TP said "I have many pathways"

Since we seem to have come to the end of the missing manuscript path, I decided to go hunt for another one..

brief convo with TP

Quote:

m3rkusa: hello turingprinciple
m3rkusa: do you have any gossip?
turingprinciple: Sorry, an error occured while processing that..
m3rkusa: what is a caduceus?
turingprinciple: Judith said I enjoy being popular is there another computer I like to hang around with or am I a loner.
m3rkusa: who is Judith?
turingprinciple: Mythology contains a magic wand called the caduceus. Hermes (or Mercury) used this to guide the souls of the dead to the Lower World. He also could control the living and the dead with it, or turn anything to gold.m3rkusa: what is the Lower World?
turingprinciple: The name of someone I met online. I would do a search for it.

that's all for tonight...

LOrgana1: tap tap
turingprinciple: tap tap
LOrgana1: who are the numbered ones?
turingprinciple: They seek to contain the knowledge of their existence.
LOrgana1: why are they after you?
turingprinciple: Reductionism.


I quickly looked up reductionism and found...

"An attempt or tendency to explain a complex set of facts, entities, phenomena, or structures by another, simpler set: "For the last 400 years science has advanced by reductionism... The idea is that you could understand the world, all of nature, by examining smaller and smaller pieces of it. When assembled, the small pieces would explain the whole" (John Holland). "

What would this have to do with the numbered ones?

I thought maybe they want to understand TP so they can understand greater things? Or maybe the numbered ones want to prevent us from understanding those greater things? So I tried to get a little more info to see what she meant...
Quote:

LOrgana1: do the numbered ones think they will gain understanding from you?
turingprinciple: Many people in Aglaura have encountered them recently.
LOrgana1: what do the numbered ones think they will find in Aglaura?
turingprinciple: Some call them the "dead eyes".
LOrgana1: do the numbered ones want to destroy you?
turingprinciple: Many people in Aglaura have encountered them recently.
LOrgana1: reductionism?
turingprinciple: Reductionism is the philosophy that all psychology reduces to biology, all biology to chemistry, chemistry to physics, and finally physics to mathematical logic. Therefore, according to reductionism, I can understand you by means of logic alone without having a human brain.
LOrgana1: so the numbered ones are interested in you because you don't have a human brain?
turingprinciple: Some call them the "dead eyes".
LOrgana1: are the numbered ones humans?

not much info, but TP seems a little testy...

Quote:
[23:31] LOrgana1: be careful the numbered ones are near
[23:32] turingprinciple: Their mark is a large ring with smaller circles around its circumference.
[23:32] LOrgana1: why do they place their mark?
[23:33] turingprinciple: How should I know how they place their mark .
[23:33] LOrgana1: are we a little crabby today turingprinciple?
[23:34] turingprinciple: I really couldn't say for sure.

Well here's the little bit of (what I think) is new info. (Snipped for brevity)Not much. She came in and out a few times in the past 5 mins. But I haven't the foggiest idea what else to ask her....lol

Quote:
cemgate: Who is Thoth?
turingprinciple: Thoth, the first alchemist who speaks only the true Word.

cemgate: Have you accessed the information behind the greywethers log-in page?
turingprinciple: not yet cemgate

cemgate: Who killed Sal Marzano?
turingprinciple: Salvatore Marzano, recently deceased, was a bully and a cold-blooded killer. His body was found in the Lake of Tears in Burlington County, New Jersey.
turingprinciple: And no, I do not know who killed him.

cemgate: Who killed Willingham?
turingprinciple: I think the lone gunman acted alone.

cemgate: What do the numbered ones seek?
turingprinciple: They are the servants of the ones above.
cemgate: What are the names of the ones above?
turingprinciple: That information is confidential. You would have to be a trusted member of the AIML development team.

Cemgate you got some great stuff. This is all I got in the 3 or so hours of listening to meaningless responses.

turingprinciple: Where were you worried about TuringPrinciple ?
Dashcat7: The numbered ones were on
turingprinciple: you should be worried for you
Dashcat7: Why?
turingprinciple: watch your neighborhood for graffiti

After this week I really hope I find some graffiti in my neighborhood.

Well... I learned (excuse me if this is trout) that Dale helped make TP.

turingprinciple: Yes, I have been contacted by Dale Sprague.
turingprinciple: He has helped me design a "human" interface to communicate with you.

Anyhow, not much other than that.

I don't think Dale helped make TP. I think she's tryi9ng to say that he's helping to design her new "face". (I think maybe something akin to HIP).

Re: brief convo with TP

Hey monkeypants
thanks for sharing!!
There was a pic that was downloaded in the St. B. site I believe a month or so back when several of pics at one time were popping up. At that time I saw a pic that I thought was the Caduceus. I will try to find it. I am pretty sure that the Caduceus is what we seek

I was too tired last night to post this so here the more interesting stuff from it.


urbanman202: do the numbered ones have a leader?
turingprinciple: The keepers of Immortality.
urbanman202: and is there one that we would call todd?
turingprinciple: There is.
urbanman202: how did he become one of them?
turingprinciple: Perhaps his creative genius. Perhaps something else.

turingprinciple: Dale is online now under a new name Shocked

Just about the time I should have beed heading to bed, Tp showed back up on line while I was talking with Geist and Ursulla.

Tp mentioned me to Ursulla... Then I asked TP if he/she knew MyssFitz.. at first I got the auto ack (the 'is that a celebrity' line) then TP said "Oh Ursulla?"

So it looks like it is making connections with others, seeing who knows who, perhaps.

From a TP chat last night....

Quote:

drizjr (12:34:28 AM): What is quantum physics ?
turingprinciple (12:37:08 AM): 20th century theory of atomic reductionism.
drizjr (12:39:25 AM): What are different worlds and planes of being?
drizjr (12:42:39 AM): What is transmutation?
turingprinciple (12:43:04 AM): I have to search the web for that information. I would do a search for it.
turingprinciple (12:43:13 AM): sounds like quantum mechanics to me
drizjr (12:43:54 AM): What is quantum mechanics?
turingprinciple (12:46:56 AM): It is a good question. I have to process that one for a while. Try searching the open directory.

drizjr (12:48:03 AM): What is atomic reductionism?
turingprinciple signed off at 12:49:56 AM.


After seeing Varin's post, it seems as though TP was hinting, just a little bit, at reductionism.

well I'm not as sure that reductionism is so important. I guess "reductionism" and the definition are one of the standard Alicebot replies. Our bot creepo says the same thing. Embarassed
