noun
1. A psychological and metaphysical condition observed in individuals who experience cyclical temporal regression, typically triggered by death, and return to a fixed point in their personal timeline. The syndrome describes the progressive erosion of sanity and the conscious adoption of a fractured psyche as a direct result of the accumulated trauma from repeated deaths and lived experiences across multiple timelines.
2. The defining state where the subject ceases to perceive regression as a failure or a punishment, and instead weaponizes the process. By deliberately absorbing the existential dissonance and psychic feedback of their fractured existence, the subject transforms latent insanity into a source of power, strategic insight, or unconventional ability, viewing each life and death as an experimental data point for achieving a superordinate goal.

Characters like 'Kim Gong-Ja' from the manhwa "SSS Class Suicide Hunter" and 'Encrid' from the manhwa "Eternally Regressing Knight" use their eternal regression curse as a tool and a method to get stronger, meanwhile also obtaining the insanity of being able to tolerate pain and death tens and even hundreds of times without giving up. This is the definition of the 'Regressive Insanity Syndrome'

Get the Age Regression mug."Regression to the Gene" is the uncanny and often hilarious phenomenon where, despite one's valiant efforts, countless self-help books, and even the occasional life-changing seminar, an individual's behavior, quirks, and even sneeze patterns inevitably circle back to mirror those of their family tree. It's as if your DNA has a sense of humor, ensuring that no matter how hard you try to reinvent yourself, you'll find yourself laughing like your dad at bad jokes, hoarding condiments like your mom, or even adopting grandpa's infamous eyebrow wiggle during serious conversations. This cosmic joke of nature proves that you can take the person out of the family, but you can't take the family out of the person. So next time you catch yourself saying, "I'll never be like my parents!" remember, regression to the gene waits for no one, ready to remind you that family traits stick closer than that one sock you can't seem to get rid of.
"After years of yoga and meditation to calm his fiery temper, John exploded over a spilled coffee, proving once again the inescapable pull of regression to the gene. He laughed it off, saying, 'Well, looks like I'm truly my father's son!'"
