I disagree chunder.
I mean "self-actualizing software"?
If this is easy stuff to you, you could be making gigantic money in the private sector, dreaming up ideas for the corporate flunkies!
If Isaac fabricated the documentation on the CARET program, then he spent years making it.

You guys lol... When EngineeringType posted:

Now that would of been a good spot to stop reading lol... Come on, it wouldn't take hoaxers years to produce Isaac's engineering babble, maybe weeks or a month but not years for a nontechnical hoaxer lol. Somebody must be in a euphoric state of mind seeing people analyze their content like this. Years my a$$ lol... well yeah, that is where I stopped reading it.

The concept is not that far out - it's basically what you do when you write instructions on computer controlled engineering fabrication machinery. You'll find "self actualising software" in a Harry Potter film.

1. What is described in the "Isaac" documents has no precedent (as far as I know) not even in Harry Potter, where I think we can agree that within the fiction of magic, *spells* and such aren't self-actualizing.
2. From now on, it's put up or shut up. Fair enough?
3. By the way chunder, this isn't directed at you,

Given how strongly you seem to feel about this, I'm a little surprised that you're bothering to post here. What's that about?
Originally posted by pjslug We've discussed this many times in the past. He was given a report that was tailored towards management positions. He wasn't being given a technical lab report with equations and scientific notation. How many typical citizens could understand it if that were the case?

The report was supposedly made to describe the functionality and inner workings of the alien technology, the results were not meant to be understood by "typical citizens", but by other engineers. What we end up with however is an exquisitely gift wrapped package under the Christmas tree in a department store. When we look inside the “package” we find that it contains bits of cardboard and bad breath residue.

no, the documents were made to inform briefly the big wig military personnel overseeing the operation, not research engineers, lets try to keep the facts straight.
