Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol. 5

[Have at ye]

the new premise
Shannon:
It's going to remain a secret.  But I am pretty sure that it's going to make the goals easier to reach.


Me:
 This 'new central  premise,with which to  base DMSI on,would this also be applicable ,would you say,to other programs in the future as well or is it,  one and only specifically to  DMSI,alone????

Fear remover 4.9 after a year of development and upgrading from 4.8
New scripting tech.
Platinum Build and yet
3rd break through(recently) and
Now THIS???
WTF? how do  you do this stuff man and keep up with all else going on around and in your life. dang!!??
What in the world is gonna be in UMS2,by the time we 'get there' I wonder.???
It will be outta this world by then. geez.

This is only applicable to DMSI.  The central premise of the program is the key around which everything it is attempting to accomplish is based and built.  If it can be refined or optimized, then the result should be an improvement in how well the program as a whole works.  My understanding since I last built it has become more refined, and I now believe that the previous premise was aiming at something that was a good goal, but generated a significant amount of resistance at the same time.  The new premise aims to be as close as possible to the old one in motivation towards achieving the goal, while removing the resistance trigger.

There are going to be a lot of changes to how I do things by the time I finish DMSI 3.3.3, and then I will have a new skeleton script to work from as a result.  Lot of improvements going into this program, both in the skeleton script and in the DMSI-specific stuff.  In general, I won't be talking about them or reporting them.  I'll let the program's results speak for themselves when it is released, and you can decide what you think of the improvements I have made.

But there is a lot of rapid advancement happening behind the scenes right now, and it will probably continue into 2021.  I guess "it's time" now.

I think I can make a pretty educated guess at what the previous premise was, and am very glad that it's going to change and should result in more fun times, and fewer drama times.

what did you think the previous premise was?

Eh, I have a suspicion it was related to "best possible procreative match" with the target or something to that extent. [EDIT: as in, "influence the target to perceive you as the best possible procreative match" or somesuch]
