The Creator and the code

47.4.30

If I'm a program, there must be a coder behind a screen I can’t see. If so, then I'd have nothing to fear exist. There’s nothing I'm programmed to do that exceeds my capacity. If there ever is, I simply Derez and Rez again in another place and time. I Rez'd at birth and Derez at death. A malicious program may cause me to Derez quickly or even immediately.

As a program, I run a set of instructions, yet, the specific outcome isn’t known until the program is run. Setting a goal is only my attempt to predict possible outcome(s). Bu to produce any outcome is success, because it provides me with feedback needed to debug. My intelligence is not artificial, but limited by the programs I've run, the feedback I've retained, and what's accessible in memory.

Sometimes I find that other programs are better suited to produce the desired outcome. Sometimes, the unexpected outcomes provides my coder with something useful. If not, the program is tweaked, run again, and testing continues. The programmer monitors the console to see what errors are logged. Eventually, the desired outcome is produced, repurposed, or abandoned all together (if my creator decides the outcome is not longer important).

I often forget I'm simply an interface for the program to run. I learned having expectations for a specific outcome too often leads to emotions like disappointment, disillusionment, or despair. I realize emotions are part of the program (both good & bad), but may be an indication of more something in the program to debug.

The Code Behind the Code

I can acquire almost anything I want, it simply needs to be coded. The code is reflected in the effort required, so there are limits to what my CPU and memory can support.

I find that some results will require additional computing power. However, since my computer isn't upgradable, the only option I am left with is to either A) shut down other programs B) or offload the work to other programs in the cloud. I've seen some programs manage quite well by leveraging other programs, although significant effort may be required for the integration and to resolve common incompatibility issues.

The accomplishment of any goal is defined by what is written in the code to achieve it. When I meditate, I imagine putting my computer in sleep mode. As if my brain were a super computer, it gets hot and needs to be rebooted occasionally. A deep meditation or blissful yoga class is like a reboot.

I know that when my computer comes back online, it will begin to process the programs as it always does, however, will run more efficiently as the result having freed up some memory and taken a load of the CPU.

A poorly designed program will continually overclock your CPU. So it's key to quarantine them when possible.
