-In an infamous case of [[failure (nonfiction)]], Axiom Antics put an audience of several hundred thousand people into a [[hypnotic trance]], converting them to [[Human logic gate (nonfiction)|human logic gates (nonfiction)]].
+See [[Pi disaster]].
-Axiom Antics then programmed the gates to calculate [[pi (nonfiction)]].
-Subsequent investigation using [[forensic iterology]] revealed a cascading series of failures.
-First, Axiom Antics applied an unprecedentedly high level of hypnotic trance, as the number of gates far exceeded anything previously attempted.
-Second, the hypnotic trance affected Axiom Antics itself.  Prosecutors later charged that Axiom Antics drank cheaply-programmed [[Toffoli Rad]] before programming the gates, but this has yet to be proven.
-Third -- and fatally -- Axiom Antics introduced a [[Software defect (nonfiction)]] into the gates.  The resulting infinite loop caused the gates to divert all of their biological energy to calculating the digits of pi.
