Definitions for "Snapping"
Snapping is a term coined by Flo Conway and Jim Siegelman in their 1978 anti-cult book Snapping: America's Epidemic of Sudden Personality Change to describe the mental process by which a recruit is converted by a "mind control cult" and other religious movements. It is also used to describe the process of "snapping out of it" during deprogramming or exit counselling, which the authors recommend as an antidote, a way of repairing the "snap".
The process of moving a feature to coincide exactly with coordinates of another feature within a specified snapping distance, or tolerance.
