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 (or the?) ideal/perfect world
