Torzításállnak

Torzításállnak is a neologism used in Hungarian-language discussions of distortion phenomena in information systems. It denotes a class of persistent distortions in outputs that remain due to structural features of a system rather than transient noise. The term combines torzítás (distortion) with állnak (they stand), signaling that the distortion is anchored in the processing chain.

The concept is applied across fields such as signal processing, data visualization, imaging, and algorithmic systems. It describes situations where correcting inputs or adjusting external conditions does not remove the distortion, because the problem arises from design choices, nonlinearity, or interaction effects within the system. Examples include nonlinear response curves in sensors, clipping and quantization in data paths, bias introduced by training data in machine learning, or compression and artifact formation in digital media.

Causes of torzításállnak typically include hardware limitations, calibration errors, intentional or inadvertent bias in algorithms, and the cumulative effect of multiple processing stages that interact in non-additive ways. The phenomenon can complicate interpretation of measurements, degrade fidelity in representations, and hinder calibration and validation efforts.

Measurement and mitigation practices focus on identifying persistent distortions and tracing their origins. Methods may involve linearization of responses, improved calibration protocols, redesign of processing pipelines to reduce nonlinearity and bias, robust statistics, and data augmentation or reweighting in training data to counteract systematic effects.
