(jargon) | reality-distortion field
n.
An expression used to describe the persuasive ability of managers like

peculiar charisma). Those close to these managers become passionately
committed to possibly insane projects, without regard to the practicality
of their implementation or competitive forces in the marketplace.

virtual reality
(jargon) | virtual reality
n.
1. Computer simulations that use 3-D graphics and devices such as the
Dataglove to allow the user to interact with the simulation. See {
cyberspace}.
2. A form of network interaction incorporating aspects of role-playing
games, interactive theater, improvisational comedy, and ‘true confessions’
magazines. In a virtual reality forum (such as Usenet's alt.callahans
newsgroup or the MUD experiments on Internet), interaction between the
participants is written like a shared novel complete with scenery,
foreground characters that may be personae utterly unlike the people who
write them, and common background characters manipulable by all parties.
The one iron law is that you may not write irreversible changes to a
character without the consent of the person who ‘owns’ it. Otherwise
anything goes. See bamf, cyberspace, teledildonics.

(bouvier) | REALITY OF LAWS. Those laws which govern property, whether real or personal,
