tick: n. 1. A jiffy (sense 1). 2. In simulations, the discrete unit of time that passes between
iterations of the simulation mechanism. In AI applications, this amount of
time is often left unspecified, since the only constraint of interest is
the ordering of events. This sort of AI simulation is often pejoratively
referred to as tick-tick-tick
simulation, especially when the issue of simultaneity of events with long,
independent chains of causes is handwaved. 3. In the FORTH language, a single quote character.
