Just some thoughts I originally posted as a comment to Gavin Treadgold's posts about the possibility of Easter Island artifact.

Thinking on this, I realized the location fits in with a lot of the discussions I have seen in hangouts and here in g+ recently: so perhaps considering this will add value to other research on other historical zones, figures and events.

Easter Island makes sense for many reasons; given the history and theories as to why the prosperous thriving island culture wiped itself out so quick (prevailing theories are that they drained the environment in, amongst other things, a tribal war to build and prominently place the biggest head to mark a tribes 'mana' or importance... cutting down the lush forests of the time to use as rollers for moving and placing them.)

It is a cautionary tale for humanity... To not overreach for particular goals, as some goals can entirely halt and prevent a culture from succeeding ever again... Perhaps even destroy it.

When Explorers found the island the forests were gone and the population scattered and with only the slightest hints of the rich culture buried below and in the past. 

Practically speaking in terms of agents and all, totally an amazing challenge it would be... But thematically given what recursion is all about, it's a nice tie in, in theme with current season.

What happens if you plant an artifact on a South Pacific Island and no-one comes? Easter Island sure is a looooooong way from anyway! ;) #Recursion

    If Rongo-Rongo encoded any glyphs, most examples of the writing were already destroyed, sadly.

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...

Essex members as you are aware essex and our member Lukas Lentz  credibility ,  were attacked by the Global Data Analysis Group. It is in our interest to show our unity as independent researchers now more than ever. Today earlier a post was made with me ( Hugo Neves ) as it's writer in order to make sure we had a fast reply out there. It is in our interest that we show our unity by signing our names to one post . The question I make is do we use the same post or a new one for this Also please today try and make posts or sign in the main Niantic one with the following hashtag #TrustLukas To show support for our colleague Lukas Lentz  https://plus.google.com/101577681173166935630/posts/XxjSGChLb5x

I am beginning to catalogue a list of Transdimensional Objects which appear to be inert artifacts, but, in fact, have actual technological capabilities when exposed to XM or present in a Nest.  Let us start with  the Shōnin Stone (which I believe to be broken at this point).  We know that it functions as something analogous to part of a circuit board or a key, depending on how you perceive it.  There is also Azmati's Dagger (or is it Alexander the Greats, I can't remember) that was used to test for simulacra. My feeling is that there are more such objects.  I am trying to catalogue them.   And as a thought experiment, what other objects must there be that have not yet been found?
