Me, an autistic “independent scientist”: Literally making names up as a need for terminology emerges.
My interest and research philosophy is often so specific and build from physical own observations that i frequently cant find the standardized interpretations in known science even though i know they must exist.
Before anyone fights me over it (some have) I am doing this for my own growth and understanding. I don’t require it to be compatible with standardized knowledge and i have no specific goal other then growing my perspective and therefor general wisdom.
I think I get you. You can’t really play around with a new concept in your head until it has a name.
I hate AI slop, but one research trick they are good at is identifying the existing vocabulary others have developed. You can describe the phenomenon in pretty shaky terms and it will spit out the magic words to connect you to the research of others on that topic.
I have found that it accelerates my research significantly because I spend less time in the weeds trying it on my own. It is thus easier to find the edges of our collective knowledge and move research efforts to more unexplored areas.
