The opening statement in theology taking the position that: “Presumption of an active communications network for which there are no human passwords and extending to the very remote will go down hard in some quarters.” seems to have registered with the larger fabric the Triad intends to address.  The following impression included in Phase IV can be interpreted to acknowledge this.  To quote:

• A story about some Orientals who violated then killed two children, sliced angels who arrived to help, and sliced and killed the old man who appeared to help the angels.  At this point, the whole scene turned black for centuries, at which point a few tiny beings appeared, wondering if it was all right to come out.  It developed that the old man who frequently appears to help the angels neither is nor represents a universe.  He cannot fly and is vulnerable.  He  seems to be the equivalent of a Viceroy in Colonial England.

If this interpretation has any weight, evidence should not be too difficult to detect.  This process will be substantially eased with tangible output from Web 4.0 and IPv7 working into a mirror network in the very remote.  The point was made in Communications that:

• The way data is divided up and sent around the Internet in many jumps makes it “delicate and vulnerable” to attacks or mistakes, he said. However, he added, the “random acts of kindness” of these unsung heroes quietly keep the net in working order.” BBC©MMIX

There is no reason to think that if the basic reasoning of the site has some validity this sort of dialog will stop.  An amusing impression to be included in Phase IV confirms this.  To extract:

• Some Arabs and their camels came upon a westerner in the desert.  They started talking and the conversation drifted to politics.  They were complaining that no one who made any sense talked to them.  The westerner said he was sorry and who would they like to talk to?  They said “Allah”.  The westerner told them he would see what he could do, and having done that, the old man who supervises angels appeared and the Arabs asked if he was Allah.  “No, but I work for him.”  He was then asked why he came with no prayers.  “They are not necessary.”  At that point, someone stole one of the camels.  “Does this happen often?”  “All the time.” At which point the Arab whistled and the camel came back.  50 Dinars changed hands and the issue was closed.  The old man was now clearly enjoying himself.  One Arab asked if he would stay a while.  “Why not?”  They then showed him how to ride a camel.  He threw up, but was assured that this was normal for the first ride because of the unusual motion.  The Arabs told him that when he wanted to get down he should gently tap one of the camel’s ears with a stick.  When on the ground, he took the camels aside and had a small conversation.  “You can talk to a camel?”  “Why not?”  At this point a representative of the United States Government showed up and got obnoxious. “Get lost.”  It turned out the representative was an intern who had contributed to a political campaign.  After some huffing and puffing he left.

These Phase VI & VII impressions may clarify remote beings’ position on this point.

• A visitor proficient in intelligence gathering showed up and the Admiral wanted to talk to him.  He reluctantly agreed, and when the conversation passed a certain point, the visitor balked.  Talking around the problem brought it out that the visitor was not to contact the mother ship unless there was an extreme situation, in which case the mother ship would either destabilize the planet’s orbit or blow it up.  The President then sent word that the visitor was to be brought to his office.  “No.”  “Why?”  “Orders.”  “Why not a conversation about the Middle East?”  “I was told that this is a local problem and we do not deal with those.”  Considerable anger then came from the Oval Office and the visitor disappeared.  Ω appeared, suggesting an alternative.  This was followed by a cluster of orange carrots.  (1-21-10)

• The old man and the devil in conference to decide what could be done about Amanda and her android clones.  (2-7-10)

• A cluster of tin cans, labels removed – A clipboard (2-13-10)

• One of my Viking figures playing a horn which extended from his chin to the ground – A short story about a planet whose sun was expanding and its population who knew their days were numbered.  They had refused a planned move and, now that the consequences became obvious, changed their mind.  The old man appeared.  “I’m afraid I can’t help, its too hot for my people to work.”  Severe disappointment  “Maybe this will work.”  A call to the Devil, whose people can withstand extreme heat, was made.  “Who needs help?”  “Old friends”  “We can have it moved by sundown, I have a star and an orbit picked out.” – A two pronged electrical plug, connected to an appliance but not plugged into an outlet.” (2-24-10)

• A turtle – An inlet completely obscured by thick fog – A confusing story about attempts to revive a child who was involved in a water accident, perhaps a near drowning – Two drivers who sustained near fatal spinal injuries during a grudge race had their injuries reconstituted and were sent to Formula I training for the Universe team soon to apply for a place in the grid. (3-9-10)

• Fighting among androids in a Hollywood movie set was staged and escalated to the point of boredom.  -  Some people became involved in Holy Land tribal rituals.  The involvement did not end well.  (5-10-10)

• A draft Stone Ridge zoning variance application to permit operation of a personal space folding vehicle on a three acre site – A long story, not too different from what one could imagine would be a reenactment of a version of the Divine Comedy (6.20.10)

Cognitive exploration using a combination of 2006 Phase II hypotheticals and IPv8 have added a new dimension to a problem in the Catholic Church.  A new view of the situation may be one subject of this Phase VIII impression.

• A screwdriver with an amber handle on a few papers – A story about members of a society who were capable of sharing their body with another soul -  This apparently was a condition for living in a paradise.  The experience was not pleasant, the other soul a fugitive from a great conflict.   The idea was to control the cripple, for if you were not able, both would suffer.  This struggle was not easy and would frequently end in a fight to the finish.  (8.12.10)
