==September 30, 2002 - Victor Laxman== I’ve spent the weekend trying to pick up traces of phend’s KI without success. I’m frustrated with my lack of understanding of the situation, but I’m not sure what else I can do. So I’m moving on, and thought I would bring everyone up to date. As many of you know, certain members of the DRC team have been making use of the cavern MT links primarily to verify their stability. My team has made substantial use of these links, and quite frankly, would find it hard to live without them. We feel that they’re as reliable as any Linking Books we’ve found to date. Without getting into a debate on the stability, just wanted to let you know that we’ve managed to improve their functionality. The processes and mechanisms in the Nexus are definitely KI related. It’s apparent that the MT links were adapted to be used in conjunction with the KI, even though we’ve been making use of them without that function. Anyway, long story short, for security reasons we put high priority on getting the KI identifcation feature to work. It’s now functional and translated, using basically what we learned from the KI itself. What that means to MT users is that, in the near future you will find that you will need to register your KI at a particular MT link in order to have it show up as a destination in the Nexus. I should also mention that it’s my opinion that the MT links should be approved for all cavern personnel. V ==October 3, 2002 - Dr. Watson== Vic, I completely understand how useful the MT Books are for getting around efficiently. However, there are still safety and reliability issues to address before giving the MT system final approval. Specifically, the oddities of the Nexus are of particular concern to me. It’s easy to get excited and jump the gun, but we need to keep safety as our number one priority. I’m putting this on the agenda for further discussion in next week’s meeting. Dr. Watson ==October 8, 2002 - Victor Laxman== Dr. Watson, With all due respect… (I always love a good debate.) It seems as if we’re certainly already using peculiar D’ni technology all over the place – the linking books being the first example. So the fact that we don’t understand the subtleties of MT/Nexus linking shouldn’t bother us. It reminds me of quantum theory. No one knows exactly how it works, but it’s incredibly reliable and repeatable. (I know you’re a sucker for quantum arguments.) ;-) I’d love to see more research into the Nexus “distribution” behavior. (For all we know it could even be accomplished mechanically.) But I don’t think we have the time. There is too much other work to be done, and the MT/Nexus links actually help us work more effectively. Did I change your mind? V ==October 11, 2002 - Dr. Watson== As we discussed in this week’s meeting, you don’t really need to change my mind, Vic. I agree with you in principle. I just want us to keep the safety of everyone in mind and not jump the gun. We’ve added the Nexus to the schedule. It probably won’t take as long as some of the larger areas to verify, but let’s stick to the formalities of the approval process. Dr. Watson ==October 14, 2002 - Dr. Kodama== Then let’s place the formalities of approval on the fast track. As in tomorrow? The MT System has been working perfectly for my teams and it would be nice to have it official as soon as possible. Dr. K.
