6:06 The short answer is Yes. Each vault and there are literally HUNDREDs scattered throughout America, has its own unique Social, Biological or Technological experiment being conducted inside it. Two vaults, vaults 68 and 69, for example. In 68 there were 1000 men and one woman, in 69 there were 1000 women and one man. Another had completely see through walls, so same layout as vault 4 but the walls were see through. Needless to say they were all insane in their own way.
There were a few "control vaults" that didn't have an experiment (like Vault 13, the vault the protagonist of the original game is from). When Barbara told Cooper she could get them into "one of the good vaults" she probably meant one of these instead of something like Vault 4. There were also a couple of vaults where either the residents mutinied or the overseer refused to follow orders (well, at least one, Vault 81) so the experiment never proceeded.
@04:19 Saw the edit, know that's not what you had in mind, but "Dog Whistle" is what popped into mine. Where a group or culture of people associate different meanings, associations, or feelings with specific terms. It provides a linguistical and emotional shorthand for the in-group. If that emotional shorthand is for fear, mistrust, and anger then you can also use it to filter for people who don't share the same beliefs. Mostly by impeding communication, but also with the threat of cognitive dissonance when internalized beliefs are challenged.
Abi: "Whatever happened to smelling something!?"
The Ghoul stares at her with a blank expression on his noseless face
