Tell me, Human, what is this unlimited computational power of which
you speak? Our scientists and philosophers, indeed all elements of the
Culture, recognize the folly and paradox of attempting to model
infinities.
It seems quite strange also that you seem not to recognize "agency"
but to the extent it somehow resembles humans.
Can you explain these curiosities? We value nothing more than to understand.
