ZEN meaning Zero Engine Noise?


That might work ;), but this definition from the Jargon File is more what
I had in mind:

zen vt. To figure out something by meditation or by a sudden flash of
enlightenment. Originally applied to bugs, but occasionally applied to problems of life in general. "How'd you figure out the buffer allocation
     problem?" "Oh, I zenned it." Contrast grok, which connotes a
     time-extended version of zenning a system.

It seems to fit the FONC goal of discoverable systems.
