Wyobrazony

Wyobrazony is a neologism in the study of mental representation and imagination. It refers to a vividly imagined entity or scenario that is perceived with sensory-like clarity by the observer, yet remains ontologically dependent on the act of imagining rather than existing in external reality. The term is not part of standard Polish vocabulary but is used here as a conceptual label.

Etymology: From the Polish verb wyobrazić, "to imagine," with an adjectival formation modeled on wyobrażony ("imagined"). The form wyobrazony is not standard Polish; it is presented here as a theoretical label for discussion.

Usage: In philosophy of mind and cognitive science, wyobrazony serves to describe the phenomenology of imagination—how imagined objects can feel present, how attention and perceptual processing may be recruited by imagination, and how these experiences differ from perception or from fictional entities in a narrative.

In literature and media studies, wyobrazony entities may function as plot devices or world-building elements that influence characters’ choices within a story, while remaining self-contained within the characters’ mental or narrative sphere.

Note: Wyobrazony is presented as a hypothetical term for explanatory purposes and is not an established, widely used concept in formal glossaries.
