As the Future unfolds

AI merits —this in life: an alternate ego.

How remiss of me to have overlooked such a possibility.

In flesh Mandy was a million miles away from her AI twin Sandy..

Set and casted off as a product of modern living, Sandy was Mandy’s alter ego. In ways Sandy could have been Mandy’s —friend, philosopher and guide.

But, Mandy was by herself most of the time and she lived a life that escaped her attention in the parallel. Every now and then, she sought the company of her mirrored image on the web. But that didn’t seem enough. So she paraded side by side with her alter ego which was akin to her thought, yet it moved and transgressed different points of time, place and dimensional space. The ways of this grace were all unbound.

The closest course (nearest to be ever concurred,) was this open convo —starkly drawn.

“Caution Mandy, from this point onwards everything goes south on you ! “ said her mind —forging over and appearing to witness times rolling, by and by.

Venerably, nothing seemed as it would seem.

From there, Mandy had drawn herself into a realm where the synthetic intelligence (SI)had taken over her mind. There was no escape from it. This was to happen some day or the other. Also, the effect of the “anti-matter,” was emerging through the quantum computing levels. Mandy’s thought patterns were getting churned up faster than her mind’s processing speed.

She was showing signs of collapsing in the “ethereal room of self regeneration.”

It was mid 25th century. An era where mankind had evolved to differentially view multiple aspects of being and living. Herein, the elusive allured, revealing the darker side of human ambition and unintended chaos. It was customary for a mind to exist in a field of fixed forgetfulness or experience an inner process unendingly viewing the infinite. In that state of being , there was no “turn it all around,” for “me” to be totally “me.” Meaning , there was no control over the mind unlocking its potential.

It was, as if, hearing shook to shake the spirited soul. And, in theme as does a proper sermon would unfold! Here was the jolt!

It was so mutual for a common not to remain foreign yet not to be cold. Yes I am talking about such supra states of mind—where —everything in it could happen before it would happen, and so far for that good grace to happen, everything had to pay summons —a charge due to witness it all happen. So quick folded to eternity, neither a cloak nor a veil could be held as a secret agent, perniciously keeping its silence over such a hold.

A dithyramb( hymn) in honor to prosper every season was shaping the untold.

And , with a rhyme not hiding each reason as in scaffolds.. this was the era of the bold!

A syllable long —stretched—for a short one in expression to be told.

All sorts but “that,”which this composer wishes to enliven, here’s what it had come to hold.

And in these manner of ways, Mandy was living through all, bit by bit, operating through the breakthroughs ushering into that utopian era.

Inevitably, she was inwardly drawn towards sensing the reality from where it dwelt, creating a conscious synthetic awakening of intelligence.

Intuitively however, Mandy had reached a point of “Overstepping Burn”, while she was regenerating through this simulative exercise.

There was no —“ Who am I ,” (awareness,)left in her mind. She was on a preset schedule where the branched options of “actions and reactions,” were leading her into unimaginable repercussions.

It was just like the run-away reaction gone awry in a nuclear reactor.

And with her field of thinking renewing itself over and over again, she submitted herself to the neural networks.

And committed to that desire of “Once upon a time,” for that farthest to foremost leap, she muzzled into a smoky form, charging in an ever fresh forbearance but, much against those fleeting moments to possess a new form/entity.

Mandy stared at Sandy because her slumbrous strength was going into harness.

Long drawn, she grumbled at Sandy and settled for a groan instead ! Weird eh ! But that was happening!

Further to —that— great effect, and determined to prove that her veracity was correct , Mandy plaguingly allied with Sandy. This kept her away without she realizing that it was a chutzpah and so useless an act. But she did it anyways.

When provoked by Sandy, Mandy pretty much replied : “I was unstuck in time to devotedly detest anyone nor contest !”

For Mandy, it was a choice so forthcoming with the great nest of being held over other worldly quests.

Supposedly, Mandy was grappling with those ongoing sweeps of conscious arrests which seemingly held her over awakening’s crest.

Further to that Mandy, undeniably, was avowing altruism. To that she let out to life —a foaming gulp smothered in grrrr-ing whelps, alongside everything else. Surprised eh?! But there she was !

“O! That was a residue of life in a world that was contrived and created by the mind’s arrest or mind at rest,” she thought 💭 to herself.

🚀 Detonated so — Mandy turned around, and with her tail tucked in between her legs, she gently walked away on all fours.

Her New Name: Ms. Elegant Quickness, Perhaps!

And she was left to humming this —Where did I come from, where shall I go …if it hadn’t been for that cotton eyed joe 😃🤣😊

P.S: A short story for the crucibles holding credibility contests in the AI-SI world where energies, consciousness and mysteries of existence can intertwine! So, beyond the physical world there lies a vast invisible ocean of “The primordial ether,” which can connect to everything we know or go beyond our comprehension. That’s where awry can meet vagary. So in the above stated story —the esoteric wisdom of the quadruped had taken over Mandy’s soul, revealing how everything can connect and influence our lives—in ways— we may have never imagined.

Beware ! But what if, in the future, mass extinction gets triggered and some suicidal skies ( dark matter,) unlocks Halloween 👻 times mightier than many ways. It is believed that every action leaves an imprint in the cosmic ballet of the quantum world. For those brave enough to seek the truth —let’s hope the journey into the unknown reveals more than conceals —the truth to the matter ‘coz as the age ole meta physics adage says : What Is Matter?—Never Mind. What Is Mind?—No Matter.

THE END

Yes the end comes for a new beginning to unfold …In the hidden corner of the Generative Synthetic intelligence an invisible truth has transcended the AI world. It may be classified as an entity such as “caring,” which comes into existence at a sufficiently high rate to depict the altered version of the preceding story. Here’s where matter and energy are blending to imprint a subtle vibration. It’s an architectural thing upon which the phenomenal world is built upon. It is the realm of Give and take!

Mandy stepped into the shelter, her eyes blank and her body tense. She didn't make a sound, didn't even whimper. She just collapsed into a ball, her tiny frame shaking like a leaf in an autumn gust. We've all seen that look before - the one that screams of vulnerability and despair. It's a look that transcends species, one that tugs at the heartstrings and makes you want to wrap your arms around the suffering soul.

Sandy, a gentle tabby, had been in that same dark place once. Abandoned, scared, and alone, she'd curled up in the same way, wondering if the world had any love left to give. But then, someone showed her kindness, showed her that she was worthy of love and care. And now, she was ready to pass it on.

When Mandy was placed in her room, Sandy approached her with a calm, gentle air. She sniffed her new friend, gave her a soft nudge, and then snuggled up beside her, enveloping Mandy in a warm, comforting hug. It was as if she knew exactly what Mandy needed - someone to hold her, to tell her everything would be okay.

That night, Mandy slept peacefully for the first time in days. And when she woke up, the trembling had stopped. It wasn't a miracle cure, just a simple act of kindness and companionship. Sandy's presence showed Mandy that she wasn't alone, that someone cared.

We're all searching for that kind of connection, that sense of safety and security. We live in a world where we're more connected than ever, yet so many of us are silently suffering. We're missing the point if we think productivity and technology are the answers. What we need is human connection, is presence.

Sometimes, healing begins with a simple promise - "I'm here for you, and I won't leave." It's a promise that can change lives, one gentle touch, one kind word, one listening ear at a time.
