Neologisms and jargon are sometimes used in order to not get mistaken for a preexisting thing.
But folk already try to fit new ideas into what they know, and pattern-match to existing stuff. Fancy words don't budge this.

How to write philosophy clearly:
1. Compare and contrast to existing ideas. Explain the idea history, or what commonsense intuition the idea is attempting to improve on.
2. What problem does this idea solve?
3. Avoid jargon.
4. Short sentences.
5. Model Richard Feynman.
