This matter really can't be talked about in the clouds. It can only be shown.
The child is still 5 months into the pregnancy. You are asking about an
ultrasound. Wait until birth and I will show you then.

Okay, you've got my interest. I'll look forward to this. One thing though. Can
you amplify what you mean by "scripts" a bit more at this point? I know what a
movie script is and a script as a set of steps or specifications that one must
go through to accomplish anything, i.e., an algorithm. Do you then mean
"algorithm" by "script" here? Near as I can tell, "algorithm" is the generic
(and more general) way we have of speaking of "software" or "programming" with
regard to computers. But while programming is a very specified form of an
alogrithm, any set of procedural steps, whether structured mathematically, in
arcane symbolic code or ordinary language, can be described as an "algorithm",
too.
