Metacosmology

As fantasy-prone folks who spend big portions of our days online, reading, or otherwise exploring alternate worlds, it's often useful to have terms we can use to talk about the different contexts we might find ourselves in. We've taken to defining different sorts of 'cosms', using the concept of paracosms as a starting point.

Orthocosm

Day-to-day life, in the sense of consensus reality and quotidian primate bullshit.

Paracosm

Broadly, any non-orthrocosmic world.

Exocosm

Physical reality, in the sense of 'that which does not go away even if you'd prefer it did'

Endocosm

A personal private world

Syncosm

An interpersonal shared world

Eucosm

An ideal/perfect world. There is almost certainly more than just one.
