This message goes out first to Joe Philley​and the November Lima​ crew and from there too all active Ingress Agents to the world. As some of you know I lost my pops sometime on Saturday night and Sunday morning to a car accident in the Lorestan province of Iran where he hailed from. He had just driven 8 hours to the rural area to take his ailing cousin to chemo therapy and was on his way Back to Tehran in the rain and got sidewound by an ambulance, and pronounced dead on the scene due to a concussion, and the ironic circumstances notwithstanding, did not suffer any pain at the time of his corporeal departure.

Joe, you would have really loved the guy and though you guys have been worlds apart I've met enough people who have flown airplanes to know they end up having similar traits, and are explorers and navigators by occupantion which make them people who are deeply connected with the world around them starting local and going outwards from there. And as persons who occupationally are responsible for the are travels of hundreds of lives in mid air, they develop not only a great sense of humor, but a solemn sense of self awareness in the world around them- anyway you guys would have made beer buddies for sure if the chance was there.

But considering the sudenness of his passing on the road, and you (Joe) and the November Lima operators dedicated amount of time, and the habit of many Ingress players on the road, I want to take this time to remind and urge caution for everyone to be safe on the roads of the world as they play and investigate the fields. Life is precious, and many of you are parents, or sons, daughters, brothers, friends, spouses to someone who loves you and will deeply miss you and be heartbroken especially if something happens like what happened to dad.

We all need to go sometime, and in many ways i take comfort in knowing my dad didn't experience agony when he left, but still can't help but wonder if he would have been here if he was more patient or did a double take as he made his last u turn. So please, everyone reading. Eyes off the scanner and on the road (this definitely goes for me too as I'm one of the worst). Better off losing some AP than a life, yours or someone else's.

    Thanks guys. If you got someone you love or a parent, let them know do and be good to them and be there for them. Last time I saw him in person was more or less exactly 5 years ago this time but we stayed in touch via phone and Skype and emails. There's a lot for me to unpack which means less time for me to contribute to op essex investigating. I'm sure I'm not gonna fall off the face of the earth, but hope don't fall completely behind on the plot. :}

    Thank you, and to any of you who may have also recently lost a loved one, hang in there it stings like a mofo, but that's just their absence reflecting through what they left in you in the first place so you can carry the best of what they left behind for others to share. At least that's what I've been telling myself, heh.

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

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...

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?
