Automagic
'''Automagic''' is a [[term]] used when the writer knows the end state of some particular [[process]] but doesn't want to (or isn't capable of doing so) describe the full details of how that end state is achieved.

For example, after receiving the request for a money transfer, the bank ''automagically'' determines whether or not there are sufficient funds.

It is often used in [[software design]] for software problems yet to be solved
