latenzarme

Latenzarme is a fictional or hypothetical term used in speculative physics and science fiction to describe a class of latent excitations or carriers that can mediate information or correlations without conventional energy transfer. The word evokes latency and motion, and in many uses it denotes quasi-particles or collective modes that remain dormant until a specific perturbation activates them.

In theoretical discussions, latenzarme are described as having extremely long lifetimes, very weak coupling to ordinary matter, and the ability to influence distant regions of a system through a nonlocal channel. They are treated as idealized constructs rather than proven physical entities, serving to explore questions about locality, information transfer, and causality.

In fiction, latenzarme are often invoked as a mechanism for faster-than-light communication, delayed signaling, or hidden networks. They provide a narrative device to explain phenomena that appear to bypass conventional transport or to enable covert connections across space.

Because latenzarme are not established in mainstream physics, they appear mainly in speculative writing and thought experiments rather than in experimental or widely accepted theoretical frameworks. They are used to illustrate conceptual boundaries around locality, signal propagation, and the limits of information transfer.

Related ideas that commonly accompany discussions of latenzarme include nonlocality, quasiparticles, information theory, and causality.
