irrationale

like a rationale, but insane rationally!
something people base conversations, politics, ways of being or actions on that makes no sense, or is based on a logical fallacy.

eg: James has got a parking ticket, therefore he doesn't respect society and should be stopped!
person 1: James has got a parking ticket, therefore he doesn't respect society and should be stopped!
person 2 (in their own head): that's an irrationale.

irrationalize

To explain behavior or attitude with illogical, implausible reasons.
"Because my closest friends will be there", she said, "everyone I most like spending time with", explaining why she refused to go to the party. He could counter any reasonable explanation with facts, but hearing her irrationalize, he became flummoxed and just gave in.

Irrational Universe Theory

Similar to Illogical Universe Theory but emphasizing the role of unreason, passion, and the non-rational in cosmic structure. Where illogical focuses on logical consistency, irrational focuses on the absence of reason—the universe may not be reasonable, may not care about our standards of rationality, may operate on principles that look like madness from a human perspective. Irrational Universe Theory doesn't claim the universe is crazy; it claims that rationality is our category, not the universe's. The cosmos is not reasonable; it just is.
Irrational Universe Theory "You expect the universe to make sense, to be reasonable. Irrational Universe Theory says: why? Reason is your thing, not the universe's. The cosmos was here before reason evolved; it will be here after. Expecting rationality from existence is like expecting a rock to appreciate poetry. The universe isn't irrational—it's a-rational, beyond your categories entirely."
