|
| In an infamous case of [[failure (nonfiction)]], Axiom Antics put an audience of several hundred thousand people into a [[hypnotic trance]], converting them to [[Human logic gate (nonfiction)|human logic gates (nonfiction)]].
| | See [[Pi disaster]]. |
| | |
| Axiom Antics then programmed the gates to calculate [[pi (nonfiction)]].
| |
| | |
| Subsequent investigation using [[forensic iterology]] revealed a cascading series of failures.
| |
| | |
| First, Axiom Antics applied an unprecedentedly high level of hypnotic trance, as the number of gates far exceeded anything previously attempted.
| |
| | |
| Second, the hypnotic trance affected Axiom Antics itself. Prosecutors later charged that Axiom Antics drank cheaply-programmed [[Toffoli Rad]] before programming the gates, but this has yet to be proven.
| |
| | |
| Third -- and fatally -- Axiom Antics introduced a [[Software defect (nonfiction)]] into the gates. The resulting infinite loop caused the gates to divert all of their biological energy to calculating the digits of pi.
