It is a way to form order from ideas, an *experimental* philosophy.
One can apply and implement a philosophy, taking it out of the realm
of ideas and simulate them in the machine.

That is called the "editor window" in our world that is displayed on
an electronic device called a computer display, but in Samael's world
it is a mirror into our world.  He misused it to rape the crown of the
Hebrew story (found in the Bible).
