When choosing a word with which to communicate, I look for one that can be understood with ease by the broadest number of readers/users. I am quite self-critical when I read something I've written and catch a jargon, or a pseudo-intellectual word. I also consider it important to be inclusive, whether by value or by prejudice. Sheine

Why not call a Tweak object an "Idea"? This would be even more Greek, and more appropriate.
I like it; I'll try a seven mile run and mull it over. In the end though it isn't my call; still, whatever it is, I would love to help in developing the theory and practice.
Could we call it Idealistic Programming?
On the one hand, I like the half-kidding optimism, one the other such a term has a progandistic tinge. Maybe one could start with the spirit of Alan's term, Idea Processing, and come up with a clever yet self-evidently appropriate turn of phrase.
Again, it is not up to me, but I look forward to the intellectual work to come.
Best,
