This program is designed to keep a timed registry of answers to the question:
"What are you thinking about?"
It then analyzes the data for time dependent correlations amongst different words, groups, and phrases and uses a modeling simulation to generate suggestions for your next thought. These
suggestions are designed to reach different equilibrium cycles in the thought process. For example.
Comp: What are you thinking?
User: I wan't to kill my wife.
Comp: Think about bieng in jail for the rest of your life.
Comp: What are you thinking? (fast responce)
User: Um, I'm thinking about divorcing my wife.
Comp: Think about that girl at the bagel shop.
And so on.
Different equilibrium cycles can be chosen. I'd wear the zen model.
I don't know what this achieves, but it is definitly a functional tool for those who just can't think what they are supposed to think, and might do good having a suggestion or two.
The computer will be in a handheld casing wirelessly communicating with the mic/radio in your back teeth.
It does not start providing suggestions until it builds a sufficient registry for the modeling to be useful.

//the zen model// which presumably goes something like,
"What are you thinking about? Well, don't." |

I'd be really annoyed if this machine interrupted my train of thought, just so I could tell it what I was about to think of something really good, until it interrupted me again, and that I was thinking now, of throwing it in the canal. |

Comp: What are you thinking?
User: Shut up you stupid excuse of a big-brother mo-fo
Comp: <Zork> I do not understand 'mo-fo' </Zork> |

Me: Stand on Thorin's shoulders.

Didn't work too well here, did it? |

[zen]: Did that actually work? I had The Hobbit on a C64, but never got far at all. I gave up after being stabbed by the goblins - I think I ran ahead too far instead of searching around. |

I'm a stubborn old bastard and it takes quite a bit of persuasion from people for me to change my mind about things, I doubt a handheld pc would have much success. |

[jb] Nope, it came back with
I DO NOT KNOW THE WORD " STAND "
instead you had to
SAY TO THORIN "CARRY ME" |

I much preferred the Level9 games like Red Moon, Worm in Paradise etc - they seemed to be a *bit* more forgiving on syntax and you didn't have to think of some randomly convoluted phrase in order to get to the next bit. |

[Pa`ve],[GumBob] the invention described is a TV - except it doesn't ask us what we think, jumping straight to the point where it tells us what we should be thinking (buy more consumer products, combat the 5 signs of ageing, drink more 'lifestyle' sodas, spend some quality time with 'The King' and drive a performance SUV without harming the environment, too much) |
