can it originate?

THESIS Main (won the culture): Turing's imitation game (1950, Computing Machinery and Intelligence), which replaces "can machines think?" with a behavioural test. Turing predicted that around 2000 an average interrogator would have no more than a 70% chance of a correct identification after 5 minutes. Ghost: Lovelace's 1843 objection that the Engine "has no pretensions to originate anything" and only does what we order. Turing answered it under that name: machines take him by surprise, and a learning machine's behaviour isn't foreseen by its maker. COMPUTEDThe page plays 30 rounds. What chance score separates a "pass" from guessing? With p = 0.5, P(≥ 21/30 right) = 2.1%, so 70% is a real bar. The ghost, Lovelace's side, is still argued (READING).

MNEMONIC "Seventy, five minutes, two thousand."

+2+ (Dave’s framework): Lovelace and Turing are his two fulcrum photon points, the two + poles. Main track = the idea that won; ghost track = the challenger that lost. Entangled partner: note-g.

The ledger starts empty on each load. Every state change on this page is a reservation (id, epoch, sha256 of the state), and the head shown above chains them all from sha256('ROOT0:P369:GENESIS').
