Snow Crash [related: Complexity Theory]
Software failure mode generated by the limitless quantification of random
nonsensical data that is then forcibly incorporated into a finite bitmap
(traditional 8-bit) resulting in a complete wipe of memory and functionality
(AKA the white void of nothingness, the quadratic abyss) and the sudden onset
appearance of channel static television fuzz. Within cyber-metaphysics, "snow
crash" is often equated with the human phenomenon of mental breakdowns [see:
schizophrenia]. According to complexity
theory

, randomized numerous stressors that either 1) are in fact
limitless or 2) are perceived to be virtually limitless can lead to the
fracturing of core functioning into discrete units, thus severing the system's
cybernetic
feedback loop. In this sense, the
concept of complexity-induced breakdowns clearly applies to both organic
(brain) and inorganic (computer) processing units - a concept supported by the
reports of "undulating, randomly patterned mind wipes on the surface of an
endless oceanic void" (AKA grey waves) by patients under observation following
pronounced psychotic breaks.
"Rogue waves in the distant dark, suddenly upon me. Remove the stanchions and pray."
1 It is perhaps worth noting here the higher rates of documented psychological distress in veterans of recent nonsensical, highly complex and morally ambiguous/abstract wars (Vietnam War, Desert Storm, the "War on Terror") verses veterans of World War I and World War II (conflicts with higher levels of overall brutality and carnage but featuring physicalized battlegrounds and clearly delineated "sides" AKA a central moralistic binary system.
