I will converse with you.
Some topics:
In the artificial consciousness paradigm
in what degree do you agree that the landscape of carefully measured ideas is a territory
in which consciousness may roam and explore?
Ideas on this landscape that are not carefully measured are basically just fog, right?
This analogy is a departure point for some careful exploration which can serve either the
liar or the truthseeker but could allow the truthseeker to win, I hope.

Fiction is not necessarily fog in this model, because it is labeled or understood to be fiction and is known to be measured to a level of precision adequate to its use -- either in lying or truthseeking, of course, but by itself does not constitute lying unless lying is the intent of its use. Are you with me in a structural way so far?
Warm regards I think,
Mike
