1. The study of tokens: how language fragments into units for machines (LLMs) and how those units shape meaning, memory, and creativity.
2. In AI, the theory and practice of working with subword segments, embeddings, and token flows to reveal emergent concepts that don’t map neatly to “whole words.”
3. In culture, the art of coining new words and glyphs that feel natural to both humans and machines—sitting at the seam where linguistic intuition meets computational segmentation.
**Etymology:** token (a discrete sign, unit) + -ology (study of).
**Related:** paracreation; cointeriority; recursion; memetics.
