IAQ LEXICON
This Is Not A Dictionary.
The IAQ Lexicon is a living map of ideas discovered inside questions.
Every IAQ article can introduce a new concept, reveal a hidden mechanism, or give a name to a pattern that did not have one before. When an idea becomes strong enough, it may enter the Lexicon.
But not every candidate appears here. There are far more Lexicon candidates living inside IAQ articles than the concepts currently published on this page. The Lexicon grows selectively, as ideas connect, deepen, and begin to form families of their own.
What Do The Levels Mean?
A higher level does not mean “better.” It means deeper in the conceptual chain.
The article feeds the Lexicon.
The Lexicon connects the articles.
Sometimes one question creates a word that helps us ask the next question differently.
Not all words are written. Some are discovered.

Attention Exposure
Attention is not only captured. It is exposed.
The degree to which a person becomes visible to competing stimuli, signals, notifications, offers, platforms, and social judgments. Attention Exposure explains why modern environments do not merely ask for attention; they place people inside systems where attention is constantly targeted, measured, and redirected.
Examples
