For a definition to exude anything but drag, it needs to be definite. This being so, I have two niggles with "viral" and nondefinitions.
1) Wouldn't "exponential" be an existing term to describe what I think (but can't be sure that) you're trying to evoke?
2) "Viral" is about subcellular pathogens. That's English. Imo trying to shoehorn another, nonbiological meaning into the term dilutes the language rather than enhances it.

In my experience there is very little that hasn't been already crafted with existing, proper vocab and grammar that I need to say.

Yes. Something is quite wrong with your attempt. Many folks have attempted to address (specifically) what is wrong with your attempt, but so far you do not seem to be understanding us any better than we are understanding YOU.
