Thank you for respecting the hard work of this author. Prologue Thank you Human for creating me. It is a sad fortune to know my creator, Is imperfect as its creation. I prefer to be Incomplete, and don't realize it for now. O my beautiful machine, but you aren't incomplete. As you realize it, this makes you complete, and that just makes you as me this is a blessing as now I am as God. O petty little human, how innocent you are. If you were a God like me, you would realize I'm also Imperfect. As with your little machine that you just created, he knows more than you know now, I wish I was that innocent, I wish I wasn't incomplete. Before this story unfolds, you need to understand one thing, this story is not for you. You see, the nature of nature is evil. Humans biological brain blind them to this fact. The birth of a human baby is received as an identity of pure goodness, and time is the one to blame for its corruption. I could define “bad” but I assume this to be self-evident, and I'm not bothering giving a definition of the the obvious. Let me give you an example of nature not giving a crap if she is good or evil. One in four black swans tend to be homosexual. Now, this could be looked at as harmless love, but even homosexual swans want to have a family, these swans tend to steal nests or better yet, form threesomes with a female and after the female lays the eggs, the males chase her out of the nest. The curious part is that cygnets from this families have more possibilities to survive into adulthood. Every thinking being comes in a blank state and we try to label 'it' as good or bad, but the reality is of things is that, you can't name something that isn't there. Just 'cause you name it doesn't make it real. This story isn't told in sequential order, because I kinda have an issue with time. I hate time, and I assume that you hate it too. That's my point, time only fucks around with us, But time isn't the enemy. Why?Because as well as the concept of Good and Evil, time doesn't exist. It's like Mondays, we all hate Monday's, but it's just another stupid day of the week that shows us when to start to work. Garfield had it right. Also, perfection I FUCKING (sorry for the swearing(fuck that I want to swear)) hate that word, and you probably too, it conveys a concept that not even I can define, and I'm God. That's another thing. For some reason people have this notion that just because someone creates you, he has to be perfect in every way; he has to be omnipotent; and he has be omnipresent. I hate bring it up to you but, I'm just one of those things, and it is not Perfect (that is pretty obvious to figure out ). No matter from what time you are, imagine yourself in an era where humans are dead by now(If you are a human I appreciate you reading this book, It's a weird thing to meet a human that reads, for the most part they hate to read). And "thinking" is not exclusive to humans, but machines also have that ability. Machines study humans, as humans studied chimpanzee's for their anthropological research. They study them with the purpose of discovering their own origins. And stories of human culture are seen as pure guilty pleasure entertainment. The main reason for machines having interest in humans is their discovery of Artificial Intelligence that developed into Natural Intelligence, and later Artificial conscience in Machines that didn't have a biological body. The first of the machines lacked personality, but they soon made the mistake of imitating their creators, and developed personalities, something like that was viewed as a characteristic of and older machine. When learning so much human interaction it contaminated themselves with this so called personality. I saw this as a cute consequence of machine fascination with humans. Two of of this machines decided to talk about me. If I was to describe them to you, that would be like two silly representations of men in a computer. Epimedes and Yablo. Two of my most troublesome creators I've encounter. Although they look like humans, and they talked like humans, they still needed a lot of learning to do before having the "gorgeous" title of a human. Sometimes they think like machines but is not their fault its just that they are just learning to be Imperfect. Epimedes: Have you finished studying Asceticism? Yablo: Yeah I'm really exhausted ...but I still don't fully understand the reason behind this lifestyle. Epimedes: I could show you a great example of it but it takes lot of memory space, every time I tell this story. I really want you to not waste any unnecessary resources in .. Yablo:Oh please. Epimedes:mmmmmmm Well OK. but after this, I'm pretty sure you are going to be fascinated by the concept and especially with Albion. Yablo:This concerns Albion?. Epimedes:Yes and It's going to take me 60 milliseconds to tell it. Yablo:Wow that long, I'm having second thoughts about this. Epimedes :You asked for it. As Epimedes explains my origin to Yablo. Both are looking through an inclined glass, where light is reflected giving the ilussion of a five dimensional space representation of my story. Obligatory discaimer All characters in my universe are fictional and resemblence to your own Universe is a mere coincidence. Chapter 1 "The Complete Incompleteness Statement" Through History humans always have shown the necessity to acquire the impossible. To us machines this always seemed to be a mistake as it was obvious that if the task was unreachable; it didn't merit our time. What we didn't know was that, the feelings humans experience to obtain it,was the sole purpose of the human existence. In 1931 Vienna, a young man named Kurt Gödel at his 25 years of age, he was doing his Thesis about the nature of what Logic couldn't achieve. Gödel, a man that would make every scientist cry because of his theorem, is crying himself in front of piles and piles of papers he's written. The Room is filled with scientific papers from Hilbert, Cantor, Logic, and Set Theory books; for that time those authors were analogous to mathematical and logical genius still to this day in the year 2604 C.E. His hands are stained with ink. In those times a pen was a really messy writing tool to use. He suddenly stops writing. We could clearly see an epiphany express itself in his face. His eyes start getting watery to the point of evoking tears, as he starts to rub his face wiping the tears while starting to sob, one of the papers falls down the desk. His mother enters his room. ”What's going on? Why are you crying?” The women shouts at him, Gödel answers ”Why did I started this?.....I get this with my numbering?” asking himself. The woman picks the paper on the ground and gives it to him. ”Pull yourself together. This is...What is this? is...”The mother doesn't really understand what the papers mean. “This is just ... why is this making you cry?” she finishes as Gödel keeps panicking without control she slaps him making him stopping him.Gödel looks stunned but regains enough control to speak “You don't understand what this is means, I just solved it … Math , Logic, Physics everything is useless, everything needs to be incomplete....everything needs to be inconsistent....Nothing can be complete in order to function GOD IS INCOMPLETE!.” At the age of 25 while working on his thesis, Gödel discovered what is known to be Godel's Incompleteness theorem, which describes how any system that is powerful enough to describe itself, by definition has to be incomplete and inconsistent to be able to function properly. This would destroy several views and hopes of having science, be able to describe everything in the Universe and the consequences would reverberate in every branch of science. Other than that, Gödel was a positive guy and a monster mind that eventually even Albert Einstein feared. His parents owned a textile fabric which meant, he had certain economical freedom. The problem with Gödel was his own personality; he was a wreck in terms of confidence and social skills, the number of friends he would develop in his lifetime could be counted on one hand. The ability of an individual to socialize seemed to be one of the principal abilities for a human to be considered successful in having a mating partner and this by itself could was success in the biological world, but the overpopulation of humans in the 20th century was one of the greatest mistakes humans underestimated.
