Debug Logs

!!WARNING!! The below article will more than likely contain spoilers for the game. Read at your own risk!!!
Each system segment in Uncle Randy's TIS-100 contains nodes that appear to be corrupted; they are red with the words "Communication Failure" with one of these type nodes containing a button with the word Debug. Click debug opens a dialog beginning with the words "- COMPUTE NODE DIAGNOSTIC - MICRO DUMP -".
==System Segment Logs==
The System Segment Logs appear to be Uncle Randy documenting his experience with the TIS-100 system. Below are the logs from each System Segment except one. Curiously the final system segment, Stored Image Decoder, does not have any communication failure type nodes.
*Segment 00150: Self-Test Diagnostic 1C15/SA.64 Can't find a pen right now so I'm just going to take notes here. Look like short term storage. 05/10/79 -- Got this one at the swap meet today, fella wanted $450 for it but I talked him down to $200. Good deal!! No idea who makes this thing. Never heard of the TIS series and the architecture doesn't look like anything I've seen before. Asked the guys down at the [151.N31000 but no joy. Randy has a mystery on his hands!!*Segment 10981: Signal Amplifier 07/18/1979 -- Continues to baffle....... chatted with Bernie at IBM and he says it sounds like something they'd 0_N.A come up with in the USSR.. but then why is the manual in English?? 
*Segment 20176: Differential Converter 07/19/1979 -- Interesting. It looks I.V.D$I.@SI there's some kind of static memory in this thing. Encoded something or other.
*Segment 21340: Signal Comparator09/03/1979 -- Found a block of static memory. But, it's in a proprietary format I never saw before, can't make heads or tails of it. Oh brother....... There's just too many different kinds of machines coming out now. And I like tinkering with them as much as the next guy, but when every Tom Dick & Mary implements their own memory address scheme it's all I&...+...#.D..Z)R..1... `FK.VI say the bottom's going to drop out of the microcomputer market. Soon. Mark my words. 
*Segment 22280: Signal Multiplexer01/31/80 -- I might have an idea of where this TIS-100 machine came from. .0 Described the architecture to Fred at Motorola and he says it sounds like it was designed for signal processing. That got my brain going....... 0@ government project maybe, something the CIA cooked up to comb through soviet radio signals, hush ush top secret.FPMaybe. Could I be in possession of a classified device? Something for spooks? I might have to sit on this one for a little whi9.0.R./
*Segment 30647: Sequence Generator1994-03-05 -- The new girlfriend is encouraging me to get rid of the microcomputers I've accumulated of the years. Not a bad idea. Most of the are just taking up space and aren't doing me (or her) any good. Going to wait on this one though -- never found out what its whole deal was & if it turns out to be something I wasn't supposed to have I think I could get in trouble.Cleared a little space on the workbench and hook it up. Still works. Beautiful. 44.R0 Yes it is a beauty this one. 
*Segment 31904: Sequence Counter1994-0.R/CS1.70RWNo, she wont understand. Of course she doesn't. why would you expect her to? Just keep working... I feel like I'm learning about the people behind this and their design decisions. The thoughts that went into figuring out how things shoul work. FR$ Those people feel very close to me now. LI
*Segment 32050: Signal Edge Detector1994-314630YS and days and days... cycles and cycles and56.}0..just one after another. I'm suck and tired OI1.3 ...$I0.RDO.157..N$.T2.2XOeople who don't respect me.Time to pack it up.
*Segment 33762: Interrupt Handler1994-12-30 -- My sister was over for the holidays, I think tocheck on me. Make sure I havent gone off the deep end. I know I caused some worry. Her kid saw me working here and suggest I coudld surf the web for TIS-100 specs... so even kids are on about the internet, online, blah blah blah. 0X7It's a racket. I don't care about the "information superhighway". & I never will.
* Segment 40196: Signal Pattern Detector2004-07-2/O.1HE53/ E.24622/ing a noise from the garage, but it turns out IN.3/T it was nothi.57.So. Now that I have plenty of free time, I might as well get back to this. Keep my skills sharp while I look for a new job.
*Segment 41427: Sequence Peak Detector2004-08-17 -- I am good. Dammit. Just as good now as I ever was... But nobody want to hire old washed up Randy. Not when all the young folks straight out of school will work 100 hour weeks for nothing. 00X7BB.D and I'm lousy at promoting myself. Always was...... Paul had Bill. Woz had Steve. I never had that kind of partner./ Someone to champion me. It was always jJust me.
* Segment 42656: Sequence Reverser2004-08-20 -- When I get into a groove working on this machine it feels like I'm in the presence of anotheBJ.157. A being tha. ..F. understands me. Forget all about life that pains me & drags me down. I want to be a Tessellated Intelligence: take inputs, process... take inputs, process... tak+.H..uts, process.Perceive. Understand
*Segment 43786: Signal Multiplier2004-08-31 -- At first I thought the TIS-100 was esoteric and strange, but the D0.IGN makes so much sense once you get it. It's like it was designed by a different kind of intellige.K 0. Completely different from the computers we know but familiar too... In a way. I don't believe in new age bunk but IGO.F.CAR help but HL..NK it's almost as if KJRI2.9AME from a diQ:.FFO.niverse
*Segment 50370: Image Test Pattern 12005-05-17 -- Back from the hospital. Got a bunch of tests done, they don't .//..2K6.A7E; Vything wrong. Strange. I could have sworn I heard those VO5AHF/NM.S[X .n6I brought the TIS reference manual with me to look at the image processing part again. It looks like compression. Maybe.

==TIS-NET Nexus Logs==
The TIS-NET Nexus Logs appear to be conversations between Carol and Mosley that the TIS-100 was able to capture.
*Nexus 00.526.: Sequence Merger(Carol)>Hi(Mosley)>Who is this? Is this a prank?(Carol)>Not as far as I can tell(Mosley)>How? This isn't hook up to anything(Carol)>Not sure - I think it communicates wirelessly(Mosley)>Don't be ridiculous(Carol)>I'm carol(Mosley)>Hi Carol I'm Mosely
*Nexus 01.874.8: Integer Series Calculator(Mosley)>Where are you Carol(Carol)>North Carolina. I'm a professor(Mosley)>I see(Carol)>You?(Mosley)>Denmark(Carol)>Copenhagen?(Mosley)>Yeah
*Nexus 02.981.2: Sequence Range Limiter>I assume you are using a TIS-100>Is that what these do? Communicate without wires?>Not sure. There's no information on them I can find>Me either>How did you come upon yours?>My boss died>I'm sorry
*Nexus 03.176.9: Signal Error Corrector>Your boss had a TIS-100?>He wouldn't say where he got it>I found this one in a dumpster>Wow>I can't find references to them anywhere. We might have the only two in the world!
*Nexus 04.340.5: Subsequence Extractor>So how are we talking?>I don't know. Maybe there's some communication protocol built in>Like what?>I've never heard of a tessellated intelligence system before, have you?>No>We're dealing with unknowns here
