240. earth as relative to fictional world -> wasn't totally sure whether this should be an S Item or a Z Item. mostly, it is quite literally just the real world with all its real-world characteristics, only looked at from the angle of a fictional universe. it's a very literal thing. it's technically used as a motif because everything in a work is a signifier, but... everything in a work is referenced through a signifier. I think this is a Z Item.

291. 'pataphysics
292. relativistic gap -> gap between physical objects made of something bigger than quarks. when there are no fundamental interactions such as photons crossing the gap between objects, there is no serious causality going on between objects. great separation between objects in terms of how easy it is for them to interact is relativistic separation: two planets several light-years apart have a difficulty in interacting with each other measured by the fact interactions through physical signals take years. in this, there is a certain inherent connection between relativity and quantum physics. relativity talks about gaps that photons travel across. quantum mechanics talks about gaps photons travel across. this means something for gravity, but nobody knows what that statement actually will be.

408. [S2] Spacetime can be broken down into a probabilistic process / To find quantum gravity, create a probabilistic version of general relativity [4] -> a tall claim, but one I think is plausible. quantum mechanics is inherently similar to relativity thanks to things like wave functions and fundamental interactions. this all begins at a contradiction of whether and when we can assume that things happen or measure each other independent of our observations (hidden variable theories)
409. [S2] Quantum mechanics is secretly a science of ordinary stochastic processes / Quantum systems can be modeled as non-Markovian stochastic processes -> Jacob Barandes; I don't understand the mathematics but it already makes so much sense. technically a hidden-variable theory, but claimed to be much simpler and bring in a smaller area of non-classical behavior [5] [6]
410. [S] time travel
411. [S] world line / correlation shown on Penrose diagram
412. predetermined future -> this concept is so general it could apply to real-life historical theology debates, but I'm coding it as a fictional trope for science fiction reasons.

770. [S] people-gambling -> the usually non-fictional motif of sorting through a lot of people to hit the jackpot and find the right people. this motif is inherent in most "job interview advice", as well as some "relationship advice", "product marketing advice", and rants against "social media". however, it also comes up in other unexpected places, like looking through a lot of books on a particular topic to find a book which is considered good or useful for some purpose. most people consider people-gambling perfectly normal. (as much as that totally baffles me.) this is often missed in critiques of "social media" as uniquely bad — if everything in life involves gambling on groups of people like some kind of poker deck, why wouldn't it be obvious for videos or microblog posts to work that way? people-gambling + ?? = Carl Sagan's professors. people-gambling + kaiju = Pokémon. people-gambling + Difference makes you useful = Wackytown fallacy.

776. [S] social event horizon / Vegeta effect / Entei effect -> the non-fictional motif of people having a horizon around themselves which other people cannot pierce through to control, with only a few exceptions for such things as people forming a social structure that makes a decision of how to use all its people. this motif doesn't directly include those exceptions. this motif combines with other propositions to form particular historical or contemporary conceptions of "free will", but it doesn't really have to be used that way if you instead wish to study people through existential materialism.
777. [S] Free Will -> a motif I have never liked because of the fact nobody can actually define it. whenever you try to discuss Free Will the discussion becomes confusing, because what process are we even debating the existence of? worse yet, people who think they can disprove it typically try to counter it with concepts that are difficult to substantiate or falsify. even Sabine Hossenfelder, who is convinced she knows exactly what hypotheses are so up-in-the-air they aren't science, tossed out an unfalsifiable hypothesis to counter Free Will. this entry.... will be a messy one. there will be about 10+ different models associated with what is supposedly the same thing.
778. [S] freedom (top-level category) -> one of the only terms worse than free will in terms of how many definitions it has. genuinely don't use this except to list the category on category pages

789. formal logic
790. [S0] formal logic operator / logical operator / logic gate
791. [S] NOT (logical operator) / NOT (logic gate)
792. [S] IMPLY (logical operator) / material conditional / → / P → Q -> silly question: do these arrows go the text direction in RTL and vertical scripts? I'd think they would but I have no idea
793. [S] converse (logical operator) / ← / P ← Q -> not always equal to IMPLY operation
794. [S] NAND (logical operator) / NAND (logic gate) -> absolutely everything except an overlap
795. [S] XNOR (logical operator) / XNOR (logic gate) -> there was some reason I needed this in the past. I think it was for tearing apart Rothenberg's set theory chapter.
796. [S] OR (logical operator) / OR (logic gate)
797. [S] AND (logical operator) / AND (logic gate)
798. [S] XOR (logical operator) / XOR (logic gate)

800. set theory
801. set (set theory) -> collection of elements modeled by mathematical structures; mathematical structure
802. empty set (set theory) / ∅ / {} / void set / size-zero set -> my nemesis ever since Rothenberg bizarrely abused it to explain The Subject
803. non-empty set (set theory)
804. multiset (set theory) -> set that behaves like a programming language array, with non-unique members allowed
805. subset -> set contained in another set; empty set is a subset of most non-empty sets
806. union (set operation) / OR (set operation) -> combination of two sets; empty set causes no change
807. intersection (set operation) / AND (set operation) -> overlap of two sets only; use the empty set, get the empty set
808. symmetric difference (set operation) / ∆ / A ∆ B / XOR (set operation)
809. absolute complement (set operation) / NOR (set operation)
810. set theory axiom
811. set property / set characteristic / set indicator function result
812. [S2] Sets are equal if they contain the same members / axiom of extensionality (ZFC set theory)
813. [S2] No set can be a member of itself -> true in ZFC set theory, but not all set theories
814. [S2] Defining sets based on properties that cannot be true creates a set that cannot exist / There is no set of all sets that do not contain themselves / Russel's paradox / Sets must be defined following the rules of sets in order to be sets (ZFC set theory)
815. [S2] A set definition will never outrun the biggest possible set / Sets cannot be defined based on the biggest possible sets / Cantor's paradox -> this one is easy to escape if you want to number countable infinities, because mathematicians simply use other structures than sets
816. bisimulation / bisimilarity -> when two mathematical ontologies have equivalent behavior; when two mathematical objects are functionally indistinguishable regardless of whether they are the same spacetime-unique object; suitable mathematical equality test for Particle Theories / Bauplans
817. hyperset -> a set which definitionally contains itself in a bisimilarity relation
818. hyperset theory
819. ZFC set theory / Zermelo-Fraenkel Choice-axiom set theory (ZFC) -> set theory where sets are "computational" and pointers into the set cause a kind of infinite loop bug in the logic
820. non-well-formed set theory
821. anti-foundation axiom (set theory)
822. [S2] Sets are actually just directed graphs containing the same arrows (AFA) / Aczel's anti-foundation axiom (AFA)
823. [S2] Sets are actually just tree graphs that cannot be rearranged (SAFA) / Sets are trees connecting Quine atoms with no interesting automorphisms (SAFA) / Scott's anti-foundation axiom (SAFA)
824. [S2] Sets are actually just directed graphs with no exact symmetries / Finsler's anti-foundation axiom (FAFA) -> this one sounds pretty similar to the popular AFA if you don't look closely, but it's based on rotating the graph around and renumbering it
825. [S2] Sets are nothing more than baskets of tiny sets / Sets are a proper class based on collections of Quine atoms / Boffa's anti-foundation axiom (BAFA) -> some mathematicians really don't like this one but I don't know enough to say why it would be objectively bad. I'm not even sure I've found a good/correct definition of BAFA yet
826. atom (set theory) / set element that cannot have set-structured members / urelement
827. set-based atom (set theory) / Quine atom (set theory) / singleton / graph node serving as one-element set / graph node mapped to ur-element in binary relation -> Quine atom is one of the most arcane terms I've ever seen and I refuse to use it just yet
828. univocality -> mapping from one unique name or object to another unique name or object. signifier equations sometimes do this, in cases such as technical jargon
829. biunivocality -> a really fancy word for counting. no, I'm serious. a biunivocal mapping exists when one set of unique names maps onto a set of unique elements, as if counting things with natural numbers. Deleuze and Guattari once abused this concept to try to forbid counting and grouping individuals and try to turn them into a non-local beam of photon-people

872. two indistinguishable iron spheres called Castor and Pollux -> I love when mathematicians actually think of entertaining thought experiments
873. proper class (set theory) / class (set theory) -> the repeated pattern of having a given characteristic or returning a given indicator function result, which is not a set. similar to "class" or "interface" in object oriented programming
874. graph-to-set mapping / exact picture of set -> a concept that comes up quite a bit in defining non-well-founded set theories

870. graph node
871. disjoint union -> logical combination of internally unconnected graphs/sets. seems like I might have to use it to describe populations some day
872. hypergraph -> a mathematical graph that could theoretically store a 3D model composed of a bunch of triangles, or the collection of all subpopulations in a population including overlapping subpopulations

880. graph (graph theory) -> a collection of nodes and node pairs, typically visualized as a path
881. undirected graph (graph theory)
882. directed graph (graph theory) / 𝒢 (variable)
883. cyclic graph (graph theory)
884. acyclic graph (graph theory)
885. tree (graph theory) / tree graph -> acyclic graph, one path between any two nodes, every vertex a particular point in space on a map essentially
886. rooted graph (graph theory) / pointed graph / arborescence / anti-arborescence -> an arborescent graph points away from the root. also: according to Deleuze and Guattari it's basically the devil. you didn't know there was a Good and Evil to graph theory did you, but now you know
887. star graph (graph theory) -> graph with everything connected to a central node. how I often visualize what non-well-founded sets are supposed to be, you just put the empty set in the center

890. [S2] Gödel's incompleteness theorem / Gödel gap (barrier beyond which an individual entity cannot reason without interacting with another object)
