levencyclus

Levencyclus is a neologism used to denote a recurring pattern of lift or weight change in a system, typically framed as a cycle of increasing and decreasing apparent levitation. The term is not widely recognized in established scientific literature; it tends to appear in speculative discussions, online glossaries, and science fiction contexts.

The word combines lev- from Latin for light or lift and cyclus from cyclus meaning cycle, reflecting

Contexts and definitions: In physics-inspired thought experiments, levencyclus may describe a hypothetical time-varying lifting force produced

Relationship to other concepts: Levencyclus is related to the general idea of cycles and oscillations, weight

Related terms and notes: The concept remains informal and is typically used to discuss hypothetical mechanisms
