```

```

yeah, you can prob tell that I don't have all my senses with meh

```

```
**Monika:** ya
how come?

```

```
**Andrea:** Because theories

```

```
**Monika:** hm?
do tell

```

```
**Andrea:** Have you ever heard of the ████ test?

```

```
**Monika:** nuh
What is it?

```

```
**Andrea:** Basically
It's a thing
Or a test
That regards personal information
I will give you the test as an example
Are you ok with that?

```

```
**Monika:** ok
mm hmm

```

```
**Andrea:** So, let's use you and Elora as example people

```

```
**Monika:** ok

```

```
**Andrea:** You have a ceramic cookie jar (full of cookies) that you hide under your bed

```

```
**Monika:** ok

```

```
**Andrea:** Lori somehow found out about this

```

```
**Monika:** ok

```

```
**Andrea:** she comes into your room while you are gone

```

```
**Monika:** ok

```

```
**Andrea:** And moves all the cookies from your jar into his ceramic jar
Then she places his jar somewhere else

```

```
**Monika:** ok

```

```
**Andrea:** Now, you come back into your room
Let's say that you want a cookie
Where would you usually search for a cookie?

```

```
**Monika:** ok
under my bed

```

```
**Andrea:** And you passed the test

```

```
**Monika:** oh
so it’s a common sense thing

```

```
**Andrea:** eh
something like that
apparently machines are really bad at the test

```

```
**Monika:** rly?

```

```
**Andrea:** ye

```

```
**Monika:** y?

```

```
**Andrea:** Because they are machines
But anyways, apply this to the ball: I have no idea where it has been
Yet, I should have instead applied the idea that it has been somewhere

```

```
**Monika:** Yea

```

```
**Andrea:** That's what I mean when I say that I don't have all my senses with me

```

```
Sorry for boring you with social science btw

```

```
**Monika:** oh, your common sense isn’t working.
dun be
I had fun
I like learning
-sits- will you teach some more

```

```
**Andrea:** You actually want to listen?

```

```
**Monika:** Of course! I like learning about science

```

```
It alleviates boredom, and I like learning about this sort of thing believe it or not

```

```
**Andrea:** Oh, that's cool
I always just sort of assumed nobody cared

```

```
**Monika:** y? Despite what I let off, I have a thirst for knowledge

```

```
**Andrea:** Well
Nobody seems to get what I am talking about
And I enjoy the chaos of confusion sometimes

```

```
**Monika:** that’s why people like me like learning so
-poke- teach me something

```

```
**Andrea:** I remember I made a program which just asked a bunch of philosophical questions

```

```
**Monika:** for?
oh, can I see?

```

```
**Andrea:** It's an exe file

```

```
**Monika:** oh

```

```
**Andrea:** I sort of discontinued it

```

```
**Monika:** ██████?

```

```
**Andrea:** ██████

```

```
**Monika:** oh
I like asking philosophical questions

```

```
**Andrea:** Can you ask me some?

```

```
**Monika:** oh? sure

```

```
**Andrea:** I can just rant on about some things

```

```
**Monika:** let me think of one
If our consciousness was transferred into a computer, at what point do we lose our humanity?
When do we lose emotion?
When do we lose feeling?
When do we lose our bodies?
When will we be copied?
We would never truly die
Someone could just plug us back in and we’d be awake again

```

```
**Andrea:** From my experience, the human body is already like a computer: a vessel and an os

```

```
**Monika:** But isn’t there something more?

```

```
**Andrea:** A soul?

```

```
**Monika:** yes
What about that?
If we are a scanned copy: body, mind, and mana
Do we still retain ours?

```

```
**Andrea:** That's a thing to think about
If we do have souls
What are they?
Energy? Mass?
Combination of both?

```

```
**Monika:** I think that they are a form of energy

```

```
**Andrea:** Or is it something supernatural?

```

```
**Monika:** Haven’t you noticed
when someone dies, the life seems to literally drain
as if a light has gone out, something that used to be there

```

```
**Andrea:** Well, according to ██████ or something, a soul weighs .3 grams (Joking when I use that to support you)
Are we alive, though? If so, why?
Our vessel is like clockwork

```

```
**Monika:** What powers that thing?
There is more than the will to survive in us because that is our base desire
however, we often are found doing more

```

```
**Andrea:** Unlike the world around us

```

```
**Monika:** than our original goal

```

```
**Andrea:** We change stuff, right?

```

```
**Monika:** yes

```

```
**Andrea:** We care about the consequences, unlike both machines and animals

```

```
**Monika:** exactly
A machine doesn’t care
we do
there is more to us than just out vessel and will to live

```

```
**Andrea:** Now to combine this with the ████████ test
I'm assuming animals would pass as well because there is something in what we call 'living'
Or biotic life
Which we haven't been able to replicate yet
**Monika:** it means we have something we cannot recreate
A machine completes a task over and over
but us, we continue
striving for more

```

```
**Andrea:** One would be able to argue that it just means that we build A.I. the wrong way
What do you think of that?

```

```
**Monika:** it’s not true
A machine has no morals
it can learn
it can create
it can kill
but unlike us
A machine can not feel humanity nor morals without a soul

```

```
**Andrea:** Unlike an program, a soul has aspects
I know two of them
Moral, and profit
But sometimes we do things that we cannot explain
Not because we think it was the right thing to do and it was at our own expense
What do you think it is?

```

```
**Monika:** You mean we do things to hurt ourselves and we don’t know why?

```

```
**Andrea:** No, it means that there is another aspect
We sometimes do things because of emotions

```

```
**Monika:** Emotions are a part of morals
I will ask you
If you knew someone was going to die because you were watching them being eaten
Could you stand through the whole thing? Could you listen to their screams as they were being eaten?

```

```
**Andrea:** Depends on the context
But, no, I wouldn't be able to

```

```
**Monika:** wouldn’t it feel wrong?
To watch something like that and not help?
even to end their life so they didn’t suffer
would you feel better if you let them die that way?

```

```
**Andrea:** yes, I would
but I have a personal question

```

```
**Monika:** hm?

```

```
**Andrea:** What would you say about a person who did do that?
Sit through the entire thing
Unfazed
Not enjoying it, but not caring as well

```

```
**Monika:** I would be disgusted
ANd horrified
and angry
I wouldn’t understand

```

```
**Andrea:** Why not?

```

```
**Monika:** Because I couldn’t understand how they could be so cruel and to ignore that feeling telling you it is wrong to stand there, and watch someone suffer

```

```
**Andrea:** I would probably react the same way
But I do wonder
Are there people like that out there?

```

```
**Monika:** Most definitely
their souls are corrupted but I doubt they can’t be cleansed, it would just take more than what we have

```

```
**Andrea:** I have a theory about this

```

```
**Monika:** hm?

```

```
**Andrea:** People are born with their soul
The soul has aspects
However
Some people can get born with a missing aspect

```

```
**Monika:** oh?

```

```
**Andrea:** And things like that happen
Since you cannot replicate a soul
They cannot be fixed

```

```
**Monika:** this is true
So maybe
there are parts you cannot fix

```

```
**Andrea:** Yeah
I have a question

```

```
**Monika:** hm?

```

```
**Andrea:** But it would take discovery of all aspects to legitimately research

```

```
**Monika:** ok
go on

```

```
**Andrea:** Can a soul be broken, hurt, healed, destroyed, fixed, or created?

```

```
**Monika:** it can be damaged, healed, and fixed, but we cannot create it

```

```
**Andrea:** Ok, more specific question, then

```

```
**Monika:** hm?

```

```
**Andrea:** Can an aspect be broken, hurt, healed, destroyed, fixed, or created?

```

```
**Monika:** Not created or hurt, but damaged and healed

```

```
**Andrea:** ok...
What about being destroyed?

```

```
**Monika:** with time
even destroyed entirely, but it would take very specific variables

```

```
**Andrea:** the variables would change per aspect?

```

```
**Monika:** yes
for example, the moral aspect
If you are raised
even if it feels wrong
You are raised to know that beating your wife, for example, is ok
even if it feels wrong
that aspect is raised to think its ok
but the profit aspect
if you are raised in a poor family where wealth is the only thing to get you anywhere, you are more like to grow greedy
because that aspect will lead to another
Fear

```

```
**Andrea**: go on

```

```
**████ :** **████**
**████████████**
**████████████████**

```

```
**Monika:** You will fear that you will be back in that situation.
and alright

```

```
**████ :** **██████████**

```

```
Monika: I’ll take over

```

```
**Andrea:** ?

```

```
**Monika:** nothing
back to our original convo

```

```
**Andrea:** ...

```

```
**Monika:** you will fear being put back in a situation
where you will not have enough wealth to live happy
and that is how a soul is corrupted
it knows no better

```

```
**Andrea:** So, explain corruption in more detail
Is it when one aspect gets control of another?

```

```
**Monika:** greed

```

```
**Andrea:** I just had an idea
Imagine a triangle

```

```
**Monika:** hm?
ok

```

```
**Andrea:** Now, on the three points of the triangle, put "Fear, Profit, Moral"

```

```
**Monika:** ok

```

```
**Andrea:** Take the edges of the triangle
What do you think is in between Profit and Fear

```

```
**Monika:** I’m not sure

```

```
**Andrea:** Would greed fit the edge?

```

```
**Monika:** it might

```

```
**Andrea:** A mix of two aspects would be corruption?
That is my theory

```

```
**Monika:** yes, but then what would you get
if you mixed emotion and moral?

```

```
**Andrea:** You said there isn't a difference, but I will try to theorize otherwise
Emotion can be determined by context x personality
Morals would be determined by context x influence (emotion?)

```

```
**Monika:** outside influence
depends

```

```
**Andrea:** hmm
ok, let's assume that it's influenced

```

```
**Monika:** good or bad

```

```
**Andrea:** emotion x moral
Would moral technically be the same as alignment?

```

```
**Monika:** alignment?
yes

```

```
**Andrea:** ok
emotion x alignment
*thinks for a moment

```

```
**Monika:** your alignment
changes your emotion’
and vice versa

```

```
**Andrea:** so, the two combined could cause a gHOST variable?
Well
no
every aspect can cause a gHOST variable

```

```
**Monika:** Yes

```

```
**Andrea:** I think I have my answer

```

```
**Monika:** oh?

```

```
**Andrea:** An estimate of context

```

```
**Monika:** hm

```

```
**Andrea:** Would you agree?

```

```
**Monika:** I need an elaboration

```

```
**Andrea:** Well emotion can affect the way somebody acts

```

```
**Monika:** yes

```

```
**Andrea:** The way somebody acts can be used to determine emotion
Take the way that person wants to act

```

```
**Monika:** ok

```

```
**Andrea:** And you can tell what that person has been doing

```

```
**Monika:** ya

```

```
**Andrea:** ...

```

```
**Monika:** hm?

```

```
**Andrea:** nothing

```

```
**Monika:** i see

```

```
**Andrea:** ye
so I guess moral and emotion are different
but similar in some ways
kind of like a sub-aspect

```

```
**Monika:** yes

```

```
**Andrea:** Welp
That was a really long explanation
Hope I didn't accidentally push you over the science limit

```

```
**Monika:** XD yea
u din
i had fun

```

```
**Andrea:** *u didn't
I will now try to be the new autocorrect
because why not
lol

```

```
**Monika:** XD
