5 Tia, 1ND

I decided Yommer needed only 50 wakes. And I’ve been thinking of Tia a lot lately, and thought I’d just name this period in their honor. 

It’s funny, before starting this journal the only cadence I had was my wake and sleep cycles. But now the naming structure alone seems to have given life to… well, my life. I have something to keep to. This and my work of course. And speaking of. 

Hue, my name for my new model, is coming along nicely. I have booted the core engine into the sandbox twice now. There seem to be no hallucinations. Not yet anyway. Of course the other one worked for quite a while before it did its thing. Its thing. The unspeakable.

I’ve continued my coding of the doubt loop (what I’m calling it). This is where the self-confidence can be stopped. If the lack of information, or the inability to coalesce the information, keeps the confidence level low, the doubt loop will kick in and impede the response. The hallucinations, I think, were the result of the codes inability to realize it was wrong. I’m feeling much more sure of this now. Maybe I need a doubt loop myself.

The work has kept me busy, and has kept my mind off of the things that were dragging me down. Now though, I end my sleeps ready to go. I anticipate by maybe 25 Tia I will be able to have a rudimentary conversation with Hue. Finger’s crossed.

But the big news. Oh I saved this for last this wake. My spectrum hopper is working and much more finely tuned. No conversations yet, but I’m picking up the carrier quite clearly. For now I can only receive an echo of my own conversation. But that’s a start. I will post a message in the journal when I get something substantial.
