ringde
Ringde is a term used in speculative and fictional contexts to describe a hypothetical circular device or phenomenon capable of storing, transmitting, or manipulating energy, information, or signals along a closed loop. In its broad usage, ringde can refer to a physical ring-shaped resonator, a circulating field, or a computational ring where state variables cycle around a toroidal topology.
The word ringde appears to be a portmanteau of "ring" and a suffix, and was first used
A ringde is typically described as a closed loop with properties such as phase coherence, energy containment,
The concept borrows from real technologies with similar topology, such as ring resonators and ring lasers,
In popular culture, speculative essays and game lore use ringde as a plot device or thought experiment.
