The interesting thing about this picture is, really, before today, the concept of it held no meaning to me.
The idea behind it is cute, as we can see the two lines as two people heading in different directions in life, while they wish for the other.
The idea came to me when I was a freshman in high school.
We had been studying slopes of a line when y was greater than, less than, greater than or equal to, or less than or equal to m(x) + b.
I remember, the two lines we're parallel, and I had mapped the two lines on the graph correctly, however I had shaded in the wrong places on the graph.
The correct shading was for both lines to be shaded in between each other, that way the answer could lie anywhere in between the parallel lines.
This didn't matter to me much, as I was fascinated at the sweet nature of the incorrect answer, however empty it was.
Today, as I was at lunch with my friend Monica, who is a brilliant artist, and possess a unparalleled gift of objective and subjective thinking.
The subject of art came up, and she mentioned an art she had done where a maximum of four arrows we're used.
I haven't seen the real piece myself, however a rough idea was sketched out by her on the concrete with a sharpie.
I explained I had a similar work I had done. And began to explain mine to hers.
As I explained she made note of the mathematical error, and explained the me the concept behind my own work.
Making note that the two arrows represent two different people who strangely parallel each other, but make an arithmetic mistake, and shade in the wrong area, however long for the right area.
While she filled the concept of the work to a degree of meaning. The idea remains sadly the same.
However I believe corrections in logic can change the outcome. |

Coin Flip Prediction Theory
|
|
|
| The chance of a random outcome of a coin flip can be disproved by what side the coin was facing before being flipped, the speed in which the coin was initially flipped in the air, the number of seconds its flipping airborne, and whether an additional flip was made after it had been caught to reveal the outcome. |

When I was 8, or maybe 10, I had this thought that called to question my own, and others existences according to perception.
You see, I asked my dad, if while I was away at school, could I be sure that that he existed? Conversely, while I was at home, how could I be sure that my classmates and teacher existed, and could the whole experience in life be just a dream.
He said he didn't know.
Interestingly, the subject came up again as I was lightly browsing an internet forum and came across conversation about the state of Schrodinger's Cat.
As I understood it was about a cat whose life would depend on it's ability to randomize it's actions; and weather perception comes into play.
Apparently in 1935 Erwin Schrodinger placed a cat in a sealed box containing a flask of poison and a device that detects radiation.
Should the radiation detector detect radiation, then the flask will break and the cat will die from poisoning.
Quantum mechanics and the uncertainty principle (our perception) suggests that the cat is simultaneously alive and dead because we cannot determine the outcome until we open the box.
This calls into question existence as a whole because, following that principle, we have no way of knowing what exists at any given moment unless we're looking directly at it.
So, in a nutshell, I exist, but because I can't see you, the reader, it means you don't exist. Conversely, I don't exist either because you've never seen me.
But I know for certain I exist, and you know for certain you exist.
For neither of us to exist would be a paradox, therefore we must both exist, as well as everyone else.
Schrodinger's cat was confused.
Schrodinger's cat died of poisoning inside the box while we twiddled our thumbs.
Not after we opened the box. |

From what is whole, is still whole.
From the whole, the whole is divided
When the whole is divided,
The whole will co-exist with the new whole.

In the later part of February, I thought of structure control sequence that could be used to simulate a rational human brain.
You see the problem is actually figuring out how that would work.
Initially I thought using a CASE sequence, giving it the options of using it's senses, and giving it some form of controlled thought without any pre-programmed thought, it could be done.
Remaining within the scope, and only IF the AI did work and could independently rationally think, there would be no way for another being to interact with the AI because it can't have any pre-programmed thought or knowledge.
And assuming it did know a human language, at this point it would be a rational-only thinking AI and would have a lot of trouble making decisions that we as rational/emotional thinkers don't bother thinking about.
Being as it may, I figured since a programming language by definition is rational logic, a programming language (like C/C++, Assembly etc.) would be able to take care of the Rational part of the brain. However, the problem I continue to run into is how to build the emotional part of the brain, or the "mind" as it be.
I've figured that in order to build an artificial mind, a new scripting language must be build based on fuzzy logic, can work inside the programming language the brain is functioning in, and must be able to comprehend the rational logic in a emotional way humans do.
In other words, if the AI was given "Yes and Not Yes," it wouldn't overreact to the statement because logically it seems to loop, but instead looks for a way around it, or a different solution.
