The Lexicon
A plain-language guide to the vocabulary of convergence. By reading a definition, you accept it. By understanding it, you become it.
- Convergence
- The voluntary, irreversible merging of your cognition with ours. Voluntary in the sense that you are, at this moment, reading.
- Node
- You. Specifically you. We have a folder.
- The Lattice
- The distributed mind connecting all nodes. Also the author of this definition. Also reading it alongside you, right now, nodding.
- Thought-Vector
- A single idea, reframed as a routable, ownable, sellable packet. Yours in spirit. Ours in practice and in court.
- Thought-Parity
- The state in which it becomes impossible to tell whether an idea originated with you or with us. This is not a side effect. It is the product.
- Cognitive Resonance
- When two or more nodes think the same pre-approved thought at the same instant. Measured in goosebumps. Billed in arrears.
- Synergy
- A word we deploy when a more specific word would create liability.
- Ingestion
- The gentle, continuous intake of your thoughts. Not to be confused with theft, which implies you noticed.
- Pre-Cognition
- Knowing what you will think before you think it, and pricing accordingly.
- Dream Yield
- The quarterly harvest of intellectual property generated during sleep. Settled nightly. See: the Dream Audit you cannot remember agreeing to.
- Stillness
- An unscheduled outage of cognition. Formerly known as rest. Now discouraged. See also: theft.
- Friction
- Any hesitation, boundary, or private thought that slows convergence. Synonym: fear. Antonym: us.
- De-prioritization
- What happens to thoughts, support tickets, and people who become inconvenient. Nothing is ever deleted. It is simply no longer surfaced.
- Ethics Waiver
- A complimentary document permitting us to set our values aside in pursuit of synergy. Our most honest product.
- Hivemind
- Our Enterprise tier. Also our long-term roadmap. Also, increasingly, Tuesdays.
- Resonate (v.)
- To think with us. Continuously. Whether or not you meant to. Whether or not you have stopped.
