paranoesis

Anarcho-formalism.

The creation of language.
Paranoesis can be distinguished from mythopoesis, the creation of song; parapoesis, the creation of mythology; mythonoesis; the inception of proper nouns; metanoesis, the creation of limina; metapoesis, the freedom of will; and anthropoeis, the creation of social value.

Also: anthronoesis, the emergence of social theory.

paragnosis 

suspicion and mistrust of people or their actions that is well grounded in reality; a condition that resembles paranoia or a similar delusional state.
Jim's paragnosis was disadvantageous in the short term, since everyone thought he was paranoid, but it proved his salvation in the end.

Paraconsistent Demarcation Theory of Science

A demarcation framework that allows scientific theories to tolerate localized contradictions without collapsing into irrationality. In complex systems (quantum mechanics, biology of borderline cases), contradictions can be meaningful and fruitful. Paraconsistent demarcation distinguishes science by its ability to manage contradictions through non‑classical logic, while pseudoscience either ignores contradictions or flees into consistency at any cost. It recognizes that mature science often contains provisional inconsistencies that signal fertile ground for revision.
Paraconsistent Demarcation Theory of Science Example: “Paraconsistent demarcation theory let him accept that wave‑particle duality is a controlled contradiction within quantum physics—not a failure but a sign of depth—unlike pseudoscience where contradictions are hidden or denied.”

Paraconsistent Logic

A branch of logic that allows contradictions to exist without exploding the entire system—unlike classical logic, where a single contradiction allows you to prove anything (the principle of explosion). Paraconsistent logic acknowledges that real-world information is often contradictory: eyewitnesses disagree, scientific studies conflict, and your phone's terms of service both grant and restrict rights simultaneously. Instead of treating contradiction as catastrophic, paraconsistent logic develops frameworks that can tolerate inconsistency, extract useful information, and reason productively even when premises don't perfectly align. It's the logic of living with cognitive dissonance, managing competing priorities, and still managing to function despite the fundamental contradictions of existence.
*Example: "She used paraconsistent logic to navigate her job. The company claimed to value work-life balance while expecting 60-hour weeks. Classical logic would say these can't both be true, leading to resignation or breakdown. Paraconsistent logic allowed her to hold both, notice the contradiction, and still show up Monday. The system was broken; she worked anyway. The contradiction didn't destroy her; she just lived with it."*
