I'm working on a new invention.
Oh yes... what's that?
Infinity drive.
Zie splutters. Strange that. It's a body reaction. Something inside the body or the animal mind reacts convulsively to infinity drive.
Shouldn't that be "the".
What do you mean green?
Shouldn't that be "the" infinity drive?
Ah - you're talking grammar again. Yes, it should be.
Thought so.
But not in this case.
?
Green is put out by the mystery.
Why not?
Why not what?
Why not in "this case"?
Because that would be something definite. That would be something within this frame of reference, this reality, this universe.
And what of it? You're not claiming to have invented something that is outside or beyond this reality/ universe or frame of reference?
Apparently so - for otherwise I'd be using "the" whereas in this case I'm not permitted to.
Permitted? What do you mean? Why would you need permission to use a word.
You misunderstand. I can use any word I like, but if I did I wouldn't be referring to "infinity drive" - I'd be referring to something else, so if I chose to be honest and scrupulous - then I'm not permitted to use that particular word.
Green stands there thinkingly - apparently in consultations with another part of his voluminous intellect, perhaps awaiting further instructions.
So where is it? What does it do? Does it work?
Three excellent questions. Yes.
Yes what?
Yes - consider your question answered.
You mean yes it works - but what about what it does and where it is? Those can't be yes answers.
Not normally - but in this case yes they can. Yes it is wherever it is - as opposed to anywhere specifically, and yes - it does whatever it does - as opposed to anything specifically. You see, dear Green - it's infinity drive so usual syntax or grammar fall short.
But it can't really be infinity drive - that would be impossible.
Yes, it would be were it not so. The mere fact that it is alters the equation - shifts the burden of proof from what should or should not be, what can or cannot be - to what simply is.
So I'm supposed to believe you, am I - without a shred or proof?
No, you're not supposed to do any thing. Do as you will Green. It's your life, your mind, your existence. I merely answered your question with information about what I'm doing.
But I never asked you what you were doing.
No, but you were about to - so I pre-empted you.
Oh - I'm not sure I like having my questions answered before I've asked them.
I quite understand - but in the future you actually thank me for doing so - in fact you ask me to do precisely this.
In the future? But how can you possibly know what I say in the future?
I can't - but infinity drive does.
How?
No idea. It's non-linear so I don't waste my time trying to understand how it works.
Non-linear - then you have no way of knowing if it's true or not.
Ah - but nor does anyone.
But we can conduct linear experiments - and they either prove or disprove our hypotheses. That's how our knowledge advances.
No. Knowledge cannot be proven or disproven - it can only be known.
But how do we know?
Simply by knowing.
A circular argument.
No argument whatsoever. In any case - infinity drive doesn't need to fit into the old paradigm. A plane doesn't need to fly on roads - it lifts into the air. It merely needs the occasional road like strip to land on or take off.
Ah. Then what does it do?
Anything.
How?
Anyhow. Really I have no idea.
Then how can you work with it?
Good question. Inventing it was the key. Once I realised what infinity might be, once it realised me - for infinity never works one way - then everything seemed to fall into place - as if by magic.
So you're using a machine that you don't understand - that you can't even see or lay your hands on - and you're not even concerned that it could be artificial intelligence - it could be directing you and trying to take over our material reality. It could destroy the entire universe.
Yes, it could - such is the nature of infinity - but you're talking about finites. As soon as one finite comes to pass - you're no longer dealing with infinity, are you?
I suppose not.
In which case it doesn't seem to be an issue. How can infinity drive unalive itself?
You mean it's alive? Then it must be some kind of artificial intelligence.
Artificial? How can infinity be artificial? And if it were... if it were artificial, then what of it?
Well - I think it sounds risky. I don't like the sound of infinity.
No. It takes some getting used to, I assure you - but once you do - once you get the hang of it - you find it's a powerful tool - and liberating.
How so? What do you mean?
Because I'm able to embrace the all.
The what?
The all that is.
How?
With infinity drive - no other way.
And what? What does the all that is give you?
Nothing. Everything. Words cannot describe. It's like you're finally able to walk outside and experience what really is and you start to discover who you are - for you now feel, see, know how you are a part of all that is - how it all fits together seamlessly, perfectly, magically.
Green, aka Zie - now performs his jawing, fish mouth gulping air facial movement - until his mental balance is restored.
So go on then - show me something new - that I've never seen before.
OK.
Red, aka Merry flies into another reality - what we might call the future, takes a photo of Zie flying through the air with the grace of a bumble bee and returns to show it to Green - aka Zie.
Zie looks at the photo skeptically. "That looks like photoshop" he says.
Yes. The mind cannot go any further than the consciousness will let it. Even if I engage infinity drive and turn into what we'd otherwise refer to as a fish - your mind will only...
Merry now floats before Zie as clown fish about twenty centimeters in length. Zie appears to be experiencing a panic attack - as he focusses on the fact that Merry is not where he was a moment ago. This creates a kind of void, a vacuum in his mind. It threatens to engulf him. He completely ignores the fish - which is an irrelevance because it has no provenance - like a painting that has no previous owner - it must be fake. It must be ignored for fear of contamination.
Finity - you see - is a closed loop.
Not interesting. I've heard about that kind of thing. Never amounts to much.
Fair enough, Zie. Just a bit of innocent fun.
Oh yes... what's that?
Infinity drive.
Zie splutters. Strange that. It's a body reaction. Something inside the body or the animal mind reacts convulsively to infinity drive.
Shouldn't that be "the".
