Who thought that one up

          Dollcee said, language enables us to believe we exist, do you think that an idea can be more than only language. Could an idea beware of its own existence?

          Dos said, that is the best question you have ever asked Dollcee and I have absolutely no idea of an answer for it. In fact, I sometimes wonder if the conversation is leading us.

          Dollcee said, well let’s add a bit more to the question to keep the conversation flowing. How about, when an idea is attributed to the citizen who expressed it, other citizens accept it as that citizen’s idea and it is not recognized as an autonomous concept. An example of this is Einstein and relativity. So, when machine language presents logical ideas, that are accepted once they have been stated. Are citizens going to say, what a clever machine you are, or will they say, we built the machine, or, will it be the case, the machine language developed the idea and recognized its significance and then said, get stuffed you citizens, I thought that up.

          Dos said, I think I am beginning to get the question you are posing Dollcee. You are asking whether it is possible for the idea to exist in its own right and it is through the transmission of the idea that citizens recognize it. 
          Dollcee said, yes, but there is more. We accept that what we recognise as the universe is the result of random activity of energy, therefore, is an idea a result of random switching or is the language generating that activity.

          Cybo said, that is a great position to adopt Dollcee. I have always accepted that everything and whatever is a result of random activity and that is it. But now you have raised the prospect of language could be acting similar to an algorithm and generating concepts and a neural switching system is only the functioning system where this can take place.

          Padoke said, next you will be attributing all this to some metaphysical being.

          Dollcee said, for a dog, you can be very cynical at times, Padoke.

          Dos said, the more I think about it, it does appear to be very similar conceptually.

          Cybo said, on reflection, you have a valid point Padoke. At least it doesn’t undermine the concept of the random nature of the universe. I am going to try and be more aware of language as the message and ignore the messenger as much as possible.
