The Somebody Else's Problem field ( SEP field) is a fictional
technology from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy "trilogy" by
Douglas Adams. It is a cheaper and more practical alternative to an
invisibility field. A similar concept has been used in other British
science fiction.
An SEP field is a generated energy field which affects perception.
Entities within the field will be perceived by an outside observer as
"Somebody Else's Problem", and will therefore be effectively invisible
unless the observer is specifically looking for the entity. This
effect is greatly heightened if the entity within the field is already
unexpected or out of place.
