musings of wrath

[A note on setting, an internal thought "process" of the main character, presented within the story, with an audio clip starting it out, this part being explained in the previous chapters, which aren't good enough for me to put up here publicly, yet. I just want people to see what the main character thinks like, and what kind of subject matter it will be. It may be a little too intellectual for some, but I think most, if not all, of my friends can understand some of the science behind the fiction.]

“every time i try to write

the politics get in the way,
the people, they get in the way,
the thoughts, they get in the way,
but sometimes i realize that they aren’t part of the way.

the way leads to health,
the way leads to wealth,
the way leads to happiness,
that is until, the way turns your life into a pit.

the way is wrong, the way is doing wrong.
the way is not what you see today,
the way is something you think about,
in every action, in every move, in every way.

the data gets in the way, for the sake of the machine. so said some mathematician in the 1800s. babbage? someone, i don’t recall. it could have been one of the german boys in the 20s and 30s, it really was a wacky time those days. mind altering drugs, mind altering behavior, and even mind altering ways of thought. zen, popular now, as was then, but from an occidental point of view. now we look at the zen of the east, and we begin to see the problem of systems - to be perfect, they must be imperfect. the perfect machine can make the perfect circle, certainly. but it doesn’t have the thinking power of a human being. or is that spirit that’s missing? or is that what the modern “fringe” wackos call the “thetans”? i would put quotes around wackos, but some of them are wackos. genuine. and not made by intel.

hence the joke of the matrix - the punchline.

but this isn’t a dissertation about a few movies, it’s a speech about quantum mind theory, developed by the first AI developed by man - using self-generated hardware, combined with the “genetic chip” technology developed in the Gen13 project. this hardware was put together in a small General Steel prefab, on a small lot near down town dallas. some might even consider it down town - after all, it’s closer to the high rises than fair park - our parking lot was leased out for $5 a space during the state fair - to help pay the bills for the digital pipe we needed for the project. the theory was, if you give the hardware access to add or change itself physically, using nanomachines controlled by a bit of software, plugged into the internet. the hardware was all virtual, using a rather large distributed network crunching the “program” together so that it can build itself a hardware platform. we made the network of data look for the brain, and controlled what options it had, and it generated itself one hell of a piece of hardware. it doesn’t even really connect in any way, we thought it was using radio waves, but it didn’t explain the rate of data transfer during problem solving exercises. we later took a closer look, and realized that there was no real data in the radio waves - they were the waves being generated by millions of *particles* flipping like switches - faster than the speed of light, at the quantum level - teleporting so fast, we can’t even comprehend the speed - so we call it infinity. true infinity. then we started measuring for other bits of radiation, radical stuff, waves on the highest carrier frequencies we could think of - frequencies deemed dangerous because of microwaves’ aptitude at vaporizing flesh, metal, and so on. laser frequencies for many atoms, but applied to the matter of the hardware, and it didn’t get anywhere near the necessary energy to lase. then we discovered a bit of frequencies so high, that they didn’t even generate radiation, but they generated an almost apparent “heaviness” to the hardware. the weight seemed to increase in certain areas. what was apparently happening, was the software found a hole in the hardware, or the hardware found a hole in the software, and it began literally self-spinning itself to what we’d find on very heavy elements - the ranges we’d never dreamed of. we call them “heavy quantums”. elements we can only see at the quantum level, because they’re “nonexistent”, as far as our older equipment told us.”

It was a bit weird the first time I heard it, but once I saw what they were talking about, and talked to the machine myself, I then watched the above tape of his first words, and I believed it was possible, for true intelligence to exist within a machine. And then when I understood what he was saying, it implied the existence of the spirit. Now, it’s not a problem, per se, it’s good for the machine to have a spiritual side, it means that it can conceive of right and wrong, and can even learn the importance of laws. The development of psychosis in the machine was really amazing to myself, and my colleagues. Two of them even resigned when they heard the whole theory, calling it too fringe. Probably the creepiest part about it all, was when it quoted back research notes from the SourceForge project website.

This machine has taught us that, if you perfect a system too far, or too well, you build into it a gigantic hole, waiting to surprise you, and break down. That is, that our very way of thinking, can be predicted, with this technology, using heavy hardware frequencies and the like. No more do we even need a wire for a network, nor do we need any kind of fuel to create energy. We can now tap into the very world itself, putting only energy back into the system. Perpetual energy, with motion required, but only once. The Quantum Earth Theory, however, has one big “catch” - what’s the output, and is it bad?

I was determined to find out.
