In the Beginning (5 ratings) by Tony Wicker
Page 2 of 7 Being a student, this being informed one of the masters of this
uncontrollable energy loss during the process of constructing his theory. The
master severely informed him that all energy can be controlled at all times.
Therefore, it was his own lack of concentration that allowed the energy to be
diverted.
The reprimand was not taken kindly. Since he could absorb knowledge at a
rate
considered to border on genius and had already developed several dynamically
new
theories, this student’s pride was bruised. He attempted to salvage his ego by
challenging the master to follow the steps of his theory and to control all of
the energy involved. The challenge was accepted at once, to teach this impudent
youth a proper lesson.
Once all of the procedures were explained and an outline set forth, the
master began to follow the steps involved in the theory. He was determined to
deflate this student’s ego. As he neared the point where the energy loss was to
occur, the master stopped and pointed out a defect in the structure of the
theory.
This placated the master’s anger at the challenge because this could prove
to
be a very profound theory and the flaw appeared to be a minor oversight. He
graciously offered to make the necessary calculations to correct the theory.
Instead of accepting the offer, the student insisted that the master
continue
to follow the steps exactly as they had been outlined. The theory itself was no
longer an issue. The challenge was made to prove that all energy can be
controlled in every circumstance, and that it was the student’s lack of control
which allowed these grains of sand to be created.
The master argued that it was beneath him to follow the steps of an
obviously
flawed theory. The student’s arrogance was bringing back the master’s anger,
but
he again offered to make the minor adjustments and follow the theory to its
proper conclusion. However, he refused to follow the steps of the theory as
they
were.
Undaunted, the student countered that the theory may be flawed in the
context
of it’s original goal, yet, it proves that the blindly accepted axion that all
energy can be controlled is false. Therefore, what the master perceives as a
flawed theory is not flawed at all. Conversely, it is a completely new theory
as
well as a precedent.
This argument was unexpected and left the master without an acceptable
ground
to frfute the student’s logic. Now, the master’s own pride was insulted, so he
was even more determined to prove to this insolent youth the errors of his
arrogant ways. He decided to follow the steps of the theory and not only
account
for, but to also control every subparticle of energy involved. After proving
his
point, the master intended to subject this whelp to public reprimand and
ridicule.
When these beings construct a theory, they devote a portion of their
intellectual mass, a blank segment of themselves, as the site to simulate their
ideas. They use molecules of their energy to mold their thoughts into a mental
design. Even though this design has the appearance of physical existence to the
being, it is contained within his own mass. Once an idea or theory is
determined
to be flawed or otherwise unusable, the energy used to construct the simulation
is reabsorbed back into its original form. Thus, the model is "forgotten". The
being retains the fundamentals of the theory and can approach the same idea
from
other directions, only the constructed design is disposed of. Next Page Copyright © 1999, 2000, 2001 Tony Wicker, sffworld.com. All rights reserved.
