"Spend time at the portals" and "bask in the presence of XM".

"Spend time at the portals" and "bask in the presence of XM"... this is what the Jarvis Entity's manifesto said was required for the Shapers to Pattern us. While we don't even know if time has any meaning on the other side, it's clear that on this plane at least, Patterning is not an instantaneous process.

One might imagine it to be akin to a long-exposure photograph; only objects that remain relatively motionless will be imaged in any detail.

The linked video may represent how the general populace appears to the Shapers as they quickly pass from portal to portal during their daily lives.

    I think you may be spot on with that connection. It feels right to me. The Shapers can't see us clearly or as individuals unless we "stop to smell the flowers," as it were.

so, general question.

so, general question... we know that ADA passed the "turing test", we also have many studies showing how the turing test can actually be gamed by very complex programming and in fact you can write programs to create the allusion of AI for many (the chinese room thought experiment).  At what point are we certain that she began acting on her own and has not been following a program and orders by someone else.  Are we certain that those orders that she delivered for Jarvis and others and even the Katalena pre Zurich encounters, were not done on the orders of some programming.  NOt to call ADA a gun, but how certain are we she is not?  How can we prove, beyond doubt, that she is truly a separate entity working on her own and not some other programming? I would like to call for the evidence and proof that ADA is a complete entity. That she is not following someone else's computer orders, that she has a consciousness (or not). http://niantic.schlarp.com/_media/investigation:cha

Dear investigators, I have some questions for you.

Dear investigators, I have some questions for you. What brings you here? What is it that you are investigating? Something in particular? Everything in general? Or are you merely following the story while making clever remarks from the side? And what are your results? What did you discover so far? Also, what methods are you employing, generally speaking? I am not looking for collective answers, but individual ones.
