An "accelerating situation". Jay Forrester [0] spoke about system dynamics and how, if you focus on rate of change (at different orders) you see distinct linear or non-linear situations.

If systems are linear, then if they go wrong you can correct them. When systems exhibit non-linear (accelerating) behaviours... watch out. Tech always had a non-linear growth (Moore). I suspect tech is entering a new non-linear phase, going south, as many accumulating factors come into play.
