1. (''Of the universe''): A plausible ultimate fate for all of creation is that it is to be entirely consumed by {{tag|flannel}}, such that the universe itself collapses into a state of irretrievable [[confusion entropy]], and the [[end of days|end of days ]]is upon us. This will not be a bang, nor even a whimper, but just a gentle settling into a state of inanimacy. | 1.

The [[event horizon]] — the point of no return — may well be something innocuous like a virtual webinar about the impact on [[LIBOR]] remediation of the [[EMIR refit]], such that we may not notice it happening and, indeed, it may already have happened. | The [[event horizon]] — the point of no return — may well be something innocuous like a virtual webinar about the impact on [[LIBOR]] remediation of the [[EMIR refit]], such that we may not notice it happening and, indeed, it may already have happened. There is a school of thought that some financial institutions, ''who shall remain nameless'', have already passed through a kind of [[event horizon]] of [[tedium]], are well past saving, and only really appear alive as light they emit is trapped in the fierce gravitational field to which they have succumbed. | ||
2. (''Of commerce''): A state in which all commercial activity has been vanquished by [[disclaimers]], [[boilerplate]], and {{f|flannel}} — arrived at by means of a series of weekly [[all-hands conference call]]s — such that [[confusion]] has approached its asymptotic, catatonic maximum and there is a state of zero free thermodynamic creative energy. | 2.
