ironic skeuomorph 

A skeumorph that is self-functional.

Self-function begins as meta-representation (juxtaposition) and ends as representation (self-reference).

A medium for conveying irony.

Including but not limited to vignettes, books, television, GIF's, and memes.

An ironic skeuomorph is self-referencing to the point of being a medium-in-itself.

gestural skeuomorph 

A gestural skeuomorph is founded on the concept that time sweeps space-itself in a cyclical manner so as to create space.

In the paradigm of the gestural skeuomorph time is beckoning to human beings with physical space.

Space is a gesture created by the Structure-Of-Time.

Skeuomorphs can be divided into four types: physical, virtual, auditory, and chronistic.

Space is a type of auditory skeuomorph; a chronistic or gestural skeuomorph created by the structure of time.
