Tehlasnimest

Tehlasnimest is a coined term used in speculative fiction and online discourse to describe a hypothetical process or device that enables the externalization and rapid transmission of subjective experience over distance. In its most common fictional usage, tehlasnimest would capture a person’s lived sensations, thoughts, and perceptions and convert them into a transmissible data form that can be decoded by another observer, effectively sharing consciousness or experiential narratives. The concept blends ideas from teleportation, telepresence, and data encoding, often as a plot device to explore empathy, consent, and the ethics of experience-sharing.

Origin and usage: The exact origin of the term tehlasnimest is unclear; it appears in online communities and fan-created wikis as a portmanteau rather than as part of a standardized vocabulary. It has spread through discussions, essays, and speculative writing, typically without attachment to a single canonical source. There is no basis in formal scientific literature, and the term is regarded as fictional or speculative by most commentators.

In fiction and media: Tehlasnimest is used to imagine technologies that translate subjective experience into interoperable signals, sometimes requiring interfaces or consent mechanisms. Variants commonly introduce practical limits such as bandwidth, fidelity of experience reproduction, privacy safeguards, and ethical considerations about who may share or access a given experience.

Etymology: The word appears to be a creative construction, combining elements reminiscent of tele- or distant communication with endings common to invented technologic terms. There is no widely cited authoritative etymology.
