suppriment

Suppriment is a fictional or theoretical term used to describe a class of mechanisms that suppresses a specified effect within a system. The concept is used in speculative fiction, thought experiments, and some discussions of signal processing and cognitive science to explore how suppression can be achieved without altering the system's components.

Definition and scope: A suppriment can take the form of an object, agent, or process that reduces

Types: Sensory suppriments dampen perception; cognitive suppriments hinder memory formation or decision making; environmental suppriments alter

Mechanisms: They may employ masking, attention redirection, signal filtering, suppression of noise, phase interference, or selective

Implications and reception: The concept is used to probe ethical, legal, and technical questions around control
