increesen

Increesen is a neologism used primarily in speculative contexts to describe a phenomenon in which growth accelerates after a triggering event, producing superlinear expansion over time. It is not a standard term in mathematics, economics, or epidemiology, and there is no universally accepted definition.

The term appears to derive from crescere, the Latin verb for "to grow," with the prefix in- and an English -een suffix chosen to give a technical flavor. It is commonly introduced as a descriptive label rather than a precise model.

In discussions where increesen is invoked, it refers to systems with positive feedback that raise the growth rate as the state grows. Some sketches use nonlinear differential terms, such as x^p with p>1, to illustrate acceleration, but these are illustrative, not canonical.

Contexts include speculative economics, network theory, and technology diffusion, where increesen signals acceleration that outpaces simple exponential growth. It is important not to conflate the concept with established ideas of exponential or hyperbolic growth.

Because there is no standardized definition, the term can be ambiguous and is largely dependent on the source. In formal literature, clearer, model-specific language is typically preferred.

As a niche or fictional term, increesen appears mainly in non-peer discussions and narrative contexts, and readers should consult the originating work for the intended meaning.
