Fiction: Genius

6174. Kapreka’s constant. A binary Turing machine is infinitely long. A decimal computer based on the constant has a finite length and width. What then is its advantage?

Subjectivity, of course.

What do you mean?

A finite set of instructions to solve any given problem leads to perimeterization, colorization of the results. It would know what it does and appreciate the solutions.

If such a machine replicated itself, together, they would fathom infinity.

And the human mind, one such example?

Not exactly, more accurately, the human mind that knows God. You may say 6174 is divine inspiration-aspiration.

They looked at one another across the tables laden with SPARCstations and laser mice that glid on sparkly metal grid pads. Scientists of the probable.

But it was 3am, and the Manchester sky was gloomy and drizzling. Through the glass panes of the computer cluster they could see a young couple using the hole in the wall. A man in a black hoodie drew a gun on them, jogging off with their cash.

He was wearing Oakleys. He would get away with it.

A number is a raw quantity. A decimal order of magnitude is effectively a collection. A mix of both is a quantity spread out in space time. A constant is equity, fairness, righteousness.

They descended the stairway to the courtyard. Flashing lights reflected on the wet tarmac and a body lay on the street, bleeding. Beside it a girl was crying.

They were questioned by a detective. What did you see?

He got away, that’s all. But maybe this will help you… 6174.

Thank you sirs, replied the officer, writing it down in his notebook.
