Parallelisena

Parallelisena is a theoretical concept describing the arrangement and interaction of multiple parallel processes that develop within a shared referential plane called the parallelisemic field. It is used to analyze how autonomous strands can coordinate toward a common goal without centralized control, while retaining their individual properties.

Origin and usage: The term appears in discussions of parallelism in computation, cognitive science, and linguistics. While not tied to a single formal theory, parallelisena provides a common vocabulary for describing cross-domain phenomena where simultaneous processes influence one another indirectly through a maintained structure.

Core ideas: The framework identifies three core mechanisms: alignment (establishing a shared reference frame among strands), divergence (autonomous progression of strands), and convergence (periodic recombination at synchronization points). The parallelisemic field mediates interactions and helps prevent conflicts by constraining state changes through local rules.

Applications: In computer science, parallelisena informs designs of dataflow and actor-model systems where independent workers coordinate via the shared field. In cognitive science, it models how parallel streams of attention and memory interact. In linguistics, it has been used to describe parallel parsing and interpretation in real-time sentence processing.

Critique and research: Critics note that the concept is broad and lacks formal notation, making empirical testing difficult. Ongoing work seeks to formalize the parallelisemic field, quantify coupling strengths, and identify domains where its predictions diverge from established models.
