Metabolical Cognition

The hypothesis that the most fundamental form of biological "knowing" and decision-making occurs at the metabolic level. Before a neuron ever fires, a cell is making "choices"—allocating resources, switching pathways, responding to signals—based on its metabolic state. This frames cognition not as a brain-first phenomenon, but as an evolved extension of the intelligent, adaptive problem-solving inherent in metabolism itself.
Example: "The slime mold solving a maze isn't thinking; it's exhibiting metabolical cognition. Its network of protoplasm shifts resources based on chemical gradients, effectively 'computing' the shortest path. It's a hungry, thinking goo that demonstrates intelligence is older than brains."

Matador

A person, usually highly attractive, who brazenly flaunts their various red flags to garner the attention of potential significant others. They are proud of their negative traits and behavior, and dating one is always a horrible idea.

Named for the sport of Bullfighting, where the eponymous bullfighters will use a red cloth to agitate a bull to charge at them, while repeatedly thrusting swords into the animal's body and heart until it dies.
Person A: "Person B, you have got to stop dating Person C. You can't fix them, they're a matador!"

Person B: "You just don't understand our relationship."
