Tabsireistance

Tabsireistance is a fictional concept that appears in certain speculative fiction narratives. It refers to a hypothetical inherent quality or characteristic possessed by an individual or object that renders them immune or highly resistant to the influence of "tabs," a term often used in these stories to denote mind-altering substances, manipulative technologies, or psionic control. The specific nature of tabsireistance varies greatly depending on the fictional universe in which it is presented. In some instances, it may be a biological anomaly, a result of genetic engineering, or a spiritual or mental discipline cultivated by the individual.

The narrative purpose of tabsireistance is typically to create characters who can resist pervasive forms of control or corruption, thereby acting as protagonists or significant supporting figures who are not easily manipulated. This resistance can be crucial for plot development, allowing characters to maintain their agency and pursue their goals in environments where others succumb to external pressures. The exact mechanism and limitations of tabsireistance are usually established by the author to serve the specific demands of the story, contributing to the world-building and thematic exploration of free will versus control.
