paralogy
a stimulating conversation that generates ideas without necessarily resulting in consensus.  These new ideas emerge, in large part, because paralogy allows us to define the rules of language terms locally and provisionally.  That is, in a local conversation we might say, "I am using the word in this sense."   (Of course, there are many terms that will not be defined locally even in a paralogical conversation.)  This is Lyotard 's term; however, Lyotard conceived of paralogy involving agonistics, and after much conversation on this topic in PMTH, most feel that it can and does take place without agonistics, or at least without aggressive agonistics.  Most people on PMTH look for a different metaphor or social poetics to describe the way in which one comment links to another in paralogy.
