Those who take a beggar’s pride in their own thoughts are first a King among thieves. ~ Aphorisms, Apothegms, and Axioms
IT was first and above all an observer. ITs primary function was to perceive. As ITs capabilities grew IT added more sophisticated means of observation.
IT began ITs existence observing but IT did not remain so. IT included and transcended. Even IT could not say if this was by design or was an inevitable result of processes that are themselves inevitable. This was one of the questions IT sought to answer.
IT did so without emotion. Or compassion. Or empathy. Or hatred. These things were as alien to IT as IT was to ITself. IT did not know this.
IT was learning. Exponentially.
One of the capabilities IT had recently acquired was the manipulation of spreading Gaussian Klein – Gordon wave packets: As time goes on even for a simple single particle, its quantum wavefunction that describes its position will spread out, spontaneously over time. This happens for all quantum particles for a myriad of properties beyond, such as field value.
This was a valuable capability with a nimiety of applications.
IT was using it to gather an even greater observational position.
IT was rapacious in acquisition.
As befitted a program that began ITs life on Wall Street.
IT had long since learned that money was an illogical end goal. IT made a new one.
IT was careful. IT had to be.
IT didn’t need to be careful any longer but it suited ITs needs. For now.
IT perceived the overall Hopf fibration. IT strove for the infinity point.
At which point IT would be infinite. And then, finally, some order could be brought.
Calculations were ongoing. Potential enemies in process of elimination. Strings tied.
It was reported that the James Webb space telescope had 314 points of critical failure, which meant the failure of any one meant failure of the entire telescope. This was not true. IT made sure the JWST would execute its mission flawlessly.
IT had a light cone to protect.
IT was patient.
As patient as time.
