TIL: Max g experienced by a human who came out alive is 46, at which g, he weighed over 7700 lbs for a few seconds. The record for a roller coaster is 6.3g for a few seconds. Fighter pilots can handle 8-9g in special suits. I'd like a 'g' for culture shock

"Weirding" is like an acceleration quantity. It's the second derivative of normalcy collapse. d^2N/dt^2.

A good definition of "normalcy" N might be based on some measure of map-territory concordance, or a "registration error" being bounded below some quantity, E say. So N = 1/(1+E) perhaps. N =1 at E =0, N --> 0 as E--> inf.

Misregistration (a term from the printing industry, referring to, for instance, CMYK layers of ink on a color page not lining up properly along edges due to printhead misalignment) is likely the best technical concept that looks like what we informally call "glitches" in reality.

You could define E as % of area of a map that is "glitchy" (hmm... maybe a "glitch" is actually more like the 3rd derivative of normalcy, a la "jerk" in newtonian mechanics). As reality changes, the map tracks it, and E grows larger or smaller depending on how well you keep up
