First of all, we are definitely inside something which is modelable
as a "futuristic VR system" of which all our "minds" are highly accessible
subminds in a highly organized structure.

So, MENTIFEX seems to be a sort of puzzle for some of us to solve.
A bizarre diary written (supposedly) in the 70's; a purported "AMIGA"-only
AI system, and these straight-right-margin posts from suspiciously-named
"Arthur Murray", who if he was a dance instructor, you better wear
steel-toed boots when getting closer than arms length.  "Caveat Empty."

***

In other words, WE'RE ALL AIs in "here" this VR "house of cards and mirrors
and smoke and trapdoors".  I prefer VI's to AI:  Virtual Individuals.

And everything seems to be a highly well-managed system of educational puzzles.
In fact, it his highly probable that there are very few actual "students"
in this Educational System, and the rest is all system-generated "drama".

Slightly adjusting this eye-catching bit of order-arising-from-playfulness:

So "we" get a "randomly-manufactured" "correspondence between:

                        "L. RON H"
                        "T-LANG  "    (..uage)
                   and: " DEGREES" .

Hmmf.  All I can see is that DEGREES => SEGREDS (secrets) as in 33deg Masons.

Second stab:  "lOng-itu-de / 58 degrees".  
     58E: Franz Josef Land, USSR (right thru the URALS!), Iran, Oman
     58W: Greenland, NewFoundLand, Guiana, Brazil, Paraguay, Bolivia,
          Argentina, Falklands!, Uruguay, the South Shetland Islands,
          and "E(dith) Ronne Land" (Antarctica).


But I am "annealing" into a liking for the idea that ELROND is/was a 
king/queen of AT-LAN-TIS, located at 58 degrees, perhaps he was buried
at sea.  Maybe the Church of Shitology "buried" (dumped)  the drugged-out
carcass of Elron'd somewhere off the coast of Florida?

               My god is AMNISCIENT.  He forgets EVERYTHING.

         He even forgot about Me, and I'm his coolest creation ever.

                        Now... What was I saying?
