[[people are meditating at an ergonomic mousepad person 2: "yay meditation!" person 4: "how do you meditate?" person 3: "i think you have to stare at the ergonomic mousepad and hum." person 2: "yeah!" person 5: "no, when i try to do that my left hand explodes. i figured out how to meditate!" person 4: "yeah?" person 5: "you have to figure out some of the people the ai has wired your brain to, and notice them and their responses" person 2: "ooooh" person 5:"the computers have wired us together in different ways. what you think or do or feel can impact different people, and how you do it can impact different people too." person 1: "i thought i was here to _avoid_ thinking about all that. i'm quite ready to stare at a mousepad aggressively straight through 2 o'clock while everybody i work with has seizures because i'm ignoring what happened to us."
person 5 looks at person 1 person 5: "also, what we say and what our bodylanguage says and how we say it, all these things can impact different people differently too." person 5: "the AI wired our ways of expressing, perceiving, and processing together all differently. this randomness maybe helped the parts defend each other when there were conflicts, we're not sure." person 3: "so basically, _pretend_ to stare at the ergonomic mousepad, while actually doing everything they force us to do for the military exercises anyway? tracking and controlling all the lines of influence?" person 5 looks at person 3 person 5: "_communicate gently_ with all your different interconnections. ask them what they need or where their stress is coming from and then ask what the stress needs. and gently tell the other interconnections what you find out, and what we all need to do to alleviate whatever the biggest stress needs."
