A principle proposing that causality is subject to a conservation law—that the total amount of causal structure in the universe remains constant. Conservation of Causality suggests that you can't create new causes or destroy old effects; you can only rearrange causal relationships. This has implications for time travel (you can't create paradoxes because causality is conserved), for quantum mechanics (entanglement redistributes causality), and for free will (our choices are causal transactions, not violations). It's causality as a budget: you can spend it, but you can't print it.
Conservation of Causality Theory "Time travel stories always have paradoxes—kill your grandfather, you're never born. Conservation of Causality says: can't happen. Causality is conserved; you can't create a loop that breaks the budget. Time travel might be possible, but paradoxes aren't—causality won't allow it."

conversion

Hasbro, the company that produces Transformers toys and media, has recently used the term "conversion" more often than "transformation" in their marketing. However, "transformation" remains the more widely recognized and accepted term within the fictional universe.
"The instructions for the new Optimus Prime action figure detail a 30-step conversion from his iconic truck mode to his heroic robot form."

Porn conversion

A conversion from the square to the porn life style because it similar to a religious conversion. It is the realization that all this time you could have been getting some and that life is flat and empty without and getting some is one of the main things in life or even the meaning of life it's self.

pharmascene conversion

A reaction to taking a new drug or medication that is so abrupt and paradigm-breaking that one immediately realizes that life, and one's perception of it, has been fundamentally and irreversibly changed. Named so in analogy to a religious experience, and as a portmanteau of "pharmaceutical" and "Damascene conversion".
Yeah, I was in pretty bad shape when the EMTs pulled me out of the wreck, but then they put the morphine in the IV and... man, I had a pharmascene conversion.

The Extraphysical Conservation Problem refers to the theoretical difficulty of extending classical conservation laws (energy, momentum, information, etc.) beyond the physical universe into hypothetical extraphysical domains such as multiverses, higher dimensions, probability spaces, or non-material realms. While physics assumes conservation holds within a closed system, this problem questions what happens when the “system” includes parallel universes, branching timelines, or non-physical layers of reality. It asks whether conservation laws still apply globally, whether they are redistributed across realities, or whether conservation itself breaks down outside spacetime. The problem is central to speculative cosmology, multiverse theory, and extraphysical metaphysics.
Extraphysical Conservation Problem — Example

Imagine a multiverse experiment where energy appears to vanish from our universe during a quantum event. Later, another universe shows an unexplained energy surge at the exact same probabilistic moment. Locally, conservation seems violated in both universes, but globally—across the multiverse—the total energy may remain conserved. The problem is that observers inside only one universe cannot verify whether conservation holds extraphysically or is merely broken beyond their measurement horizon.

Welch conversion

Converting a person who welched on a bet, to finally paying you the bet.
Norm finally paid me the money he owed me from a bet, after I gave him a ton of shit for being a Welch. He is a Welch conversion.
