===[[Biggs hoson]]=== | ===[[Biggs hoson]]=== | ||
Since 1997, any [[legal mark-up]] that reaches the [[Biggs threshold]] exactly, but does not exceed it for meaningfulness — the smallest possible size for a forensically significant jurisprudential particle — has been known as a “[[Biggs hoson]]”. Being highly unstable, the hoson is rarely seen outside laboratory conditions and will quickly decay into levity, giving off copious quantities of [[Entropy|entropic]] gas in the process. | Since 1997, any [[legal mark-up]] that reaches the [[Biggs threshold]] exactly, but does not exceed it for meaningfulness — the smallest possible size for a forensically significant jurisprudential particle — has been known as a “[[Biggs hoson]]”.

===The self-referential [[definition]] as an example of a Biggs hoson=== | |||
A “[[Dilbert definition]]”, in which ''referential expression == referent'', is a frequently claimed example of a relatively stable [[Biggs hoson]], though its status as such is hotly contested at certain sorts of dinner table. | |||
