I've been toying with this idea under the general rubric of "manifestation", that is, the distinction in understanding of things which one has experienced manifestly -- directly -- and those one has not.
This covers any number of circumstances -- why travel is broadening, why rare / degenerative / mental health conditions are so frustrating to explain to healthcare providers / family / others, trying to communicate specialised knowledge, historical bias, what the old know that the young do not (and rarely, vice versa). Tacit vs. explicit knowledge. Theory vs. experience.
There's probably far better existing terminology than what I've come up with (Hume, Kant, and Berkeley address this, as does Plato, within philosophy). But it's also a major concern in a highly diverse yet tightly interconnected world.
