"A wampeter is the pivot of a karass. No karass is without a wampeter, bokonon tells us, just as no wheel is without a hub.
Anything can be a wampeter: a tree, a rock, an animal, an idea, a melody, the holy grail. Whatever it is, the members of its karass revolve about it in the majestic chaos of a spiral nebula. The orbits of the members of a karass about their common wampeter are spiritual orbits, naturally. It is souls and not bodies that revolve.... ......At any given time, a karass actually has 2 wampeters-one waxing in importance, one waning."
So... a wampeter is what unites us in our karass. Our karass is our group, which we might not directly associated ourselves with, in this case, it is overclocking xtreme systems.
