interobjectivity 

A state in which the object is a subset of the meta-object.

For instance consciousness as a subset of self-consciousness.

Interobjectivity stipulates that having (being) is unidirectional. That is to say: the meta-object is the object but the object is NOT the meta-object.
Interobjectivity resolves the impasse (intersubjectivity) between modernism and postmodernism.

It is metonymous with interactivity or memetics (skeumorphism).

Self-referentializes (collinearizes) being and having.

Scientific Intersubjectivism

The position that scientific objectivity is achieved not by escaping subjectivity (impossible) but by coordinating multiple subjectivities through shared methods, critical dialogue, and community validation. A finding is "objective" not because it comes from no perspective, but because it survives scrutiny from many perspectives. Different labs, different methods, different researchers—if they converge, you have intersubjective agreement, which is the closest science gets to truth. Intersubjectivism replaces the impossible ideal of the view from nowhere with the achievable reality of the view from everywhere, checked by everyone.
"You think your personal experience is objective truth? Scientific Intersubjectivism says: bring it to the community, let others test it, let critics shred it. If it survives, it's not because you're special—it's because your claim works for all of us. That's how science actually works."

Epistemological Intersubjectivism

The position that knowledge achieves objectivity not through escaping subjectivity (impossible) but through the coordination of multiple subjectivities. A claim is "objective" not because it comes from nowhere, but because it survives scrutiny from everywhere. Different knowers, different methods, different perspectives—if they converge, you have intersubjective agreement, which is the closest we get to knowledge. Intersubjectivism replaces the impossible ideal of the view from nowhere with the achievable reality of the view from everywhere, checked by everyone.
"You think your personal intuition is knowledge? Epistemological Intersubjectivism says: check it with others. If multiple people with different biases and perspectives all converge, you have something. If only you see it, you have a hallucination. Knowledge is what survives the community, not what survives your ego."

murderhobo 

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.

The term is most common with Dungeons and Dragons, but it can be applied to most RPGs where the player is allowed to kill most quest-giving NPCs and NPC traders. E.g. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Divinity original sin.
