Stochastic is not a word I hear often but yes, it's all random. Too damn random in my opinion. Didn't we meet in a different space-time continuum? You are a surveyor but have various other qualifications that all revolve around math. Maybe I'm connecting dots that aren't even there but it's coming back to me now: Person of Interest and personality types. But didn't you disappear for a while? Your name was different I think. That's all right since everyone I know on saidit, except Jason and d3rr, is doing it.

That small room with nothing in it is one of my worst nightmares but never reality and I hope to keep it that way.

I do not know what an ftl engine is but am guessing it is a way to escape the limits of time. If so, I wish you success because I want to get out of this time and place dominated by psychopaths who want to inject us with bad chemicals, not the good ones. Did you know that Kary Mullis was an avid user of hallucinogenic amphetamines? He was also a climate change denier.

Cheers
