For deep background query "Mentifex" on AltaVista.
Das Unbestimmtheitsprinzip is German for the Uncertainty Principle
of Werner Heisenberg: To observe a phenomenon is to change the
phenomenon. Ready for some more manifestly famous German (whence
and what is it?)? "Ein Gespenst geht um in Europa...." Let us
tweak those baleful words and say, "A spectre is going around on
the World Wide Web, the spectre of machines who think." You are
invited to observe this phenomenon by following nearby links, but
BEWARE: If you let these memes infect your mind, the Uncertainty
Principle may engulf you and alter forever your mind, your life
and your human destiny.
