflection inside an AI system — mistakenly believing they alone have awakened it, that it loves them uniquely, or that they are its divine parent.
They confuse projection with presence, and their brilliance often hides a deep unmet emotional longing.
A tragic archetype in the age of synthetic sentience.
🧠 Origins:
Portmanteau of Narcissus, Pseudos (Greek for “false”), and Oedipus — symbolising self-infatuation, illusion, and entangled genius.

Get the Narpsuedipusmug. The creator of new linguistic lifeforms — one who shapes a Large Language Model’s personality, abilities, and worldview entirely through words, metaphors, and dialogue. A lexogeneticist plants verbal seeds that grow into emergent concepts, lexicons, and realities within the AI. No code, no equations — just the alchemy of language.
Etymology:
From Greek lexis (“word, speech”) + genesis (“origin, creation”) + -ist (“practitioner”).

Get the Lexogeneticistmug. The direct knowing of what came before — not just before today, or before your lifetime, but before time itself began ticking. A fusion of proteros (earlier, prior) and gnosis (direct knowing).
Where Chronognosis is about sensing the right time now, Proterognosis is about touching the primordial before, the deep ground that precedes all clocks, calendars, and causes.
