The error of declaring certain claims to be facts and others to be false based on nothing but personal preference or tribal allegiance, ignoring evidence, expertise, and consistency. This fallacy is how someone can believe that vaccines are dangerous despite overwhelming scientific consensus, or that an election was stolen despite dozens of court cases and audits. Facts become a la carte: you pick what's true based on what feels good, what your team believes, or what serves your interests. The fallacy of arbitrary factuality is the death of shared reality, because if facts are just whatever you want them to be, then we're not having a conversation—we're just yelling at each other from different dimensions.
Example: "She committed the fallacy of arbitrary factuality in the group chat, declaring that a viral TikTok was 'facts' while dismissing a peer-reviewed study as 'just someone's opinion.' When asked why, she said the study 'felt wrong' and the TikTok 'felt right.' Facts, for her, were feelings, and reality was whatever she felt like believing."

Law of Spectral Factuality

The principle that factuality exists on a spectrum between absolute and relative, with infinite gradations and multiple dimensions. Under this law, a statement isn't simply factual or not factual—it's factual to some degree, in some frameworks, under some interpretations, for some purposes. The law of spectral factuality recognizes that factuality is not binary but continuous, that claims can be more or less supported, more or less independent of perspective, more or less universal in their validity. This law is essential for understanding debates where both sides claim facts—they're often occupying different positions on the factuality spectrum, not disagreeing about the same facts.
Law of Spectral Factuality Example: "He analyzed the climate debate using spectral factuality, mapping claims across dimensions: empirical support (high for mainstream science, low for denial), framework dependence (some claims hold across frameworks, others don't), interpretive flexibility (data can be read multiple ways). The spectral coordinates explained why both sides felt factual—they were, just in different senses. The map didn't resolve the debate, but it showed why it was so persistent."

Texan PB&J Factory

The Texan PB&J Factory is a sexual move performed between 2 consenting partners. It requires immense rectal strength to properly perform. In the first stage, one partner must assume the piledriver position and point their ass directly at the roof/sky, while the other must procure at least 50 peanuts, 10 packing peanuts, 50g of butter, two slices of bread, and 500mg of jalapeño blackberry jam. The partner with the ingredients must first probe the other partner's rectum until the anus is loose enough for insertion, then lather the asshole with butter. Then, they must insert one slice of bread, followed by 250mg of jam, then packing peanuts, then regular peanuts, then 250mg of jam, then bread again. Afterwards, it must marinate inside the partner's gut for 24 hours before being shat back out, then enjoyed as a delicacy between both partners. Then they must both jerk off and eat that for dessert.
Guy A: Carl just Texan PB&J Factory'd Jessica!
Guy B: I am going to give that lousy, lowdown fucker a Glasgow Smile.
Guy C: Haha Joker!

Absolute and Relative Facts

A distinction between facts that hold independently of any perspective or context, and facts that are true only within a specific framework. Absolute Facts are the ones everyone must accept regardless of their beliefs: water is H2O, gravity exists, you were born on a specific date. Relative Facts are true relative to a particular system: the fact that "this painting is beautiful" is true relative to your aesthetic framework but not universally; the fact that "this move is illegal" is true relative to the rules of chess. The trouble starts when people treat Relative Facts as Absolute, or deny Absolute Facts because they conflict with their Relative framework.
Absolute and Relative Facts "He keeps saying his 'facts' are different from my 'facts.' But gravity is an Absolute Fact—it doesn't care about your perspective. Whether this painting is 'good' is a Relative Fact, and we can disagree without one of us being wrong about reality."

Theory of Constructed Facts

The position that facts are not simply discovered features of reality but are built through scientific, legal, and social practices. A fact is a claim that has been stabilized—tested, validated, accepted, and made to stick. This doesn't mean facts aren't real—it means their reality is achieved, not given. The Theory of Constructed Facts studies how facts are made: the work required to establish them, the controversies they survive, the infrastructure that supports them, the communities that maintain them. Facts are real, but reality doesn't come pre-fact-ed.
"You think 'climate change is real' is just a fact that was always there? Theory of Constructed Facts says: it took thousands of scientists, decades of research, satellites, models, debates, and reports to construct that fact. It's real because it was built—and the building is ongoing."

Pussy Compatibility Factor

The Pussy Compatibility Factor, or PCF for short, is a highly advanced, ever-evolving quantum metric, calculated on a reverse logarithmic hyperwave scale to assess an individual’s metaphysical synchronization with universally recognized, but poorly defined, vibronic energies. Often invoked during moments of unpredictable chaos, its readings fluctuate between 0 and Avogadro's Number, based on an undisclosed algorithm partially written in Comic Sans. Many findings of the PCF can be proven through thought experiments, such as the Gibraltar-Bosenheim equilibrium and Schrödinger's Pussy.
Person 1: I sense that our Pussies are in Simple Harmonic Equilibrium
Person 2: Indeed so!
Person 1: The Pussy Compatibility Factor, or PCF, is a well-regarded and highly useful scale to determine relationships between individuals, which in this case, is you, Person 2, and me, Person 1.
