rétegeirl

Rétegeirl is a neologism encountered in speculative theory and fiction to describe phenomena that are layered or stratified across multiple dimensions. The term appears to fuse a root related to layers with a suffix that signals systemic or collective character. There is no single, authoritative definition, and usage varies by discipline.

In linguistics and constructed languages, rétegeirl is sometimes invoked to describe methods of encoding multiple layers of meaning within a single utterance, by combining morphemes and syntax to reflect intersecting viewpoints or discourse levels.

In urban studies and political theory, it is used to characterize multi-layered governance or space, where authority and function are distributed across overlapping municipal, regional, and transregional layers.

In speculative fiction, rétegeirl commonly denotes societies or cities organized around stacked districts, or political systems that operate simultaneously at several jurisdictional planes.

Because the term is not standardized, proponents treat it as a conceptual lens rather than a fixed category, and critics warn that its vagueness can obscure concrete mechanisms of layering. See also layering, stratification, polyphony, and multi-layer networks.
