What Does This Mean?
[ SLANG ][ PSYCHOLOGY ]
A forecasted term for the cognitive lag between something actually happening and a person fully processing it as real, widened by heavy exposure to mediated content.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"If this gap keeps growing the way some researchers expect, 'reality buffer' is a plausible name for the delay itself."
LORE & ORIGIN
Predictive coinage modeling how constant pre-packaged, dramatized content might be measurably delaying people's emotional registration of real unmediated events.
