Abzu-Nammu Hypothesis

A synthesis proposing that the universe is the conscious dream (Nammu) of a transcendent, unconscious ground (Abzu). It posits a two-tiered ontology: 1) The Abzu: an eternal, infinite, non-conscious potentiality, pure being-without-quality, the absolute ground. 2) Nammu: the first "disturbance" or "awareness" within the Abzu, which then generates the entire manifest cosmos as its experiential content. Our reality is Nammu's conscious exploration of the latent possibilities contained within the silent Abzu. This model reconciles impersonal ground-of-being philosophies with panpsychist or cosmopsychist views.
Example: Think of the Abzu as a perfectly dark, silent, and infinite room. The Nammu is the first spark of light and curiosity in that room. The room itself (Abzu) has no properties, but contains the potential for every possible shape and color. The light (Nammu) begins to move, and as it illuminates different parts of the room, entire worlds of form and drama spring into being—those illuminated worlds are our universe. We are characters in Nammu's light-play, made from the substance of the Abzu room, animated by Nammu's conscious attention. Abzu-Nammu Hypothesis.

Abzu-Nammu Hypothesis

The grand, dualistic model where cosmic reality is an eternal dance between two primordial forces born from the Void: a nurturing, system-preserving principle (Nammu-Gaia) and a destructive, system-collapsing principle (Abzu-Medea). It suggests that existence isn't a linear path toward life or death, but a constant tension. The universe, or a biosphere, is a battlefield (or a marriage) between a force that builds complex, self-regulating order and a force that is compelled to tear it down, with both being essential, opposing aspects of the same foundational reality.

The ultimate cosmic dualism: a framework where the entire meta-reality is governed by two fundamental, opposing principles on a universal scale. The Cosmic Nammu is the principle of integration, complexity, consciousness, and self-preservation of the universal system. The Cosmic Abzu is the principle of disintegration, entropy, unconsciousness, and systemic self-destruction. Their struggle isn't good vs. evil; it's the fundamental dialectic of existence. The universe expands and creates (Nammu) only to eventually contract and dissolve (Abzu), with life and intelligence being a fleeting, intense expression of the Nammu phase within a local region, forever shadowed by its opposite.
Example: "Human civilization is a perfect lab for the Abzu-Nammu Hypothesis. The Nammu force builds libraries, farms, and international treaties—complex, self-sustaining systems. The Abzu force invents the atomic bomb, spreads pandemics via global travel, and fuels climate denial—acting as the built-in driver of collapse. Progress isn't a march forward; it's a rope pulled in two directions by twin cosmic deities, one building the sandcastle, the other waiting with the tide."

Example: "Forget gods and devils. The real cosmic drama is the Abzu-Nammu Hypothesis. Dark Energy forcing galaxies apart? That's Cosmic Nammu, creating space and time for complexity. The eventual Heat Death or Big Rip? That's Cosmic Abzu, the inevitable victory of uniformity. Our entire universe's history, from the first star to the last thought, is just one epic, localized skirmish in an eternal, unwinnable war between creation and unmaking, where both sides are equally ancient, necessary, and indifferent to the beautiful, temporary structures they build and break."

Abzu–Nammu–Enki–Aya–Anki Hypothesis

The Abzu–Nammu–Enki–Aya–Anki Hypothesis is a symbolic-metaphysical model that reinterprets ancient Mesopotamian deities as representations of foundational layers of reality rather than literal beings. In this hypothesis, Abzu represents the primordial void of potential, Nammu the undifferentiated generative substrate, Enki the principle of order, intelligence, and structure, Aya the mediating force of manifestation and transformation, and Anki the totalized cosmic system integrating heaven and earth. The hypothesis proposes that ancient myth encoded an early extraphysical ontology describing the emergence of reality through layered abstraction.
In a cosmological model, Abzu corresponds to dimension 11 (void of possibilities), Nammu to infinite probability, Enki to law-forming dynamics, Aya to interface layers between realms, and Anki to the unified multiversal structure governing all levels of existence. According to Abzu–Nammu–Enki–Aya–Anki Hypothesis.
The word 'flag' as pronounced by people with thick Belfast accents. The term is a perfect encapsulation of the disproportionate and overblown reaction to the removal of the Union Jack (as in 'de fleg') from above City Hall in Belfast. Where previously it had flown for 365 days per year, it is now flown on 17 designated days of the year - in line with many other British cities.

The event caused a portion of the Protestant community ('fleggers') to make international pricks of themselves as they proceeded to wreck the fucking place, claiming it was another erosion of a 'British' identity they perceive to have been under attack since the horrifying spectre of equality reared its head in Northern Ireland.

The word 'fleg' - and indeed 'fleggers' - fittingly describes a section of humanity unconcerned with knowledge, reality or the vagaries of the English language. Like America's tea-baggers they are ruled by instinct, fear and paranoia with a side dish of rampant bigotry and startling ignorance of the world around them.
"Wat de fuck like! The taigs got de fleg took down! Let's wreck de fuckin place! No surrender!"

"De fleg has been took down! Before ye know it there'll be a united Ireland! Attack Short Strand! God Save The Queen!"

To take something small, that doesn't quite qualify as a theft. Probably from the Danish "skæv" or the Dutch "scheef", both of which are pronounced similarly, meaning "askew, or not quite right'. To change an item's ownership without permission, but only something small and of little worth.
"I skeefed an apple off the neighbor's tree." "I skeefed some chips outta your bag when you looked away." "Don't skeef my chair when I go to the bathroom."

Hair spider

A tight, tangled knot of loose hair and lint that forms inside clothing during the clothes dryer cycle. It typically hides inside garments, causing an annoying lump or a phantom tickling sensation against the skin until it is found or falls out onto the floor during folding.

n. A screenshot fabricated by a company to misrepresent the graphics of a game; a combination of the words bullshit and screenshot.

Originated from Penny Arcade, a popular gaming webcomic.
-Have you seen Madden 2006 for the Xbox 360? The graphics are gonna be awesome!
-Dude, the Madden 2006 images they showed at E3 were bullshots. It doesn't look nearly as good as they said.
