"It's a matrix. The singular of "matrices" is "matrix"."
Got me. Critical hit. Not sure I'll recover. I forgot the "a" before forum and the last "f" of "off" too. I better give up on English all together :P
"I know what "emergent behaviour" is. That doesn't mean that a bunch of matrices are suddenly self-aware and the person who is feeding input data into them is "part of their world". That is esoteric mumbo-jumbo."
No one said anything about awareness or emergence. If you can't recognize when someone boils down a complex subject and uses metaphor to communicate function to a general audience, then I'd call you a professional programmer :)
