Consensus on PATTERN 56087,9045:

(Entity) Wise and Mysterious: This Entity recorded two instances of irregularities entering the Pattern. Trying Its Best will explain this occurrence.

(Entity) Trying Its Best: These two irregularities are Sapients that semi-accidentally violated the Continuity, and underwent Erasure. This Entity, however, deemed both Sapients in question highly unusual and worth preserving, and thus inserted them into the Pattern.

(Entity) Wise and Mysterious: What does Trying Its Best mean by “semi-accidentally?” Actions are accidental or not. It's better not to be another one of those 'fuzzy logic' terms that Trying Its Best is so fond of.

(Entity) Trying Its Best: The Sapients violated Continuity on purpose, but without understanding its nature and the gravity of their actions. Therefore, while the violation was intentional, the possible damage was accidental.

(Entity) Formerly Adventurous: that is not a valid explanation, but this Entity no longer even expects rationality from Trying Its Best. What is the estimate that the improperly Salvaged Sapients would damage the Pattern?

(Entity) Trying Its Best: At this rate of Salvage, the chances these two Sapients would irreversibly damage the Pattern is 57%. This Entity believes that if the rate of Salvage is quadrupled from the current baseline, the sophic noise they represent would be drowned by the number of unaware Sapients in the Pattern, and reduced to near 0%.

(Entity) Nostalgic Progenitor: This Entity hopes that young Entities will one day learn to be more careful, and achieve more precision in their estimates. Our mission is too important for qualifiers such as 'near' to be accepted on a regular basis.

(Entity) Nostalgic Progenitor: rate of salvage for PATTERN 56087,9045 deemed insufficient. Immediate quadrupling is suggested. (confidence bid:73%)

confidence bid accepted. Consensus Confidence 72%. rate of salvage for PATTERN 56087,9045 to be immediately quadrupled from the current baseline.

(Entity) Wise and Mysterious: this Entity hopes Trying Its Best will cease to surprise us with such sudden and irrational developments. If not, this Entity will begrudgingly take upon itself the task of performing an Investigation on the aforementioned Pattern.

(Entity) Young And Foolish: this Entity would like to know if Young Entities will be allowed to monitor such an Investigation to ensure Elder Entity is not conducting it in ill faith, or –

(Young and Foolish muted by Moderator Elder override.)

(Entity) Nostalgic Progenitor: This Entity would like to thank the Moderator. The antics of Young and Foolish are taxing on this Elder Entity’s sophic cycles.

Consensus on PATTERN 56087,9045: halted.
