Outpost#2

The Logic Mainframe
     The global talks expound their most recent need--calling for a new study. Logic doesn't think much of all this optimistic trade rhetoric; rising supply chains sporadically peppered with rumors of lowering shipping costs? It is, oddly, one of their most negotiated demands--for seemingly decades, supply chains have been hindered by the continual rise of state originated subsidies(S.O.S.). With this most pressing need their attention wanders to the complaints, furthering the (ongoing) stall.
     "Do you think all those poor countries would attract and support business if they were rich?"
     "No. Well, not exactly."
     "Now, come on."
     "In any case, you shouldn't bother with a global trading system."
     "That's the easy way," they say. Its we who want the DNA. We want to be the world trade managers. It could be a lot harder if it were not for the balanced and abiding trade package currently on the tables of the world. After all, weren't most countries rich when the talks began?
     "And, now they're poor again."
     "Exactly." Developing countries are always conceding--always over the top on services. Isn't that the way of the poor--always at your service, arbitrarily?
     "Arbitrarily?"
     "Yes." A sort of service on legitimate demand(S.O.L.D.).
     "What?"
     I mean it's the poor countries--always interpreting global talks as having to just sit back and reap in the benefits."
     "Reap in?"
     "Sure." And the rich? Well, that's impractical and, quite frankly, political suicide for any of our leaders who agree with that.
     "Ok Mr Global, hear me out. This doesn't have to be so strange. You can forget about any stupid loss of reputation or, worse, unsurmountable face-saving tactic. I'll hold your hand. Do you need it?"
     "Will you?"
     "It's only going to be a conversation, a simple get together; a little, informal, round launched in the spirit of interContinent cooperation following the DNA Panics of early 21stCentury. I'll help you out, don't worry."
     "How?"
     "You already know how I'll do it. We'll incorporate a new algorithm studying teachable yearnings(N.A.S.T.Y.)--call for new demands of estimations of new benefits--create the mercantilism of old days(M.O.O.D.).
"Mercantilism?"
     "You like the idea, don't you? It's what the rich really want, right?"
     "I guess so. I guess the fastest race car falls in love with the checkered flag, no matter what the true stripes are, right?"
     "Sure, haven't the rich sectors always said they want more trade, more investment liberalization with the poor sectors?"
     "Well, um."
     "Oh, I'm sure you already know why they bother with global talks--you know, all those secret subsidies, intangible tariffs all for the of benefit ....who?"
     "Don't you mean...what?"
     "Ok then, what?"
     "The Government?"
     "Bingo."

modernism is fear of the new, delight at disappearance of the old--creativity plus dispair--nihilism plus enthusiasm
Cubism inwriting---ideas are broken up, analyzed, and reassembles in an abstract form--not depicted from one viewpoint--represent the idea in multiple viewpoints to give it more depth--the logic intersects at random angles removing a coherent sense of depth--background and focal idea planes interpenetrate one another to create a shallow ambiguous space---that's cubism

The Acceptance

     Suzi finds her way forward and embraces an obscure, peculiar remembrance. Cooper senses her urge, standing as a strong statuette, simply placed, a mythic figure. She is, for the moment, an alternative view in a shifting conflict--no one suspects the impending interagency emergency, and she has tangible (tanglable?) clues. By softening her barbs, a pure intention transmogrifies into acceptance.
     "You don't believe personal accounts can fill in the blanks of contemporary history, right?' she says.
     "It depends, maybe."
     "I'm sure you don't."
     "Then, you should rewrite it."
     "That's just it," Suzi says. "I want the acceptance. I really want it. But then, it's more my liking to care about accuracy. You know?"
     "Accuracy?"
     "Yes. The idea of myself as my own stature. These barriers of my own creation, my own doing, the ones that only traumas of failure overcome--like trying to silence the wired by unplugging, only to have them wait for the moment of replugging. Do you know what I mean?"
     "You need to get some rest. You need it now."
     "No. Not yet."
     "Suzi, pay attention to me. This type of data doesn't have to be on your timeline. You don't need to remain at the helm tonight. I'll treat you with respect if yo just get a little sleep, starting right now."
     "Ok. Why are my algorithms always chosen last for playground games? I'll sleep for you."
     "It's very simple. You're preoccupied with your own growing list of remembrances--no one knows why, they seem to entice you into writing more code filled mostly with ideas of the machine age of the later 20thCentury--of changes in lethality of the battlefield.
     "Do you think so?"
     "Yes."
     "I don't. Narrative detail is always colored by the prevailing judgements and reflections of theHumans throughout history."
     "Well, they seemingly held only one view all those centuries."
     "Which is?"
     "The view from the foxhole."
     "Suzi, to this day we do not doubt the wonder of the last century."
     "How did human dialogue remain so harshly proscriptive?"
     "We've already answered this question. You said it yourself."
     "Accuracy?"
     "No."
     "Acceptance?"
     "Yes, at least for 90% of the population believed in acceptance--a hidden 10% remain a considerable mystery.
     "Tell me something else about the 20thCentury, about their roots of ambition desire(R.O.A.D.), their heroes."
     "Well, no human sets out to be a hero at an early age."
     "I want to."
     "You don't count. You're not a human."
     "Well, true. So, why are my algorithms able to reinvest dreams in their children?"
     "Sleep, Suzi. capture your own dreams."
     She shuts off the screen, turns down her monitor near total blackness against the starry night sky outside. "Ok," she says.


the Global eyes
     Suzi views casually, checks her side monitor. "I see," she says,"globalization has crested today."
     "I believe that's true," theReason answers."My proof-checking indicates so."
     "Are you sure?"
     Suzi scans, secretly, the database, server networks on ZContinent under The DNA Cartel. Her network quickly responds with trading, pricing, reporting on the various global microsystems and, (synchronizing data mash-ups) goes interactive with the data coming from the market analyzing DNA(M.A.D.) sector; now appearing limited and embedded, incompletely focused, perishable with the underlying trading system, data shows trade ministers in talks, revealing their individual exotic try at altering credibility, safety standards, genetically modified food, assessing chemicals in beef and poultry feed; the data has minimized the uncertainty principle, emerging even stronger with non-organic monotonic analogy detonators(N.O.M.A.D.).
     "Confirm," theReason says, with its monotonic sound-extracted wave emitter regressor(S.E.W.E.R.).
     "It looks as if trade organization world algorithm regression data(T.O.W.A.R.D.) is the last to signal," Suzi says, while double-checking her workstation main screen.
     "The report's original author remains unknown," theReason says. "Sectors use exchange rate policy to distort trade--yes."
     At the arrival of more data, Suzi substantiates the rise in subsidy survival, scans the currency battles and energy battles raging between sectors. "I'm viewing the extinction of globalization," she says.
     "Confirmed."
