n. A point in space where, upon a person entering it, that persons existence in [space-time] ceases to be linear, becoming discrete. This means that a person that has entered a chronosynclastic infundibulum exists at multiple points and lines in space-time. For example, such a person could exist at all points in time in one place and also appear at another point for five minutes.
From [Kurt Vonneguts] The Sirens of [Titan].
