- https://mindstalk.net/vinge/vinge-sing.html (1993) - does not directly define the term, and mentions it only once. Elements we can extract from the article: 1) superhuman intelligence; 2) "When greater-than-human intelligence drives progress, that progress will be much more rapid. In fact, there seems no reason why progress itself would not involve the creation of still more intelligent entities -- on a still-shorter time scale", thus, intelligence explosion; 3) the change is "comparable to the rise of human life on Earth" and "we are entering a regime as radically different from our human past as we humans are from the lower animals"; 4) "this change will be a throwing away of all the previous rules, perhaps in the blink of an eye, an exponential runaway beyond any hope of control".
