Framework 

A software development tool where all the hard work has been done for you
I'm so glad I can use this framework instead of recreating all the basic stuff every time I start a project.

Framework Laptop

Imagine you have a big box of Lego bricks. Each brick is like a part of a computer. Now, the Framework laptop is like a special Lego set where you can easily take apart and change each piece. So, if you want to make your computer faster, you can swap out a slow Lego brick for a faster one. And if you need more space to store your games or pictures, you can add more storage bricks. It's like building your own special computer using Lego pieces that you can change whenever you want!
I love building Framework laptops using Lego Bricks!

Framework Bias

A more subtle form of bias where the very structure or "rules of the game" for a debate or investigation are set up to favor a predetermined outcome. It’s not about the evidence itself, but the container you’re forced to put it in. By defining what counts as "valid proof" or "acceptable methodology," you can exclude any evidence that threatens your position before the discussion even begins. It’s rigging the game by controlling the rulebook.
Example: "The debate on economic policy suffered from Framework Bias because they defined 'success' only as GDP growth, completely ignoring environmental or social well-being."

Framework Demarcation Theory of Science

A view that demarcation is always relative to a chosen conceptual framework or paradigm. There is no framework‑independent way to separate science from non‑science. Each framework (logical empiricism, structuralism, hermeneutics) provides its own demarcation criteria. Science is not a natural kind but a family of practices recognized within a framework. Disputes about demarcation are often disputes about which framework should be privileged. This theory is influenced by Kuhn’s paradigms and Feyerabend’s methodological anarchism.
Framework Demarcation Theory of Science Example: “Framework demarcation theory explained why a humanistic psychologist and a behaviorist disagreed on whether talk therapy was scientific—they operated under different frameworks with different rules.”

Logging Framework

Toilet.

A definition relating an abstraction in which common code providing generic functionality can be selectively overridden or specialised by user code providing specific functionality, and dropping one in the bog.

Narrative Framework Syndrome 

A psychological condition where someone compulsively interprets their life through the lens of literary tropes and storytelling conventions, combined with an obsessive need to fill any gaps in their understanding with elaborate theories that fit these narrative patterns. Common symptoms include categorizing people as character archetypes, expecting plot twists, and creating complex explanations for simple events to avoid "plot holes" in their personal story.
1. "Dude, my roommate has such bad Narrative Framework Syndrome. When our neighbor got a new cat, he spent three hours explaining how it must be a magical familiar sent to watch us because 'that's how these story arcs usually start.'"

2. "My sister's NFS is acting up again. She's convinced her new coworker must be a secret heir to a fortune because 'why else would such an important character be introduced this late in the season?'"
