From spending time in the mental space of Quantified Self the term “second-order cybernetic effects” entered my vocabulary for what you call “secondary stressors”. I wouldn’t be surprised if there aren’t other fields as well that already have a technical term. I also learned the clean/dirty pain distinction a while ago from Kay (and taught it once locally).
When attempting to introduce new technical terms I consider it very valuable to engage in some scholarship before writing a post that attempts to introduce the new term to LessWrong.
It’s valuable to think through the different ways you can conceptualize a given problem and argue why you believe that your new conception is the best way to think about the problem.
I’m currently working on introducing a new term and reading an old book to get a better understanding of the prior art and that’s valuable even if it’s effort.
