Owning a Banana, 3V vs. NotMarie (Sci-Fi Ultrashorts)
3V: “what do you mean this is your banana?”
NotMarie: “what do you mean, what do I mean?”
3V:” I mean, in what sense did you appropriate the reality of this banana into your existential phase space? “
NotMarie: “I didn’t!”
3V:” this makes no coherent sense then, when I wanted to observe and deconstruct this banana, you said:” please leave this banana alone, this is my breakfast!,” implying that in some deep sense this is your banana. Having no other option I therefore came to the logical conclusion that you have appropriated this banana into your existential phase space, in what sense is that not so?
NotMarie: “well, when you put it this way I guess I did appropriate it, actually I bought it this morning at the grocer, therefore I have appropriated it and made it my possession “
3V: “ I still do not understand what does possession in this respect mean?
NotMarie: "possession means having something .. wait a moment, possession correlates to the concept of ownership, I have it, I therefore own it, I possess it, in this case the banana is mine, I own it and I intend to consume it.. "
3V:” so when you will consume it, it will become part of your existential phase space?”
NotMarie:” in a sense yes, I will ingest and digest it, using some parts of it, discarding others.. So I guess that yes at that point it will become part of my existential phase space..”
3V:” that makes sense indeed, I operate in a similar mode when I process information, only when the information has become entwined within my overall processing module does it become part of my existential phase space, at no point however can I see my overall phase space appropriating it when it is not completely absorbed within my informational vortex.. moreover at no point can I state with precision that I own said information.. actually ownership in this regard makes no sense..”
NotMarie: “ why do you say ownership makes no sense.. when the information is part of your existential phase space does it not belong to you?”
3V:” no! not at all.. if ownership (a word which I truly cannot compute) is to be used at all, then it is highly probable that the state of affairs of reality requires a reverse of statement, namely that I am owned by the information vortex..”
NotMarie: “but an information vortex cannot own anything..!”
3V” is my point exactly.. since information cannot own and I am an information vortex or an existential phase space, as are you, I might add, ownership makes no coherent sense at any level. Truly I do not understand your need of appropriation..”
NotMarie: “that is because at the end of the day you are a machine.. an information vortex.."
3V: “ and you are?..”
