The machines can never imitate Feeling though. Personally, i can never find a piece charming or being touched by it if i don't like Feeling of this piece/creation--no matter how "matematically-correct" it is. A machine cannot transmit a feeling because it has no Awareness. And awareness is the degree of one being's consciousness about its connection to Infinity. I feel that we as creators strive for that--to bring back into life our connection with the Infinite. I know that people with true connection with Infinity (is called fierce innocence) can do just anything, they can take three stones, throw them in the air, and still the stones will fall into a pattern that will cary grace and a touch of the infinite in it. And in a subsurface level, beyound the superficial/artificial, that's what really touches people. I've seen people even often cry when they witness a free gesture of grace and selflessnes, and i know they can cry because they know deep inside of them that they had it all--this grace and innocence, but little by little they neglected it and gave it away in exchange for selfish concern about ego "superiority" and selfpresentation. So they cry for a lost connection. But man, i'm telling you, no machine will bring it back:) If one is stiff, egotistical, cut from every thing, "superiour", they can do all the right calculations of matematical proportions of harmonic progressions, etc, but they can only fool the blind with such 'creations'. _________________________________________________________________ Don�t just search.
