esearch if it was actually done manually instead of by botsnano-technically synthesized and remotely controlled bysoftware simulations of human souls in virtual universes. Heknew all that, in his intellect, but preferred a user interface inwhich there were still breadboards and display screens.He was bent over a large screen, watching a patternemerge as he slowly tweaked some dials. For a change Avawas with him, watching intently. “You’re getting a picture ofsomething, what is it?” she asked.“These signals are the state changes in the anti He 4 in thattrap over there." He pointed to a chamber bristling withprobes and encased in superconducting coils. In reality thatchamber was in the cold of interstellar space in the ship’sshadow and not a virtual mock-up of an old-fashioned mortalhuman laboratory. "Each state change should be plotted in itsown dimension, I know, but for this I've added them using thecommon model sign and value. The sampling interval can bereduced to the limits of our equipment and it still looks likean analog trace. There are obviously signals here,” he said,“something is going on.”“How do you know it is not a natural phenomenon?” sheasked.She obviously didn't like his reply, a 'get real' face and,"If we break it down by 'action,' the state change that is beingtransmitted to an antiparticle." He made those adjustments tothe plot, a series of pulse trains showed up.“Like a natural oscillation if you ask me,” Ava said. “You136
