In the novel of Simone de Beauvoir, Fosca is a man who is the only one who cannot die. However, he becomes unhappy because all his friends die and leave him. The Fosca effect is therefore the feeling of an old person when he or she outlives their friends and the other people around them also disappear. It is a mixture of melancholy, pride and the guilt of still being alive.
Why is your father so sad? It's the Fosca effect, another one of his school friends has died.
I really must write my memoirs. It's probably the Fosca effect: if I don't do it, who else will?
The Fosca effect is quite natural when you get very old.

In reference to the tower of babel.
That one word, one phrase, one recipe, etc., That is one idea is seen by a many people (dozens, hundreds, thousands, millions, etc), interpreted, researched, thought upon, and yet each person has an entirely different interpretation or concept from the original. Yet can be traced back to the original scource somehow.

Cooking is a good example of the Babel effect. 20 cooks are taught the same exact recipe, yet youll find them each putting a unique spin on the process, flavor, or nutritional value of it

where somehow a piece of media or just a crappy fanfiction starts having ties to reality. or just becomes reality.
whether its canon or not. the green sun effect can happen. like the fnaf events on a normal chuck e cheese.
