polytoping

A polytope is a geometrical solid of many dimensions used to optimize conditions for maximum results. So, when a person is polytoping, he is juggling the many variables of life in order to optimize results. With a greater level of conciousness a person is aware of more variables, has a more complex polytope, and can better optimize life.

He puzzled over his life, polytoping as best he could.

gnosonarcissist

This word is a combination of "gnosis" (knowledge) and "narcissist" (a self-centered person). So, a gnosonarcissist is a person who believes in a self-centered way that his level of knowledge is correct and/or complete despite what others know. This implies a lack of understanding that others might know more in areas of knowledge in either a horizontal way (breadth of knowledge) or a vertical way (depth of knowledge).

Dudley was a gnosonarcissist who believed that his own limited understanding was better than the the knowledge of others who knew much more.
