Pysma

A rapid cluster of questions that cannot be answered by one reply.

Explanation

It fragments a situation into multiple urgent demands.

Example

Who knew? Since when? Why the silence? Who benefited?

Counterexample

Who knew about it yesterday?

Effect on thought and perception

Forces attention to switch between unresolved directions.

Resonance

Each question opens a space before the previous one can be answered.
