mandelbug /man'del-buhg/ n. |
| 19 |
[from the Mandelbrot set] A |
| 20 |
bug whose underlying causes are so complex and obscure as to make |
| 21 |
its behavior appear chaotic or even non-deterministic. This term |
| 22 |
implies that the speaker thinks it is a Bohr bug, rather than |
| 23 |
a heisenbug. See also schroedinbug. |
