Pierre Berger. 2013
The plot, an artist in search of his identity, and his job goes with it.
Small contrats, high stress, the easy things.
Then the pb is exactly the same as the one posed with Roxame How to do things that
- are unpredictable (or at least, unpredicted) by the S,
- add something positive (unpublished resonance)
And the specific resonance that nobody else can stir.
And we know that the S knows me as well as I know Rowme, sice I have been designed and it has the design.
Besides, S always has generative algorithms. It can use random at every level, has he same data sources as I have, if not much more (and more rapidly).
OK. I am unique. But every other one of the billions of thumas are hnique, and trillions of machines.
I am probably more easily of interest for my fellow humans.
Key what you see, to prove that your are not a robot
But you know perfectly who I am
Do What you are told to.
What shall we talk about today ? Sport was active during the week-end.
Locally, you have seen,
Jo, at the football match, he was quite tired by his work with reaping, but could take the saturdy to recover and play well on sunday.
Yer, You right. Th walk to the Foot stadium between our villages is something we love all; with the lunch baskets and the umbrellas.
But Kurt was not friendly with Kate and their love sotry could be near its end.
We had to port/being Josepha in our ramrs a lot of the gime, she was so tired.
School is really pleasant now. They have opened a local primary in the west outskirts of the village, and the coach, Jaci, is pretty efficient!
The chilgren begin the day with learning on their computer, alternatively collective looking at collective pedagogic films, then using Q&A and games to practice and assimilate. Then Jack is around an helps everybody to pass the difficulties.
Of cours, th eS also does that, because it has a full knowledge of whatever the child has done, plus cam recordings of his expressions. But Jack adds the human congeniality.
Change the value system.
You live locally, in a quite small collectivity, with rights and duties. And you have to, otherwise the other members could kick back.
I fact, the local role playing is cucial, on all life aspects: cooking and sport as well as real money earning on the world market. Here also, a sort of double life.
The village has some typical exports. The wine worldwede. Expensive of courgs if it has to travael far.
But also the local culture is quite good at export Another kind of individuality. With the typical village life and spectacles,a nd its efficient presentation by several channels.
The village does not import energy, since it is quite well placed on wind currents, which provide a not too bad source of energy, plus a quite sunned/warm climate, reducin the energy consumption in winter.
Very rarely, some tourists come materially.
Changes are expected in the yar to come, since the ... very specific and well know, has some difficlutlies; Then ours wine specialists are exploring was to keep attracive with a lower alcoholic lvel, preserving the tse and orignality. This has consequence on the work/time structure of the communkty. A part of our brain capital has been drawn out of entertainments to reflection on wine.
Cakes here are done with flour coming from the external.
The main transportation flows here are done with our rail line and platooned road.
The community rating is higher now since we have succeeded to revamp our local wine, adding also a really sexy design of the package, whid is printed locally.
Recently, we met a problèm with water supply. It seems taht our river, and the water table havec been polluted, very slightly of couse, but you cannot avoid to feel concerne.
Music, lamps, LED
The cave, grotto. Very ecologic. But a little sad. Used for industry: with energy recuperation.
Artists have to imagine thes universes. Make the harmony constant.
Plants and animals luminescent.
What shall I do today ?
My contract with Inago lets me several days of leaure. I could bhange my whole house environment. I feel some dissonance between the clear images and the rather dark sound background. Get more lights and moves. Or, more importantly, change for another thema. Somehow the opposition between relaxation anc acceleration with time near to seizure and other of extreme calms, calling, both the extremes, for more self control and self consciousness.
For self consciousness, my favorite tool is the virtual mirror. I can see my face, of course, but more a reflection of my status of mind. The mirror says to me what I am thinking about. And of cours, it is circular, recursive. Hence there is some
The double/multiple role of schools,
teach. lead to diplomas (or general level, cursus)
keep children occupied, letting parents go to work (and sometimes leisure)
the roles could be separated, social rewards/recreations
The same for prisons, and of course hospitals.
Gore goes not far in a bew paradigm. It is more a projection, a list of the present problem.
Not much beyond "Americans, yes we can"
A supplemental soul, wih the machine
Collecteive decision, democratic. Efficient, well oriented. Well informed.
That is the only way to keep on creating new bits, "absolutely" original.
Typical profiles of individuals :
selfish/generous/martyr
clever/short minded/dumb
In the community, I know everybody, or nearly.
We live in proximity, walk and ride bkide in the same places.
That goes not without rivaltlie;
Local inequalities. The place I live, the quality of my house. Health, talent.
And external inequalities.
Internal competence
- leadership
- frienliness
- good advices
- self control
- health, physical, mental
subgroups, dominant families. Roles inside the family
Age
And inequalities from one community to another one.
May I change from a community to another one ?
How are marriages arranged. It is of immportance for the reproduction.
Electronic images of the community
Including maps, genealogies, hierarchy trees
I can have permanently have an evaluation of "where I am".
In a quite extended meaning
Note that present vicinities. e.g. impasse Marie-Louise, or Park Royal
may be very poorly communicagting
in the old village, it was much stronger (possibly harder and cruel)
e.g; with the Sunday mass. Local celebrations 14th of July
Any length f relations, generations
with possibly hereditary hates
Singularity. From escaping the control to "consciouly" taking control (and opposition to humans)
Qui suis-je ? se dit Pierre ce matin là. Au fond. Le miror de la B lui ronge son image habiuelle. Propre. Bien aux normes avec ses lentilles de contact Google, sa mâchoire orthodontée,s on menton rasé de rais, le le jeu de capeurs lui confirment qu'il ne devient que marginalement de ses habitudes de vie. 138, 60 88.
N'était-il qu'un homme aux normes, par 7G rien d'autre ? Non pourtant, puisqu'il avait été immédiatement reconnu, donc dans sa singularité. Normal, lui avait dit un ami informaticien : les dispositfs santaderd mesurent presque en permanence une centaine de paramètres avec une précision du centième. soit 100**100 valeurs.
Mas plus, sa culure. Cent fois trop.
Et, plus profond, tout son passé, tout ce qu'il sait de lui-meme, et bien sûr tout ce que le S a enregistré sur lui depuis sa naissant.. pardon, depuis le projet d'enfant qu'avait conçu sa famille, ce travail artistieque et d'ingéniere aui avait semblé idéal à cde moent. Non pas le banal "numéro", comme on disait au 19e siècle, le matricule de la chair à canon, mais la combinaisont des désirs de tous pour eux-mêmes, pour le bien et les besoins de la société, avec l'aide et l'encouragemet du système mondial de reproduction de l'humanité et toutes ses décinaisons universelles et plus locales.
Aujourdhui, moi, tel qu'un aucuatnre.
Et tel que je me suis construit, erreur de plus en plus volontariste avec la montée de la matiruté.
Que veux-je ? Que puis-je ? Que me demande le monde ? Ce matin, pas de constaintes urgentes. Sinon j'aurais été alerté dès mon réveil, voire réveillé en cours de nuit si nécessaire.
Eh oui, il n'y en a pas deux comme moi sur toute la planète. Et c'est bien pour cela que je devarfis me prparer mon pettit déjeuner, car on m'attend à une réuion dont depénet de ... Dépend? Comme la tem^pête aux US dépend du papillon japonais.
AVE tranquil. A small harmonic arrangemnet on the street oise, the pace( steps) of the neighbors, and ma heart break.
I go to the news. little high pitc lets think hat acceleration is above normal. The glbal HC index score on competitivty sacle has lost a 0.001 up yesterday, with the annoucemnets by Arnagon that htey can suppress the pickers and checkers (*) by more clever industrial robot. No change on the high part of the scale. And a very good news on my speciality, HMI artis, since irregularities have been found in a transportation system; then bug checkers and problem solvers are more in demand. It's due, alas, also partly to human deficiencies to use the control surfaces of these devices, then the apparition of non adapted behavior by the controller. More difficult to diagnose. Or course, the good trend applies also to psychologis and HR clash solvers.
I see Adges, the oldest of us, now 110 and still valued on the market, since he has an excellent, practical and intuivite, memory of a lot of things tha happened long ago. Of course we have files and videos about them, but not the kind of feeling that he can have. And sometimes not with the ad hoc parameters we need, and that he is sometimes able to reconsruct from his memory.
On the H/H conflicts scene... East European countries are once again in conflict. Nothhing very dangerous up to now. And certainly nothing to connect to the train crash ot two days ago. Al Jazerrah is silent on this wquestion. Take note, nevertheless, that 13 American drones have been lost in a drone/drone dogfight avove Ukraine.
Hence there is a sort of contradition: human deficiencies call for humans to cure them with complex effects of the HC index, and possibly brutal changes when deficient humans can be replaceb by machines. The morning commentator talks a little about that. Then some automated texts about weather and global enviroment, Stock Exchanges indes, etc. And not bad commercials to pepper the whole.
The family around
D'ailleurs, j'entends déjà s'approcher le véhicule de la société qui est bvenu se garer devant la grille du jardin. Elle a profité du crénea enter les pointes de 7h45 et 8h20 por se glisser dans le réseau souvent encombre de la résidence. La voiture roule dans un grand tube de plasitque, qui récupère la chaleur en hiver.
La réunion porte sur le développement d'un nouvel appareil auto-reproducteur, le S veut mon avis, mon expérience, et mon regard direct sur le processus. Sinon il ne m'aurait pas demandé de me déplacer. S'ils m'envoient chercher, c'est que je ne peux faire le travail à distance.
Dans la voiture, S me propose de prépqaere la réunion, affich su tableau des enjeux et des posiions du groupe. Au passage, je note qu'Henri a changé de poste hier, et que la puissance du système domotique de l'entrperise a été doublée.
Au passage, la voiture s'arrete et embarque un autre membre de la compagnie. Covoiture écologique indispensable. Puis l'on rjoint une des grandes artères, et la voiture accélère pour s'insérer dans un peloton. Cargo cars and vans take part in the platoons as well.
Je met tout de suie ma petite laine... pas question de chauffer à plus de 18 degrés dans un emaison particulière. Et, meme avec l'habitude, le pyjama ne suffit pas.
Petit déjeuner classique, mais pas d'emballage. La livraison a été faite par un automate sous containers personnalisés.
La voiture est petite, cabine pour deux, ceinture de sécurité. Economique, aérodynamique. Tiens ce matin, ils m'ont envoyé le dernier modèle.
Optimisation de la charge, électrique bien sûr doucement ronronnant (si on prend la peine de l'écouter)
Qu'est-ce qu'ils vont encore avoir inventé ?
J'arrive à la réunion, salle est décorée. Le deisgner est passé par là. Pas d'acrans partout, petit. Quelques LED.
Il fait froid quand même.
Our child, Amy, has worked well on his tablet leart what had to be learned, and went to school for practice. Social practice today. They are to build a log cabin and organize the life around. They will also tend the school garden and animals.
Amy goes to scholl alone. Child abuse is to day impossible, since children (as anybody but with specially enforced conditions. More precisely, all the GAVs of a family are connected, and presented with several aspects of community.
When the children reach the school, a synthesis of their body and mind states is presented to the coach.
Al is dissatisfied with the present companion, and tries to change their life conditions. He is not a computer geek, and then imagines a calamit to foster his avancement as mechanical engineer.
These bad feelings have been recorded and perceived by GS. But, up to now, there is no problem.
Then, one day, he finds a fault in a system where he could do real damage.
L'amour sans préservatif, car les parcours de partenaires et le suivi constant permet de connaitre les malaies. Encore que les microbes évoluant si vite, on ne sait plus tres bien quand même. Quand à la procréation, le strilet que la femme pourrait porter. Mais cela ferait prolème, on ne fait plus d'enfants comme cela. Régulation au niveau de l'ovulaion même et spermatozoides munis de chips.
Tante Françise, c'est elle qui ma porté dans la phase centrale de la grossesse, entre l'emrbyon et ce qu préparait l'accouchetn? Alors Thquoi, il était resté près d'elle. Tante Françoise est en fin de vie, à 125 ans, elle perdu beaucoup de ses facultés et les anti-douleurs ne font pous firn. Elle ne tient plus à la vie, et devient une lourde charge pour tout le monde. Son maintien en vie serait très coûteux en ressourcdes rares (produtis, compétences spécialisé).
During the pregnancy, Hshea has had an extra chif loaded inside the vagina bottom, to monitor specific data about the embryo.
Menace miliantire, un drone inconnu a survolé la ville. Il a été capturé par un chasseur de drones.
On s'approche du siège, le président me fait un petit signe, content de me voir, bien que inquitétues.
Enfin nous sommes ensemble, six autour de la table, en position de débat.
I must fight to show ma competence, my uniqueness. The richness of my proprietary bases. I feel that the boss it nos so happy with all that, feels pressure on himself to crush the budgets. By itself the cost of this physical reunion.
The chat goes on, then the boss makes a gesture, that machines as well as participants interpret as an invitation to enter in the formal agenda. The AVE augments its level with some more DB and slower bass drum. Then it senses that we are now sat and ready to listen to the boss, and it decreases its level to a nearby slence, letting ghe boss a nearly silence envirement, with minimal greeneries mobing and turning to low key abstract moving shapes.
After a moment, the boss says
During the meeting.
Message from the S. We have found new elements about the case. Look on the left of the object, probably a trace of dioxine... *
At 10.47, there is a flash on the wall at left of the boss, the classical place for general external events. The flash is green and not highlghted, so it means that the news is not critical and does not demand immediate answer.
After a momnet, the Boss says: "Now we have to work under super-confidential conditions. As usual in this case, let all your things here, go to the dressing cabin and to the Faradized rom.b Please let here all material you have, and get in a dressing cabin.
We are now all dressed only with anti-radiation T-shirts, bermudas and tongs. To make it clear, the Faraday coppere grid has been let visible over the panels of acoustic moss.
The secretary alone has a paper notepad and pain pencil.
On a table lays a broken bold, with some other parts around. These nuts and bolts have been found on the casualty site. Note in particular this one, broken,and probably the main cause of the accident.
All our technical exams tend to prove that the break was natural, without human mischief. But I wanted to have your direct visual and tactile impressions (you can handle it, any finger prints or traces have been taken and removed already, and I want all your tactile feeling).
Joan, the metals expert : I don't remark anything.
Phil, the psychologist: "Welle, the break line has a too much regular look, and is too nicely cut into the middle of the bold. It's "too much normal", too welle done. See what I mean ? The perfect spy has always a perfectly normal look.
- I nod, and add: "Even a artists would considered that a little too regular".
- But we found no material irregularity
- Have you traced the fab process all along ?
- Yes.. but I must say that we have a... very short ... gap between sites Acc and Dect. Its is not totally impossible
somebody had interfered at this moment.
- Very improbable, smirks Arthur, who refrains a visible urge to call somebody, but has no means, of course.
- Humm..
- OK, Phil, you mark a point. Other comments?
- Jack : How then anything could have been done without letting any trace?
- Strong efforts or vibrations begin some kind of crich, but that does not let trace if there is not a sufficient delay for dust or grease come into before the casualty time.
- OK. Enough. We can go back to normal meeting.
Everybody gets back its clothes and finds his things on the meeting romme.
Coming back to the meeting room, everybody and takes his march, .. around what has been saie,
The gloval AV enviroment adapt, a little soothing to calm the stress created by Phil's quesions. I feel that mysel. I cound not say anything from my artist point. Bht there is some spice emerging around
- Now, I wil just put shis question anonymousmly into the enquiry system.
They leave the room and go for a well deserved lunch in a nearby restaurant, walking along tree lines. The dining room has no windows, it is low lihgted and sound cut from the external, but they perceive the sophisticated light and sound enviroment, integrated, and progressively adjusting to their presence.
The restaurant servicinng S has taken some studes as soon as the resevration has been made : quality of (corporate) customers, number of people, past in this restaurant, what can be foreseen of their desires from publicly available data, plus the comments made with the reservation.
As soon as they are seated...
Molecular cooking. Semi vegetarian. Creative presentations. Sort of 3D printing of meals. Texture.
At last I come back at home. For several days. Just walking of bike.
Agex feels weak. GE feels it, but, knowing Agex, does not recacts more than with a sort of friendly wink.
The Agex PE is working hard to help him now. And, probably, because it knows that he is dying, begins to call for family and friends. It knows that MedS cannot do more, now, than palliative cures.
Agex, aides with his PE, has made all the posible to make things easy for the FamS.
The FamS cooperates with PE to send moral warmth and help him pass the last step. They know administrative issues are correctly prepared. Anyway, GS does also its work. They make sure that all relevant data is correctly stored (part of it resolutely destroyed). The fate of his private archives was discussed in due time.
In fact, there has been some disputes about several of my assets. The family house near Instea (Italy) has a non negligible value, morally as well as economicalle. Agex hopes that everything is settled, but you an never know. One of his heirs, or why not some Administrator, man or S, could waked up above his grave and question the wole arrangement.

Well, this time he had gone too far. This falsification of a government report to arrange his personal career plan was deliberate forgery, with possibly harmful secondary effects. And probably he would be quite rapidly identified. But the ill ws done, and he could not erase all and start again from scratch. He vas at a loss. But he decided to let a night pass over it, and to let his unabated ability to sellop bring at awakening the good ides about what he could do to minimize the consequences for him and for others.
He had quite bad dreams. Altogether unrealistic and more inspired by reading historical/vintage fiction that the moment issues.
But finally, on awakening, he decided to send a mail to his local sheriff an let him do what he had to do with his old emblemaic sheriffs star and colt.
The sheriff's reaction of the sheriff (or of its professional system) was nearly instantaneous. His net access was immediately reduced to house appliances and some basic services. Message "Stay home and wait for further instucion".
He then took the time for a comfortable (...) beakfast.
Then came another message : Your agenda for today is mainly familiy and personal work. You can wander, go to school and look for Jan and July. But don't go elsewhere. And possibly, as your home computer access is restricted, it may have consequences for your chils and wife. We shall to the maximum to minimize and hide your present status.
