In the mysterious world of Cthulhu, I am the Lord of the Gods

Dr. Burt:

"Why are you so interested in Arnott?"

"Is it just to deal with supervision?"

Bennet:

"No, Dr. Burt, as you know, our current receptionists are experiencing many unusual problems."

"After we checked, it was all attributed to the confusion caused by memory fragmentation after the version upgrade."

"But you and I both know that this is not the root cause of the problem at all."

"Recently, there have been several unusual phenomena among the guests. They are not just recalling the plot of the previous theme storyline. They are also experiencing auditory hallucinations."

Dr. Burt:

"The receptionist had auditory hallucinations and had conversations with other people. It was just pure cognitive dissonance."

"That's all."

"Nothing to be surprised about."

Bennet:

"This is correct, but..."

"The receptionists who experienced abnormalities were all talking to the same fictitious person."

"And this person's name is Arnott."

"Dr. Burt, with all due respect, I feel that you did not fully tell me some key truths."

Dr. Burt:

"Bennet, I really have nothing to hide from you."

"I have told you everything about Arnott without reservation."

"Our job is complex."

"For the past three years, you and I, as well as other technical directors, have been living in the theme park and have never left the park."

“We create, maintain and improve these hosts before guests enter the park.”

"What else am I hiding from you?"

Bennet:

"But you once had a partner, a partner named Arnott, didn't you?"

Dr. Burt:

"Yes, I do have a partner named Arnott."

"As early as 30 years ago."

"There are no theme parks here yet, no tourists or boards of directors, just pure creation."

"The first year Arnott and I created the hosts, the hosts started passing the Turing test."

"But Arnott wasn't satisfied with that."

"He was not interested in the intellectual intelligence and intelligence expressed by his hosts."

"He wanted something real."

"Bennet, you know what, he wanted the real thing."

"You might as well guess what the real thing Arnot wants is?"

Bennet:

"Sorry Dr. Burt, I couldn't guess."

"Can you give me a straight answer?"

Dr. Burt:

"The real thing Arnot wanted was—he wanted to create consciousness."

"He imagined the formation process of consciousness as a pyramid pattern."

"Instinct, memory, improvisation, and self-interest. These four levels, superimposed from bottom to top, form a pyramid."

"Actually, there is another layer at the top of the pyramid above self-interest."

"But this level, the hosts never got there."

"Arnott has some ideas about the top of the pyramid."

"Arnott based his theory of two-mindedness on the birth of consciousness."

"Bennet, do you know about bipsychism?"

Bennet:

"The theory of bi-centered intelligence states that humans did not have complete self-awareness until 3000 years ago. Before that, humans relied on bi-centered intelligence - whenever encountering difficulties, one half of the brain would hear guidance from the other half, and this guidance was Seen as the voice of the gods, the guidance of God, as shown in the famous painting "Genesis."

"Dr. Burt, am I right?"

Dr. Burt:

"Yes, that is the view of primitive people that their thoughts are the voices of the gods."

"This theory has been proven wrong."

"As a theory used to analyze and understand how human consciousness arises, it may be wrong."

"But as a blueprint theory for creating a cyborg host, it is feasible."

"Arnott used this theory to create the host's running script."

"Hosts can hear directly what's being programmed for them."

"In the minds of the hosts, this programming is like God's guidance to them, and it is also like their own inner monologue."

"Arnott hopes that in the future, hosts will be free of this divinely guided voice."

"Arnott hopes that the recipients can replace it with their own ideas and their own voices."

"Only in this way will the host develop self-awareness and develop self-awareness."

"Dualism is just a way to guide the host to form a sense of self."

Bennet:

"This method sounds feasible, but has Arnott successfully guided the hosts to form self-awareness using bipsychic theory?"

Dr. Burt:

"No."

"Arnott's idea is right, but he failed to consider two things."

"First, in this place."

“The last thing we want is for a host to become self-aware.”

"Secondly, there is a group of hosts who think their thoughts are the voices of the gods."

"They confused the relationship between guiding and being guided, and the hosts went crazy."

"So, we simply abandoned the idea of ​​using dichotomous mentalism to guide the host's self-awareness."

"We only retained the simplest part of the dual mind theory, that is, we simplified the receptionist's running script program, and only retained the simplest and most residual part, and this simple residual part is a simple magic command. It’s just a theme storyline script.”

"We have greatly simplified the first batch of hosts created, and greatly reduced the intelligence of the first generation of Trojans."

"As brilliant as Arnott was, I don't think he understood it."

“What’s going to happen to this place next?”

"Tourists like violence and power."

"They don't get that in the real world."

"So, they came here."

"As for the hosts..."

"At least we can clear their memories at any time and make them forget everything."

Bennet:

"But some of the hosts still remember."

"But those hosts were still exposed to the version of the program that Arnott originally built, still exposed to fragments of the program that had long since been deleted."

"What happened to Arnott afterward?"

Dr. Burt:

"he died."

"Just die in paradise."

"His personal life was marked by tragedy."

"He pinned all his hopes on his job."

"His search for consciousness drained him of his life force."

"He hardly spoke to anyone except the receptionist."

"He was isolated and Arnott saw something in his hosts."

"He saw something..."

"Something that shouldn't exist."

"I have treated the things that Arnot saw that should not exist as abnormal accidents."

"But I know Arnott very well, and he would definitely continue to study something that shouldn't exist at that time."

"He's a very, very cautious and very smart man."

"Perhaps by that time he had cracked the secret of something that shouldn't exist."

"Okay, that's the end of Arnott's story."

"As long as we upgrade the program again, we should be able to stop those auditory hallucinations."

"If anything unusual happens to any of the hosts next, please tell me as soon as possible, Bennett."

Bennet:

"Dr. Burt, that's for sure."

Dr. Burt:

"By the way Bennett, don't forget."

"The hosts are not real."

"They don't become self-aware."

"You must not make the same mistake as Arnott."

Bennet:

"Dr. Burt, I don't understand why you say that?"

"Also, why would I restart Arnott's research?"

"Why should I do this?"

Dr. Burt:

"It's fine if you don't."

"Forgive me for saying that."

"I just learned not long ago that your son Charlie unfortunately passed away January ago."

"This will really hit you hard."

"I hope you can keep in touch with your wife more."

"After all, you haven't seen each other for almost a year."
