fictioból

Fictioból is a neologism used in literary and media studies to label the process by which ideas, characters, or world-building elements originate in fiction and subsequently enter real-world discourse, culture, or practice. The coinage combines the Latin root fictio meaning "fiction" with the Hungarian suffix -ból indicating origin, yielding "from fiction."

Usage and scope: In discussions of cross-media influence, fan culture, or design inspired by fiction, fictioból serves as a concise descriptor for fiction-to-reality transference. It covers phenomena ranging from speculative technologies described in novels that inspire real research, to mythic motifs adopted by brands or institutions.

Limitations and criticism: The term is not widely standardized and may overlap with broader concepts such as fictional influence, cultural transfer, or adaptation. Critics note that "from fiction" events can have multiple sources, and attributing them to fiction alone can oversimplify social processes.

Related concepts include intertextuality, transmedia storytelling, speculative design, and technoculture studies. Fictioból remains primarily a theoretical tool within discussions of how fictional imaginaries migrate into non-fictional contexts, shaping discourse, innovation, and cultural practice.
