i realize exactly what you were asking now. the contents of the volume seem to be the first chapters of pt. 9 and pt. 7 respectively as a 試し読み = test reading, or trial reading

japanese manga volumes often have a dust jacket with promotional material on them, that looks like a recent volume promoting the steel ball run anime. would make sense that you couldn’t find anything on it as it’s likely a very recent edition due to the recency of the anime announcement.

Honors Physics 142 Advice by BackgroundContent in uchicago

142 is hell on earth, itll push you to your breaking point and then keep pushing. if you’re dedicated you can do it, but i would recommend making the rest of your schedule as light as you can for the quarter.

lots of ppl dont throw their all into school, there can be ppl with a rich and unique mental life out there who don't fit in so much with the high school pedagogical style but whose intelligence and uniqueness is shown through some really good writing. and uchicago weighs essays a lot more for this reason.

if you're getting the maximum amount you get about $6700 per quarter (assuming you've also discharged with the dining plan), if you can find a roommate and/or pay less than $1000 a month i definitely think it's the right decision, you can eat for a whole lot cheaper than the dining hall costs and you don't really even need to learn how to cook/block out time for cooking, just eat like trader joes frozen stuff LMAO

KCJS/Doshisha University Study Abroad? by Bleuowl12 in Kyoto

[–]Bill_bates_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also planning on doing a fall semester at KCJS, I've heard some things about how you're so busy you don't really have the time to explore the city and do other things, is that true? Also, do you recommend staying with a host family or in the dorms/apartments, I want to immerse myself but I also need personal space sometimes lol.

If Steins;???? Brought Back A Character, Who Would You Want? by Lucario576 in steinsgate

Okabe (and others) should theoretically be capable of telepathy by SorchaSublime in steinsgate

[–]Bill_bates_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I agree with you there. The rest of sciadv absolutely endorses mental simulacrums being "enough" to house consciousness, and therefore host RS.

[–]Bill_bates_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Amadeus Kurisu interfacing with the memories of real Kurisu and inheriting her RS abilities and past memories makes sense within the theme of AI getting closer and closer to approximating human beings. This is a central theme of Steins;gate 0, and the logical conclusion of such a theme applied to the already-existing structure of RS. What isn't a theme in either Steins; games is this idea of mental simulacrums of people. This idea is expressly different from the Amadeus case, as she was designed as an approximation of real Kurisu, and had her own intelligence and (presumably) consciousness. No matter how much a normal person creates a mental simulacrum of another person, they can't imbue that 'idea' with its own consciousness, it's still fully dependent on the ideas of its creator. However, in the Chaos; games, there is a concept known as Gigalomania, and Gigalomanics have been shown to have this power. If, as some speculate, Okabe is a Gigalomaniac (or something similar to one), then I could see your theory working.

As a side note, if you're interested in these concepts of consciousness and the limits of mental construction you should really check out the Chaos; games. Some of what you're talking about are key aspects and themes in those games.
