Tangiblethough

Tangiblethough is a conceptual term that describes the experience of perceiving or understanding something that is not physically present but feels real or significant nonetheless. It is a portmanteau of "tangible" and "though," suggesting a connection to the concrete and the abstract. This concept often arises in contexts of memory, imagination, emotion, or in the appreciation of art and ideas.

For instance, a deeply cherished memory, though no longer a physical event, can evoke strong feelings and a sense of presence, making it tangible in a subjective sense. Similarly, a powerful idea or belief, while lacking physical form, can profoundly influence a person's actions and worldview, thus possessing a tangible quality in its impact. The feeling of connection to a loved one who is far away, or the vividness of a dream upon waking, can also be considered examples of tangiblethough.

The term highlights the human capacity to imbue abstract concepts or absent presences with a degree of reality that influences our perceptions and behaviors. It speaks to the richness of our inner lives and the ways in which intangible elements can shape our experience of the world. It is not a formally recognized psychological or philosophical term but rather a descriptive phrase used to articulate a common human experience.
