hypermodernity

Hypermodernity is a design-oriented heuristic that assumes that the part, when deconstructed to an attribute, can become GREATER than the whole. This is in contrast to postmodernism which posits that the WHOLE is greater than the sum of its parts.

A great way to counterpose postmodernism and hypermodernity is to say that while postmodern has an (anti-) object-orientation hypermodernity has an ATTRIBUTE-orientation

Hypermodernity exists in an increasingly fault-tolerant user experience in which objects are being deconstructed to their skeuomorphs (mimetic attributes). A tangible example of this is the touch-screen keypad replacing the flip phone keypad.

This has measurable impact on cultural consumers; who now define a product as an intersection between form and function (analogous to whole and sum-of-parts unity in modernism). Form-function unity induces a parallel revolution in material design and composition. (Even the term “material design” is an oxymoron in postmodernism.)

The increasing prevalence of skeuomorphs in disparate technological contexts and mediums means that culturally, the fake converges with the real in a hyperreality or augmented-reality-as-an-interface existence. This is evidenced by the rise of virtual reality, Google glass, Pokemon Go, virtual geo-cache incentivization, and most significantly, false social nodes (filter bubbles) created by online social networks that have an off-world impact.
In postmodernity, we watched drama on television and interpreted reality as drama; in hypermodernity, we watch reality on television and live in a Trumpian drama.

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.

hyperiding

The act of utilising, excessively trading on or monetising current trends. Forms of hyperiding include promoting, reselling or creating goods of short-term demand predominantly apparel. Hyperiding individuals are so-called "hype riders", a closely related but more expressive synonym of the term "hype beast". Hyperiding is commonly used as an expression for exploitation of a trend, rather than the mere usage.
"Have you seen Monicas fake supreme shirt, she made herself?" - "Yeah, she's just hyperiding"

hypercreativity

Hypercreativity is an extremely high degree of creativity, whether it's experienced in periodic moments or for an extended period of time. It's often accompanied by a lot of energy, passion, and faster than normal thought speed.

All people experience creativity... but not everybody experiences hypercreativity. This is a mind state characterized by abstract thought patterns, rapid cycles of thinking, and a diverse array of ideas that may seem to be random but are often related in a subconscious way.

Hypercreativity occurs naturally in certain people... but just as with any other brain-related disciplines, hypercreativity can be cultivated and practiced. Just about anybody can increase their level of hypercreativity through self-awareness, thought exercises, and the acquisition of knowledge in addition to creative experience.

The challenge for a person experiencing hypercreativity is staying on task, focusing, and the diligence to finish projects when their passions and attentions drift elsewhere. In fact, this is often the biggest difference between individuals for whom hypercreativity occurs naturally and those who develop their hypercreativity.
When Angela saw the inspirational film, her hypercreativity kicked in like a bolt of lighting... she seized her sketchbook and markers and sketched ideas well into the night.

Hypermodernism

Nihilism specifically nihilism in its aesthetic form (skeuomorphism) masquerading as postmodernism. (Nihilism externalizes (individualizes) the irony that postmodernism internalizes (existentializes (collectivizes)).

Hypermodernism deconstructs the material form-function duality of Postmodernism into the material design-attribute duality characteristic of metamaterials.

Hypermodernism is based on the Vikaas rule, which states that in Postmodern deconstructionism, a singularity bifurcates into a duality; rather than a duality converging into a singularity.
Postmodernism internalizes its own ironies rather than account for (recurse with) them. Nihilism regurgitates these ironies in its aesthetic manifestation (skeuomorph). The externalization of this irony is called Hypermodernism.
