There was that dream I had the other night, where I was inside a missile. I remembered today the similarity with this movie, in that Cochrane converted an ICBM into his warp ship. But why would someone create a connection between me and Cochrane? I didn't create warp drive in the past only to have someone block my memory of that, did I? It's funny, when I read something the other day about Data arguing with Einstein, it reminded me of something I was writing in my journal back in the early '90s. I was wondering why it was impossible to travel faster than the speed of light. A couple years ago I was writing about it again. The idea presented itself to me about why it was impossible, something about atoms not being able to work because electrons could not transfer energy faster than the speed of light. I wondered if it was possible to create some kind of process to transfer energy to those atoms, not unlike a cell's mitochondria works. Today I have been wondering if anything I remember about the past is real.

I imagine that memories consist of chains of neurons that are scattered through out the brain. The memories are formed from the neurons stored in certain parts of the brain and those specialty neurons create associations that form the memories. I imagine that the neuron’s that process sensory input and recognize that input as something we smell or hear, all combine to produce a memory of a specific event. I further imagine those chains weave throughout the brain with the connections of the axion and the dendrites of each neuron and some of the chain spans into the outer edge of the brain. If the outer layer of my brain was damaged, then the chain is broken. But some where in my mind, there is a process that recognizes that information is missing because of the fragments of those memories. When I sleep, there is some process that is trying to reestablish those connections of neurons and recover the full memory.

Why do I always remember that the speed of light is 186, 282 miles per second? Why do I have such a precise memory of that detail? Most times when you read about the speed of light, it is rounded off to 186, 000 mps. Why do I need such precision? And I still remember that pi is 3.1415926536 without looking it up. Why do I remember that?

When I sleep at night, my dreaming mind probably replays all those fragments and tries to line them up with other fragments, trying to make sense of it all.

I remember thinking about the coincidence of me being in Utah right around the time Elizabeth Smart was kidnapped. I remember driving around to find a paved trail that I was going to ride my bicycle on in the days leading up to Ironman Utah and I remember the way people were looking at my Jeep as I drove through a neighborhood. I also remember when I was leaving Microsoft, the HR person gave my director an odd look when I used a process acronym titled s.m.a.r.t. to describe a change that needed to be made in the operation of that group. I don't remember for certain, but I think it stood for specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, time-specific. If they had been following me around during that search for Elizabeth Smart, that is probably something they could use for circular reasoning, and thus allow this thing to continue wrecking my life.

I also remember using that s.m.a.r.t. acronym as a theme to one of my performance reviews that I gave to Kirk Tavener. I don't remember the year I did that. Maybe 2000. He told me something about it getting attention, but I'm not sure who he was referring to.

I am positive if I had a fair chance to examine the information that is undoubtedly being collected, if it is a judicial proceeding, I would be able to clearly pinpoint what is happening here to me and why.

I was thinking yesterday you could probably express circular logic like this:

y + z = a + z

Circular logic starts off as sort of an exercise in balancing an equation. So if you know what y + z is equal to, and if 'z' is a known value, then you can infer the value to 'a' to balance the equation.
