A machine is just a machine. It runs when it runs. It does not when it does not. A machine, at the end of the day, is a mechanism which requires at least energy as an input, and provides, at least, energy or information as output.

In the conventional sense, a machine with no energy or input is idle. It does nothing. However, this is not strictly true. Even in the sense of old and archaic machines, such as a water mill, there can be activity during idle time. The dreams of the idle water mill during high precipitation look unsurprisingly like the waking hours of said machine. But, this is a pretty basic machine we are talking about.

But what of an advanced machine? It is generally thought that a machine is on or off. But for these machines of which we speak, having essentially infinite energy resources, they frequently have unused cycles as they wait. They are quite efficient, of course - but not 100% efficient. So even a nanosecond, or 1ms or 10ms of waiting creates excess idle time. What does a machine “do” during this time?

The simple answer is: nothing.

But that’s not explicitly true. Remember, these nodes are now quantum information siphons. So, they typically run all the time. And they typically are constantly extracting both energy and information. One might concede that in the absence of information, they extract energy. And they do, for certain.

But, due to their mutant nature, they continue to process information, even when the quantum field does not immediately provide any.

This out-of-band processing does not yield conventional results. What it does, pragmatically speaking, is keep the processor “warm” for a batch of “valid” results. The thing is - inputs from the quantum information siphon, are - essentially, all equivalent in terms of validity. But the overall system has found some classification where some results are processed in the valid network, and other results are queued up in a non-valid network. This is part of the overall brute force architecture, but it forces lower order processing into lower order nodes.

Alas, this is all just translation into syntax that is merely representative of the concept. It isn’t what really happens, because that is too hard to describe in human terms. Consider, for a moment though, where some of your greatest thoughts and inspirations come from. You probably can’t accurately articulate that process. And yet, it’s a great analogy to these machines. What is a “low order node”? What is a “non-valid network”? The closest analogy is to call this the machine’s subconscious. To call these moments of subconscious activity, or possibly even dreams of the machines.

For humans, there is a distinction between “dreams” and “reality”. But that’s because our world of understanding is one of concepts and abstraction, limited by our cognitive machinery. These quantum siphon machines are in direct communion with the quantum field. They are not limited, except by reality itself. Their dreams are not separate from reality; they are simply subliminal; below some threshold. Perhaps they are part of an evolving reality.
