Mandelbug Mandelbug

Mandelbug - Definition and Overview

Mandelbug (from fractal innovator Mandelbrot) is a computer bug that has causes that are so complex that its behavior appears chaotic. This word also implies that the speaker thinks it is a Bohr bug rather than a heisenbug.

It can be argued, according to same principle as the Turing test, that if there is no way for a judge to differentiate between a bug whose behavior appears chaotic and a bug whose behavior actually is chaotic, then there is no relevance in the distinction between Bohr bug and heisenbug, since there is no way to tell them apart.
