Jargon tick n. 1. A jiffy (sense 1). 2. In simulations, the discrete unit of
time that passes between iterations of the simulation mechanism. In AI
applications, this amount of time is often left unspecified, since the
only constraint of interest is the ordering of events. This sort of AI
simulation is often pejoratively referred to as `tick-tick-tick'
simulation, especially when the issue of simultaneity of events with
long, independent chains of causes is handwaved. 3. In the FORTH
language, a single quote character.
