incomplete silence

the theoretical opposite of complete silence. Silence itself is complete, yet to emphasize it the term "complete silence" is used. So, what then is the incomplete silence? It could probably be best described as an infinetly long silence with an infinetly short sound. The longer the silence and the shorter the sound the closer the moment will get to complete silence, yet it will never be perfectly silent.
someone burping during a minute of silence for a fallen soldier, that's the closest you'll get to incomplete silence in real life

Incomplete Tetanus

An increasing amount of electrical shocks to the muscle causes the muscle to contract in such a way that before it can fully relax it is electrically stimulated again. This causes summation effect where contractions get stronger and stronger the more the muscle fiber is shocked.
For example, in a lab the muscle fiber was shocked 15 times per second which caused the fiber to be in a state of incomplete tetanus.

Incomplete Fragrance Masking

Incomplete fragrance masking (IFM): The failed attempt at using a perceived better smelling fragrance to hide a less desirable odor.
For example, the girl sitting next to me in the computer lab used a bean burrito to hide the pungent smell of her perfume. I think that was her intent anyway. You just can't tell with Incomplete Fragrance Masking.
