“Close enough for government work.”

Pablo Picasso*

       Today I did... I think I won't tell you what I did, just so the fact you don't know will annoy you forever. The curiosity of what I did today will eat away at the back of your mind. Slowly but surely you will be driven mad, mentally seeking an answer you can only fruitlessly guess at.

Anyway onto the flash fiction!

The Code Cloud

       John Geralds is a genius. He is also a stork. But not a stork in a bird sense. A stork in the fact that he delivers children. Artificial intelligences. His artificial intelligences exist in one massive cloud of data in his mass of servers that he is developing his technology on. In this cloud of data they can access each others variables. Though even when not accessing each others variables they can still see them. The artificial intelligences are quite advanced and have something quite like consciousness and so through this perception they can see each other consciousness. Almost like a psychic connection.

     John becomes a stork because he delivers children to the artificial intelligences. To allow the intelligences to learn he put a little world into the data cloud and after he programs more intelligences they are dropped into this world. And from the psychic-like data link the artificial intelligences can see the new children forming and “falling” from the part of servers where all the data is stored for artificial intelligences that John is creating and delivering into the world. People may think to call John a father instead of stork because he creates the children. Though really beyond the data cloud many scientists design the programs. He is the stork because he programs them into the data cloud and in actuality the stork is all the programs see as the origin of children beyond the stork and the data cloud doesn't exist.
