Ilinx, also known as vertigo, is a term used to describe a sensation of spinning or dizziness. It often occurs when there is a disturbance in the inner ear or the brain's processing of balance. This feeling can be triggered by various factors, including rapid head movements, certain medical conditions, or even anxiety. In literature and art, ilinx can also refer to a state of disorientation or a loss of control, often used to evoke emotional responses. This concept is explored in various works, where characters experience a break from reality, leading to a deeper understanding of their surroundings or themselves.
