framinga

Framinga is a term used in some theoretical and fictional contexts to denote a structured system of frames—narrative, visual, or spatial—that shape how a subject is perceived. It is not widely recognized as a formal concept in major dictionaries or standard scholarly usage.

Origins and etymology are unclear; framinga appears to be a coined term formed from the English frame with a nominal suffix, and is used variably across disciplines.

In narrative studies, framinga describes an overarching frame that connects disparate scenes or episodes, guiding interpretation and emphasizing certain themes.

In media studies and design, it can refer to the deliberate arrangement of sightlines, compositions, and interfaces so that user attention is directed toward particular elements.

In fiction, authors use framinga as a worldbuilding device to define a culture's approach to perception and reality; it may function as a meta-frame for the work's plot.

Because the term is not standardized, its precise meaning varies by author or field. When encountered, framinga should be understood from the context in which it is used.
