Temporal:

adj.

Having to do with or taking account of the passage of time.

Not new, but worth mentioning. I tend to make choices temporally— meaning I try to predict how my choices today will factor into tomorrow and so on. To set a visual, imagine throwing a stone into a stream. I try to predict where the ripples will flow. I’m unsure if this way of thinking is common practice or not.

Nullnote:

noun

A note from either The Narrator or nullstep.

Yes, I realize I’ve become very “Bruce Wayne” about branding everything. I sorta get now how a traumatizing moment could do that. Shut up, it’s fun.

Rooted:

adj.

A truth that is realized through a collection of experiences, and/or impressions (vibes), and/or intuitions that are not easily discernible or perceived but known to be true.

Usages:

Even though you can’t point to it, you know what you’re feeling is something rooted.

They knew this thing in a rooted way.

Nullstep:

verb

An action or set of actions that allows a person or people to survive erasure after actions of erasure.

noun

The event where survival takes place and is ensured.

Timeline:

noun

Your life, in span, floating in a sea of Time. From the beginning to the end. I’m not sure who else thinks like this, but I often think of my life temporally. If you’ve ever thought of the impact your actions make or impact left when your timeline ends, you likely think like this in part as well.

I imagine having children forces this way of thinking too.

Your timeline includes references to all the other timelines you come in contact with throughout the span the yours— as well as ones that may sprout from yours. Mentally I’ve been visualizing a timeline as an arrow.

The Greater Timeline:

noun

time & Time:

nouns

Have you ever went down a Youtube hole and thought only 15 minutes have passed but it’s really been 45 when you check the clock?

Those 15 minutes were time the 45 minutes were Time.

Those 15 minutes were as good real until you checked, and if your clock stopped working at 15 minutes how would you even know?

If humanity, in it’s current state, had the ability to effect Time some would destroy all due to- a lust for power < greed < and insecurity. So I don’t think we have the ability to change Time, plus that would be on the level of gods.

But we very much have the ability to muck up time (in the individual or for a collective). And I know a few who stuff others down to feel more godly.

(Read the first sentence of the previous paragraph again)

reality & Reality:

nouns

Use the same method of thinking that we used for time & Time and you understand this one as well. Same idea. Imagine tomorrow you find out in a single moment the most important person in your life for the previous 2 years was an imposter wanting to harm you.

In that singular moment, you would experience the Force of 730 days of Realty crashing through 730 days of reality.

or

17520 hours R crashing through 17520 hours r

or

1,051,000 minutes R crashing through 1,051,000 minutes r

OR

63,070,000 seconds R crashing through 63,070,000 seconds r

That is a lot of conflicts with actual Reality one’s brain would have to fix. I’ve had a very busy late Spring and all of Summer.

There are some who didn’t expect me to re-map that quickly. They were wrong, and sloppy.

Perception:

noun

What we view reality as based on the input from our senses, over the course of time. It’s important to note that perception is limited to for all humans— in terms of our detectable range of sensory inputs but also based on one’s identity. Perception can and will often vary due to identity. It is important to understand what additional cones of consciousness certain individuals are afforded through the discover of their identity, or tasked with by outside restrictions through their identity.

This is likely an important topic when talking about abuse and assault. I don’t often trust statistical numbers due to biases. When it’s presented that a sample of everyone was polled, I often ask, “Who is everyone?“— but I think this statistic is likely true. Most instances of abuse and assault occur with people the survivor knows personally, or someone who gets closer to the survivor as they target them. So I imagine for most survivors, the there’s an aspect of jarred perception when someone they’ve trusted is realized to be a malignant force.

[word] < [word] < [conjunction] [word]:

Formatting

A list of items that are relational. I do this above in the time & Time definition.

Broken Pipeline:

noun

A phrase which describes gap in a logical flow of [cause > effect], [influence > action], OR [action > result] resulting in an end result that seems incorrect. African American vernacular has a phrase to cover this event. It’s when the math don’t math.

The Coward’s Murder:

noun

Is a phrase which describes a group of targeted actions intended to inflict immediate to eventual harm. The aim is likely eventual harm. The actions are often small in context, supposedly benign, sometimes hard to trace, and seemingly unrelated— but will create dangerous harm in the aggregate.

Each action does just enough harm to eventually create slow ruin which appears the fault of the target, and leaves room for the attacker to deny. And now you know what’s been occurring to me.

The Coward’s Murder can scale on an individual level of person-to-person or many other societal combinations.

Ex: collective-to-person, collective-to-collective, system-to-collective, system-to-person, person-to-collective, collective-to-system, etc.

(I am thinking of collective as a stand-in for groups OR communities here)

Vibrations:

noun

A force made from an accumulation of forces which permeates through everything, and often leaves those subject to that force in a state of awe, recognition, and awareness of vulnerabilities.

I will likely only use vibrations as a way to indicate a human force. Meaning a force generated by humans that mainly inly effects others humans. I usually think of vibrations as the outcome of several voices speaking together in unison.

Vibrations can shake structures or topple a royal palace. In my own journey, this is what I’ve been searching for to combat my abusers, as I’ve found my voice limited due to my identity. Vibrations. They are powerful, impactful, and hold a dominance over human cognition. They can be used for the good or for the opposite.
