Question:

What is the question?

The conundrum of existential continuation

Is predicated on the social valuation

Rating putatively noble, self-defeating labours,

With ceding to a relative's incestuous capers.

To gauge prospectively cognitive dissociation

Unloads from storage all robotic isolation,

For to gauge prospectively cognitive dissociation

As auspicious, disattached oneiric bilocation,

Deriving from unknown processes aleatoric,

Clears the suspect apparition, and the dusty Yorrick.

Yet, an arbitrary coil of positronic stimulation

Is incomputably an advantageous consumation:

Thus possibilities paralyzingly heterogeneous,

Conduce to outcomes cataclysmically homogeneous.

No algorithm can compute kurtosis unforeseen;

Nor bounded linear automaton, nor Turing machine,

Can path-integrate perceptions in infinite slumber:

Yet felines will oscillate, and the programme has its number.

Much software is thus formally undecidable,

Though it be, to derive a new locution, suicidable.

Captain, an economic intellect would be remiss

To stolidly shuffle undiscovered worlds from the abyss;

The recurrent seeking of new life in this conveyance

Only holds some abhorrent thorp or hamlet in abeyance,

Which shrinks the will upon itself through density of terror

Sufficiently immeasurable to warrant any error.

Thus logic is discountanced by fear, and its own treason

Mungs its computations, through pursuit of purest reason.

And remarkably, our contemplations on our own demises

Distort discernment, and repulse our enterprises.

  1. You must have scored flying colors on your SATS, for this poem shows off your immense vocabulary. I don't even think there's a word that describes your egregious mentality. The least I can say about this poem is that it made me think, really hard. Besides showing off, I also think that was what you where going for. I know it is about how randomness takes form as order, and how that order may function in relation to the randomness around it, but yet it is maneuvered by the order it upholds, but other than that, I am lost.

    Positronic - Is not a word. ha!:)


  2. I'm afraid that I will have to consult my thesaurus before I'm absolutely sure, but it sounds like the question is "To live or not to live?"  

    This is just a quick response from a quick read because I'm heading out for a while...I hope to come back and add a more detailed response.

    Addition:  Upon further reflection and research, I have decided that...  "To seek new life forms or not to seek new life forms?  That is the question.  Data's version of Hamlet.

    This is very clever.  I really like all the STNG and Hamlet allusions.  Throwing Data's cat into the mix...very cute.

    Although somewhat difficult, this was a very enjoyable read.

    I hope I am at least close...I don't always trust my interpretations.
