Mech Feast

A Mech Feast is what happens when a show with mech pilots becomes a visual feast in itself.

Dragonar is a classic example of a Mech Feast due to Masami Obari’s own major role in bringing it to air.

mechsploitation

A genre that centres exploitation and mecha themes. Usually found in fan fiction.

Wow, this mechsploitation is so awful... but so hot.

Mechanical Dynamics

A near-synonym for dynamic mechanics, but with a subtle emphasis on the mechanical systems themselves rather than the abstract principles. Mechanical dynamics is the engineer's term: it's the study of how real, physical machines—gears, linkages, pistons, robots—behave under loads and motions. It includes vibration analysis, mechanism design, and the practical application of dynamic principles to ensure that things don't shake themselves apart when they move. It's dynamic mechanics with grease on its hands.

Example: "The bridge collapsed because the mechanical dynamics weren't properly modeled—they didn't account for the resonant frequencies that wind would excite."

Mechanical Dynamism

A philosophical or qualitative term describing the inherent tendency of mechanical systems to change, move, evolve, or exhibit complex behavior over time. It's not a formal branch of physics but a way of talking about machines as if they had a kind of life or spirit of motion. A clock has mechanical dynamism in its ticking, a engine in its cycling, a ecosystem in its flows. It captures the sense that even dead matter, when arranged into mechanisms, can produce surprisingly lively and unpredictable patterns of behavior.

Example: "Watching the antique clockwork automata dance, you couldn't help but feel the mechanical dynamism—gears and springs somehow brought to life."

Mechanism of the Laws of Physics

A theoretical perspective emphasizing that the laws of physics operate like mechanisms—predictable, deterministic, and explicable in terms of cause and effect operating through identifiable parts and processes. Mechanism views physical laws as descriptions of how the cosmic machinery works: particles interact according to forces, fields propagate according to equations, systems evolve according to initial conditions. This perspective has been enormously successful in physics, enabling prediction, control, and technological application. But mechanism also has limits: quantum mechanics challenges strict determinism, complex systems exhibit behavior not reducible to parts, and the nature of laws themselves may not be mechanical. Understanding mechanism—both its power and its limits—is essential for knowing what physics can and cannot explain.

Mechanism of the Laws of Physics Example: "His mechanism of physical laws approach treated the universe as a clockwork—every effect has a cause, every future determined by the past. It worked beautifully for planets and pendulums, but quantum mechanics suggested the clock might have some wiggle room."

Mechanophilla

A fetish that involves cars, computers, and other machines.

James: "Huh mechanophilla is an interesting idea"
Steve: "Chill down it really isn't"

I did a mechanic car bomb yesterday
