silindrilist

Silindrilist is a term that appears in speculative fiction and certain theoretical discourses to describe a person, device, or concept tied to cylindrical forms or cylindrical symmetry. In fiction, a silindrilist might be a scientist who works with cylinder-shaped resonators, an engineer who designs energy systems based on hollow cylinders, or a practitioner who manipulates energy fields organized around a cylinder. The term does not refer to a single, widely recognized discipline and its meaning varies by author or project.

Etymologically, silindrilist is a neologism formed from the stem silindr- or cylinder-related roots and the agent-noun suffix -ist. Alternate spellings such as silindri- appear in some texts, reflecting transliteration or stylistic choices.

In narrative and speculative contexts, silindrilists are often characterized by an emphasis on symmetry, modular construction, and the interplay between hollow and solid cylindrical structures. They may operate in laboratories, spacefaring fleets, or ancient ruins where cylinder-based technology governs energy storage, propulsion, or shielding.

Outside of fiction, the term has no standard scientific definition and is not used in mainstream disciplines. When encountered in non-fiction, it is typically a descriptive label in worldbuilding, game lore, or speculative essays intended to evoke a particular aesthetic of geometric precision and ordered systems.
