well, remember Event A? Apparently, in addition to the clock resetting, it also reset the tripometer. Now, I've never actually have run this thing dry, so I glance at my tripometer thinking that'd give me some idea when. Blinking is what we, in the motorcycling world, refer to as 'not good'. 45 minutes pass, and I've been inching along when I notice the fuel gauge is now blinking. Well, I got Joe Rogan on the Ipod so all is well. Once where you sit non-moving for a considerable period of a time.
Why? Because there is a huge honkin traffic jam on above-mentioned road. Apparently, there's been an accident on this main throughfare home. I know where the gas stations are on the road home and do a swift calculation of how I can get etc. Start the bike right up when suddenly.Ī 1. It's a nice day, work is slow, why not? Get some riding in and enjoy spring. I'm leaving work about a half hour early. Gee, ain't that something?įlash forward a couple hours. Allow me to use yesterday's events to illustrate Testcase's Maxim of the Resonance Cascade.Įvent A: While starting the motorcycle in the morning, I noticed that the clock reset, as though power to it had been interrupted. Event A will normally appear trivial so that no steps are taken to prevent the resonance cascade until it is too late.
WHAT IS A RESONANCE CASCADE SERIES
Resonance Cascade: A series of events (A 1.A 1+x)following an initial event (A) that magnify A where A is almost always something negative. However, based on the meanings of the two words, it gives me the idea to adopt a personal definition for it: As far as I know, resonance cascade doesn't really actually mean anything scientific. If you've played Half Life at all, you will know that the event that setup the premise of that game (Aliens come from another dimension, slaughter humans at will) was called the Resonance Cascade.
