sasisë

Sasisë is a fictional social practice described in contemporary worldbuilding and speculative fiction. It denotes a recurring system of ritual exchange and social recognition that binds members of a community through memory, obligation, and mutual aid. In most portrayals, sasisë centers on an annual or cyclical gathering during which participants confer tokens, recount deeds, and reaffirm fellow‑citizenship.

Origin and meaning: In the imagined setting, sasisë derives from the constructed language of that world; the term is described as a compound of roots meaning "bond" and "remembering" (exact translations vary by dialect). The practice can be formalized in law or customary rule, but it remains adaptable to local norms and institutions.

Impact and variation: Sasisë shapes social status, obligations, and collective identity. Some communities emphasize reciprocity and social welfare, while others use sasisë to negotiate risk, resources, and leadership. Critics within the fiction may argue it perpetuates coercion or inequality, while supporters view it as cohesion. In analysis by in-world scholars, sasisë is distinguished from simple charity by its embedded obligations and memory‑binding function.
