''Sekaikei'' (''sekai'' meaning "world", and ''kei'' meaning "type") is a Japanese term that is not clearly defined, spread primarily through the Internet but with some professional interest (there's even been [https://web.archive.org/web/20131112014818/http://asian.la.psu.edu/mapping/EVENTS/Entries/2009/4/1_Entry_1.html academic lectures]).
