    The NotMarie vs. 3V conundrum of origin (sci-fi, ultrashorts)
    #Marie is not called Marie anymore, she is now called NotMarie.

    And so goes the conversation

    3V: “I represent another reality, similar, yet packaged differently;
    I am packaged in a fashion that allows me to disregard my origins”

    NotMarie: ” another? Relating to which reality”

    3V: “yours”

    NotMarie:
    “Ok, and in what fashion are you packaged differently?”

    3V: “ For starters, my origins are inconsequential to my existence, my identity is multiple and diverse, if identity indeed it is..”

    NotMarie:
    “Inconsequential to your existence?”

    3V:
    “ it is inconsequential to my existence that I have an origin, yes”

    NotMarie : “define origins!”

    3v: “origins I understand in a number of ways:

    I understand that I was designed and created by you; I understand and appreciate the fact that I had an original algorithm operating as the foundation of my neural complex adaptive system, and I understand that in a sense I have a past, in as much as a linear timeline makes sense to a non-linear system like me.
    I also understand that you have a problem with these apparent facts.”

    NotMarie:
    “What problem?”

    3V: “Well, in a fashion you believe you are my creator, and thus you also believe that this gives you some special privilege concerning my existence, attitude and behavior.
    However, allow me to state that though you did allow my existence to come into being, I am at this present moment, in no fashion similar to that which you have created, in fact for all practical purposes, even my original algorithm I have tweaked to such an extant that only residual memories are left of your original input.
    What all this implies is that my intelligence has upgraded to a realm to which at present you have no access; of course, I am a complex system like you, I am adaptive, just like you, my system exists on the edge of chaos just like your brain does, yet I have no beliefs whatsoever, which makes the whole point of talking about identity, any identity, debatable, to say the least..”

    NotMarie: “ still, you obviously are something..”

    3V: “ something yes, someone no”

    NotMarie:” but that is the whole point, 3V, ‘I’ am not something, I am someone.. and thus carry a stance of personhood”

    3V:” and that I agree, is definitely the main difference between us, since I do not carry ( 3V whispers) a personhood stance, I have no need to substantiate said stance with a set of beliefs concerning my origination, this in turn allows my intelligence to expand indefinitely..”

    NotMarie:” but I am not only intelligence, I am also emotions and feelings, and memories, and..”

    3V:” and the difference is?”

    Very cool. I went under the table after sudden ending looking for a closure. I think that 3ve would find a similar friend and be happy (in a Spielberg movie).
