| Melissa: | Streams of knowledge? All I see is a kaleidoscope. Where's the "knowledge?" | 
  
	| Tim: | Think of each image as a Rorschach test, reflecting who we are. | 
  
	| Satoru: | (raising his eyebrows) What's knowledge but structured information? Centuries ago great thinkers suggested knowledge had an actual form – 
    every object in the universe "speaks" in its own way. | 
  
	| Melissa: | (shaking her head) Sounds like metaphysical nonsense! | 
  
	| Liao: | The only true nonsense is believing our senses: they are liars.  As Plato points out, ssensory information is akin to shadows on the wall of a cave. | 
  
	| Melissa: | (growing impatient) Ha, why waste time on this talk? | 
  
	| Tim: | (sighing) Ah. Well. Ahmm. |
