cisconventionality

(n.




citationization

(n.) - REFUNCTION

The association of any stated norms with the needs they are expected to serve. A less formal (i.e., accessible anankelogical) term for this is law-fit.

(v.) The action of associating stated norms with the needs they are expected to serve.


civic legalism

(n.) - DEFUNCTION

The less formal name for the defunction of nomoscentricity, which prioritizes obedience to laws or to social norms over serving the needs for which they exist. Answered by the refunction of law-fit (among other refunctions).


coerced poor options dependence

(n.) [Or CoPOD] - DEFUNCTION

Acclimating to less-than-optimal resources (i.e., alternate or substitute resource) to address needs to the point of rarely if ever considering the accessibility of optimal resources (primary resources). 


For example, relying solely on social media "friends" to the point of not seeking deeper friendships. Or a diet of processed foods that insufficiently provides enough energy to cook better meals. Or settling into a meaningless job with adequate pay, then never pursuing one's full productive and economic potential.


This plays a significant role in symfunction capture as a common gateway into dysfunction, to pain and persisting problems.


conflict orientation

(n.) The formed habit during a conflict of either staying open and learning or staying closed and defensive. The more you remain open and learn about each side's affected needs, the more likely you can resolve that conflict. The more you stay closed and defensive to avoid discomfort, the less aware you tend to be about each side's affected needs, which tends to keep the conflict going.


conflict porn

(n.) - DEFUNCTION

A defunction of contending with others less with the aim to solve problems or resolve needs and more with the intent to indulge in the pleasure of winning over others and being viewed as right or to push others away in reasoned sounding ways. Features in oppo culture. See indulgent side-taking.


critical version

(n.) - REFUNCTION

Original theory or philosophy of something widely accepted, developed with academic discipline that is generally more descriptive than normative, and remains open to academic peer review and constructive correction. Opposite of popgen version.


cyclic correlation

(n.) Empirical association between identifiable variables that indicates one set of changes affecting other sets of changes, which in turn affects the originally identified set of associated variables. When A changes along with B, we observe B changing with C, which we can observe changing with other pairs of associated variables, coming back around to observe a change in A. This points to what anankelogy appreciates as a reflexive correlation, in contrast to the simpler linear associations widely identified in the social sciences outside of nature-based paradigm.


For example, consider this 4-part cycle of discomfort avoidance. See image here.

  1. The more you hate pain, the more you try to avoid pain.

  2. The more you avoid pain, the less your pain-reported needs can resolve.

  3. The more your needs remain unresolved, the more pain you suffer.

  4. The more pain you passively suffer, the more you hate this pain.


Now consider this 4-part cycle of discomfort embrace. See image here.

  1. The more you endure the natural discomfort of your unresolved needs, the more attentive you can be to more fully resolve your needs.

  2. The more you fully resolve your needs, the more you remove cause for your pain.

  3. The more you fully resolve your needs, the more you remove cause for your pain.

  4. The more you remove pain by resolving needs, the more you can respect and embrace pain to report your unresolved needs.

The nature-based paradigm of academic anankelogy anticipates these cyclic associations.
