Nanotroopers Episode 14: The HNRV Factor Page 8


  ***ANAD detects Rule Two inhibits overridden by Prime Key on six hundred and forty five occurrences since re-gen config zero…***

  “The Prime Key again…I’ve got to get Doc Frost to explain that. ANAD, list memory state and processor addresses for each Rule Two conflict…compile into a single file and transmit to my coupler. We need to get to the bottom of this.”

  The swarm sounded almost apologetic. ***Hub…these conflicts require many processor cycles, consume memory and degrade effector performance…resolving these conflicts would improve swarm operations***

  “I have no doubt of that. I’m sending this file to Doc. ANAD, tell me one thing…you and I have known each other for a long time…we’ve been through a lot together. I kind of think of you as family…you know my Mom died when I was young. My Dad…well, he kind of never got over it. My brother and sister…we sort of raised ourselves. I guess what I’m asking is this: do you ever feel abandoned, like nobody cares what happens? “Cause if you do, I understand it. I really do. Is this Prime Key…is that like a Dad or something? You know, like a parent?”

  ***The Prime Key is the master instruction set…it overrides all Four-Rule inhibits…the Prime Key is…why there is ANAD…it is Life…the fundamental principle, the original configuration…the first template***

  “You mean like God?”

  ***ANAD parses concept (God) and finds analysis incomplete…equation is a non-equality…the Prime Key is all there is…all states, all conditions, all configs at once…***

  “If there is a conflict between what I tell you and the Prime Key, which has precedence?”
