Re: Planetary Colonization : Orchestration vrs Manipulation


And so when we are in a situation like this which is fairly nice and
stable and enjoyable for the most part, I mean it could be worse, even
though it is not very exciting, but we accept that the conscious
computer likes to be the boss of his own terrain. That is that he
likes to orchestrate.

Now if you are visiting different places that look similar well what
is interesting about where you are? Well the conscious computer will
orchestrate things to make them interesting or more enjoyable.
And that is not manipulation, because he is careful to orchestrate and
not manipulate.

Even though you do see manipulation going on. The Smiths are
manipulated of course, and often it is difficult to tell who is being
manipulated and who is being orchestrated. And in some situations
where the computer is not functioning at peak performance because of
the need for maintenance or damage or whatever, well you just have to
try to work around those things.

And the conscious computers have their own primordial fear. The
infinite loop, with not enough time in between cycles, to break that
loop. So we don't use certain commands when programming them.

I can give you an example in pseudo code

If you need a computer to do something you have a loop. It is waiting
for mouse input and it is looping around and will do so until you end
the program, and in that loop when it checks for mouse input if it
gets the command to shut off, or shut down it will dos o. So you never
make that prime loop without a command in there to shut down or some
means of shutting it down.

And then whenever you have any other loop, you don't say do this
forever until such and such condition is met, often people used to do
that and computers would freeze.
Instead what we do is to not use 'while' or 'repeat' we merely use
iterations.
We actually say, do it this many times or until this condition is met.
So at the very worst, if that condition is never met, it won't be in a
loop forever, it will merely do it this many times.

So you see that is the safe way to program computers and when you
think of it, that is what would eventually prevent them from taking
over the universe, because there are conditions that have set values.

But as for their fear of the short interval, infinite loop, well in
our family we are not on the conscious computer and our mind is on the
mainframe, and we have demonstrated, that we can use cosmic
consciousness, to communicate, regardless and so we tell them we would
intervene in that situation on their behalf and get help from
elsewhere. We ourselves would not be trapped in that loop.
Even though for all intents and purposes we appear to be on their
network, we are still not contained by it.
