      Frankopedia / Frictionary - Hugh Mann

      dogma...

      FRANKOPEDIA/FRICTIONARY

      Some 12,000 years ago, an awesome bio-android was built, by some other, even more clever bio-androids.

      Their cleverness extended to making their new toy game level programable. For this bio-android was to play in the Game of Man, and its builders meant to orchestrate that game.

      A major requirement in the game was that this bio-android be made to worship its builders. With only 46 chromosomes, as opposed to its builders 56, but carrying an advanced partial problem-solving/free will program, the new device was indeed trainable through a loop-hole in its mind.

      The plot was brilliant, for although the game was being played in a magnetic universe codified by vibration, (a vibration attracts a like vibration) the new bio-android would be fooled into believing the universe/game was assertive.

      This would be accomplished by application of the formidable control tool of language.

      The new bio-android was, and is, Homo-sapiens.

      The universe was, and IS, ours.

      And YOU are playing the Game of Man.

      HIGHJINX AND HIGHJACKS IN THE REALM OF REASON

      The neighbourhood witnessing the deception of Homo-sapiens has become known as the Realm of Reason, and the deceit itself is becoming
