Effector

A term originally used by Curtis Gale Weeks to designate those actors who initially plan and put into motion any 5GW campaign; or, in any case, those who are aware of the 5GW being conducted, including its scope and ultimate goals, and who consciously work to ensure its success.1

The term has a history of use in various scientific and technological contexts, as well as a generic meaning to describe "One who brings about a result or event; one who accomplishes a purpose,"2  but the term was adopted into 5GW discussion in order to distinguish between those fully aware of the 5GW being conducted and those whose actions cumulatively bring about a successful conclusion to the 5GW operations being waged but are merely co-opted players, pawns, or proxies unlikely to have more than a vague awareness of the existence of the 5GW campaign (if any).

The term effectors often appears as part of a phrase, 5GW effectors.  Various synonyms historically used within the discussion of 5GW theory:  5GWer, 5GWarrior, 5GW Warrior, 5GW Operator, SecretWarrior.
