It’s our time – Nerds of the World Unite! It’s not usual reading, but a few years ago I got looking at the specs for the Operating System that’s in a normal DVD player. Sure enough it was a primitive little OS that could do some cool stuff. Meanwhile, on planet Earth, we were doing Q&A’s in theaters after BLEEP screenings, and people kept asking for more and more information. So one night I shot off my mouth about how we were going to program the DVD player to allow you to choose “how far down the Rabbit Hole to go.” People loved it. I was now envisioning linked lists (remember this is a nerdy article) that would dynamically restructure the movie based on the user specified parameters. Sure enough, the DVD OS had a random number generator which could (metaphorically) spin the dice and dynamically make choices. But it turned out that there wasn’t enough memory to do linked lists. Hmm… Then we ran into Dr. Dean Radin. Dean’s research into consciousness effecting random number generators (showcased in the Rabbit Hole movies) quickly put the notion of linked lists to rest. What his research said, plain and simple, is that one’s intent could push random quantum events out of randomness! Kind of like how one’s consciousness can manipulate those I Ching coins into an alignment with the unseen realities….The realities of future and change… This was getting interesting indeed. It was time to talk with the real DVD authoring nerds. The questions were:
1. Could we set it so only a certain percentage of interviews on any one subject would play?
2. Could we make it so that the DVD player randomly chooses which of those interviews to play and in what order? Of course the really big question the average real DVD authoring nerds couldn’t answer was: 3. Given the above, is it the DVD player or the viewer that chooses which selections play at any given time? The answers were “yes” to questions 1 and 2. We’re all still chewing on number 3. |
