Community Selection Theory

A specific mechanism within community evolution where the fitness of the entire group, not just individuals, becomes the primary unit of selection. Communities with traits that enhance cooperation, resource sharing, and collective defense outcompete or out-survive more selfish or disorganized groups, even if those traits come at a cost to individual members. The theory asks: do communities evolve because it benefits the individuals, or because some communities are simply better at persisting as wholes?
Example: Military units or firefighting crews operate under Community Selection Theory. The unit that drills for self-sacrifice and flawless coordination (a group-level trait) will survive a battle or fire where a group of individually talented but uncoordinated people would perish. The cohesive group is "selected for," even though the trait (readiness for sacrifice) lowers individual fitness.

Blank Selection

Blank Selection is a term instituted by Wendy Beach (Editor-in-Chief, Wild Whispers Poetry Magazine) to replace the common ableist “blind selection” label still in use (referring to anonymous editorial processes), and is retained as no alternative terminology currently exists. Blank Selection as a new term replaces the ableist “blind selection” practice, where judges assess poems without knowing poets’ names. The name consciously parallels blank verse’s liberation from formalist restrictions, extending this ethos to combat restrictive language in editorial processes.
The poetry competition had a blank selection process to keep it fair.

Post-Execution Steamcore (PESC)

A fringe subgenre of the totally real* musical movement known as Steamcore, characterized by an unholy alliance of industrial chaos, absurd performance art, and oddly specific sound requirements.

A proper PESC track must contain:

The sound of wet meat being slapped (meat drum, steak percussion, etc.)

Throat chanting in any language (preferably unknown)

Vague, alien-sounding nouns and verbs

At least one coherent spoken line that makes sense grammatically but has zero context

Screams, bells, or random telephone rings

At least one unorthodox instrument (e.g., tires, coat hangers, ball-peen hammers, spoons)

Steam noises, because Steamcore

Something called a polyphonic rupture, which nobody understands but everyone agrees sounds important

PESC is allegedly post-execution because it’s “what music sounds like after the final curtain,” according to self-declared genre prophet Fateswhim.

*Totally real in the same way Bigfoot’s Spotify is real.
“Bro, this track slapped — literally, there’s a guy hitting steaks in 7/8 time over a steam hiss while someone in the background keeps yelling about moose prophecy. 100% Post-Execution Steamcore (PESC)”

Natural selection

The act of doing something really stupid, and facing severe consequences because of it such as injury or worse.
Person 1: Dude, have you heard about Tom??? He broke his leg after he tried to use a skateboard on a a trampoline!

Person 2: Pfft, that's just natural selection to be honest.

writ of execution

What the hot-tempered Queen of Hearts would have needed to actually chop off the heads of any of her subjects whom she happened to be displeased at.
Since the King of Hearts quietly told all of the condemned croquet-players, "you are all of you pardoned", it seems fairly doubtful that he would actually have scribed out a writ of execution in any instance, especially if it was merely because his wife the Queen wanted it so.
