Seadustesse

Seadustesse is a coinage used in speculative fiction and phenomenological discourse to denote the qualitative texture of the coastal atmosphere produced by the interaction of sea spray, mineral dust, and organic aerosols. It is not a defined physical property in science, but a label for a perceptual phenomenon that readers and characters may describe as distinctive light, sound, and tactile sensation near the shore.

Etymology and form reflect a fusion of sea, dust, and the suffix -esse, signaling a quality or essence rather than a measurable substance.

In narrative uses, seadustesse often appears as a shimmering halo along the shoreline, a salt-bright brightness in sun and fog, and a felt memory of spray on skin. It is frequently tied to mood, memory, and coastal history, embodying the intimate link between environment and perception.

Scholarly and creative discussions treat seadustesse as a metaphor for complex coastal systems, where biological, chemical, and meteorological processes interact and are perceived through sensory experience. It encourages attention to how small particles influence climate, ecosystem dynamics, and cultural meaning.

Because seadustesse is not an established scientific term, its usage is variable and grounded in fiction or philosophy. It should be taken as a descriptive concept rather than an empirical measurement.
