Neologism whose point-of-origin is the grad student author's website. As far as I can ascertain all in-context references to notion trace back to promotion of this term. There are as one might expect a large number of false hits for things like camouflage, but no legitimate book hits whatsoever. Mangoe (talk) 15:38, 19 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
