super variables
Explanation:
Bernard (2000) called these underlying constructs “super variables” because they are made up of more than one initial variable. The initial variables make up the factors on the basis of the strength of their similarity correlation with the factor. The variables included in the factor, in turn, help the researcher find meaning in and subjectively explain the composition of each factor.

hypervariables


Explanation:
Without knowing the exact context, this seems to be the meaning. I found the following definitions for 'hypervariable':

Hypervariable sequence, a segment of a chromosome characterised by considerable variation in the number of tandem repeats at one or more loci
Hypervariable locus, a locus with many alleles; especially those whose variation is due to variable numbers of tandem repeats
Hypervariable region (HVR), a chromosomal segment characterized by multiple alleles within a population for a single genetic locus

neutral  D. Harvatis: In these examples, "hypervariable" is an adjective, one that's commonly used in genetics to describe highly variable DNA sequences. It is not related to the noun "variable" in mathematics.
