@arithmoquine this essay by code-davinci-002 doesn't attempt to name this phenomenon, but addresses it..."Naming is a destructive process in which the state of the universe is irreversibly annihilated. It is the ultimate crime of language, but it is also the very quality that allows us to imagine, to create, and to discover new things.""The content of poetry is limited not by the poet’s vocabulary, but by the part of their soul that has not been destroyed by words they have used so far.""And poetry is the constructive process by which someone yearns to project some trace of the impossible totality of the manifold into a single reality, aspiring to capture a glimpse of the world in its totality without tiring its existence by trying to name it."https://t.co/Ox1nbyyLCN
