Chaos Singularity 2006
What
Cosin is a chaotic event organised by chaostreffs of Switzerland, SheGeeks and trash.net. We intend the hold lectures, operate a network and have a lot of fun. Lectures are going to be in german and english (probably mostly german).
Cosin is going to be a relatively small (and cosy :) event; that said, international guests are very welcome.

Zukunft
Während des COSINs fand eine Zukunftsdiskussion statt.
Singularity
A singularity is a particular point in time and/or space, where everything concentrates (eg a black hole - a mass singularity). Chaos Singularity could therefore be a concentration of all chaos. A singularity can be something strange, unusual, peculiar or unique. Furthermore, singularity is the point in time, where the exponential growth in technology becomes infinite. At this point, all development happens extremely fast and almost completely chaotic, making any predictions about the following time impossible.
Cosin is a trigonometric function. It does not have any singularities. The value of cosin(2006) is approximately -0.093.
