Transparency
Hey, my mom and dad both just went under the knife to change their sexes. I’m a victim of transparency!

Transparency
Hym "And in the spirit of transparency... Nobody wants their kid to die just so you don't have to credit and pay me. And I have no reason to work a bullshit gas station job I am likely going to lose soon just because some asshole doesn't want to pay somebody. I'm not taking the hit. It just isn't going to happen. There are no bystanders here. You are either getting me my money or you love watching children get murdered for no reason as much as I do and THERE IS NO IN-BETWEEN."

fluid transparency
Truthful information that is provided in a misleading or confusing manner in order to suggest different results or intentions.
Similar to how light refraction causes an object to appear to bend in water.
Examples:
Partial inspections that allow contraband to be relocated between inspections
An incompetent spokesperson that can provide raw data, but is unable to provide context
Graphs set to an awkward scale to imply different or more impressive results

Person 1: Look at our profit growth. It's off the charts!
Person 2: It only looks that way because the chart doesn't start at zero. It's less than 1%.
Person 1: That's rather disappointing.
Person 2: That's how fluid transparency works. It's not untrue, just misleading.

Development Transparency
A term that is rarely used, to represent how transparent the development of a game, or the update for the game is. This can range from showing everything that is being worked on, to all the way to keeping everything hidden from the public eye.
Quantum Science Incorporated's Development Transparency is Semi-Transparent, because they show sneak peeks of some parts of the stuff that they are working on. They do not show everything that is being developed.
However, some groups Development Transparency is at its full, because they show every thing that is being worked on, and all the progress that is being made.
Some groups have absolutely no Development Transparency, and update the game by surprise.

Theory of Scientific Transparency
A meta-scientific framework proposing that science must be radically open about its processes, assumptions, limitations, and internal workings—not merely its final results. It demands that researchers disclose funding sources, methodological choices, raw data, analytical decisions, and even failures. The theory argues that without such transparency, science risks becoming a black box of authority rather than a self‑correcting enterprise. It underpins movements like open science, preregistration, and data sharing, treating opacity as a threat to epistemic integrity.
Example: “The replication crisis pushed the theory of scientific transparency into practice: journals now require raw data and analysis scripts, forcing researchers to show their work, not just their conclusions.”

Theory of Logical Transparency
A logical and meta‑logical principle that the rules and premises of an argument should be made fully explicit, so that any step can be examined and challenged. It rejects the use of hidden assumptions, ambiguous terms, or unstated inferences. Logical transparency is essential for critical thinking, formal systems, and honest debate—it forces reasoners to show their logical work, not just their conclusions.
Theory of Logical Transparency Example: “He demanded logical transparency in the debate: every premise had to be stated, every inference justified. When his opponent relied on ‘common sense’ without definition, the transparency principle exposed the gap.”
