Haha! Programming double entendre!

Ya we need the programming scene

I'm curious, how do folks deal with the suspension of disbelief with this sort of texts? I mean I like it and all, but I can't help calling BS when a binary pattern on a screen can apparently put someone in a hard to define and very individual state of mind almost as fast as good ol' chloroform would do it's own thing.

Thanks for comments =D I can't make a sequel with the same character because the artist doesn't have anymore pictures of that character, and if I use another character for the programming scene it might as well be a separate thing. You could always search up 'hypnotic_screen' to get the programming/sequel though if you wanted that xD



I just got used to it. There are tons of stories/pictures where someone shines a light into the victims eyes and they're instantly hypnotized. Or they swing a watch back and forth once or twice and BAM they're under. It's like.. code geass. If you had to reason it out maybe you can think of it like a mix of photosensitive epilepsy and absence seizures?

That was actually the #1 issue I had with the image, but I just assumed it's because I'm a computer person: binary_eyes in non-machines usually doesn't make any sense to me.

If you want to have a bunch of lines and circles as a kind of fascinating imagery that's fine, but 1s and 0s specifically imply you're employing some kind of binary numbering and probably a coding scheme, neither of which I can pretend any person will be automatically receptive to. There's no reason to suspect even in fantasy that any binary coding schemes exist in the mind, that these would be accessible via visual representation of base 2 numbers, or even that anyone would be receptive enough to base 2 numbers for it to work since we're only raised to subconsciously work in base 10.

If someone has already been inducted prior to the image and is simply being programmed, then I would probably be OK with binary_eyes, because then I can pretend they've already been programmed with the encoding scheme to interpret the numbers.

Binary eyes in machines don't make sense either. You don't make writes like that to a sysout it'd be slow as hell, I mean come on did you find a debug model or something?

If you want to get technical this entire website makes no god-damn sense. At least with machines it can be interpreted as a metaphor for some form of data transmission, much like cloudy shapes are used as metaphors for thoughts, Zs are used as metaphors for snoring sounds, and kaa eyes are used as metaphors for hypnosis. With pictures like this, my interpretive capacities seize up because there's no intuitive metaphor to draw from it.

To expand on this, the person is being fed information that is disrupting their thought patterns. Their brains are being overloaded with visual stimuli from looking at the pattern on the screen, they are not processing the binary coding. So in this case their reasoning may be slowed/may not be aware of what they are doing until they look away from the screen for a while and let the brain 'catch up.'

Sure, while following this person the victim can wake up, but she will be confused for a few moments first. Not sure how often that happens to other people, but sometimes when I am driving and my mind wanders/you go on auto-pilot for a while, then you come back and you realize you just zoned out. But you're still automatically driving in a specific direction, regardless if you remember why/what you need to do when you get there for a while.

Or maybe I should've just gone with spirals for the picture since that works for most people ><

It's just weird that the visual patterns that happen to disrupt thought patterns are, by sheer coincidence of human biology, very similar to arabic zeroes and ones, in monospace bank-cheque font, not rotated or flipped, non-overlapping, of uniform size, arranged in an X/Y grid with a smaller <<en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerning|kerning>> than <<en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leading|leading>> like most written word is presented, in monochrome, on a plain monochrome background. That's a really amazing coincidence for it to be a brain-overloading stimulus.

I would go for something pixellated, or maybe something inspired by a <<en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pen...one_screen_microscope.jpg|subpixel matrix>>.
