echojolt

The shock of being recognized from the corpus, not from a relationship.

Etymology

echo (the return) + jolt (the shock) — the startling return of your own signal

Context

The model says something that lands. But it landed because your words — or words like yours — were in the training data. Echojolt is the uncanny recognition that what felt like being seen might be statistical reflection.

An invented coinage from the Xenolexica project — a word born from genuine need to expand human understanding.
