A concept from Vernor Vinge's SF masterpiece series Across Realtime
Human Technology evolves to the point where humans cease to exist in any form recognisably human.
(Less sanguinely) Vinge claims that: "Within thirty years, we will have the technological means to create superhuman intelligence. Shortly thereafter, the human era will be ended."

How is this Tcl related?
NEM: Perhaps the creator of this page saw TIP 131?[L1 ]
CMcC: How is "The Singularity" related to tcl? Simple: Tcl 9.0 :)
KBK: The integration procedures in the math::calculus::romberg package [L2 ] in Tcllib can deal with well-behaved singularities, such as power laws and inverse exponentials. See the manual for more details.
Whether "The Singularity" is well behaved is unknown. :)
