What is Dialectic?
My definition: Dialectic is the two opposing arguments thrown at each
other to arrive at truth (subjects).
Now let's look wikipedia:
"The dialectical method is dialogue between two or more people holding
different points of view about a subject, who wish to establish the
truth of the matter by dialogue, with reasoned arguments.[1]
Dialectics is different from debate, wherein the debaters are
committed to their points of view, and mean to win the debate, either
by persuading the opponent, proving their argument correct, or proving
the opponent's argument incorrect — thus, either a judge or a jury
must decide who wins the debate. Dialectics is also different from
rhetoric, wherein the speaker uses logos, pathos, or ethos to persuade
listeners to take their side of the argument."

WHAT IS A WYVERN OR WIVERN?
A wyvern or wivern (
/ˈwaɪvərn/) is a legendary winged reptilian creature with a dragon's head, wings and often two legs or sometimes none, and a barbed tail. The wyvern is often found in heraldry.[1] There exists a purely sea-dwelling variant, termed the Sea-Wyvern which has a fish tail in place of a barbed dragon's tail. Two of these mythical sea beasts form the supporters of the arms of West Dorset District Council. Wyverns are mentioned in Dante Alighieri's Inferno (Canto XVII) as the component body for the poem's Geryon.

WHAT IS LITERARY THEORY? - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literary_theory
"Literary theory in a strict sense is the systematic study of the nature of literature and of the methods for analyzing literature."
I'm pasting the whole paragraph. The whole of it is important ;)
Literary theory in a strict sense is the systematic study of the nature of literature and of the methods for analyzing literature.[1] However, literary scholarship since the 19th century often includes—in addition to, or even instead of literary theory in the strict sense—considerations of intellectual history, moral philosophy, social prophecy, and other interdisciplinary themes which are of relevance to the way humans interpret meaning.[1] In humanities in modern academia, the latter style of scholarship is an outgrowth of critical theory and is often called simply "theory."[2] As a consequence, the word "theory" has become an umbrella term for a variety of scholarly approaches to reading texts. Many of these approaches are informed by various strands of Continental philosophy and sociology.

WHAT IS "CRITICAL THEORY"? - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_theory
Critical theory is an examination and critique of society and culture, drawing from knowledge across the social sciences and humanities. The term has two different meanings with different origins and histories: one originating in sociology and the other in literary criticism. This has led to the very literal use of 'critical theory' as an umbrella term to describe any theory founded upon critique.

WHAT IS THE MEANING OF "SMOULDERING"?
Smouldering (or smoldering) is the slow, low-temperature, flameless form of combustion, sustained by the heat evolved when oxygen directly attacks the surface of a condensed-phase fuel.[1] Many solid materials can sustain a smouldering reaction, including coal, cellulose, wood, cotton, tobacco, peat, duff, humus, synthetic foams, charring polymers including polyurethane foam, and some types of dust. Common examples of smouldering phenomena are the initiation of residential fires on upholstered furniture by weak heat sources (e.g., a cigarette, a short-circuited wire), and the persistent combustion of biomass behind the flaming front of wildfires.

WHAT IS "CHIPTUNE"?
<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/5655615?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0" width="584" height="438" frameborder="0" webkitAllowFullScreen allowFullScreen></iframe>
"A chiptune, also known as chip music, is synthesized electronic music often produced with the sound chips of vintage computers and video game consoles, as well as with other methods such as emulation. In the early 1980s, personal computers became cheaper and more accessible than they had previously been. This led to a proliferation of out-dated personal computers and game consoles that had been abandoned by consumers as they upgraded to newer generations of these platforms. They were in low demand by consumers as a whole, and not difficult to find, making them a highly-accessible and affordable method of creating sound or art."
