@smc90 Then perhaps a simulacrum? A copy whose relation to the original is so unique that it can't be referred to as a copy.@smc90 At the very least it should not evoke the idea that it is diminished or less than. Though I am biased.@smc90 Any term should revolve around the word 'augment'. I'm also a sucker for Latin: augmentāre (to increase) or augmentum (growth).@faisal_hoque Great discussion today on @FastCompany. Loved your insights.
