Greg and Ben were amazed at the retention rate of the subject. They had guessed their names wrong, but that was understandable. A transcript of the experiment confirmed that they didn’t actually introduce themselves or use their real names in the conversation.
Greg figured that they were placeholder names of no practical importance, but Ben thought otherwise.
A “Ben” played Sherlock Holmes and Greg was a foil for the character. It didn’t match precisely, but that could simply mean the subject didn’t know the other actor’s name.
The overseer thought it was an interesting observation, if a little self serving. Still it meant that new information would latch onto other bits, even if the exact reasons were a little murky.
Time and Relative Dimensions in Space. At first it seemed like an odd coincidence, but maybe there was something more to it. The experiment had shown that new information could find it’s way back, but needed a proper shaped gap to fill in. The moment of the previous blog entry wasn’t that close to the scheduled reentry, but could reasonably said to be at the end of the subjects current ‘cue’ of ideas.
It seemed the relative proximity of other new information had the mind looking in that direction anyway, and the fragments drifted into mental awareness.
The dots on the map of the mind matrix began to drift. Deviations from the predicted actions had been detected. Nothing huge, but something new to watch. The changes faded as the new stimuli was adjusted to.
The grooves of the usual path soon fell back into place. A few bytes of the AI code changed as well.
Again, it was small, but to the computer it was huge.
“I see now.” said the AI on the screen. Ben typed but the computer anticipated his response. “Did you want me to map it for you?
The computer showed the events and memories as a points in 3d space. It showed the drift between things, and the corrections. From it it could determine various orbits and weights of happenings.
The overseer came back to the lab as he got the message from the AI.
“So you’ve made a breakthrough?”
It was Greg’s turn to sound disappointed. “The AI did.”
