This is not the same as pakala, in fact much stronger and only encompasses events which will cause mass homicide, destruction or even the collapse of the universe.

Examples:

"sina kipisi ala tan ala la, sina kama jo e nanpa nan." (If you divide zero by zero, you will get NaN/the result is undefined/the result is indeterminate.)

"lipu ni la, jan li kepeken e ilo nan." (In this novel, someone uses a reality-breaking device."

"ma Tomo Anpa li nan." (The Backrooms are unstable.)

Origin: English "NaN" - "Not a Number" (programming term)
