The theory of musical equilibration (in German: die strebetendenz-theorie or, literally, the tendency to strive theory) is a psychological theory that argues that music does not elicit emotion directly and that, instead, the listener "identifies with musically-encoded processes of will" and interprets them to produce an emotional effect.
"Music and Emotions - Research on the Theory of Musical Equilibration" is the English edition of the German publication "Musik und Emotionen - Studien zur Strebetendenz-Theorie" by Daniela and Bernd Willimek; it was translated by Laura Russell. The first part of the book addresses the main premise of the Theory.

Get the Theory of musical equilibrationmug. Latin meaning: those lost to another dimension;
The complex and complicated theory that the same person from different dimensions is trapped in this one. These people all represent one person from alternate dimensions, but somehow, for unknown reasons, ended up in the same dimension. These people are very similar and only differ in the characteristics they received from their individual dimensions. For example, the same person could be the opposite sex in another dimension, but these people would still have similar personality traits and think in similar ways.
The original person who actually belongs in this dimension is aware of all of these "fakes", but is powerless and cannot get rid of them because if one of the fake copies dies, all of the others do too, as well as everyone else in the entire world. The universe's many dimensions rip apart because it realizes that these fake copies have come to coexist with the original. Therefore, the original isn't a real threat to the fake copies.
The fakes can kill the original. If the original is killed, one of the fake copies replaces them. The universe tries to fill in the blank of the original by using one of the fakes, and doesn't take note that the fake or actual original ever existed beforehand. The fake copy becomes the new original, but it's as if nothing occurred in the first place and as if the original never really died.

Todd: Hey, do you believe in the... *whispers* The Quod Perierat Theory?
Amanda: What? You know about it?!
Todd: Rick and I are pretty sure that Alice is our original.
Amanda: Oh my god. What are you guys going to do?
Todd: Actually, since we're the same person, it's more like just 'you'. I think I'm going to get rid of Alice.
Amanda: What does Rick want to do?
Todd: I mean, naturally, he agrees with me, just like on most things. Same person and all.

Get the Interquartile drip theorymug. The Henry Resool Index is a measure of how susceptible individuals are to believing their own false reality or truth to the point of delusion. A death of a relative could lead to a situation where an individual expresses these mannerisms - they may begin to replace the loss of their loved one by undergoing drastic changes in behaviour seen in conditions like BPD, for example consuming large amounts of alcohol or suddenly becoming sexually active to a destructive point in an effort to numb the pain of loss experienced. Their internal thought processes would be generally fueled by denial of the situation at hand as the sudden shock could be too much to bare on the mind, individuals most susceptible to the henry resool effect range from aged 13+.
The henry resool theory explains why my father has tricked himself into believing he makes rational life decisions whereas in reality his life is chaos.

Get the The Henry Resool Theorymug. A derivative of Evolutionary Masculinity Theory. This theory posits that independent, strong women submit to men, who they are more or less oppressing, by accepting the male's sexualized submissive world view, at which point these independent, strong women are living in the image of a male's world outlook as referenced by the Evolutionary Masculinity Theory.
"Did you hear about Khara who is cuckolding her unwilling, disabled, veteran husband deployed in an active warzone? She thinks it's so sexually empowering, but little does she know she is actually validating Inferior Female Theory because he has sexualized his position, thus assuming the dominant role from the bottom and she has submitted to her fate."

Get the 2nd Pancake Theorymug. An alternative form of voting in which instead of showing your support for something, you instead vote against something you dislike. Traditionally to balance the system, you also add a clause where you may anti-vote as many times as you wish in order to get an accurate representation of how much people hate things. This form of voting is beneficial as it plays in to the much more natural human instinct of hating things instead of finding ways to like them.
1: hey who are you gonna vote for in the next election
2: I hate all of them, I wish I could just anti-vote the ones I hate the most
1: You’re talking about the Anti-Vote Theory dude
