Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Narcissistic Cannibal

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Narcissistic Cannibal claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Narcissistic Cannibal before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Narcissistic Cannibal ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Narcissistic Cannibal

In research: Narcissistic Cannibal appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Narcissistic Cannibal in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Narcissistic Cannibal is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2011 singles, 2011 songs, Dubstep songs, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Narcissistic Cannibal outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
