The robot mower's decision to stop mid-lawn and sulk until retrieved.
The mowermutiny occurs at the far edge of the garden, in the rain, with the blade stopped and the lights blinking a message no one decodes. Retrieval requires boots and the specialized humility of walking across a half-cut lawn. The mutiny is resolved each time by the dock, a full charge, and one honest look at the manual.
Etym. — mower + mutiny — the machine's lawful refusal to continue under current conditions.
