finite time singularity

• when the mathematical solution to the growth equation becomes infinitely large at some finite time

comment

• this is also salient for the accumulation of unresolved progress traps
• the Anthropocene can perhaps be viewed as the occurence of finite time singularities due to unresolved problems arising from progress traps that innovation is too slow to solve
