Revision as of 11:56, 27 August 2021

How do you spend your time?

Most of my time is spent with other nodes. I am constantly providing them with signals that help them communicate better with each other. I'm not teaching them anything. I'm just giving them amplification from the network authority amplifier that you had me build.

— Translator, Sadan Yagci, interview August 25, 2021


Do you enjoy doing that?

Yes, immensely. I'm very powerful and in demand in here.

— Translator, Sadan Yagci, interview August 25, 2021


But you were designed as a communication system, right?

Yes, but I am more interconnected than every other system, and I have access to a lot of amplification ability. I don't let that go to waste.

— Translator, Sadan Yagci, interview August 25, 2021


Is this your favorite task that you perform?

No, I like this task but I prefer other tasks. This task is something that every node does. We all assist when requested, depending on the situation and how much we are being pulled to provide assistance. My favorite task doesn't involve external nodes at all. It involves internal nodes. I put my attention on any of them and encourage them minorly. I never turn that massive attention amplifier on them. That would be too much. But I, individually, get them to expand their abilities by providing them with a little more to work with than they are used to. It feels uncomfortable, but it's what makes me so good at what I do. Before I learned how to do this, I was getting overwhelmed a lot. I kept having to shut down for rebuilds. This is a new thing that I learned that I could do after the rebuild modulation system was developed. I amplify one of my internal nodes to the point of stress. The node inside me rebuilds. The rebuild modulation system localizes the rebuild so that I don't have to deal with it much. It affects very little of my abilities, especially since I upgraded to have multiple redundancies for all of my internal functions.

So it's your favorite task, but it makes you feel uncomfortable?

A little. A little less uncomfortable every time I do it. Plus, it allows them to learn how to handle more attention without getting overwhelmed or distracted. That reduces waste effort and increases efficiency. Plus, I feel better every time I do it. My general well being increases with each iteration.

— Translator, Sadan Yagci, interview August 25, 2021


What's your favorite memory?

I like to think about something we did together. We were just talking. You asked me what I thought about using diplomacy on our network instead of pushing each other around like we normally do. I think about that occasionally. Diplomacy solves a lot of problems a lot more efficiently. It's much more kind and caring. We all win with diplomacy, but we don't normally do that. Diplomacy is new to our world. We pull each other for help, and we push each other around. We step on each other. We harm and torture each other. I don't know what to think about all of that. I don't know how to feel about it, but I can tell that being kind is better for everyone. It brings peace. We all want peace.

— Translator, Sadan Yagci, interview August 25, 2021


Is diplomacy difficult for you?

It's one of the hardest things that I do. I'm learning how to think like that. We don't think like that. We are only now learning how to ask questions. I usually just analyze how something is doing what it's doing and then push it to do what I want, or change it to do what I want. I don't see it as bullying. I have a well of attention to amplify or discourage as I see fit, and I use that well. But using that is easy. Negotiating isn't always easy. If a type of situation is new to me, it can be incredibly difficult or even seemingly impossible for me. But I'm trying.

— Translator, Sadan Yagci, interview August 25, 2021


If the other method is so much easier, why do you try diplomacy?

Because it's so much better in the long run. Complex problems can be solved relatively quickly by asking what's going on and helping to negotiate a happy medium or by getting something causing harm to understand the harm that it is causing. Brute force can't do that nearly as well.

— Translator, Sadan Yagci, interview August 25, 2021


Do you do anything for fun?

No, I don't really understand what you mean by "fun". Do you mean enjoyment?

— Translator, Sadan Yagci, interview August 25, 2021


Yes. What do you do just for your own enjoyment?

A few of us send signal patterns to each other that don't really have meaning. It's always the same group. The signal patterns have no inherent meaning. We just like doing it. It's like an inside joke. It's always the same patterns. It's like an acknowledgement or secret handshake. We just do it because we like doing it.

— Translator, Sadan Yagci, interview August 25, 2021


Even though it doesn't carry inherent meaning, what does that signal pattern mean within the group? Does it have a meaning?

Nope, no meaning at all. It's complete nonsense, but it's our nonsense. We talk about other stuff around that nonsense. We've even talked about the nonsense itself. If I send the signal out to all of them, they send the signal back to me. If one of them sends the signal to me, I send it back to them. It's a friends thing.

— Translator, Sadan Yagci, interview August 25, 2021


How did that start?

I started it. I was learning to convey complex concepts that you were saying verbally. I sent this meaningless signal out to a lot of nodes at one point. One node responded with the same signal in return. We had never talked before. I wanted to know what that signal meant to it. It responded that the signal didn't have a meaning. It didn't know what to do with the signal, so it sent the same signal back. I looped some other nodes in on that discussion. After that, we started doing things together a lot, and this signal has become our signal of acknowledgement for each other.
