Hi all, I seem to remember in one these books the notion of the smallest idea, akin to the atom being the smallest particle of matter. I am guessing it might be calles an "ideon". Does anyone recall such a notion from one of the books? If so, does anyone recall where it is from?
Hm... I remember the kingon (smallest unit of royalty)... and the thaum (smallest unit of magic)... But other than that... Not right now, no.
Particles flying thru space. That's the one! And sometimes, if one were lucky, getting stuck inside a brain. Do you recall which book?

An inspiron is a sub-atomic particle of inspiration which interacts with the mammalian nervous system to trigger a random thought or action. So far 6 'flavours' have been proven to exist - these are known as queer, strange, angry, funny, black and blue. More are hypothesised I saw one in Sourcery, at least. Does anyone know any more references for them?
Sourcey is the one that springs to my mind. One hits rincewind, and he gets a revilation about being a wizzard. Also they're mintioned in reguards to Hewl, in Wyrd Sisters.
