Oppressive Dominance Dynamics
Oppressive Dominance Dynamics (ODD) describes a theoretical framework explaining how systems of prejudice, hierarchy, and social domination adapt and reproduce themselves under conditions of apparent progress. Operating through structural reorganization rather than direct stagnation, ODD ensures that dominance remains intact even as social norms evolve.

Compensatory–Derivative Superiority
Compensatory–Derivative Superiority (CDS) describes a hierarchical orientation in which individuals derive entitlement or worth from unearned identity traits rather than substantive contribution. Operating in both compensatory (replacing achievement) and derivative (legitimizing achievement) forms, CDS transforms ordinary human traits into evaluative assets within a social hierarchy.

Rotational Hierarchy Syndrome
Rotational Hierarchy Syndrome (RHS) describes the social process through which hostility and exclusion are redirected among marginalized groups to preserve systemic hierarchy. When discrimination against one group becomes socially unacceptable, dominance shifts its target to a new group, altering the objects of exclusion while leaving the underlying standard of privilege intact.

Privilege Preservation Panic
Privilege Preservation Panic (PPP) describes a reactive, fear-driven response that emerges when historically advantaged groups perceive their unearned status to be eroding. Surfacing during moments of social expansion, PPP manifests as moral panic or sudden insistence on unspoken standards as dominant groups interpret the loss of exclusivity as an injustice.
