    Now I’m curious what a cisformer would be in the context of electrical engineering

      Ok let me rephrase for pedantic people, adjectives with trans prefix have a correspondent cis adjective.

      And an electrical cisformer would be something that would keep energy inside the same circuit at roughly the same voltage, so basically a wire. Feel free to use the term if you want to oversell something.

        I will start using “cisformer” in place of “wire” from now on, in a similar manner to how we at work sometimes refer to “power aspect negation cycle” for pulling the plug on something and reconnect it.

        Also, I guess a cisistor would be just a regular switch or potentiometer.

      A cisformer would just be a conductor (like a wire). It takes a current/voltage on one side, and gives you the same current/voltage on the other side.

      Now if we’re talking about the big robots that turn into cars, a cisformer would be a car that turns into the same car (so just any car).
