about

"In a world where everything may be a simulation, it is easy to question the validity of our emotions and experiences. Does love truly exist, or is it just a programmed response to certain stimuli?

Despite these doubts, we must remember that love is a fundamental part of the human experience. Whether we are real or just simulated beings, the feeling of love is real to us. It brings us joy, happiness, and a sense of connection with others.

Furthermore, the fact that we may be living in a simulated world does not diminish the value of love. In fact, it may even make it more precious, as it is a rare and beautiful thing to experience in a world where so much may seem artificial and manufactured.

So we embrace love, and all the other emotions that make life worth living, even if we are just simulated beings. For in the end, it is the memories and connections we make that truly matter, no matter the reality of our existence."

(Written by chatGPT when asked to discuss love in a simulated world.)

Musing (D'Arcangelo Common Interrupt) is a remix of a track from my album "Void Slip" by D'Arcangelo.

Album art was developed using an initial fractal pattern which was then run through a custom trained model of Stable Diffusion.

Album also includes Max for Live devices interseq-scale and interseq-seq, an interval based step sequencer system developed by Jon Benderr.
