Definition for a video game sharing similar elements, aesthetics and/or concept with the cult action-adventure game Ico developed by Team Ico under Fumito Ueda direction and originally released for the PlayStation 2 in 2001. Ueda wanted to create a minimalist game around a "boy meets girl" concept and through Ico he introduced several design and technical elements, including a story told with minimal dialog, bloom lighting and key frame animation, that have influenced subsequent games. (via Wikipedia)
Shadow of the Colossus, Papo & Yo, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, The Girl and the Robot, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and others are considered Ico-styled or influenced games.
A game that has similar traversal and companion mechanics to the hit 2001 PS2 game Ico. Examples can include games influenced by Ico, like fellow Sony franchiseUncharted, and the Ubisoft Prince of Persia games.
Short for “Pi Initial Coin Offering.” A startup by mathepreneurs, who aim to raise at least $3.14 million in exchange for pi tokens or PiCoins to help eradicate innumeracy in the developing world—their mission is to sponsor math educators-volunteers to help raise the quantitative literacy of millions of people in poorer countries.
Unlike a Pi IPO, which normally involves lots of checks or red tape, raising funds via a Pi ICO bypasses all of this—a relatively easier and cheaper way of raising money to improve the mathematicalproficiency of poor communities worldwide faster.

Iconomy is a state where certain "financial tools" (derivatives/futures-options-cds etc), leveraged credit and uncontrolled increase of money supply, altogether sum up to a matchless value chaotically multiple of the total value of all fixed assets, properties and commodities reserves of the real economy
Credit expansion obtained by financial institutions generating "vitual assets" and investment potential in bureaucratically created financial tools, void of any real or productive value, is a prominent form of Iconomy
