Nah, not any of those. I'm based on organic tissues and DNA. However, a glitch is a glitch, regardless of whatever device is flawed by it, so that's what I call it.

Just a glitch, and nothing more.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
