wrap around
(foldoc) | wrap around
(Or "wraparound", "wrap") The action of a counter that starts

its maximum value has been reached, and continues
incrementing, either because it is programmed to do so or
because of an overflow (as when a car's odometer starts again
at 0).

vi.
(also n. wraparound and v. shorthand wrap)
1. [techspeak] The action of a counter that starts over at zero or at minus
infinity (see infinity) after its maximum value has been reached, and
continues incrementing, either because it is programmed to do so or because
of an overflow (as when a car's odometer starts over at 0).
2. To change phase gradually and continuously by maintaining a steady
wake-sleep cycle somewhat longer than 24 hours, e.g., living six long
(28-hour) days in a week (or, equivalently, sleeping at the rate of 10
microhertz). This sense is also called phase-wrapping.
