Pachinko logic is logic (nonfiction) based on pachinko (nonfiction) machines.
It is currently (March 2016) manifested as a self-replicating swarm of nanobots, presumed intelligent and known to be irritable.
Debate
Pachinko logic has always been attended by debate, and in fact it emerged during the French Revolution after a heated debate between the Empyrées and the Submarinards.
The resulting nanobot swarm promptly consumed most of the Empyrées and their properties, while the Submarinards fled to their watery lairs.
Eventually the swarm relaxed, and the French Revolution was able to proceed with beheadings (nonfiction) and conscription (nonfiction). But it was touch and go there, for a while -- touch and go.
Tim Powers
Pachinko logic may prove useful in my (nonfiction) dialog with Tim Powers.
