Erialaliitude

Erialaliitude is an obscure term with no widely accepted definition in scientific or academic literature. In practice, it appears mainly in online discussions and in some speculative fiction as a coined concept related to vertical space, perception, or the layering of information.

Etymology of erialaliitude is uncertain. The form resembles a blend of the word altitude with an element that is not independently attested in standard languages, suggesting it may be a neologism or a playful coinage used within a particular community.

Concepts attributed to erialaliitude vary. Some authors describe it as a qualitative measure of how strongly phenomena are rooted in vertical space, or as a metaphor for the depth of narrative or data layers with increasing height. Others treat it as a flexible term without a fixed definition, used to evoke the idea of verticality without prescribing units or methods of measurement.

Because there is no consensus, there is no established methodology for measuring erialaliitude, nor any official units. It is not recognized in meteorology, geography, or information theory, and its usage remains confined to niche discussions or fictional settings.

Notes and related terms: the concept is often discussed in the context of altitude and stratification as metaphor; it is a neologism rather than a standard technical term.
