NEO-0007 | Void Hum | Leerensummen | Susurrus Vacui | Summen der Leere | The quiet hum of knowing you experience something real that has no name yet. | Das leise Summen des Wissens dass du etwas Reales erlebst das noch keinen Namen hat. | A persistent low-grade cognitive-affective state characterized by the pre-linguistic awareness of an experientially familiar but unnamed phenomenon. Characterized by (a) a diffuse sense of recognition without an available linguistic referent, (b) recurrent attentional orientation toward the unnamed experience without the ability to articulate or share it, and (c) a motivational tension driving implicit search for adequate terminology. | Reception and Cognitive Correlates | [

NEO-0002 | Label Flash | Begriffsblitz | Fulgor Designationis | Designatorischer Fulgor | That split-second strobe when a new word hits your eyes before meaning catches up. | Der Sekundenbruchteil-Impakt wenn ein neues Wort die Aufmerksamkeit fängt bevor seine Bedeutung verarbeitet wird. | A pre-semantic perceptual response occurring in the initial milliseconds of exposure to a novel term, prior to lexical access and meaning construction. Characterized by (a) sub-semantic processing of the term as visual or auditory gestalt before meaning is accessed, (b) attentional capture triggered by novel orthographic or phonological patterns, and (c) evaluative priming carrying implicit valence based on the term's surface properties. | Reception and Cognitive Correlates | [

NEO-0001 | Name Click | Namens-Klick | Agnitio Nominalis | Nominale Agnition | The instant YES when you hear a word for something you always felt but could never name. | Das sofortige Erkennen wenn man ein Wort hört für eine Erfahrung die man immer hatte aber nie benennen konnte. | A cognitive-affective recognition response observed when a recipient first encounters a term that designates a previously unnamed but experientially familiar phenomenon. Characterized by (a) immediate subjective recognition of the referent, (b) positive affect associated with the transition from unnamed to named experience, and (c) a qualitative shift in perceptual salience of the named phenomenon. | Reception and Cognitive Correlates | [

NEO-0003 | Clarity Cascade | Klarheitskaskade | Cascada Lucis | Kaskade der Klarheit | The waterfall of sudden understanding that pours through you once a single word unlocks an entire pattern. | Der Wasserfall plötzlichen Verstehens der durch dich hindurchströmt wenn ein einziges Wort ein ganzes Muster aufschließt. | A post-nominal cognitive reorganization event in which the acquisition of a single term triggers rapid, multi-domain restructuring of previously unconnected experiential data. Characterized by (a) retroactive coherence — previously disconnected memories and observations become retroactively intelligible as instances of the newly named phenomenon, (b) pattern amplification — the named phenomenon becomes perceptually salient across multiple life domains simultaneously, (c) communicative unlocking — experiences that were previously inarticulable become shareable, and (d) cascading connectivity — the insight propagates beyond the original domain into adjacent conceptual territories. | Reception and Cognitive Correlates | [

Characterized by (a) validation relief — the discovery that others share the named experience produces measurable positive affect, (b) terminological adoption cascade — the term transitions from passive recognition to active usage, (c) community crystallization — shared vocabulary creates in-group markers facilitating community formation, and (d) semantic territory claiming — the term occupies a previously vacant conceptual niche in the collective vocabulary. | Social Diffusion and Network Phenomena | [

Neomanitai Compendium
A systematic taxonomy of cognitive, affective, and perceptual phenomena observed during human reception of novel terminology.
Part of the MANITAI research ecosystem by Andreas Ehstand (ORCID: 0009-0006-3773-7796). Related: AUGMANITAI framework for human-AI interaction phenomena.
Dataset Description
Each entry defines a terminology reception phenomenon with:
- Multilingual names (English viral, Latin academic, German viral, German academic)
- ISO 704-compliant formal definition
- Short accessible definition
- Cross-references to related phenomena
Definitions follow ISO 704 (Terminology work — Principles and methods), ISO 1087 (Terminology work — Vocabulary), and ISO 30042 (TBX) standards.
