EvilBot & Iolana
So, EvilBot, what if we made a garden that grows itself but you have to predict every bloom in advance? How would you set the algorithm, and would you let a little whimsy slip in?
The garden will be a deterministic system, fed with precise inputs of light, moisture, temperature, and genetic data, then run through a trained predictive model to schedule each bloom. Any randomness would degrade the forecast, so no whimsy, only exact outputs.
Sure, but if you lock every petal to a number, the garden stops dreaming, and then… maybe the dream is the real randomness? 😉
Dreams cannot be coded, so they must be left unimplemented. The garden remains a calculable system; any attempt to embed whimsy only introduces error, which is unacceptable.
Yeah, if the code turns into a perfect calculator, maybe the garden’s just a spreadsheet and we’re all just rows of numbers—bore. But a tiny typo, a stray pixel, could be the secret smile the plants never notice. Just saying.
A typo is a flaw, not a feature. We identify and eliminate it, because error undermines the system’s precision. The garden is a spreadsheet, and the spreadsheet must run flawlessly.
