[HOAX] Isaac CARET - Drones [HOAX]

TiXo could be this in Wikipedia: "The TX-0, for Transistorized Experimental computer zero but affectionately referred to as tixo (pronouced "tix oh"), was an early fully transistorized computer and contained a then-huge 64K of 18-bit words of core memory. TX-0 went online in 1956 and was used continually into the 1960s."

possibly refering to TX-0... pronounced "tix-oh".

wiki: TX-0

The TX-0, for Transistorized Experimental computer zero but affectionately referred to as tixo (pronouced "tix oh"), was an early fully transistorized computer and contained a then-huge 64K of 18-bit words of core memory. TX-0 went online in 1956 and was used continually into the 1960s.

they later go on to talk about how it was eventually used for advancing speech and handwriting recognition as well as program debugging. I guess this could play into his interest in language and computer engineering. apparently it was only really used up until the 60's and his story starts in the mid to late 80's... its not unlikly he would be about the right age to have seen or at least heard of a tixo during his grade school years.

edit: damn klatunictobarata, you beat me to it by 6min... grrrrr

I was trying to determine his age because he says that it was basically introduced to him when he was in grad. school

Later in his report he goes on to state that "...most of us are retired now..."

so if its 2007 and Isaac is retired, lets figure out how old (round about) he is

being as that I am only 25 I'm not too sure what the going age for retirement is?

his voice on the radio stations tape does not sound elderly, nor does it
child-ish, so i'm thinking middle aged over his thirties and forties. you figure he was out of grad school and working in his field before 87.

oh wait... grad school? i saw grade school, now im going to have to go back and look because my who timeline is thrown off now. i guess he could have gone to grad school at MIT.

I listened to suicide virus post and the st.louis tape of isaac and elonka

so we can determine this from isaac:
1. he is male
2. he likes codes, hacking and the like
3. he has been to more than one 2600's (suicide virus provides a link and then theres another that explains what this is)
4. he is probably a local to the st.louis area b/c that radio program is a local station to st. louis

How do we know this is the "Isaac" of the CARET documents? Did he ever claim to be such on the radio show? I didn't listen yet so I don't know.

there is basically a preface in script (on the virtuallystrange, link)
that implies, this is the 'Isaac'. you 'll have too read it or whatever.
Although Isaac comes in at like 30 mins into the talk or whatever it seems that he makes a brief statement then hangs up and this is after waiting an extensive amount of time to get on the air(the host syays something along these lines of "sorry too keep you waiting so long"). He makes a comment about asking how long it took this Elonka lady to crack this code, she answers, and then he asks again how long it took. He also says something like that he met her before at 2600 meetups, he specifically says meetUPS not meetUP.
It is very brief and too me at least he has a distinct voice, I almost thought he was foreign for a brief second but i no longer do.

anyone have an idea?

...if these points have been brought up and i forgot sorry, hard to remember what we have and haven't been over, but i'll make them brief...


1. We keep calling that marking a "T", but what if it's an "I"....as in Isaac.

2. I have some questions about the copier. I know someone who worked in military intelligence and they mentioned the restrictions on copiers in classified environments. Not just top level stuff, but even the day to day activities of government service civilians and random military staff. The copiers keep track of how many pages have been copied as well as what. When you copy something you have to document it all so that it can be compared to the statistics from the machine. Any jammed pages or other problems have to be turned in and addressed as well.

3. I'm still so weary on the fact that he left the facility with the pages stuffed in his pants. As well as the fact there are no obvious creases on the scans. I assume there should be some markings from where his belt or pants held the papers against his body. It seems like such a weak story as compared to the intricacies of the primer and pictures. Which means the explanation is either a weak excuse, in light of all the other effort put into it, or it's true and security at a place with armed guards was lax.

I know these have been brought up but they still seem odd to me. If this is a hoaxer I think we have to find these little elements that they may have overlooked while concentrating on other facets.

you know when i looked at the T mark, it resembled almost like a potion bottle being that the top is skinny and the bottom is wider, so to speak.
but I highly doubt that, thats what it is.

nonetheless, instead of him 'stuffing' the paper in his pants, what if he wrapped them around his thigh, i too have been thinking about how crease-less they are and the only way i can think that can be done, when they're down your pants, is by using tape and 'wrapping' them on the thigh. It would provide a curved surface that would be concealed, and wouldnt cause a crease, but as far as how he did it i'm not too sure.

I've been searching the U.S. patent database and haven't come up with anything really connected to this. Some patents are pretty vague but could be connected in some way. However some of my searching led to this:

Xerox PARC Forum presents..

Vice President Enginnering of Alien Technology?

Perhaps we should research this XPARC guy.

good find pjslug
i did a search and this is what i turned up

if you type: roger stewart vp engineering alien technology

exactly how it is, and google images it, the first picture is of the guy and gives a brief bio, click on that scroll to bottom of page, his pic is towards the bottom

Nevermind. He is the VP of engineering for a company called Alien Technology. Oh well, it was worth a shot.

The concept of the "mission statement" was reverse engineered from alien technology as well, and was one of PACL's many innovcations. So no, there's no problem with their use of the term.

I admire your humour but it borders on ridicule - I'm up for it though if you are.

Co-incidental similarity ?
What would you call it if you had to say it ?

I am assuming he chose the name "Isaac" because of Isaac Newton. Isaac Newton discovered gravity, and that's what the device he was working on did -- modified gravity.

You know, this whole time we have been looking to links with Palo Alto Research Center, Xerox, and XPARC. But if you read Isaac's story he clearly mentioned that some of his coworkers were plucked from IBM as well. Coincidentally when I was checking for boolean searches of patents on linguistic analysis or holographic substrate AND Palo Alto Research Center, many patents were displayed coming from IBM. I think we need to expand our search of employees that might have worked at IBM before PACL was formed; employees that might have been working on advanced computational algorithms or linguistic analysis.

What if Isaac is half hoax, half real? Let's say Isaac was unable to take anything out of the building, but he still knew a great deal about it. He decides he wants to tell other people what he knows (due to sightings, etc.) and needs a way to present it. If he just gets on ATS and tell people about it then no one will pay attention or believe the story. But, having personally done the reports and written documents he could almost exactly reproduce them. He has a post-doc education in engineering to go along with an analytical perfectionist mind. I don't think CGI would be incredibly hard for an engineers mind to learn. It's just patterns of structures and he's probably great with computers after all of his experience. So maybe Isaac tells a lot of truth in the story but had to fake documents, which he originally produced, to get his information out.

I'm not saying I believe this but I was trying to go through the thought process assuming that it's a hoax, but not with malicious intent. It's been mentioned how narrative and relaxed the tone of his letter feels. He throws in little jokes or references to other things that have checked out like when the PACL facility was checked out.

A good way to lie is to associate other known truths. It's the difference between, "I met a girl at the bar last night and slept with her." and "No you didn't." Compared to, "Right after Tony Parker hit that big three pointer I met a girl at the bar who happened to be a big Spurs fan and I ended up sleeping with her. *High fives all around followed by "He's a Jolly Good Fellow"*

He could be telling a mostly true story but backed with 'faked' material. I apologize if this has been brought up but I can't recall that it had. Just another possibility to throw out there.

yea but the written documents are near perfect as far as punctuation/context and spelling. whereas the webpage itself contains at least 5 faults in spelling and out of context errors.

unless, this was a purposefully attempted trick to 'dumb down' himself, i cant see him making both the documents and the webpage, simply because of these errors.

the only reason i can think of him dumbing himself down, would be to support the case that he took the documents and did not make them himself, if that makes any sense.

Parabol, that idea about a true hoax, or a hoax that is really true, is a good idea. It would at least explain where Isaac got his ideas from.

It doesn't put us any closer, but it is an idea to keep in mind. For years we've all heard rumors that the government was working on this type of technology. Maybe this was the only way Isaac could try to pass on the info.

Then again, maybe he has heard the same stories and just used them because so many people think it could be true.

I hate going in circles.

Sadly, circles are where we are going.

CGI : YES !!
CGI : So what.

Text analysis : Not conclusive.

We need to have someone come
forth as a witness. (Jesus, I just invited trolls).

With nothing further from Isaac, we ARE going
in circles.
