Vastness

Vastness is the region beyond ordinary normalcy on the thinkability map, an effable but increasingly unnameable expanse of detail that cannot be conceptualized in any general way. J. G. Ballard's Drowned World and H. P. Lovecraft's fiction are cited as examples, with Ballard's characters sinking out of normalcy into deep time after external conditions trigger it. Unnameability is described as a mundane property of any experienceable thing with more incompressible detail than can be named, and even in a discrete, countable universe, practically unnameable detail remains.
