Hviezdbased

Hviezdbased is a coined term used to describe systems, concepts, or datasets that are organized around stars as reference points or resources. The term combines Slovak hviezda meaning star with the English word based, and is used in both Slovak-speaking contexts and in international speculative discourse to refer to star-centered architectures.

Interpretations of hviezdbased vary. In astronomy and navigation, it may denote schemes that rely on star catalogs, celestial coordinates, and astrometric data as the backbone for positional reference, routing, and mapping. In science fiction and futurist thought, hviezdbased architectures describe networks, energy systems, or colonies that are anchored to stellar phenomena, such as solar energy harvesting from nearby stars or star-based communication relays.

Practically, discussions around hviezdbased emphasize data integration, standards for catalog interoperability (for example, cross-matching star catalogs), and the design of resilient navigation or communication protocols that remain robust to space environment conditions.

History and usage: the term hviezdbased is relatively new and remains mostly informal, appearing in essays, speculative design notes, and some science fiction literature. It has no official universal definition and is not tied to a single organization or field.
