The Resonance

     Here on the black screen Suzi encounters an old algorithm, the original enter screen computer and putting edge-down analog text apparitions(E.S.C.A.P.E._D.A.T.A.), containing the once familiar idea of nations in networks, the loss of population and government on Continent III; it holds the stigma of structures(S.O.S.), human aural machinery that (by the mere architecture of evolutionary design) allows only for a uni-directional set of sounds to be heard. Yes, the humans once resonated in their own juxtaposed aural intellectual language(J.A.I.L.). Sharply, as soon as the old algorithm is gone, Suzi remembers, as if once a child herself, it was (or might have been) the first thing she learned.
