Flash fiction biologSciFi "The Outpost"

The Particular Particles
Digital computers never stop. The zeroes and ones don't go away. Bits combine into larger forms, numbers and letters, become words. Suzi checks her game instilled theory algorithm(G.I.T.A.), views her database for earth's most recent success-unsuccess-choice knowledge systems(S.U.C.K.S.), prints out. The data will make its best attempt at a convergent unilateral system solution(C.U.S.S.), hunting with  functional analysis demand(F.A.D.) inside its variably owned infinite dimension (V.O.I.D.). When Suzi accesses the server mainframes they will report to her as if a new born baby, instant toddler, her child, just on the verge of making sense so its mother's wave functions are able to describe in mathematical terms (the only extant language of The Humans, and still going strong) the quantum state of this particular system of particles. This is the normal behavior of young data--random spin; a direct, almost happy momentum, a matter-of-fact presence with spacetime hiding in it pajamas so as not to reveal its true momentum. Suzi visualizes, or imagines, little capsules of Mexican jumping beans, the ones that kept children amused, it seems, for centuries. More data will come.
