Pipes and Cigars and Tobacco

Doesn’t quite “get it” obviously but the elements are there.

So how could a computer understand smoking? (Or fingers…)

My first thought is you need an organic system that responds to all the stimuli. Feel of the pipe, heat, smell, taste, and the bodily response to the chemicals.

Then I thought, the computer might need to be able to suffer. To know stress, hurry, doubt, fear. Then to have an experience that elevates condition.

First a distraction of small details. Attention to moment. Chronology warps, wafts, disperses. Adrift gently in the eye of a storming world.
