‘My colleague, Dr Stiller and I, have a statement about the simulation model. Afterwards, we’ll offer refreshments. A misunderstanding has led to the publication of a report in the press that was misleading to the public. We want to take this opportunity to dispel this misunderstanding.
‘Strictly speaking, it isn’t a computer in the normal sense, but rather an electronic simulation system with extreme storage capacity. With this system we achieved the qualitative jump to the autonomous computer. We’ve created an artificial miniature world out of circuits, switches, electronic impulses and reflexes. When fully functional, it will lead a life of its own, according to our rules, and with its own dynamics.’
