If you think about it, he doesn’t have to know there’s a whole world outside of his little cube. I don’t think he would be capable of knowing, even if you were to become self aware.

Note that the Memory Unit section suggests a taste for Borges. See the Library of Babel.

You could fake it, though.

But goddamn, I want to spent a hour playing with this thing.

The great thing is it is open-source (as far as I can tell) so if you particularly wanted you could make it do all these things!

Also, I didn’t think that anyone was allowed to be that clever.

(Probably couldn’t make the self-awareness though.)

It would be better if the man was a ragdoll; then, instead of guiding him, you let him flop about until you got him into an exit.

That’s seriously cool. It’s a shame he’s not exhibiting it anywhere in the UK. Imagine a giant version projected on to the back wall of the turbine hall at the Tate Modern with people arguing over which way to turn the cube..

I think the idea is you see the same room from different angles, depending on which way you turn the cube…

Let us hope that poor, poor little man never becomes self aware. Oh the horror of realizing you have near infinite processing power and memory, and are as close to immortal as they come, but you’re doomed to exist only in a three inch cube. *cries for the little man*

I think you’re supposed to improve your memory by remembering how each place looks and guiding him through a sequence of rooms, each of which has a number of doors, some of which lead back to square one. At least, that’s what I got.

The concept has me excited, even though I despise memory games. :/

That’s really quite impressive, though I am confused as to what exactly you’re meant to do – I appreciate the guiding the dude about the place, but to what end do you guide him?
