Notes - consistency / Socrates /

         After noon. Carol left for lunch with two of her friends and you recently finished your forty minutes of exercises. Paul is excited that you are excited about ordering the new TV. Now that is off the list you are returning to more creative times; mostly with the notion of what to do with Socrates. – Amorella

         1235 hours. First, I am going through book one to see where Socrates is mentioned and/or plays a part, if he does. I have no idea. Consistency in character, like you say, is very important. Well, there is Robert Louis Stevenson’s The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde – most always exceptions pop up now and then.  

         You are thinking about lunch, boy. Later. Post. - Amorella

         While and after eating you watched part one of “D-Day in HD” as told through survivors of the battle on the History Channel. This is by far the best video (90 minutes) you have ever seen on the subject and you haven’t watched part two yet. Earlier, yesterday you were reading the July/August issue of Discover and were intrigued by several articles, one, and the “Out there “column, ‘The Ups and Downs of Teleportation’ by Corey S. Powell. – Amorella

         1445 hours. The concluding paragraph of the article, page 84, states:

** **
         “Note a fascinating thread through all the possibilities. Whether you regard yourself as a pile of atoms, a DNA sequence, a series of sensory inputs or an elaborate computer file, in all of these interpretations you are nothing but a stack of data. According to the principle of unitarity, quantum information is never lost. Put them together and the two statements lead to a staggering corollary: At the most fundamental level, the laws of physics say you are immortal.”

Selected from Discover, “Out There”, June/July 2014, p. 84

         Mid-afternoon. You are at the park. Carol is walking. You are thinking on Socrates’ character. – Amorella

         1534 hours. I did not find ‘Socrates’ mentioned once. For this I am very much surprised. I would have bet ten dollars his name was in there at least once. I checked Pythagoras and found him three or four times. I suppose that is whom I was thinking of.

         Socrates was in Braided Dreams, boy. Check it out. – Amorella.

         1622 hours. You are correct. Your character Soki is speaking of “Socrates” at the conclusion of Chapter Fourteen. Amazing.

         You are home after a stop at Graeters and at Kroger’s on Tylersville. In a short time you and Carol are off to the local Brazenhead Pub – built entirely in Ireland and shipped to Ohio.


         Dusk. After dinner you watched the first episode of “Murder in the First” a new series on TNT and the news. All for tonight, boy. We will pick up on chapter 2.2 tomorrow. Relax. Post. - Amorella
