A more granular version of regionalism, focusing on how hyper-local variations in material conditions—a single valley's microclimate, a specific hill's defensibility, a unique local mineral spring—create radically different societal outcomes even within the same broader region. It emphasizes that history is made not on continents, but in parishes, neighborhoods, and watersheds.
Theory of Locality of Material Conditions Example: In medieval Europe, a village built on a rocky hill with a freshwater spring (local material conditions) could become an independent, fortified town. A village a few miles away on a fertile floodplain might become a wealthy but vulnerable estate of a feudal lord. Their divergent political fates were dictated by a few meters of elevation and access to water.

Get the Theory of Locality of Material Conditions mug.The psychological sequence that involves an individual who only displays one barefoot (and another foot that has a sock or any foot covering on), especially to record a video or take pictures for sexual gratification or attention. This term is specifically focused on individuals who prefer having only one barefoot shown rather than both barefeet at the same time.
Some videos on YouTube demonstrate "only one sock on, one sock off" conditioning to sexually attract some individuals (predominantly males) who prefer over some videos that show both barefeet at the same time.
A man who records feet videos of any woman uploads a video that demonstrates "one sock on, one sock off" conditioning.

Get the connection whore mug.That fat lady (over there) is a coniptionista. All it takes is the slightest reference to something being overweight and she blows up. Often she gets outraged because people move out of the way as she lumbers down the street and moves into full coniptionista mode by launching into a tirade about prejudices inflicted on fat people, how requiring a fat person to purchase two seats on an airplane was unfair just because they are over 500 pounds, that there is a conspiracy by ruthless corporations to hypnotize people to overeat, how fit people are really fat people with low self-esteem, and so on. A coniptionista is very easily inflamed and readily seeks obscure reasons to explode and cause tension. Full coniptionista mode is achieved by foregoing all formalities and swearing in a manner that would embarrass sailors.
