Note: I coined the term "macroinformation" in 1999 and coined the synonym synformation in 2008. Pleroma and Creatura are Gregory Bateson's terms. I first called Persona "Humana." I first called Dementia "Pathologica."

I recently coined "Scientia" for the sunny side of Sentiens and needed a name for the sunny side of Persona, when I decided that I only needed names for the dark side of either: Dementia and Geekoma.

Geekoma, my most recent coinage, is a little flippant, but it will do for the moment. Feedback is of course welcome on all.
