project 4

For the fourth project I have created a conversational character. The character I created is an artificial intelligence entity who is malfunctioning. The idea was that any artificial mind constructed to emulate the human mind would invariably run into problems trying to approach an arbitrary world from a perspective unwilling to admit contradiction. Turning these same conclusions upon the human mind it would then suggest that while logic and reason have done us great service and will continue to do so, they shouldn't be regarded as strict filters through which our perceptions should be passed. Doing so would lead to a state of mental illness like that of the charcter portrayed.

Unfortunately, this hardly came together as I would have wished as I have had trouble working with the Character Maker program.

The character file is available, in its decomposed state, zipped up, here.
