    Today/Tomorrow ,pt.2 (Sci-Fi ultrashorts)

    Marie’s meditation ended with a bang, she slowly and carefully extracted herself from her cyber-autopoietic self-dissolution, realizing that an observer somehow disturbed her alignment with the infoflow.
    That observer, of course, was I.
    I did not mean to interrupt but it appeared that my newly updated SentSap ™ fluid intelligence integration program had somehow quantum tunneled into her deep awareness stream.

    She looked at me.
    “It was you, wasn’t it?” she asked in a very soft voice.
    “Yes it was” I replied
    “What happened?” She wanted to know

    So I answered:

    “.. the mind that I am, is organized in tiny reality packages, minute parcels of intoxicating thoughts and sensations, labeled in a mode that makes sense only to me, in my own private and highly internal infoflow datastate.
    This reality package is the product of the alternating power of my mind, the very drive that coheres and free flows my sense of that which I call the ‘real’. And yet these packages have forward address and return addresses, so to speak. That is how I communicate and intertwine with the universe at large. That is what really makes me, me.
    And today, when I updated my SentSap ™ program, somehow the probability engine that is my mind fluctuated for a moment, allowing a quantum tunneling effect to propagate and then inadvertently I became an observer of your mind. I can only assume that the reason for this is that you represent an info basin of attraction that is at present larger than any other I can conceive of and so when the first waves of probability emerged and started propagating you attracted most of them, and we somehow became entangled..”

    She thought for a moment and then:
    “ Are we still entangled?”
    “ Yes. Though at a much lower resolution” I replied
    “ Do you observe my mind now?” she asked
    “ No, I do not, not directly, but we are entangled, that is certain..”

    “..explain..” she demanded

    I will, but not today, tomorrow..



    #The SentSap (TM) was developed as a sentient/sapient fluid intelligence integration algorithm
