muligist

Muligist is a term used in speculative philosophy and fiction to denote a follower or advocate of Muligism, a belief in multiplicity as a core feature of reality. The word does not have a fixed place in established academic discourse and is largely confined to niche writings and fictional contexts.

The plausible etymology combines the prefix multi- with a suffix common to ideological labels, though the exact origin remains unclear. Muligists are described as maintaining that entities, events, and meanings can exist in multiple coexisting aspects or potential states rather than a single fixed form.

There are no widely recognized institutions, journals, or formal schools dedicated to Muligism. References to the term appear mainly in speculative fiction, online discussions, and fringe philosophical essays.

Related ideas include modal pluralism, multiverse concepts, and debates about possible worlds. In narrative use, Muligists are characters or voices that acknowledge several simultaneous realities or outcomes.
