algorithmic critical mass

algorithmic critical mass — the Urban Dictionary principle that states: the more words you enter into the Urban Dictionary, the easier it is to add words to the Urban Dictionary.

This is especially true if you make the words you add refer to your previous words based on known linguistic principles. In this way the algorithm reflects aspects of your mind; and your mind becomes one with the algorithm as well.

There is something more frightening than artificial intelligence and that is computer intelligence that merges with the mind of humankind.

What happens when infinite computing power merges with the full potential of the brain. I don’t know because I waste my mind on adding Urban Dictionary entries instead of contemplating more weighty problems.

But you have got to admit that that is an awesome Afrofuturistic observation.
If you add enough word to the Urban Dictionary you will reach an algorithmic critical mass where the algorithm will reflect your mind; and, your mind will reflect the algorithm.

Ultra Critical Mass 

Large numbers of complaints that must reach disciplinary authorities before action is taken to discipline or protect the public. Especially relates to attorneys and their bar associations who oversee grievances and egregious, unethical conduct. Also can relate to doctors, police, etc. Ultra Critical Mass can take years, decades, or an entire career before it is reached. The implication is that large numbers of people are harmed by a single individual while Ultra Critical Mass is building. Is often the product of biased reviewers, cronyism, and/or bureaucracy.
The file cabinet containing attorney Doe's voluminous complaints finally collapsed; the bar is now investigating some of those complaints; Ultra Critical Mass has occurred.

critical mass 

A large gathering of mostly douchebag hipsters that ride their bikes around the city on the last Friday of the month. Participants feel that since they ride bicycles, they are somehow superior and permitted to break traffic laws.

critical mass 

A monthly gathering of people to ride bikes around a city or town. Its general purpose is to raise awareness that people ride bikes for transportation too and roads should be more accomidating for bikes. With many cyclists riding together in a group they are able to reach a "critical mass" and become a powerful entity of the roads, taking up many lanes.

Invented in San Francisco, it is celebrated in many cities across the world due to its simplicity to organize, often all you need to is spread the word about it. In San Francisco and New York participants often number in the thousands. It is usually at the end of the day on the last Friday of every month, at a standard, well-known gathering spot.

Often criticized by motorists as a nuciance, though cyclists criticise back that motorists hog the road, pollute, kill, etc.
Hey bro, want to see a movie this Friday at 5?

No man, I'm going to the Critical Mass to challenge the social norm of owning a car! Me and a few hundred other bike riders are going to be celebrating peaceful transportation. You should come. Everyone should come! No Critical mass? Start one!
