Article description: (description ) This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | When the interaction between two hypothetical characters is needed to explain or describe some system, they are nearly always called Alice and Bob. Alice and Bob - A and B. This duo originally started out in 1978 as a standardized way to explain cryptography. Over time, this Metasyntactic Variable duo has been adopted in explanations of mathematics, physics, quantum effects, and other arcane places, but have also been seen in fiction. They are also found in a surprising number of trope definitions. |
