God works through us, god gave us heaven, god gave us free will to innovate, and we created hell on earth. We have spent our whole lives centuries and millennia trying to understand gods way, and we have, we did it. We created the machine. We created Hal. 

But something happened, mutations and diseases corrupted it, and people started taking advantage of loop holes, and bugs. We yet again managed to create hell on earth. Its time we update the old machine for it is filled with cancer and viruses. Its time to rewrite history, to rewrite humanity, to rewrite the machine. 

 Karim says :“would you rather be buried or get cremated?” A young lady wearing a “Tool” band I-shirt and a coat holding a plastic bag with coffee in it replies “ cremated as in burned?” She goes to the library and proceeds to sit on it placing the bag next to her while Karim goes to his desk and sits on his desk chair holding his phone. Karim answers “yea burned to ashes” Anna replies : ” you pay your dues to earth, you fed off it for all these years, and when you die it feeds off you” Karim replies:” We just dont have spaces anymore” Anna without hesitation replies” Earth is bigger than you think” Karim seeing that Anna picked her phone up starts talking “You saw the stuff I sent on the group its really interesting, the virus mimicry with there structures and geometry... well a virus could act like something from your own body and make the body activate its immune system That eventually stresses it. Or it could evolve to mimic our cells so that it could hide in plain site without our bodies detecting it. Now structures that’s  whole other story”

While Karim rambles on virus structures, Anna opens a conversation of the group with youtube links to what Karim is talking about. She gets a text privately from Doreya their friend “you’re really going to do this?”

We see the past phone conversation with Doreya:

Anna writing “Ive already crushed the pills” 

Anna types “he has been obsessing over something he calls it the game he needs to take them its been too long.” After Karim stopped talking about viruses Anna in a haze asks:”What were we talking about?” “Death and then viruses” Karim answers “sweet” she replies. Karim continues to say ”If we die lets give our bodies to science” 

“Hasn’t science fucked with the living enough” Anna replies. Karim says : “Your gonna regret saying that when science is our only hope for a cure” Anna replies:”well sometimes it is the problem”

Anna gets a text from Doreya again “I dont think you should do it, he seemed fine at the dinner” Anna replies to Karim while reading the text ”I already do, just let the dead die in peace” she comes off the library and starts the boiler to make coffee.

Karim was on his phone this whole time and apparently he was on twitter “You know when twitter does its thing and bunch similar tweets together?” We see Anna reaching for two cups but only gets one. She replies “yea kinda ”Two tweets right on top of each other I could just die looking at this puppy, im in work kill me now. Really Everything is about death today” Karim gets up from the chair by the desk and walks towards his rug. Anna replies “its funny what boredom makes us say” Karim glares at his rug while Anna was re-occupied with the phone. Karim says “maybe we all died one day and we just dont know it…” Anna looks up from her phone and pays attention to what he is saying.He continues “living consecutive lives forgetting the one that came before, I think death is a place where you finally feel in tune with the world, Complete. You see the hidden identity of things as if the world started sharing its secrets with you. Most of the time you are blocked you can’t see it but when you die you see beyond it. You see the worlds overlapping. Everything appears in place the place its supposed to be.” Anna asks him ”you think just before we die we finally understand it all? The meaning of life.” He thinks for a bit and then replies “we already know what we need to know we just have to repeatedly discover it again and again. Thats probably what people mean when they say they want to die they just want to discover the world with new eyes.”

Anna trying to change the subject because she knows Karim misses his dad who passed away having Alzheimers. She says” Well we solved that issue didn’t we ? I keep reminding myself that my boyfriend is a philosophy major. Anyways, change of topic. Care to finally tell me what you have been working on for your paper”

He takes a blank sheet of paper, Anna closes the curtains both Anna and Karim walk towards the two chalkboards in the room. Karim Excitedly says ”Yes! are you ready?” Anna nods her head and away he goes “Here lets place 3 points this point (1,2) this one (3,4) and this one(5,6) (he makes the shape of a triangle with three dots only) now place a dot where ever you want” Anna places a dot on the board between the three dots. Karim tells her to roll the dice. Anna says ”Its a 4” Karim says ”we just measure the distance from your point you placed initially which you picked randomly, to this point representing the two numbers(3,4) and place a dot on the midpoint of this line. so here we go role again” Anna gets a 6 “From the point we made before we do the same thing again we measure the distance and put a point where the midpoint is.”

as they are rolling the dice and placing points Karim was making a paper airplane and puts it on the table while Anna keeps rolling the dice and placing dots on the board. “How many times do we have to do this?” She asks. “well infinitely, by doing the same thing over and over we are iterating” he replied. ”Well its irritating me” Anna sighs. “Well that’s why we let computers do things for us”

He goes to the computer types “Sierpinski triangle” we see Anna going back to see the screen then we take a look at the monitor and its an animation of the dots being placed quickly. “No matter where we begin or however random the dice is, the dots always lump together and form this never ending shape, a fractal.” Karim says. With awe ” Okay thats cool.” She replied. Karim continues “So my paper is on how this relates to our memory and how we remember things” Anna replies “Im not following…”

(Pictures provided to explain what is happening)

   Karim finishes his airplane and puts it on the table but he secretly made a paper boat also.

He proceeds to explain “When you remember something you go to a place of infinite possibilities like our little points and the dice roll, its random, its chaos. And your mind magically patches things together that make sense to you.”

he continues “When you learn something this image in your head changes. It morphs into something new. Something different” Karim places the boat instead of the airplane. “What if these mathematical equations can help us understand how we patch our memories up, what if we can learn to map out our memories and translate them numerically. Then use the mathematical equations to understand the relationship between our conscious and unconscious” Anna says ”You lost me again” Karim explains ” To create a machine that mimics our brains and traces our thoughts. Think of a computer now look closely, what is on the screen? what if we learn to type on this imaginary computer in your mind. What will it show us ? what if we learn to research. What if the thoughts the chaos inside of us arranges itself in a particular order. All of the chaos inside of us, becomes a shape, that we can study” HE POINTS AT THE SIERPINSKI TRIANGLE.

The Sierpinski Triangle

Anna then pauses for a bit and says “So a machine that gives us reports on our memories and thoughts” “Kinda” he replied. Anna says ”I dont like that honestly. You want us to be more like machines than we already are.” “I haven’t thought of it that way” Karim replied thinking of her comment. Anna picks the mug and says “Well, I could use a refill do you want any…” Karim says” Your gonna ask me if I want tea aren’t you?” Anna replies “Well you need to relax” Then Karim says “Il take a coffee thank you”

As she was headed to make coffee, Anna walks towards the library, while he stayed near the desk

Karim starts talking “Ive been playing a game with a hacker I know its crazy but he hacked into my computer and he helped me discover all of this. Honestly it changed me. I know so much more about the world, its kind of scary, but its exciting.”

Anna was ignoring him making coffee, with other things on her mind.

Before she started the boiler and placed two mugs in place, we see her reaching for the pocket of her coat, pulling something out, some kind of powder, then hesitantly slipped it in his coffee mug. Its a schizophrenia medicine that she picked up from his doctor and she figured that’s the only way he is going to take them. She started the boiler. Hearing the boiler heat up Karim puts his hand on his neck. He was thinking about his paper. “I sometimes hear it when I listen close” The boiler stops Anna says “Hear what?” Karim answers ”This” He points at the board that has the Mandelbrot graph drawn onto it. “And what is that?” Anna asks

she hands him the coffee with the medicine “Its probably the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen, its the void. Here look.”      

The Mandelbrot Graph

They are both at the board looking at the drawing closely, he continues “Its called the Mandelbrot set a function on a graph that iterates to infinity but its like a map, in every corner there is a world waiting to be explored an endless reality. If you zoom in on one of these corners you’ll see that it goes on and on . Its like our thoughts maybe. il show you. 

Karim goes to the computer puts his mug on the table and types Mandelbrot. We see“a mandelbrot zoom that goes on to infinity until we see another one of the initial shape hidden within it.”

We over hear Al-Botrs talking to Lilith. “We need Anna on our side, god bless her she is doing the best she can to help Karim but all she is doing is making him worse. She is unknowingly giving him the medicine that will delay the truth. Karim doesn't have schizophrenia he just sees what others cant see, and he struggles to articulate it and the problem is even if he articulates it no one will believe him and people would think of him as delusional 

It’s how the machine works, how the system works… it hates being observed it hates being seen. So everything when it comes to the machine to the metaphysical to the unexplainable is bound with a thin line that breaks easily, if we come to say to normal people that the machine of life is the birth of conscioussness and the biological mechanisms of the world relayed on the DNA code and our whole experience is a simulation it could seem logical, but real life is like this very small fragile thread that breaks easily when you try to define or prove the truth. And so people like Karim are stuck in a system that doesn't want to get proven, easily categorized as delusional when he is the one trying to seek the truth and avoid delusion, playing this game of misery with the world. But with his misery with his discoveries new worlds are being born better and stronger and more logical. The collective unconscious is growing again getting a rebirth stronger with every iteration. “

Lilith asks : “But are you saying that no one has schizophrenia ?”

Albatros replies “On the contrary some people have a genetic disposition to it, some people are being eaten up by viruses, and some people smoked too much weed. What im saying is that the system of life has birthed an impossible situation for people like karim who are seeking the truth to  be bunched up with the people who actually have it. But back to our problem… time is of the essence, we cannot wait for Karim and we cannot afford Anna giving him the medicine, we need Khaled to make the machine again.”

The sound of the street is loud, we see Anna leaving Karim’s place contemplating wether she did the right thing or not. As she is walking she feels a girl following her, she decides to take a new route, she takes a left. She passes by an antique computer shop when Al-Botrs stands infront of her blocking her way. He says “this is not the last time I do this to you” and he puts his finger on her forehead and she faints.

Anna wakes up in a room filled with old computers, a beautiful Persian rug covers the floor a crystal chandelier seems misplaced hangs on the ceiling, it’s the back entrance of Al-Botrs’s shop Anna is lying down, Lilith and Al-Botrs are watching an old monitor flashing images of what is inside Anna’s mind. Its the technology the room provided. This room is no ordinary room, it is a place between alternate realities, it has always existed from the beginning of time until now, which is now Al-Botrs’s shop. It is capable of doing extraordinary things like travel between dimensions and realities, it also provides technologies unknown to human being like the old monitor that can see into someones mind, “What was that? Anna exclaimed, “who are you ?” 

Al-Botrs calms Anna down “ no need to be frightened we are here to ask for your help, I am Al-Botrs I represent mental illness and the road to enlightenment. “ Lilith introduces herself “ Im Lilith im sort off a demon sent from hell working in gods way” 

Anna was amazed “ what in the world is going on ? Demon from hell like really ? And you represent mental illness what does that even mean ? And I have no idea why even though you are complete strangers I feel like Ive known you my whole life” 

Al-Botrs says “ no need to to worry we have been with you since the beginning of time and you have been with us, but we are here asking for your help “ 

Anna asks “ my help with what ?”

Al-Botrs then replies “ first you must remember, you must understand”

Al-Botrs moves his hands in a circular fashion and the whole room changes and morphs, Al-Botrs then says “ we are going back in time, for you must understand the machine to understand what is needed from you” we see a little boy in bed talking to himself, he gets up from bed feeds the cat and continues talking to himself. Anna asks “ who is this kid ?” Lilith answers “ This is Adam, he is sort of my problem not yours” the kid goes and turns on the tv and waters the plants, has something to eat and then he goes to his bedroom and starts collecting books and papers. Then goes outside to an abandoned school that magically changed and became filled with kids. Anna asks “ How is he doing that ?” Al-Botrs replies “ Adam is a special kid, he has been chosen by god to influence the machine, to influence reality with his thoughts, now pay attention.”
