Asimov Cascade

A type of technological singularity where a person creates a replica of themself smart enough to become self-aware and able to create a replica of itself, but is unaware that they themselves are replicas. Those replicas themselves become self-aware and able to create a replica of itself, but is unaware that they themselves are replicas. Continue this trend to the point where who was the original creator becomes lost in the sheer number of replicas

Term coined in the Rick and Morty episode "Mortyplicity".

"When squids started killing decoys, decoys started checkin their decoys and learning that they're making decoys. That's making them seek out and run into other decoys. Making them realize they're decoys, making them start to kill other decoys."
-- Rick Sanchez describing the Asimov Cascade.

Resinous Cascade

When you run out of pot and harvest the resin inside your pipe to get high off of, and continue to harvest the resin of the resin when you run out again. This creates a dimensional rift where you are never really high, but you definitely don't feel normal.

"Man, ever since my dealer got busted I've been stuck in this resinous cascade."

"I feel like shit ever since I got caught in that resinous cascade last week. I can't breath and I've got a migraine."

Failure Cascade

Failure cascade is the inverse of a network effect. Websites like MySpace define their value by the people that use the service just as gaming communities define their quality by their members. As bad events cause users or players to leave or become inactive, the quality drop leads others to do the same in a spiral that rarely stabilizes, until no one is left.

Their leaders don't even want to log on anymore, they're in failure cascade.

Resonance Cascade

The primary event leading to the other major events in the popular computer game Half-Life. It was caused by Gordon Freeman.

After the resonance cascade, aliens began to fill the Black Mesa Research facility and kill off the science and security personel. Things got worse over the years, as a new race of aliens named "Combine" came along and began killing people and sucking up Earth's natural resources. Because of all this, we can blame Gordon Freeman.

link cascade

A link cascade is when one is surfing the web and reads something/looks at something then, noticing a link, clicks it, reads/looks at it, notices another link, clicks it...

And the cycle continues.

*Sign into MSN*

*MSN today pops up*:
"Britney Spears admits to killing Micheal Jackson!"

*Clicks link & reads*
*Sees another link*:
"Paris Hilton to become president?"

*Clicks link & reads*
*Sees another link*:
"Celebs at their worst! Horrible pictures of all your favourite stars!"

*Clicks link*

2 hours later...

"Shit, it's already time for bed? That was a really bad link cascade!"
