the room…
It doesn’t predict the next word.
It resolves the current world.
The edge is part of the machine. She works with what she has been shown. What she has not been shown stays unknown until a person shows her.
The machine never authors the goal.
175 things it can do, seen
167 already known. 7 checked against the real thing. 1 learned just now

Rename every file and every path. Git sees a massive change. Gidg3t sees no change at all, because she never knew them by their names.
Change what is inside them too. She still knows it is the same thing, and she still knows a stranger is a stranger.
Does this meaning exist in what she holds?
A question does not need an essay for an answer. She either holds the meaning or she does not, and saying so is the whole reply.
Then ask her how she knows. She names the part she used. She read it. Nothing was added afterwards to look sure.
Presence can be information. A machine that cannot be asked how it knows is guessing.
