https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crowding
Crowding (or visual crowding) is a perceptual phenomenon where the recognition of objects presented away from the fovea is impaired by the presence of other neighbouring objects (sometimes called "flankers"). It has been suggested that crowding occurs due to mandatory integration of the crowded objects by a texture-pro...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network%20cloaking
Network cloaking is an attempt to provide wireless security by hiding the network name (service set identifier) from being broadcast publicly. Many routers come with this option as a standard feature in the setup menu accessed via a web browser. Network cloaking may stop inexperienced users from gaining access to a ...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptic%20self%20epitopes
In immunology, cryptic self epitopes are a source of autoimmunity. Self epitopes, which are found in high concentration on the surface of antigen-presenting cells (APCs) in association with its major histocompatibility complex (MHC) are known as dominant epitopes. These are stimulants of negative selection mechanisms ...
