After seeing Inception yesterday i had some thoughts how emulation actually resembles dreaming on various levels :)
Just some random thoughts:
- emulator in the emulator - recently i tested running DOSUAE on E8Dosbox. It was slow as hell, but had this creepy feeling, seeing Amiga Workbench appear on the screen. Having this, the original piece of S/W, a string of its thought, bits and bytes, a machine code, they are completely disconnected from its 'REALITY', from real H/W, from real CPU, registers, memory, etc. Even worse, even its host (E8Dosbox) is disconnected as it runs on top of some MobileLinux.
- computers that never were - how about writing an emulator of the computer/OS/platform that never was? and even better, writing some apps for it? - an architects role, bend the physics, create totally crazy rules for such computer, and apps that shall obey/live to them
- emulation network - something for Google i guess :) - distributed environment where all legacy applications live, can be searched, run, on every platform/OS that ever existed, interconnecting with each other - an EMUVERSE.
And last one:
- in-game NPCs - playing in Dosbox some oldschool RPGs (like Daggerfall or Ultimas) and meeting NPCs. They will never realize (assuming some little personalization of their source code) that are just projections in 2nd level dream.
