Sigma levels

  • 1-sigma: around 68.27% likelihood of expected outcome, leaves a margin for high levels of undesired outcomes
  • 2-sigma: around 95.45% likelihood of expected outcome, relatively small margin of defects
  • 3-sigma: around 99.73% likelihood of expected outcome, used across the industries for baseline quality control measurement standard.
  • 4-sigma: around 99.9937% likelihood of expected outcome
  • 5-sigma: about 99.99994% likelihood of expected outcome, tight margin for error, used in safety-critical subject and industries with high precision, means almost no room for error. 1 defect/error in 3.4 million. It is so precise and extremely intolerant to fault; usually can be observed to be used in particle physics and similar areas.

Bacchanalia

bach-ana-lia

Drunken feast, orgy. An accustom of Romans

Some sort of Roman festival from Roman times of BC. It's nature is rather suggestive, ecstatic and quite fun. Horny masses, rituals and rites of all sorts, wine flowing like river, dance, music... It was exclusive to the cult of Bacchus. Even by Roman standards, they were considered inappropriate and degenerate. It gets the inspiration from Bacchus; god of wine, festivity, ritualistic frenzy and ecstasy.

You may simply think it as the moments before God smites thee; just before Moses descended back from the mountain, carrying with him the commandments. At that time, the general mass/crowd were also in some sort of trance of rave and fervor of degeneracy.
