Cognitive Entrapment (n.)
The mental state in which a person becomes overly committed to a particular perspective or ideological framework, such as the "red pill, blue pill" rhetoric, thereby reducing their ability to perceive or consider the complexity of an issue at hand.
Synonyms: Ideological lock-in, belief perseverance, intellectual tunnel vision.
Antonyms: Intellectual agility, cognitive flexibility, open-mindedness.
The "red pill, blue pill" analogy risked leading to cognitive entrapment, simplifying nuanced debates into a binary choice and obstructing meaningful dialogue.

Cognitive Numerolinguistics: This name combines "cognitive," emphasizing the involvement of cognitive processes and language understanding, with "numerolinguistics," highlighting the integration of numerical and linguistic representations. It reflects the interdisciplinary nature of this branch, bridging mathematics, linguistics, and cognitive science.
Cognitive Numerolinguistics explores the intricate relationship between numbers, symbols, and words, enabling formulas like π + x = 'circle's circumference' + 'radius' to be understood both mathematically and linguistically."
"Researchers in Cognitive Numerolinguistics aim to develop algorithms that facilitate the direct translation of mathematical expressions into linguistic representations, as exemplified by the formula sin(45°) = 'half of square root of 2'."
"The interdisciplinary field of Cognitive Numerolinguistics investigates how word-symbolic representations can be integrated into formulas, such as n^2 + 'square' = 100, allowing for a seamless fusion of symbolic, numerical, and linguistic elements."
An example of somebody displaying cognitively dissonant behaviour would be a situation where the persons views, values, beliefs etc are contradicted or opposed by one or other persons causing them mental (psychological) stress. At this point a state of cognition is triggered effectively causing them to refute, reject &/or miss-perceive the contradictory views, values or beliefs.
It is also used by assholes on the internet who try to sound smarter then they really are, without actually knowing what it means.
