Senses:
gloss: A linguistic construction in which two terms (often inflected verbs) are joined by a coordinator (e.g., and), as in the sentence "Try and win the competition!".
pos: noun
tags: uncountable
examples: In Chapter 6, we investigate more closely the matrix verbs involved in pseudo-coordination (TMA-copying with motion/posture verbs).
As mentioned earlier, pseudo-coordination allows for asymmetric extraction out of the second conjunct, in apparent violation of the coordinate structure constraint and the "Across-the-Board" [ATB] constraint […].
So one possibility to be considered is that pseudocoordination is at root standard coordination, but with pragmatic implicatures that extend the meaning of coordination to purpose.
The type discussed most in this paper is verbal pseudocoordination, which is found in several unrelated and geographically distant language groups, although it is very rare in verb-final (SOV) languages.

Next “season” this order [banning cars] was modified to cover only the summer months—a safe enough proviso, since no year-rounder had descended to interest in motor-driven vehicles.
That’s how you could tell the newcomers from the old-timers among the summer people—anyone who called it Spiro’s wasn’t around two summers ago. Of course, the all-year-rounders called the place by its original name, Smith’s Dock.
[…] many year-rounders have a lot of friends who are part-time Florida residents and who they miss during the off-season.
The few families who owned holiday homes were at the top, then came those who could afford to put up at hotels […] then there were the house renters, and then us. All-the-year-rounders did not figure in this hierarchy; villagers in general […] were a class apart, their presence no more than the blurred background to our intenser, sun-shone-upon doings.
gloss: Something suitable for use throughout the year.
pos: noun

examples: Almost as frequent as grapheme-color synesthesia is the type of crosssensory perception in which sounds are perceived as colored (sound-color synesthesia or colored hearing).
Hence, grapheme-colour synaesthetes could often experience a negative emotional response and anger if they read a text with the 'wrong colours' on billboards, on television, or in books.
Grapheme-color synesthesia wasn't a skill or talent, no matter how much she wished it was at times.
In this chapter, we explore how grapheme-color synesthesia might be expressed in second languages.
There were eight participants […] whose number of grapheme-colour pairings differed between the rounds.

examples: Even though most public-key cryptosystems currently in use are based on the presumed difficulty of either factoring large numbers or extracting discrete logarithms, which would not survive widespread use of laptop quantum computers, alternative quantum-resistant public-key systems are not ruled out to the best of our current knowledge.
With the advent of quantum computers, several of the cryptographic constructs underlying the security model of IPsec and TLS will be broken. Breakthroughs in cryptanalysis continue to present a possible threat as well. Quantum-resistant replacements will have to be found for public-key cryptography and for Diffie-Hellman key agreement.
Earlier this week, the NSA announced plans to make plans to transition to quantum-resistant algorithms—so much as they currently exist—while advising everyone else to starting planning to plan for the same.
Moreover, shifting to quantum-resistant algorithms and encryption is theoretical and thus uncertain, but will surely be expensive and a decades-long endeavor.
Business leaders must plan ahead. In order to stay one step ahead of cybercriminals, they must integrate an extra layer of protection by applying quantum-resistant approaches to transform their security environments to avoid a potential breach either today or in the future.

Quantum-proof encryption uses algorithms that cannot be cracked by any computer, regardless of how fast it is.
In the UK, all government data classified as "top secret" is already "post-quantum" - that is, using new forms of encryption which researchers hope will be quantum-proof.

There's an entire field of study dedicated to post-quantum cryptography. It's based on writing algorithms that could withstand an attack by a quantum computer.
These new algorithms fall into one of two broad categories: quantum and post-quantum.
Methods such as the RSA algorithm that are used to encrypt things like online transactions are not post-quantum — a large quantum computer could break them, because their security depends on the hardness of factoring large numbers.
The report recommended that companies start working on "post-quantum decryption", an emerging field of protecting data in a way that quantum computers could not unlock.
If the data stolen by the balloon was encrypted with post-quantum cybersecurity, it would not be breakable with classical or quantum computers. Therefore, we should upgrade to post-quantum cybersecurity as quickly as possible so that data stolen today remains private for the longest possible time.

However, before anyone nominates me for a Nobel Prize for solving the mystery of telepathy, I should add that it cannot yet be explained in terms of post-quantum science either.
Even if we do develop a post-quantum explanation of reality, however, we must keep in mind the metaphorical nature of such a model and its limitation as a metaphor for understanding only certain aspects of reality.
