The basic meaning of "pseudo" is "false". Since this process actually creates something real, but from a man-made artificial process, I would propose the term "artificialphotosynthesis" or some such. But, maybe that exposes my ignorance, perhaps "psuedo" also means "artificial"?

"Pseudo" means "sort of"*, sort of, but "artificial" means "man made" ("made by artifice").
You're getting closer with your proposal, though, because it has more syllables -- all we need is to Americanise it a bit, with a suffix like "~ication".
* I was going to be horrible, and say "pseudo" quasi means "quasi", sort of, but I think something's wrong with my brain, today. I'm being far too nice.

Hmm, according to googlification psuedo means what I said... sigh.
Actually quasi seems closer to the desired goal since it's not true photosynthesis (wait "not true" = "false" == "pseudo"... lol ... so maybe you're right) but produces oil rather than sugar....
so maybe quasihydrophotosynthefication

So you can either trust google, or someone with a doctorate in English.
Pseudo = "something not quite the same as the thing it is named after/identified with/associated with" -- in this case, "not quite the same as photosynthesis". This can include "fake", true, but the fact that an IF statement can include an ELSE statement does not mean that an IF statement is an ELSE statement.
And for the sake of Alberto the Merciful, never believe a word you read on wikipedia!

hmmm, seems 'false' would be included in that range.

Of course it does, in the same way that "round" means "not a dodecahedron".
But any source that says "not a dodecahedron" is the only definition is a source that's not to be trusted*.
* It's also "not a triangle".

Are we done, here?
You're not telling me anything I don't already know, and you're showing a remarkably silly narrowness by ignoring the full definition and only giving credence to the parts of it that you want to promote.
I don't own the English language, and I'm a highly educated master of it.
You would do well not to claim ownership of it in my presence.

You were trying to force your preference.
People have been trying to do that with the English language for about 180 years, and it's no more right or justifiable now than it has been for all that time.
Words mean what they mean, not what one person wants them to mean.

I was not trying to force my preference. I have no preference. I don't actually care. I was merely trying to show my understanding of "pseudo" is A correct understanding of the several ways of reading it. That is all.
Bye.
And there's a funny thing about language and words. They evolve and change over time. Something, I'm sure you're aware of being the expert on the English language that you are.

With its Microsoft Alternatives project, or MAlt, CERN hopes to avoid vendor and data lock-in. The LHC runs on Windows?
I'm just going out on a limb here, but I'd imagine they could fit a few copies of Office into their 1 B Euro budget?
Ah well, I guess replacing Word with Libre Office will let them smash a few more particles a year.
Sorry(ish) if this seemed a little too political.

If done right, and documented and followed up on correctly, this could be the project that makes me take Linux seriously. That is, if it leads to a standard Linux distro without dependency upon the command line, and other arcana I just don't have time for.

I'd have to confess that, given the ridiculous antics that ms has subjected us to over the last ten years, I would quite happily get physical on the particles of ms decision makers.

They probably also don't want to risk having an experiment interrupted because Windows 10 insisted on pushing an update at precisely the wrong time, nevermind the possibility that said update would probably prevent them from using part of the collider because of driver signing issues.
