Yes, I can agree with that.
My point is that for the most part it isn't how much data you have but what kind and what you do with it.
I can agree with that statement too. Data, by itself, is inert.
Did you not get the point of my blacksmith/sword analogy? You act like I hadn't even said it.
I get all this, I just don't see that it fits in with your hypothesis...
Information is what/one dimensional- building blocks.
cunning is how/2d- Adding those building blocks together to create advanced items.
wisdom is why/3d- Is being more then the sum of your parts.
My main query in this line was that according to this quote more information would mean more cunning and more wisdom. There's something else necessary in this equation... I think we both agree that a random conglomeration of "data" is essentially meaningless. Your theory indicates a process at work that you didn't identify. I do understand what you're getting at but you're missing some pieces. There needs to be some functional association here between good and evil and the soul particles. Do the information bits have charges perhaps, towards good or evil? Or is evil based, perhaps, upon false data and good upon true data...
My other query was into this quote Some information can be destructive. With both computers and souls.
As I just mentioned, I perceive data as being essentially inert... and was querying into the destructive posibilties. I think we've gotten to a point that shows that it's not the data
As far as the rest concerning light being a particle at all. I shall look through it. Take the time to digest it all and get back to you. Thank you for the time and effort you used to dig all that.
Do so... there's a lot there.
