Permeable Indigeneity in Policy (PIP) Date of Addition 26 April 2024 This concept, simply means, in proposition [...] that whatsoever legal and policy changes happen, they must be reflective, and largely circumscribing of the policy realities of the country. PIP cannot be a set of predetermined cases of indigeneity in a puritan or reductionist fashion, because in both of such cases, the nuance of being manifestly unique from the very churning of policy analysis, deconstruction & understanding, is irrevocably (and maybe in some cases, not irrevocably) lost. This was proposed in Regulatory Sovereignty in India: Indigenizing Competition- Technology Approaches, ISAIL-TR-001 (2021) .

Roughdraft AI Date of Addition 19 January 2025 A term describing artificial intelligence systems that produce preliminary or incomplete outputs requiring significant human refinement and verification. These systems, while capable of generating content or performing tasks, are characterised by: Inherent limitations in handling outliers and edge cases Tendency to produce hallucinations and unreliable results Inability to consistently perform high-level reasoning Need for human oversight and correction The term acknowledges that current AI systems serve best as assistive tools rather than autonomous agents, requiring human expertise to validate and refine their outputs. This conceptualization aligns with the pragmatic approach to AI governance and development, emphasizing the importance of understanding AI's current limitations while working toward more reliable and trustworthy systems The definition is inspired by Dr Gary Marcus's critiques of current AI systems (in fact Dr Marcus had coined this term) and Abhivardhan's pragmatic approach to AI governance.

Skirmish Propaganda Capacity Destruction Date of Addition 11 May 2025 "Skirmish propaganda capacity destruction" refers to the significant weakening or dismantling of a group's ability to spread manipulative narratives following a brief, localized conflict. This disruption often occurs through the exposure of coordinated networks, such as social media influencers or content creators, that were used to shape public perception, coupled with actions like increased scrutiny, discrediting of sources, or platform bans, ultimately reducing their influence over narratives in the conflict's aftermath. This definition is derived from the context and implications of the phrase as used by Kushal Mehra in his X post on May 11, 2025.
