C3konvertasien

C3konvertasien is a fictional sociocultural concept used in speculative fiction and online community lore to describe a proposed mechanism by which individuals undergo cultural or linguistic conversion in a digital age. The term combines the stylized alphanumeric prefix C3 with konvertasi, a root found in several languages meaning conversion, and the agentive suffix -ien, yielding a noun for practitioners or phenomena of conversion.

Origin and usage: The concept first appears in fan-fiction circles and game modding communities around the early 2020s as a thought experiment about identity fluidity in online spaces. It is not a scholarly term and has no formal definition in anthropology or linguistics.

Core ideas: In typical interpretations, C3konvertasien refers to a three-stage process: capture (initial exposure to a cultural code via digital media), conversion (internal alignment of beliefs and values), and embodiment (external enactment in behavior and social practice). Supporters discuss how digital networks accelerate cross-cultural contact, while critics caution about oversimplification.

Variants and related concepts: Some writers describe C3konvertasien as a framing device for character development in role-playing games, or a meme about rapid cultural change online. Related topics include cultural transmission, digital identity, and linguistic adaptation.

Notes: The term is not widely used in academic literature.
