-}}The [[Biggs constant]] (also known as the “[[Biggs threshold]]”, the “[[Biggs minimum]]”, and the “[[Biggs point]]” after British financial naturalist [[John Biggs|John Meriwether Fortescue Biggs]]) is the point at which incremental [[legal mark-up]] can not make ''less'' of a difference to the juridical content of a passage without making no difference at all. It is point ''just before'' which the last guttering flicker of plausible contribution to the forward momentum of the [[transaction]] is snuffed into a curlicue of waxen smoke; when the tiny pale blue dot of one’s personal justification for showing up is finally subsumed utterly into the awesome grandeur of the [[negotiation]]al cosmos.

 A [[legal mark-up]] that reaches the [[Biggs threshold]] exactly, but does not exceed it for meaningfulness, is called a “[[Biggs hoson]]”. It is a very unstable [[legal mark-up|markup]].
