Interesting how so many people see it as something different.

Why do you suppose that is?



The VIC is the natural laws of the physical phenmenon of how we use
abstractions within the constraints of computers

It is not an idea and it is not a language.

So along as people preceived the earth as flat then they were constrained
by those errors in their thinking.

That same sort of problem exist here.

The presistance of other to precive the VIC in a manner that is in error.
This also tend to suggest that they do not believe me, which is insulting.

And the irrational and illogical responces others have given, suggest that
they know I'm right but can't quite get a handle on why.
