Abernathy and Walter were exhibiting other aberrancies beyond memory recall of previous builds. They were hearing voices. Talking to someone. A simple cognitive dissonance. That's all. I... I'd agree, except... ...they were talking to the same imaginary person.

Oh, yeah? Someone named Arnold. Arnold. With due respect, sir, I'm not sure you've told me the entire truth about this situation. I did tell you the truth, Bernard. What we do here is complicated.

For three years, we lived here in the park, refining the hosts before a single guest set foot inside. Myself, a team of engineers, and my partner. - You had a partner?
- Yeah. When the legend becomes fact,

you print the legend. My business partners were more than happy to scrub him from the records, and I suppose I didn't discourage them. His name was Arnold. Those early years were glorious. No guests, no board meetings, just pure creation.

(machines beeping) Our hosts began to pass the Turing test after the first year. But that wasn't enough for Arnold. He wasn't interested in the appearance of intellect or wit. He wanted the real thing. He wanted to create consciousness. He imagined it as a pyramid.

See? Memory, improvisation, self-interest... And at the top? Never got there. But he had a notion of what it might be. He based it on a theory of consciousness called the Bicameral Mind. The idea that primitive man

believed his thoughts to
be the voice of the gods. I thought it was debunked. As a theory for understanding the human mind, perhaps,
but not as a blueprint for building an artificial one. See, Arnold built a version
of that cognition

in which the hosts heard
their programming as an inner monologue, with the hopes that in time, their own voice would take over. It was a way to bootstrap consciousness. But Arnold hadn't considered two things. One, that in this place,

the last thing you want the
hosts to be is conscious, and two, the other group who considered their thoughts
to be the voices of the gods. Lunatics. Indeed. We abandoned the approach. The only vestiges that remain are the voice commands
we use to control them.

But, for all his brilliance,
I don't think Arnold understood what this place was going to be. You see, the guests enjoy power. They cannot indulge it
in the outside world, so they come here. As for the hosts... the least we can do is make them forget.

But some of them are remembering. Accessing fragments of Arnold's code. If I may ask, what happened to him? Well, he died. Here in the park. His personal life was marked by tragedy. He put all his hopes into his work.

His search for consciousness consumed him totally. Barely spoke to anyone,
except the hosts. In his alienation,
he saw something in them. He saw something that... wasn't there. We called it an accident,
but I knew Arnold

호스트의 비정상적인 행동 및 초기 속임수

애버나시와 월터는 목소리를 듣거나 아놀드라는 가상의 인물과 대화하는 등 비정상적인 행동을 보였습니다.

내레이터는 처음에는 상황에 대한 정보, 특히 아놀드라는 이름에 대한 정보를 숨겼습니다.

내레이터는 파트너와 함께 공원의 초기 3년간의 개발 과정을 설명합니다.

내레이터의 파트너인 아놀드는 기록에서 삭제되었습니다.

아놀드의 연구와 양원제 마인드 이론

호스트는 첫해에 튜링 테스트를 통과했지만 아놀드는 진정한 의식을 추구했습니다.

아놀드는 인공 의식을 만드는 것을 목표로 양원적 마음 이론을 기반으로 연구를 진행했습니다.

이 이론은 이미 반박된 것으로 여겨졌지만, 아놀드는 이를 청사진으로 삼았습니다.

아놀드의 접근 방식은 호스트가 내면의 독백으로 청각 프로그램을 듣는 것이었습니다.

이 접근 방식은 의식이 있는 숙주의 위험과 미치광이와의 연관성 때문에 포기되었습니다.

아놀드의 작업의 결과와 그의 운명

내레이터는 게스트는 공원에서 권력을 추구하고 호스트는 이를 잊게 된다고 설명합니다.

일부 호스트는 아놀드의 코드 조각에 액세스하여 기억하고 있습니다.

아놀드는 공원에서 사망했고, 그의 개인적인 삶은 비극적이었습니다.

아놀드는 의식을 찾아 헤매다가 소외감을 느끼고 호스트에 대한 오해를 하게 됩니다.

그의 죽음은 사고로 간주되지만 내레이터는 그렇지 않다는 것을 암시합니다.
