probably this singleton is already here, represented by the complete
borganisation of the human-electronics systems... he is just simply
evolving gradually to higher degree of complexity, conscience.
...well that is not the purpose of my mail ;)...
you used the term "computronium" for optimized computational matters, i
find it a nice one... did you coined it or does it appear in some book
