hypostatisation
Hypostatisation is a cognitive and linguistic process whereby an abstract concept, idea or phenomenon is treated and referred to as if it were a concrete object or physical entity. This process often involves attributing reality, substance, or material existence to something intangible or immaterial. This can involve projecting human characteristics onto non-human entities, or attributing independent reality to theoretical constructs in scientific or philosophical discourse.
