![]() Schrodinger posits a scenario in the field of quantum mechanics, "a paradox" in which "a cat may be simultaneously both alive and dead." I would love some discussion on this because, let me tell you, that kitten is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fascinating to me. If the kitten contains the MLA, does the kitten contain the same Milton we knew from the simulation? Or an earlier version number and therefore a different personality/no personality? Could the kitten contain a more portable EL0HIM? Even if there was no intent initially, just as there never was for Milton or EL0HIM, is there a person inside the kitten now? Or a kitten inside the kitten? Somebody else? Maybe the kitten is supposed to be an extra redundancy for the archive itself and contains the archive, or simply the MLA. Maybe the kitten has networking capabilities connected to the Archive (this would make it Arkady's pet project then, so to speak). Maybe the kitten is a more portable resource for information as well as a companion? That would be useful. Why was the kitten hidden? Did Elohim anticipate Soma finding the kitten, as another one of his games? Was it, to Elohim, just another aspect of his Garden to be explored by his children? Or was the kitten hidden with the intent of Soma /not/ finding it? Does Elohim know the kitten to be connected with ascension at the tower? Could the kitten be connected to the archives or MLA (who is now Milton), and thus, according to Elohim, should NEVER be found? Elohim may have been programmed to "create" the kitten, but for the kitten to be connected with the ending kitten, there has to be some inherent link before Elohim's birth between the kitten and its body, as there was with Soma. We can gather from this that Elohim at least knows of kittens in the archive (and how does Elohim read the archives? With Milton? By his own power?), but I doubt that this kitten is solely Elohim's creation. Mind you, Uriel is a Messenger of Elohim, and their source is.very biased. We see the kitten (and this may not be the same kitten, but let's say it is.it's a hidden kitten in the simulation at any rate) mentioned once more in Gehenna, and Uriel claims that it is a collection of accumulated knowledge on kittens from the archives, "breathed into life by Elohim." This may be totally true, partially true, or false. But why? Why is there a robotic kitten waiting on Soma?Ĭould it be that the folks at EL specifically built a robotic kitten that was to awake with the person they built? Did they program this kitten specifically? Or is the kitten uploaded from the simulation? Is the kitten only to be a pet, or does the kitten have other assistance qualities? They left little tools and a big archive and a troubleshooting program for the archive for Soma, after all. I still find it more likely that the kitten is robotic, and that finding and freeing the kitten in the simulation triggers the awakening of the robotic kitten, just as climbing the tower triggers the awakening of Soma. That an organic kitten with the exact markings as the kitten in the simulation just happened to be in the facility when Soma awoke AND was friendly to Soma, even seeming to ask for attention, would be a LARGE coincidence. You could say, Soma, upon seeing the cat in the simulation, was inspired to have a cat, and thus picked up the nearest kitten in the facility before walking out to see the all the world. ![]() ![]() The cat's appearance in the physical world depends on the cat's appearance in the simulation, and for this I also believe the cat's body is robotic. I guess we couldn't assume that and there's maybe discussion there, but I'd like to believe it for my trains of thought here. Let's assume that TALOS/SOMA is in the corporeal world, with a soul born from the simulation, and the cat at the end is as just as solid an object as TALOS/SOMA is at this point. The cat in the end does not show up if the cat from earlier is not found. Only by freeing this cat will TALOS/SOMA be shown holding and petting (!!!) a cat of similar, perhaps identical markings in the end. The cat runs away when it is freed from the box. A cat can be found in the game, hidden under the sands in a box. ![]() There are really only two things we know with certainty: 1. Let's start with what we know for sure about the cat. Look guys i'm going to go ahead and say that cat is probably important being on the title and all thatĪnd while i don't have answers i'm going to put out some information we know, some we can infer, and some questions that i don't have answers to but my spur thought on the kitten ![]()
