possible-contingent dichotomy

A successor to the dichotomy of causation and correlation that expresses the positive-normative dichotomy in terms of time itself.

The possible-contingent dichotomy argues that there are only two categories of observation: possible and acausal.

Time emerges to become the only contingency; making it the foundation of acausality.

contingent factor

A fact that a bunch of other stuff hinges upon. If true, it makes lots of causally related stuff likely true and if not true, then related stuff is likely false. For example, the fact that the climate is getting warmer is a contingent factor for global warming, or the fact that the world is actually getting better, and is better than it ever has been (see Stephen Pinker, "The Better Angels of our Nature"), even though it feels day to day like a stinking pile of diseased flabby fat rolls, is a continent factor that global trade is not evil.

Being caught red handed creeping with the girl next door is a contingent factor that you cheated; it was you.

Constingency 

The art of defining a budget value that on first inspection seems large enough, but in reality is not nearly enough

In a modern political economy Healthcare funding is based on the theory of constingency so at all times further cutbacks can be justified

Contingencial Logico‑Epistemology

A framework that emphasizes contingency, context‑dependence, and uncertainty in logic and knowledge. It rejects the idea of necessary logical truths or universal epistemic standards, arguing that what counts as logical or rational depends on contingent facts about the world, our biology, our history, or our practical interests. Contingencial logico‑epistemology often overlaps with pragmatism, evolutionary epistemology, and situated cognition, and it challenges the search for a priori foundations.

Example: “Her contingencial logico‑epistemology research showed that the rules of inference used by emergency responders shift with the stakes—high risk contexts tolerate less certainty.”

continuence 

Crisis.

Phase of religious development in which human beings are fighting with language and language is fighting with human beings.

Continuence is the middle of the three religious stages of development; between creation and climax.

The three stages are also called "creation, crisis, and culmination."
