Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol. 8

[Shannon]

Dayuumm Man thats incredible !! I get it, Man that your're not done yet, but still thats incredible!!

Shannon's quote:
" That is absolutely huge, I cannot begin to convey how big that is.  It took me 7 years of just thinking to come up with that concept, and 3 more to figure out how to actually implement it as a script"

Yes, and on top of that, whatever results we get are using a skeleton script that is only 10% optimized at the moment, and has not been through the other processing stage necessary yet either.

So we have achieved 1 of the 3 goals for Alpha (proving 6G safe).  We are already mostly finished proving the second goal (6G works as designed and intended).  And the 3rd goal is to understand where it can be improved still, which will doubtless require significant time.  Even after just 3 days, though, it has shown itself to be both complex and very beautiful.  It reminds me of watching a peony bloom, so far.

In Beta, I will make whatever additions are necessary, remove whatever scripting is no longer necessary and optimize the other 90% of the skeleton script.  Then we will test Beta, with goals being to verify that it works as designed and reaches full potential, and then before Final I will go through one more time and apply any additions and optimizations that I have come up with before I release 6G-Final to the public.

My ultimate goal is to make this generation good enough that I cannot develop it further because of limitations outside my control, and then build the library out fully in 6G.
