👉 Confabulatory is a term used in computer science and cryptography to describe an error where a program makes multiple copies of itself, each time generating a different version of the same data. This behavior can be seen when using a shared file or database that has been modified by multiple users without any means for checking these modifications. Confabulatory errors are common in systems where multiple users share data and make changes to it, leading to inconsistencies and errors in the system's functionality.
