/kwon'tm boh"goh-di:-nam"iks/ A theory that characterises the
universe in terms of
bogon sources (such as politicians,
used-car salesmen, TV evangelists, and suits in general),
bogon sinks (such as taxpayers and computers), and bogosity
potential fields. Bogon absorption causes human beings to
behave mindlessly and machines to fail (and may also cause
both to emit secondary bogons); however, the precise mechanics
of bogon-
computron interaction are not yet understood.
Quantum bogodynamics is most often invoked to explain the
sharp increase in hardware and software failures in the
presence of suits; the latter emit bogons, which the former
absorb.
