About this ebook

NEW YORK NY NA NEWSNET ENTWEB editorial
“It’s scary like some great dimly evil miss-benevolent purpose fraught with unforeseen implications innumerable. Now they think they seem to have to know what we’re thinking. All we think. In this twisted project the government has overstepped the bounds of human reason.” Dr Irene Jockman NA Senator
A ‘science’ project is underway worldwide that reduces the entire existence of an individual to a stream of data. It started slowly as a scientific question engineered to an answer. Now it threatens all that humanity is. All that makes us human.
‘They‘, the anonymous scientists described by Dr Jockman have devised a way to enter a persons mind subconsciously and record what goes on there physically and physiologically and psychologically. While capturing subtle conditioned responses on all levels ‘they’ can record all the reactions possible. ‘They’ can take all the data gathered and use the inter-connected-ness of that persons word and image thought stream and replay a person’s life. Now that ‘they’ have learned to read a persons past through the persons own mind ‘they’ will use this soon to try to learn the future. Now no thought is safe from their need to know. The psycho-physiological experiments of the past have given the government a tremendous resource of technological monitoring capability. Now the social-engineering industry has its master key to our minds. They can open the door to places the government has always secretly wanted to go. Using its own security as justification it has long sought ways to anticipate the ordinary citizens many potentially erratic behaviors. Now ‘they’ have a way to know it all. They can declare an end to victimization while making victims of us all.
Look at your wallet lami for that driver’s license strip, for the BIO ID strip and think of whom you got it from. The government has continuously expanded the definition of what it has felt necessary to know. Do you think ‘they’ don’t know about you already? Have a driver’s license? Pay with lami swipes? Do you own your own home? Work a steady job? ‘They’ already know more about you then you have forgotten about yourself.
There is not necessarily someone about to visit you to, like a vampire, drain you of all you know. But commit a crime, or seek health care, or go to work for the government, ‘just sign this little lami form.’ The mind study subjects are sought on the government welfare rolls, with employment advertisements, paid government surveys. More than a few people are eager to participate, tempted emotionally by the seeming deep interest of their government in their lives. Proud to prove they have nothing to hide.
The data collected is much more than a computerized version of twenty questions; it can record response’s for dictionaries of words, encyclopedic volumes of contextual connections, entire histories of anecdotal memories. They read the electro-chemical book of the brain.
This opens the way to general mind testing of the whole population. That’s right, we are on the threshold of an organized process of weeding humanity of those with deviant thought characteristics. The process is being given a comparative database in prisons and hospitals as I write.
To replay a persons thoughts and memories will allow the government to find out criminals through mental confession. So much for traditional protection from self-incrimination. How much is too much to know? When will ‘they’ start to search our minds and begin acting on what they think they find before we can commit ‘crimes‘?

    ADRIFT IN THE DATA STREAM

    I have read the Jockman report and found it laughable. Are these people sane? I will recommend they all be fired and then confined as criminals.

    L ROCKWELL SMITH

    DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS

    He can’t do that! Who’s he talking about?

    Dear Paul

    I send my love to you. Completely. I think about you all day. Every day. My love. My Paul. My Dream. My one true soul mate. I’m here for you. Wet for you. I ache for you. I softly whisper your name while I….

    The 2 each #2745/861432 INTEC CO AVOW 3000 listed on line 4 and 2 each #3345/952 MULTI SPECTRUM HYPERBOLIC ARRAY of your P.O. #312061 were unfortunately crushed inadvertently by a former employee. We have informed our insurance providers and will remit the value of the items as per claim adjustment clause 3 of the bill of lading. My sincerest apology for the inconvenience.

    InterOrbitalshipping Ltd.

    Where are the insurance records of that?

    In the interest of clarifying my position in regards to the advent of the cluster phenomena, I wish to refer the skeptic to the public record. Statistics compiled by the Government reveal that a tremendous amount of potential productivity is lost in the sequencing hierarchy. I have stated in THE STRUCTURED SYSTEM (ibid. q.v.) that such a complicated system of sequenced steps clustering phenomena can result in paradox.

    Whaaat!? does that mean?

    EXCERPT: ADAM QADMON STATEMENT TO THE COMMITTEE

    The third subject proved the most difficult. Extremely hard to locate and track and sample. This person seemed to make a one sided game of the process. Contact was made and the arraignment explained on APR 9 at 10:22 AM at the Poodle Barn site. The team made the necessary preparations and the array was practically in place when the subject disappeared. We immediately initiated the outline procedure. This required that upon next contact a technical monitoring device application be attempted. This was accomplished and the subject was sampled for a 20 hour period. Team contact at this time became a problem of subject hostility.

    I felt strongly that the resentment shown by the subject was rooted in his personality defensive behavior structure. No one of the team could have predicted the subsequent violent responses. The standing policy of the study review committee was that all unlawful activity was to be overlooked, in fact was to be a key consideration on certain of the scales coordinators. The exemption to the moral non-interference policy was action taken to insure the immediate safety of a team member. As it was soon apparent that the entire team was in danger by the behavior of the subject the A2 team B monitoring supervisor decided to call the criminal authorities. This timely decision heroically saved the lives of the remaining team B members. The destruction of The Poodle Barn, in my view, was an unnecessary overreaction of the local law enforcement personnel.

    ASSOCIATED META MEDIA UPDATE

    APR 10 12:30 PM

    TANGLEWOOD FOREST ESTATES, POODLE BARN

    A shootout just before noon today at the business of Mr. Renfrow Holiwell owner of the Poodle Barn Kennels claimed the lives of two university researchers. Police Spokesperson Louis Jones released a statement saying that a misunderstanding over the course of a scientific occupational study got out of hand when Mr. Holiwell shot and killed two scientists. The police responded and found Mr. Holiwell had barricaded himself in his home after having freed over a hundred dogs from the kennels.

    A witness, neighbor Mr. J Phelps described the gunfire between the police and the house as intense and deafening.

    Over seven thousand shots were fired both laser, projectile, and non-lethal types in the fifteen minute exchange between the twenty officers and the suspect subject. Mr. Holiwell was captured suffering only minor injuries by a canine police unit lowered through a hole blasted in the roof of the Poodle Barn by police aircraft. Mr. Holiwell was led from the building shouting unintelligibly as firefighters doused the flames caused by the explosions. Names of the deceased scientists are being withheld pending notification of their relatives. Thirty two dogs were killed and many injured. Surviving dogs were taken into the custody of animal control officers.

    CONTRACT SUPERVISION UPDATE

    GOVERNMENT UNIVERSITY STUDY SUB-COMMITTEE

    (Section 353.861743 Jockman report)

    Progress in the field study occupational sampling sub-contract has been hampered by a lack of focus at the procedural level. While the methodology utilized is of the widely accepted physical immersion hierarchy systematic sampling criteria base, due to the volume of data acquired, a widespread cluster phenomena paradox result appears at this time inevitable.

    The benefits of allowing the continuation of the study are unlimited. Though the subsequent consequences are difficult to predict it is recommended that termination cannot be initiated until the full impact of a possible cluster phenomena paradox is made evident. Procedural complications at the interactive level are apparent but at this level of participation nothing can be done.

    So as the study spun out of control with deaths and possible tainted data they decided the best way to deal with it was to expand the study!?

    The committee recommends that despite those initial results a minimum of four more teams be funded. More subjects in even more categories should be identified and sampled fully. Variable methodology will become obvious with more situational interactivity. The only way to overcome any procedural complications is with much more data. More teams can accomplish this. The teams themselves provide an excellent cross sample base and two additional teams should be created to study the other five teams. In light of the events in which there were procedural interaction casualties a sample of all team members is imperative to the collection of data relevant to investigating incidents.

    The committee’s contractual obligations require that commercial interests be allowed full access to the current conclusions and data. Further contracts and awards are forthcoming to insure multi-market industry cooperation. The possibility of fines or corporate criminal charges brought against any participating entities should be overlooked until all available study results have been compiled. The committee will not share in any judgmental responses to any events not connected directly to any committee decisions or recommendations.

    Well…They can’t say they didn’t know what they were getting into.

    "Hello…hello? Ah! Where are you ? Anybody home? Eh?

    Yes I see you.

    Oh yes there you are?

    How’s the haps?

    Eh oh yeah… I… ah oh um…

    What? Yeah. No.

    Can you see this? Eh? Huh? OH.

    Same to you eh.

    What do you mean by that? Ha!

    Look I called to say hi and see what’s up.

    Ha hah you heard huh?

    Here’s what happened. I don’t really want to talk about it but you should know, so hold on.

    We got there on Thursday late. It was hot and dusty but kinda clouding up. Humid as a wrestlers armpit. B-team had been up all night looking for the site. So while we were waiting for the maps program to figure out where we were we all parked down along a rural road next to a bayou. Torkleson quit at about 8 PM. Was very upset I guess and had had enough. Sue told me he pulled out his ID and tried to tear it up but of course couldn’t because it’s made out of cerami-lami. He wanted to burn it up then and got the barbeque lighter out of the back but it didn’t have much fuel left and the edges just kinda curled a bit. Yeah cerami-lami fireproof.

    Well Torkleson was still on a roll and not done yet. Sue said he finally decided to pitch the card down a gully next to the vehicle. Then, when he threw it it only fluttered a few feet away into some bushes. So there they are trying to find the subject site on the lami maps, waiting for the directions as the locater sorted the satellite signals, listening to him rant and bitch, and every few seconds the card would beep its proximity alert alarm. It knew it was close to him and it thought that he’d just temporarily misplaced it. Everybody I know has tried to deactivate that idiot signal. It drives the neighbors in motels crazy if you leave your card in your room to go for a swim or just get too far away from it. It does this whole fucking routine if it thinks you’re not going to retrieve it fast enough. Loudly! So anyway soon they are all sick of hearing it. They send him down into the big ditch to get it back. Even though he says he’s quit and they can’t tell him what to do he goes. Says he’s going to shred it with Sue’s big scissors. And what’s he do ? The big idiot slips on his way down, it’s getting dark now, and falls busts his ass on some big root and hurts his shoulder bad.

    Now it’s a total catastrophe. He’s yelling bloody murder in the bushes at the bottom of the gully. Sue’s getting upset cause she doesn’t believe he’s even hurt. She thinks he’s latched onto some bullshit disability claim idea since he’s quitting.

    Jeff and Ramón decide they’ll go down and check it out. No one has ilumi-lami's. Two of the flashlights from the travelers are dead. The only good one is weak and has to be tapped often to get a steady light out of it. No chem-illums left either. Jeff finds four old fashioned railroad flares in the crash kit and follows Ramón down.

    Yeah… I know, I know.

    Now they find Torkleson upside down next to a tree tangled in a root and the bushes. He’s got a dislocated shoulder at least. To get some light onto the scene Jeff sparks off a railroad flare.

    Yeah and its dry dry dry. I didn’t think he was so stupid!

    When the cops and the fire department got there they were half a kilo away down the gully from where he fell fleeing the fire. Yeah with a popped arm they drag and carry him all that way to keep from getting burned up.

    Yeah, yeah. Fifty acres around the bayou burned up quick. Get this…the team got evacuated by the cops while aircraft from the forest service dropped huge buckets of water. Ramón climbs out of the bayou up to the road and can’t find the Travelers. The fire crew takes him to the fire services command post. Meanwhile Torkleson and Jeff are found by search and rescue and air evac’d to Port Arthur.

    Yeah that’s where I’m at now. He’s Ok. Drugged up. Arms been popped back in. I should fire the son of a bitch! Yeah but he quit ha-ha. Yeah I dunno. I guess.

    Either way he’s out. Disabled. Insurance the same either way.

    Us? Team A’s lost out on tomorrow. Team B only short one but the rest are in crisis/disaster counseling. Local. Social intervention staff.

    Me? Well I’m going to go to lounge at the motel and get drunk. Yeah…oh yeah? Can you see this?"

    Where’s the other side of that convo? Who the hell is he talking to there?

    Space needs more room space needs more attention space needs a place of his own how much space for space is available if there isn’t enough space for space then something must be done as these quarters are cramped with space here

    Green Apples Project

    Jason! Hey! Send me NO MORE STUDENTS!

    Since I took over at site 2 I’ve had two of my crew murdered, two died in the Vertizontal crash, one fell down a cliff, twelve have gotten so sick from the pizza incident to quit despite the impact on their academic records. YOU KNOW ALL THIS! Students can’t handle it! You know all this! The older grad students are a little tougher; but, HEY!, can it be worth it?!

    I recommend (and I’m sending my recommendations up to the committee) that we sub-contract the crew staffing out to the social engineering industry.

    Don’t get me wrong, I’m not going to quit on you. It’s just the circumstantial variables are so out of control that these casualties are beyond acceptable. I never expected anybody would die on this quest for knowledge.

    It seems to me also that you all in Memphis are avoiding me. I can’t get you on vid when I call. I can’t get an off hours number for you. I know we are not like particular friends. I know you don’t socialize. You all can’t keep me isolated out here forever!

    I recommend that you come out to the field and take a team out and really see what it’s like to deal with these people! Maybe I will get more response after you get a taste of the unexpected.

    I also recommend further participation of the Gov’t liaisons. Those herders show up with the work/study students, give a short speech and then I never see them again. In fact after working with over sixty students now I have yet to see the same liaisons twice!

    SCIENTIFIC FRONTIER

    (bif /david ENT publications)

    Recent events page

    The Mayor of Philadelphia PN NA Anne Jones welcomed top scientists from around the Sol-Tera for the Information Sciences Foundation of the NA Federation of Science, Information Industry Conference. The five day convention features daily seminars, workshops, and presentation of scientific papers. It is a high tech Info Industry fair with numerous booths promoting products, publishers, and sponsoring corporations.

    Topic focus of the invited speakers is Information Boom, Intelligent Technology, Recognizing Sequential Step Anomalous Clustering Phenomena, Space Knowledge Database Management, Rational Investing in Knowledge and Intelligent Systems. Keynote speaker at the awards ceremony dinner will be by General (retired) L Rockwell Smith of the AOIIO Corporate Group. It is expected that he will use this as an opportunity to announce his facilities success in completing the long awaited Key Code Program Initiator. With this product they are hoping to become the industry standard for responsible continuous liability calculation in multi-use product marketing.

    Security has been tight around all conference centers. Journalists have been banned from all proceedings. Full accounts of the speeches and scientific papers must wait until their publication later in the year.

    The conference ends on Sunday with a breakfast meeting of the Asimov Award Committee. A report from the committee outlining all presentations in the last three quarters by organizations vying to become the first to achieve true ‘intelae animae‘.

    Other scientists confirmed to be attending are Drake Burke of Institute Einstein, Bullard Que Director of Research INTEC CO, Dr Brad Wilson Chairman of Scientific Advisory Committee of the Government Universities NA HemiWest, Dr Manuelo de Boveray of the Institute Omnicae CE SA HemiEast.

    FROM: ADAM QADMON

    Hi Out There! Memphis sucks Elvis big time, it’s all BBQ-blues-and Beal street. I’ll be back tomorrow. I finally got to see the new EIO. I should have gotten here sooner. It’s a fabulous improvement. Now we can call up anything a subject ever knew, now knows, and can extrapolate what the subjects complete capacity is to know more. It doesn’t exactly directly read memories yet but apparently they are close with this reverse compendium process. It’s really scary to think about the value of all that knowledge that we can now reveal. What is it worth (?) this power to know all thoughts? Now we can reduce our intelligent minds of knowledge and experience into a marketable database of codified behavior and compared common knowledge and problem solving hierarchies. HOORAY!

    This EIO allows an unlimited access mode selection. Choose a keyword and a compendium process can represent the subjects every relational word usage as a cross reference indexed address list. It will count up how many times a person has ever used or heard or thought of a word. Graphic scales can be designed for any criteria of comparison. Knowledge can be weighed by factoring and sorted by category into response hierarchies and usage ratios. False knowledge can now be weighed against proven knowledge. Both can be compared to experience. It boggles the mind!

    Perhaps I should get sampled and ask the EIO how boggled I am LOL! It could give me a perfect percentage or circumstantial ratio!

    Wonder how many times I’ll be saying bullshit in this research? Can’t tell me that yet can you apple pickers!?

    RM: I mean hey hey…hey it’s your deal…you name it hey here’s my price now make an offer I know you’re gonna gotta try right now think serious serious be cruel come on hurt me hurt me I can take it

    AQ: That’s a price alright

    RM: Look its yours…all yours I’ll wrap it up uh ah eh you like that one don’t you? I can tell…it’s easy to see why

    AQ: Why?

    RM: Why? why! The price that’s why! Half off!

    AQ: Half?

    Of the female subjects Madame Phyllis was the most interesting and different. The shop was a complete change from any other site. She told the fortunes of all the team members for free. She attempted to focus her ‘vibrational’ knowledge into the sampling process. The interactions she had with her peers and clients was very colorful and entertaining.

    The weeks of set up and early sampling and follow up were truly a bit of vacation. The site proved to be a splendid location with ample parking. A local hotel became the CP. A restaurant down the highway served excellent food.

    Madame Phyllis had bought a ski boat during the second phase and she took her friends and the 2B team for a picnic at the Great Long Reservoir on the last day. The water ski party grew into a large party with about 200 guests. A1 team got up early came out and joined in. Madame Phyllis bore all the cost.

    SJ: Yeah me too, They tried to go close tech M.

    PM: Guy was a clinical paranoia. They knew but went out anyway and got into his smuggling shit.

    PS: They even arm the students on the teams there.

    PM: Yeah but most of the teams are Government social techs. Only maybe one student per project.

    PS: That’s got to be better. Fewer casualties.

    PM: Ha hah no shit! Or maybe not so good!

    PS: How many?

    PM: Four dead in one shootout. Two when a vehicle blew up and two others tortured and executed. Six more wounded. The subject dead with half his family too. All his henchmen. The whole episode involved over two hundred Para-military police and Euro-South Government soldiers.

    ‘BILLIE DENTS GAG LINE’ THE ALLEY ENTWEEK

    On Tuesday I interviewed that ‘bad boy’ of knowlegdeology intelegencia gigante genius prodigy of Willimena Porter of the Institute Omnicae Doctor Manuelo de Bovary,

    We met at New York’s Café!Café!. The setting exactly as the cafe name implies: knee deep coffee kitsch. I sipped white wine while Manuelo chugged espresso. He had just come in from Brasilia SA and sizzled with the heat of new hot forged ideas.

    BD: So you’ve decided to go to Mars?

    MDB: Mars. Yes. Expensive, but I must support active participation in human exploration of frontiers. I crave the isolation.

    BD: Have you been following the developments at INVAR?

    MDB: Only as much as I can while traveling. I understand they believe they have licked the plausibility barrier.

    BD: The Asimov prize pre-committee is investigating. What do you think of it?

    MDB: HA! The problem with artificial intelligence is that to create something that has never existed is impossible. It’s the old chicken and the egg problem; which came first?

    Neither the chicken nor the egg came first. They evolved directly from some other creature into what they are. And that pre chicken animal from came some other. It can be traced back to the branch in evolution that contains creatures that in no way resemble the present day chicken or its egg.

    We have the same problem because intelligence is produced most easily by cellular reproduction. The simplest way to create intelligent life is to combine and have babies. That is creating intelligence. But for us, artificially our only way to create intelligence is by using all the information gathered in the past about the world; every bit of data that can be known by humanity. That’s a lot of knows to combine with materials and technologies. But we have no male, no female, and no opposite or mate to combine with all this knowledge to produce an offspring. We have the pre-chicken that doesn’t resemble any chicken and we don’t know what our future chicken will look like!

    It’s got to come from somewhere. We went to the dance without a date. We’ve got our half and we’re just sort of waiting around for a dance. Ha yeah. It could take a million years or happen next week. What I propose to add to this dualistic equation is the opposite of the terrestrial, opposite of the earth. This opposite is planetary, I’m taking my research to Mars. I must integrate with the not-earthly influences of an extraterrestrial source, Space, where we are not from, is the necessary ingredient to make our technology and knowledge of the earth more than human. Mars and what we bring from earth as knowledge can combine to evolve a Neo chicken of intelligence. It is true that opposites attract. I intend to magnify the juxtaposition to influence incompatible parts. This is cosmic mind sex.

    It might just be an inference of proximity or a state of reasonable awareness of an extra-earthliness that will be necessary. I won’t work on Tera at this. I must take all there is of the raw material and separate the observer from the object. In this the observer cannot become the object even though the purpose of this is to copy the observers complete being. As for a mimicking of transferable humanness no one yet can agree what to look for to achieve this. I think that once accomplished the artificial intelligent form of being shall make it self known to be obvious.

    BD: How about all these computers everywhere? My data aide seems almost human to me.

    MDB: Well if I tried I could find out quickly it is an electronic device bearing a personable interface program. It could tell me all about coffee I’m sure…but could it serve me some or make some? Perhaps. We have plenty of machines programmed to do that with varying degrees of capability. Eventually, as in the Welshactor Test, it would reveal its true nature.

    I contend that as a whole humanity cannot define or manufacture an artificial intelligence. We have been attempting to put the whole of knowledge of history and science and behavior of ourselves into a machine that can interact with us as one of us. As an equal. As a copy, a facsimile, that cannot be distinguished as such. And so far we have failed. We can’t even satisfactorily define intelligence as a phenomena of experience. Is a rabbit less intelligent then the hawk or fox? I say yes. As a psychological system its intelligence is limited by its physical construction. Rabbits certainly understand flight as an event external of themselves as evident by their defensive behavior. They look up! In that the hawk eats the rabbit is this an indication of a place on a scale of intelligence? I think so. The rabbit can never think on the level of the hawk or fox; or even communicate with them however the scale is oriented, other than as food.

    Humanity is trapped, as well, in the same way into a niche. There is no escape from our limited capacity to know. To expect the encapsulated animation of all that we know of knowledge, behavior and intelligence to transcend in some way our niche is a fallacy. It will never be more than a mirror, a responsive charade with over-rides and safe-guards and calculated hesitancy inherent in its unease, its pretense of behavior. This is why there have been no successful results despite tremendous effort. It is so easy to spot the fakes.

    The goals of the Scientists have been to utilize the number crunching digitized factored systemic computer array to mimic human behavior to the extent that the animated computer cannot be identified as being a computer. The problem is that the intrinsic behavior of a human is so complex that even the largest computer system could not cope with all the subtleties. Computer pretenders can be found out by the most basic of human interactive behavior.

    The real prize of this effort is the possibility that once the problems are overcome, the personal behavioral characteristics abilities combined with a factual data base of completely inclusive dimensions, would amount to an intelligence beyond human capabilities. Far beyond. A new half knowledge of human’s half human knowledge machine of perfection.

    He is obviously completely mad, which would explain everything. Interesting how he doesn’t mention any Singularity Church doctrine slogans. Be so easy just to plagiarize their lit.

    UNID: Ha!

    UNIDF: Oh yeah!

    BI: It’s like, I see, ya know that, like I mean.

    PS: Two jeds bombed the fat boy right into the canal.

    UNIDF: I heard that a JOIS on team 3 was on a perimeter at half shift operational. They were expecting an outline procedure any minute. So this JOIS here is on perimeter, the subject is a co-op marginal rational, now three days into the job and he’s getting jumpy. The subject takes off into the woods. He goes right past JO who’s trying to look all nonchalant. You know just look’n at the woods la te da da da. Ha! Well at least he’s got a visual. Back at the CP they’re doing a behavioral review to anticipate the outline procedure. The subject guy is like sneak’n around, like lurking around in the woods. The Jo’s getting nervous but the OBs make him stay in sight of the sub. The whole group is about to go outline. They’re trying to figure out what he’s doing when suddenly the rat ducks behind a tree drops his pants and takes a shit! Yeah right out in the woods! Ha yeah! Wipes his ass with some leaves and continues on his nature walk.

    So into the COM the JOIS does the play by play and goes off to follow the subject. Would you believe it they made him go back for the stool sample!

    BF: No shit!

    PS: Yes shit!

    UNIDF: He refused. And they told him he had to cause it was a golden opportunity for the BIOSG guys.

    PS: Geez they know what he thinks, they know what he ate for three days but they still gotta know what he shits!

    BF: No doubt.

    UNIDF: He still refuses. No way get a biologist! He tells them. They say it would take too long and the specimen could deteriorate. They gave him a BIO SCI bonus. He didn’t have a bag or anything so had to use his hat to carry it back. They quick froze it right in the hat!

    GREEN APPLES named for the green apples that must be harvested before they ripen and fall from the tree

    Therefore certain intelligent minds must be sampled thoroughly before the person might die so that society may have the benefit of their knowledge and experience.

    TOPIC: what have we learned so far in administering GREEN APPLES

    -greed can overcome desire for privacy in some people

    -people are nasty have nasty habits and think nasty thoughts

    -the seemingly best adjusted have had several careers

    -some subjects agree to be studied then refuse to cooperate

    -it is very difficult to predict some behavior

    -there is a tremendous amount of common knowledge relative to compartmentalized specialized knowledge

    -intelligence is relative to language skills, accessible understanding of common knowledge, actively used specialized knowledge, problem solving skills over experience

    -intelligence is easy to measure but hard to define

    -measurement criteria are unlimited

    -a measurement can be made of any knowledgeable data in a subject mind and memory within the sample bandwidth.

    -tremendous amounts of knowledge are subtle non-verbally based

    -what people know is worth money

    -people keep time relational lists of experience in all sorts of categories I.e. good, bad, love, fire, etc.

    -people learn in bursts that taper through circumstances usually event triggered

    They paid how many hundreds of millions to find this out!?

    TRAGEDY AT GOVERNMENT RESEARCH FACILITY

    RESEARCH PROJECT GONE AWRY

    Today in California NA a Government University Laboratory specializing in bio-cellular construction has announced that it has engineered a giant amoeba. The one celled organism is designed to be grown in space and sent to the outer solar margins as an instrument platform. This announcement coincides with the escape of an uncooperative test specimen that has absorbed the research staff and half of a university building before being subdued by military responses.

    Laser, plasma, and projectile weapons had no effect so Space Marines fought armed with hoses pumping carbonated cola beverage, axes and swords. The service reports an unfortunate thirty eight Marines died in the battle with an estimated over one hundred wounded. The Marines report the Corps first ever battle with a single cell creature a complete success. A marine spokesperson released a statement today at the scene: Cell for cell it was not a good score considering the over five hundred lives lost, but we won and we learned a lot.

    Said one young Marine: It was all slimy and gooey! My mission was to chop up chromosomes. They were tough as rope! I was running out of cola when I saw my buddy get hit with a cytoplast! It was horrible! Horrible!

    Colleagues and students of the late inventor Doctor Omar Spurge, himself killed by the amoeba, have sworn to overcome the communications problem with the next test specimen. Government University sources claim the next test will take place only in space far out of earth orbit.

    Meanwhile the Military, Government, and Police investigations are continuing.

    …and then I saw it! I saw the great light! I heard the voice of Adam!(laughter)

    and the light shone down and there appeared a chicken dinner..(laughter)

    Adam laid his hands upon the lami and it glowed(laughter)

    Then lit with the powerful light of the unlimited data cache Adam and the lami rose up into the sky"(pause)

    In my ear I heard the voice! The voice of Adam! And he said unto me: Delta! (cheers) DELTA!’’(cheers) DELTA!"(cheers)

    I now bid the wise man from Memphis to speak to us now! Hear him! ADAM QADMON!(cheers)

    "Teams! This has been the finest sixteen weeks of my life. You are the best crews ever in the business. I would thank the government for sending you to me but I can’t find a liaison anywhere!(laughter)

    We’ve learned so much in these four months. We’ve accumulated the largest amount of data ever collected in history. Three new EIO’s are being set up to handle the traffic. All through our teams success."(cheers)

    The bounds of knowledge are pushed outward! The enveloped enlarged! All of you can expect healthy bonus’s when the success grants start coming in(cheers)

    This last six weeks have proved that it could be done. Now the uses of the data will spread. This will begin a data stream and access tree that will place our era as the most documented era in the age of humanity. By sampling common ordinary people while our colleagues sample the leaders and intellectuals we build the core of common knowledge to contrast all intelae. It is through our scientists our researchers and you who gather data that all this forms a purpose. But tonight our purpose is to party!(cheers, applause)

    NEW PRODUCTS

    The AOIIOA Corporate Group announced today the debut of the Key Code Program Intelligence Initiator. A systemic multi-state data base manipulation package. The much anticipated ‘man in a box’ ‘super intelligent toaster’ device expected to become a revolutionary component of virtually all electronic products sol-Tera wide. The per unit price was not divulged. The demonstration device was not interfaced or powered up. Product delivery is not expected until late summer.

    A development related to the announcement took place in Paris FR WE today, a consortium of private institutions and corporations won a dramatic reversal of the decision by the Tera Court of Justice that had allowed total governmental rights to all history and scientific knowledge. Government University facilities had been charging a per bit fee for all data flow. The reversal halts all fees on common knowledge and statistical compilations by all branches of government. AOIIOA and other info dependent organizations are sure to save billions of monets. Use tax’s levied by the communications industry, plus access subscriptions are not affected.

    Industry sources say that it is certain that large volume information users such as AOIIOA will sue for refunds. The Government and university will be appealing the judgment and spokesman insist they will continue to charge until the appeal process is completed.

    Word of the reversal caused a lurch in the pricing trends of informational futures, knowledge securities, and Government Blue-Chip stocks. Investors in Governmental information technology sector are nervous at the liability implications of household appliances and common mechanical objects that are inherently far more intelligent than the owner/user.

    Thanks for the trip to Boise! Oh boy back to Boise! Well at least it’s not in winter lol. Hey P.S. how about sending us a few in Hawaii or Florida. All we get is deserts and dirty cities. I know you’re secret! I’ll tell if you don’t cooperate! Adam wants his golf clubs back, send them express.

    Thanks more.

    Delay! Delay? I can’t believe it! Liability issues! Now Lawyers! Appeals? The contracts still have to be met! The government must produce! You tell your people to take the product apart and you go back to scratch and put it back together right this time! If the public sector gets this first we’re out of here! The stakes are too high for fuck-ups now!

    Transcript 201 excerpt:

    Well…we go out after the pre-contract contract team and the selection team.

    Who decides who gets sampled?

    The selection team uses back actuarial data and computer survey checklist that measures relative arch typicality of volunteers.

    Selected by computer?

    The computer generates the list but the selection is done by the team using the checklist.

    What’s on the checklist?

    It’s a criteria progression chart that is designed to eliminate the subject through certain circumstances.

    Namely?

    Namely cooperation. If the person is felt to be cooperative enough, bad behavior is totally overlooked.

    Bad behavior?

    Moral faults, criminal activity, compulsive lying, even perhaps murder. That is as long as it is not a team member. It’s all thought to be invaluable for comparison.

    And your team takes the data?

    Well not exactly. We are the situational interface team and our job is to facilitate smooth situations throughout the contact. The data is collected electronically by a resonant energy beam field that at every level possible measures intelligence and knowledge through subconscious realationistic stimuli.

    Huh?

    The subject tells the network of data collection devices all of what he or she knows because we ask and record the responses in a comparison of cross indexed relationships. It’s like a continuous awake hypnosis, no drugs, or direct daily interference.

    Your job on contact is?

    I observe the activity of the subject in relation with the technical and monitoring teams and decide how to make things go better.

    Go better?

    Well sometimes it’s getting coffee or waiting for a tow vehicle or identifying casualties. I decide if I get involved directly with the subject and many times I do not have contact at all.

    How many on your team?

    The situational interface team has six field technicians and two liaisons.

    And the whole team for one subject?

    Up to forty people.

    Forty!

    Yes, well, there is a lot of support for the contact teams. Coms vid etc.

    How many does the subject actually see?

    Maybe five at the most. The two techies who take the measurements to focus the field array, the two selection team scouts, the closing rep of contract team, the team leader OIB.

    Vehicles?

    As many as eight. Two or three vertizontils at least. All Travelers.

    Cool.

    That’s nothing on one researcher with an open budget eh Space?

    I’ll tell you his names Paul…Paul…my Paul…Oh yes yes oh yes…um yes… to the Moon…to Luna…yes just me and my Paul…my stud… my rocket shaft…you? Ha! With him? Fuck with my Paul? I’d kill you! Ha ha I would ha yes…share him? Share my Paul with you ? Ha you’d have to steal him! You slut!…Not my Paul he’s mine…all mine…

    Charge: ARSON FIRST DEGREE

    That defendant W Phillips did with willful intent while at work on second shift at the LAMICORP laminating plant at Clover Industrial Park purposefully ignite a flammable material causing the destruction of the building and the contents therein.

    Excerpt notes of Robert Fried Attorney at Law Office of the Public Defender NKC AK NA

    No malice or premeditation accidental result of lack of information sharing between departments

    Containers not properly labeled no fire plan no fire drills or training the defendant was only following orders defendant was trying to innovate an unclear process defendant provided first fire alarm defendant attempted to put out the fire defendant was the last employee out of the building (having to be carried out by firefighters)he is actually a hero for saving the lives of his coworkers… Mr. Phillips has still not received a pay check deposited for his week of employment no one ever specifically instructed the defendant not to do what resulted in the accident the defendant is completely unskilled and untrained secondary school dropout family? Children? Can mother come to court? Is taking computer classes first aid training has received counseling…

    Thanks for getting the notes suit. I don’t have to know how you did it. Boop

    The glue on the laminations would not dry fast enough in the cold factory air the next sheet had been cut and a co-worker was waiting for the defendant to glue the parts the defendant went to the tool room and obtained a heat ray tool no one briefed the defendant on the use or safety of the tool there were no warning labels on the tool or the power pack there were no warnings on the container of laminating adhesive stating that a danger existed in anyway by operating a heat ray tool in the vicinity

    Needs new suit needs shave needs new work safety glasses

    Should have had lower bond should have been bonded out

    Try for counseling community service home confinement

    Wheelchair for court?

    EXCERPT QVS NOTES MDB

    The mold for the adult is set in childhood. A child’s early experiences and upbringing have a great impact on any future productive membership in society. Show me the child at seven and I’ll show you the adult (quote by somebody)

    Our present manufactured intelligent systems have no childhood. No true period of nurture and example by which to learn how to react to the world. All the good and the bad choices are listed and weighed against necessary safety mechanisms through fuzzy logical and crisis parameters. Often there is only a pointer on a list of choices. Our modern systems learn by example, by rote, by trial and error. Is this how a child learns? Yes, somewhat, within the growing human physical form. All the easiest forms of computer learning are exhibited at every childhood level of development in remarkable elevations of abilities. As adults though we become so far removed from childhood that for adults childhood becomes an area scientific study.

    Could a self-aware computerized machine intelligent system be fed doses of life experience in the manner of a childhood? Who would know when to stop the pre-programming in setting up the system? Our brains are designed by our physical form and our life behavior. Sort of designed by genes and use. How can a computer mind be designed
