Planning

"With these cards I can accurately predict anyone's choices. I can simulate events in the past, in the present and in the future. I can see their continual movement forward in time or how the events move in reverse mechanistically.

I can see how people became who they are, or who they were, at any point in time. I only have to simulate the events.

The more factors I add in, the more precisely I can simulate people and events. But it means I end up making more cards and potentially placing them in new domains or new groups.

If I get too precise in simulating reality and account for minutia, new cards would be created that would move toward portraying chemical interactions, toward chemistry and atomic physics. But these have such little impact...its not necessary to include them yet... On the other hand, if I meticulously factor in everything that could fall in the Psyche Domain, accounting for emotions and thought processes, all other systems aligned appropriately, the cards could portray almost exactly what someone is thinking. This is the power of predeterminism.

I use probability to weigh the level of motional influence of a given active card on its modality.

Everything that occurs has thus shown it has a degree of movement, whether its an emotion moving someone or whether its an idea influencing choice and thoughts; or whether the 'movement' is within a phase in some human-made system moving a process along for a particular task and thereby moving a Situation into resolution.

All parts of the world (or 'carriers') play some role, great or small. These carriers all have a different strength of movement and varying net influence.

These carriers have properties to describe their effect on modalities, and have an area of effect; for a condensed example, the Inner Sadness card , with its property being: that of affecting the Psyche such that the approval threshold falls, displacing the effect of 'Inner Pleasure' (another carrier), increasing the influence of Sensation, reorienting the thought process; changing also several biological processes.

Number values can be attributed to each of these thousands of carriers and the values remain fixed, but there are certain effects, properties, and transformations that can occur on a Modality that create resistance in the modality being moved; thereby effecting the net influence or strength of movement of a carrier, and ultimately this affects the probability of it leading to an actual or realized occurrence.

Its all very complicated and requires calculations, but I think I've got it.

In the next chapter I'll explain it in detail. The cards are practically a tool to simulate a chain of events system which binds interactions between the several major domains. How does a sunset affect a person? Not much in a given circumstance? What's the chance of one unspecified person choosing one item over another in a given situation? These and similar questions can be answered. All the specifics can be known, mapped out, and placed upon a card, and simulations can be run. Nothing can escape this system. And this is just the beginning of what I can put in my AI, a computer program is far more efficient and quick.

When it is time to choose strategies with the highest rate of success, that AI is going to know the best strategy and that AI is going to be my helper.

Compared to this, humankind has been stumbling around for the past million years making guesses. Yes its great to have this power... but now,... Why would I give just anyone this knowledge? With this, its best that I keep it to myself and use it to uncover and purge evil, without it having a chance of surviving. With this I must protect the innocent, and make a civilization that's worth living in. This is an opportunity to change the world, to intelligently make it as perfect as it can be."
