Dr. Alfred Lanning

there have always been ghost in the machine.
random segments of code...
...that have group together to form unexpected protocols.
unanticipated, this free radicals engender questions of free will...
...creativity...
...and even the nature of what we might call the soul.
why is it that when some robots are left in darkness, they will seek out the light?
why is it that when some robots are stored in an empty space...
they will group together rather than stand alone?
how do we explain this behavior?
random segments of code?
or is it something more?
when does a perceptual schematic, become consciousness?
when does a difference engine, become the search for truth?
when does a personality simulation...
...becomes the bitter mote of a soul?
