Chronicle IV of the time about to stop.

Article 1

Week after week, time doesn't look it but flies and the date we have chosen to stop it is irreparably getting closer and closer. After having tried to explain why I decided to stop the time I now must begin to seriously think and know how I'll manage it? To increase advertisements, as politicians do before elections is not enough; the main thing at the moment is to have to roll up the sleeves and to keep the promises. Think to it!

Article 2

It's time now to start and to ask how to manage it. To stop the time, while there is no instructions to apply, as it's the first time we try, we don't exactly know in principle how to manage it. Anyway, we have to startélaborating strong plans and testing different methods, using simulation techniques. As we've alredy said at many times, a computer is "stupid ant not automatically disciplined". A first generation computer is only doing what they teach it to do. Of course, we can involve (We've planned to doit...) earlier computers, second and third generation ones, but distrust generation conflicts they may occur... Figure out that, just when the time is about to stop, some are pulling right and others left? Thus-goldenrule-let's have tact, method, patience. Think to it!

Article 3

The theory: the computer (nobody knows why but that's so), has to have a specific part in obtaining the expected result. This part is not excluding at all using it with older and more fondamental tools like sickle and hammer, and a lot of other ones the list of which is practically endless.

Some unexperienced web-surfers, they are exclusive high-tech fans, maybe feel the choice of some of these objects incongruous a bit. We have to take care and precise here that The interest of their use only depends in our mind of their integration hybridation in quite new and original systems the effects of which radically transcend the basic functions we usaually use them for.

Article 4

The practice: in a way to illustrate with an example the previous article 4 promoted theory, let's take the toothbrush. Its first use, as its name means, consists of keeping the buccal cavity hygiene. Nevertheless that use, except in case of imperious medical contraindications, may be expanded not only to other body cares but to home tasks too, the toothbrush has not first been created for. The most important is a toothbrush, when plugged to a clever electromechanical system, connected to both sensors and tidalturbines, can have a real effect on viviparous reproduction. And, from that moment, the toothbrush has become, indeed, different... than a toothbrush. QED!

Article 5

Then we are in the position to have to create our time stopping machine (and not to get to the past, as some tried... with a wellknown result). Our works, the plans we already finalized before making our deal on the first day of Spring, are top secret classified, of course. We know that the rivalry (unfortunately not a "fair" one...) tried many times, especially by attempting to bribe our university most senior member, to catch the lower part of the machine. Furtunately unsuccessfully. Why the low part, you ask? I must admit we absolutely don't know in spite of the gendarmerie des Alpes-Maritimes inquiry. That's precisely the reason why we feel so anxious. Thus, we have redoubled vigilance and increased ten times the safety catches related to the lower part of the machine, which consists of four non driving wheels as those of supermarket caddies. We'll keep you informed about our inquiries. Think to it!

 

Article 6

The upper part of the machine consists of an electronic components set, temporarily organized in a hypotenuse square reverse geometrical order. The different parts, which are made interdependent by removable belts, allow to unmount in a few seconds the system, which then looks like nothing else but the most usual things. Only the in-phase system (system spirit) means and activates the required functions which don't exist out of it because 1 + 1 do not equal 2, but 3.

Article 7

The time stopping process we have elaborated and adjusted is nothing else but a relatively simple machine discarding imponderables which take place in its chaotic indeterminability parameters in accordance with fractaltheory. On this point, at least, neither Derrida a priori, nor Julia a fortiori are not in a position to contradict me. Think to it!

Article 8

At the contrary, we are quite obliged to admit that the expensive equipment we are going to use gives no guarantee concerning results which it'll have in real. Deeply lost, indeed. How to anticipate a result in a position noone ever could previously experience during the whole history of animal species we are an integral part of, whatever we figure out and whatever we delude ourselves? Besides, computer mice and bugs, don't try to hide what one they belong to. Let's go over our creation reliability again. The only excuse we have is that we have no way (of course...) to test it before making use of it on the 20th of March 1998, first day of Spring. We shall see. Think to it!

Article 9

Because of personal reasons, and scientific exchange professional and good Research community behaviour ones too, we wanted to communicate and to share the fruits of our researches with Digital Equipment American people who are settled in France. The sales general manager we met (a very sympathetic man, indeed, and French too...) totally agreed, while the communication staff refused absolutely. That's life, folks. Think to it!

Article 10

Tomorrow it will be too late.
