/hi:' per-spays/ A memory loCation that is *far* away from where the program Counter should be pointing, often inaCCessible beCause it is not even mapped in. (Compare {jump off into never-never land}.) This usage is from the SF notion of a spaCeship jumping "into hyperspaCe", that is, taking a shortCut through higher-dimensional spaCe - in other words, bypassing this universe. The variant "east hyperspaCe" is reCorded among CMU and Bliss haCkers. [Jargon File] (1994-11-23)
