Also, humor is an artistic and even scientific genre, style that exploits concept(s) mentioned above.

Also, Humor is any representation (verbal, written, performance, movie) of a concept mentioned above.

Humor opens an unexpected relation(s) between objects, events or customs, causing disorder of the Human nervous system; this disorder appears as a laugh.

Often Humor reveals some faults of the well established concept and/or popular common sense, reveling the inconsistency of official concept: a simple Gedankenexperiment that refutes the humanistic concept can be applied also to a pretty serious paradigm, revealing its weakness.

Humor form the important part of art and important paper of the Human knowledge.

Humor gives hints to analyze various concepts (including scientific concepts) for the self-consistency.

Often humor is targeted by fascistic authorities, as it helps to reveal the faults of propaganda. In this case, term Satire is also used in the similar meaning.

Sometimes humor helps to find an unexpected solution in a heavy, grave, extraordinary, difficult and/or even a danger situation, or, at least, to avoid a bad, wrong, fatal decision.

Calibrating by genre

Some concepts are easier to describe using the Humor as the main genre.

The Author, creator of any artistic, folkloric, and sometimes even a scientific product sometimes cannot correctly identify, is it humanistic or not.

That looks funny, laughably for an Author may happen to be boring for the other people.

Some thing may be considered as very serious for the Author, but look as a humor for the colleagues, readers, spectators.

Efremov Ivan Antonovich (Yefremov Ivan Antonovich, Ефремов Иван Антонович) may consider his novel «Andromeda: A Space-Age Tale» [1] (Russian: "Туманность Андромеды", romanized: Tumannost' Andromedy, lit. 'Andromeda Nebula') as a serious futuristic utopia.. The absurdly-complicated, exaggerated technical details described in the novel allow to consider it as a mockery on the common sense, provoking the parodies [2] (see also «Сушняк Атлантиды»).
The same refers to the sci-fi movie «StarWars».

Beklemishev Dmitry Vladimirovich (Беклемишев Дмитрий Владимирович) considers his manual on Female logicЗаметки о женской логике») seriously, but many colleagues qualify it as a Humor.

Editor considers the manual «How to Write a Fake» («Как писать фейки») as a result of a serious research, but ChatGPT qualifies it as «Humor». The same may apply to the Rule of NewspeakПравило новояза»).

The Soviet tabloid «Krokodil» («Крокодил») pretended to provide a humor. However, the Soviet censorship did not allow it to publish really comic stories related to inconsistencies of Sovetism; so, the most of the content of that tabloid is boring.

The compilation «Предсказания революций» (In Russian) had been planned as a kind of Humor, but it happens to be very serious and leaded to the historic models «Duration» and «График спецоперации».
The same refers to the article TrumpForever; the references cited cause not a laugh, but a sadness and worries, see («Collapse of USA» and «CivilWar2024»).
The same about movie AlternativeMath[3]; it seem to be planned as a Humor, but the movie reveals the serious problem of the USA society: there is almost no request for Truth [4][5][6].
Utopia «Tartaria» had been planned as a short parody on the multilogia about Meganesia by Aleksandr Rozov (Розов Александр Александрович), but Editor failed to keep the story short; the story happen to be very sad and boring - the more boring, as some of its part happen to be already realized a century 21, a century earlier than it had been expected.

Examples

Warning

The definition and description above deviates from those usually suggested for this term.

On the other side, the definition and description above seems to be more efficient in selection, calibration, categorization of the human knowledge; so, namely in this sense the term is used in TORI.

The term derives from the humoral medicine of the ancient Greeks, which taught that the balance of fluids in the human body, known as "humours" (Latin: humor, "body fluid"), controlled human health and emotion.
