scenene

Scenene is a term used in speculative discourse and some design theory to denote the qualitative, subjective experience of perceiving or imagining a visual scene. The coinage combines the word scene with a suffix that marks a state or property, signaling something like the internal character of how a scene is represented rather than the external input alone. In practice, scenene refers to how a scene is constructed in the mind, including spatial layout, lighting, color palette, motion cues, and atmospheric tone, whether the scene is actually seen or internally imagined.

Origin and usage of the term are informal. Scenene appears in online discussions, experimental design notes, and some contemporary media studies as a provisional concept to address the gap between external stimuli and internal representation. It has not achieved formal status in mainstream cognitive science, and its definition can vary among authors and disciplines.

Characteristics of scenene include its subjectivity and dynamism. It can differ across observers and change with context, memory, intention, and cultural background. Scenene can be influenced by prior experiences, expectations, and goals, shaping how a given scene is mentally rehearsed or anticipated.

Applications of the concept lie in art, cinema, game design, and virtual reality, where discussions of scenene help describe how audiences mentally construct scenes and how designers might evoke specific responses. While researchers may seek indirect measures through self-report or physiological proxies, there is no standardized instrument for measuring scenene at present.
