Words as Zip Files
Every Neologism or Portmanteau is an act of Cognitive Compression. The word "Myceloom" itself is a compression of "Mycelium" (biological network) and "Loom" (technical craft). Unpacking the word reveals the entire philosophy.
Lossy vs. Lossless
Compression can be "lossless" (preserving all nuance) or "lossy" (sacrificing detail for speed). A Metaphor Trap occurs when the compression is too lossy—when "The Cloud" hides so much complexity that we forget there are physical servers involved. The goal of Myceloom's lexicon is High-Fidelity Compression.
