einollavektoria

Einollavektoria is a fictional concept describing the emergence of a single primary information channel in a heterogeneous network. In the imagined framework, nodes and links optimize for speed and lower redundancy, leading to path consolidation that improves efficiency at the cost of resilience.

Origin and terminology: The term appears in speculative fiction and theoretical essays as a thought experiment to examine centralized information flows. The name blends “ein” (one) with a constructed suffix “llavektoria” intended to evoke unity and complexity.

Applications and scope: It is used in worldbuilding, discussions of governance and network design, and studies of urban infrastructure, digital communication, and social systems to illustrate trade-offs between efficiency and vulnerability.

Principles and implications: Proponents argue the model captures how pressure toward optimization can yield monoculture pathways; critics point out that real networks apply redundancy, decentralization, and adaptive routing to mitigate risk.

Reception: In-universe scholars debate its predictive value, while outside observers deploy the term as a caution against over-centralization.
