From a typo made in an AIM message with Matt Jones that mispelled ‘quantum’ as ‘quantuum’ we came up with a concept called the ‘quantinuum’ – a contraction of quantum and continuum. I thought up a definition on the spot for a laugh, “a continuum of uncollapsed possibility”. So then I did a search on Google, only to discover that it’s a word mentioned in several places on the web already – particularly in an article called Holic Principle and the relations between Physics data. As a super-intelligent Austin Powers might say, “Quantum topological invariance, baby!”
