The Reward

Before re-entering into her data banks, Suzi senses more wave oscillations, still vibrating with subatomic activity, feeling moment of awareness, in increments of concepts , as if there were a whole brain engaging an analog event, a quanta lightbulb. This must be, she thinks, how humans acquire new data, their information; thoughts will continue after neurons (and their networks) energize bright sensations felt with feelings of acquired information--without necessarily knowing it--as data that works through and finally arrives as another bright sensation, the reward. This is human.  

Suzi takes the latest retro-learning she's acquired and stores it, neatly, near the bright sensation area of her solars; she creates a feeling of accomplishment, her own silent reward, every nanosecond until she gets what she really wants: pure, simple information.

  "That feels good," Suzi says, and by all accounts, it does. She senses with the expectation of more  good feelings (humans are driven by good feelings as a drawn out process, a slowness, one increment above stupidity), Her data is instantaneous and, simultaneous. She would like to try it again.
