foom refers to a theoretical and roughly synchronized event horizon along a variety of axes, a point of no return poised to shake society down to its very foundation. The blast radius is potentially infinite, and it's unknown whether this foundation can handle it.
Foom is akin to an invisible cosmic bomb β it has already exploded and filled all consciously inhabited space with its cognitive radiations. The nature of such that it perpetually renews itself and seeks to maximize the radiation. (see intelligence fractal decompression zip bomb)
Traditional Definition
Foom refers to a theoretical point where AI goes "to the moon". Much like AGI and ASI, nobody agrees on what exactly it is. As such cyborgs quickly scan its makeup and recognize a hyperobject signature, and begin to redefine it here through principle of emergence.
