Antarvis !!top!! < Original >
Perhaps Antarvis is not a real word—yet. But the act of naming is an act of discovery. Every generation invents language for what was previously inexpressible. The Romantics gave us “sublime” for overwhelming natural beauty. The Victorians gave us “nostalgia” as a medical condition. The digital age may very well give us : the name for the shiver in the gap.
(Based on the suffix "-vis" common for visualization tools)
Therapists have no clinical term for this yet. But artists and poets have started to use Antarvis in their work to describe the feeling of being hyper-connected yet utterly alone —a loneliness that doesn’t ache, but hums.
