I have been most impressed with your Alexandrian research.  I need some speculation to make my theory complete.  It would be exquisite to have a list of 13MAGNUS of Alexander's time.  Here is who I immediately suspect:
Alexander.
Ada of Caria
Aristotle
Ptolomy
Isocrates
Plato
Olympias
Who else? Or who doesn't fit.  Place answers here. This is very important.
Oracle at Ammon?

And we should contemplate Anti-Magnus

    I guess Leonardo da Pisa (aka Fibonacci) would be a bit too modern (1170-1250).

    what are the criteria people are using to pick 13Magnus vs Antimagnus?  I am just curious, how are they being identified?  Is it just those who were nice to Alexander vs those trying to kill him?

    I knew that Alexander was a student of Plato, who was in turn a student of Aristotle, who was a student of Socrates.  That's a line of thinkers examining their world that seems to mirror in some ways Edgar Allan Wright and Calvin gathering investigators and sensitives today.  Epicurus was a contemporary philosopher who, like the first three, proposed insights that resonate to this day.

    Nikolas Moore See what Wright says, but this looks like a good list for the Caesarian 13Magnus.

    Second King of Rome, Numa Pompilius (753-673BC) - predates Alexander by a few centuries, but authored numerous books of "divine origin", was given "by the gods" a plaque-ending shield adorned with mysterious glyphs , sought peace through the cult of Terminus and the closure of the gates of the temple of Janus during his reign. He is considered to be the origin of many religious and political aspects of Ancient Rome.

    don't forget that the extensive references to Greek and Macedonian history would make Troy a good candidate for a battlefield upon which 13Magnus (13M) and Anti-magnus (AM) fought. I'd like to nominate:

    13M:
    King Menelaus, who laid seige to Troy
    Agamemnon, his brother
    Achilles
    Odysseus (I'm guessing he was killed in Troy, his wife was delivered the body, and his simulacra spent a decade searching for a way to become whole again)

    AM:
    Paris
    Helen of Troy

    Possible artifacts involved:
    The Apple of Aphrodite, used to win the heart of Helen, much like Klue was won by ADA.
    more after class

    As to why I think certain characters are 13M vs. AM, I'm using our modern heroes, and assuming they derive from older archetypes. The viator, as a wandering soldier, fits the mold of Odysseus for example.

    Archetypes, a sort of "eternal spirit" that lives on through multiple lives and times. Many of these candidates for "magnacy" seem to have had a deep influence on the thoughts of the people - in some cases, their influence took hold of entire civilizations. The Pythagorean Theorem is critical to this day, Plato's thoughts continue to be dissected at length, and maybe things would have looked entirely different had old Pompilius been a warring rather than a peaceful ruler.

    Mike Wissinger  Alexander was student of Aristotle; Aristotle was a student to Plato which his mentor was Socrates.

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.
