mint_phalanxReanna coined a term: idiogenic. It was inspired by the word, "idiopathic."
From our Twitter thread:
The word describes no known system origin. It's used by systems who don't know their origins and want to explore.
Unlike "quoigenic" and "cryptogenic," "idiogenic" isn't used by systems who don't want to share their origins.
Reanna hopes to give systems unsure about and exploring their origins a better starting label than endogenic, therefore helping dispel the myth that all endogenics are traumagenics but don't know it.
