The II fbales u r lr, am IA .HA-3--- &4 machine, while not yet completed, - -~~t will, it is hoped, greatly simplify the tasks of the Research Group. In building the machine, which is known as Octopus, certain con- li"" AIm siderations had to be observed. The problemi which would be dependent I IIVI Io on the machine, could not be trivial, nor time consuming. The messages, which would be sernt through the machine, would have to be limited to a few simple S categories. Complicated Poaerns Possible saMERICA LARGST AMDFaNES LO-P-a =acARC S&t up for experimental groups of five persons, the machine sends and receives on a panel of switches and lights which each member of -the group has before hi;. The problem starts with each member being given a number, either 1, or 0, and consists of having each member find out all the numbers, add them up, and give the answer by telling whether the sum is odd or even. Messages cannot, of course, be sent by everyone to,everyone else. This is where the pattern of com- miin~cation comes in. It is set up and controlled at the master con- trol panel. It can be changed at will, and determines who contacts who. Messages between any two mem- bers of the group cannot only be stopped, but can be twisted also. Thus all, or half, or any part of the messages sent by a group member can be changed to just the opposite of what he sent. This can com- plicate the pattern quite a bit.
