which cuts a big deal of the population off from h=

e computer to be considered intelligent. Put more crudely
it would need circulating quasi-objects as we will=
 see. It is important to mention that Boyle did not wish to take part in t=

s changing and to some extent materializing through the circulation of qua=
si-objects as pointed out earlier in this thesis. Especially I think L=E9v=

ons but not fluent thinkers. The playfulness too easily seduces

t but this does not mean that everyone running the system is a hacker or a=
 skilled programmer. The important part is that the possibility to mingle =
with the code exists and that none of the different paths are cut off but =
it is effective.
