Hi. Thanks for visiting and welcome to my 15 page "novelette" about Warnock's Dilemma.

As follows are a few very short (and very rough) "chapters" spurred by Warnock's inquiry (thank you, Mr. Warnock).

  2. Linguistic Quibbles
  3. Traveling To Warnock's Dilemma and Beyond: The Turing Test
  4. Stubby, The Wikipedia Stub
  5. Warnock, Hawking and The Fermi Paradox
  6. If a great musician plays great music and no one hears . . . is he really any good?
  7. Group Consciousness (and later, Schrodinger's Cat)
  8. La, la, la: There’s a property in physics known as superposition
  9. Incompleteness
  10. The World Surrounding Warnock
  11. Mona Lisa and Eigenvectors
  12. Tunneling toward a possible resolution?
  13. The Unanswered Question, a musical composition
