isopolity
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Forms: form: isopolities
Etymology: From Ancient Greek ἰσοπολιτεία (isopoliteía), from ἰσοπολίτης (isopolítēs, “citizen with equal rights”), from ἴσος (ísos, “equal, same”) + πολίτης (polítēs, “citizen”).
Senses: examples: text: Isopolity...was a relation entered into by treaty between two perfectly equal and independent cities, mutually securing to their citizens all those privileges which a resident alien either could not exercise at all, or only through the mediation of a guardian; the right of intermarriage, of purchasing landed property, of making contracts of every kind, of suing and being sued in person, of being exempted from imposts [taxes] where citizens were so; and also of partaking in sacrifices and festivals.
ref: 1832, Barthold Niebuhr, The History of Rome, volume 2:
text: A mutual exchange of the private rights of citizenship established the relationship of isopolity...and carried with it the right of intermarriage...and the right to hold land and houses...in each other's dominions.
ref: 1911, Coleman Phillipson, The International Law and Custom of Ancient Greece and Rome, volume 1:
text: A state of isopolity existed when the citizenship of one city was made equivalent to that of another, and vice versa.

Skynet
Language: English
Part of speech: name
Pronunciation: ipa: /ˈskaɪnɛt/
Etymology: From the Terminator film series, the first of which, The Terminator, premiered in 1984.
Senses: examples: text: In the first two films, Skynet is a colossal piece of hardware, a single unit which contains an artificial intelligence designed to run the US nuclear weapons system, a doomsday computer that becomes aware and destroys humanity. […] It was only through some very fancy footwork that Terminator 2: Judgment Day managed to make it remotely plausible that Skynet had sent a second machine to a later date. Since Skynet is presumably aware of its own origins, this makes the first film marginally less plausible.

text: With the more convoluted Terminator Salvation, the seductive power of the skin job gives way to a constant maze of false seeming, centered on the relationship between John Connor and the part-cyborg Marcus Wright during the post-apocalyptic human fight against Skynet and its various killing machines.
ref: 2016, J. P. Telotte, “The Persistence of the Robot”, in Sean Redmond, Leon Marvell, editors, Endangered Science Fiction Film (AFI Film Series), New York, N.Y.; Abingdon, Oxon.: Routledge, →ISBN, page 254:
text: Calpurnia, the Good Sister, the artificial intelligence created by Zephyr Bain, had achieved consciousness and self-awareness. She knew of her existence. She had crossed the line from the predictable and anticipated inevitable model of machine consciousness. However, it should have stopped there. The Skynet model from the Terminator movies didn't really work, because true consciousness was a by-product of chemistry and physical constitution.
