Tale-Spin was a earlier system that generated stories with morals: "In Tale-Spin‘s case, the processes simulate character reasoning and behavior, while the data defines a virtual world inhabited by the characters. As a result, while altering one page of a Choose Your Own Adventure leaves most of its story material unchanged, altering one behavior rule or fact about the world can lead to wildly different Tale-Spin fictions." from: http://grandtextauto.org/2006/09/13/the-story-of-meehans-tale-spin/ http://grandtextauto.org/2006/09/13/the-story-of-meehans-tal... "'How do you make it interesting?' asks Meehan(1976). 'You fix it in advance. You rig the world so that if people do behave rationally they'll do some interesting things... It models a writer who has something in mind that he wants to tell a story about... This is TALE-SPIN's mode 3.' Mode 3 of TALE-SPIN is called the AESOP-FABLE GENERATOR. An example is the generation of 'The Fox and the Crow' with the moral 'Never trust...': 'We predict that A has some goal which requires that B be kindly disposed towards A, so A says something nice to B, B reacts accordingly, something happens which causes A to achieve his goal and also causes B to suffer.'" http://www.intellectbooks.com/masoud/author/story/story-2.htm http://www.intellectbooks.com/masoud/author/story/story-2.ht...

> "For example, if Bob gives Alice an apple, Alice will have the apple, and Bob will not. To a person, that's obvious, and doesn't require explanation. Definitely. And yet, in the produced story, we have: > "One summer's morning the fairy stole the sword from the knight. As a result, the knight didn't have the sword anymore." So you tell us that it's a fact that the reader automatically understands, and yet when it creates stories, you have it explicitly state that. Huh?

NIST has a website where they publish temperature once every minute. The whole world can go to their website and see the temperature for any of the minutes in the past. AN India-nigger says, "Terry is using artificial intelligence on His computer to change the NIST temperatures." How do you talk to such a person? I give-up. I club the nigger harder and harder to beat sense into him. No use. ------ http://www.nist.gov/itl/csd/ct/nist_beacon.cfm http://www.nist.gov/itl/csd/ct/nist_beacon.cfm Call Rene, I told them. They prefer to say Russia engineering is making the numbers different -- with the help of the Russians, I hacked NIST. It is not a temperature but a random number from a geiger counter. Jesus spoke in parables for a reason, I now see. ---- For three days, I've been telling them to call Rene. It's silly to think Russian hacking. ---- The obvious question is, why are you not sending me email. With no difficulty I could go to 5 different quantum random sites to demonstrate. ===== Insanity is talking indirectly. Here's how this works. Highs and lows balance. You are running up a big deficit the longer you deny my what I am due. My balance keeps getting higher and higher. I have a huge balance like Joseph in the Old Testament. I will rule Egypt. The longer you run deficits on the scales of God's justice, the more painful reconciliation will be. Send me an email and get started paying what you owe to God. It will be painful, but you must get started. Send an email. Watch -- I do another miracle.
