eluvormlike
Eluvormlike is a term used in speculative science and fiction to describe a hypothetical class of materials or phenomena that display high adaptability, luminescence, and memory-like behavior. In descriptions, eluvormlike systems can alter their shape, internal structure, and optical output in response to external stimuli, while retaining a record of prior states.
Coined from a root suggesting elusion or eluvium and the suffix -ormlike to indicate resemblance, the word
Typical characterizations include dynamic self-assembly, reversible phase changes, and persistent luminescence that follows stimulation history. They
In fiction, eluvormlike materials enable flexible architecture, optical data storage, camouflage, or energy transfer. In theoretical
Eluvormlike concepts overlap with metamaterials, smart materials, and phase-change or shape-memory materials, but differ in emphasis
