The Need For Sanity Checks

At times, everything seems to be working properly.

• This can see too good to be true.

• The trouble with a powerful Mental Computer is the degree to which I can delude myself.

• The purpose of a trivial sanity check is to verify that things are as they seem.

• All I require (and I’m not taking the piss) is a genuine human to act as a 'North Star' reference point until my Mind has stabilised to the point where I am certain.

• This doesn’t take long, but it is important: If things don’t unravel like a weird dream and I am 'still here' in a few seconds, the sanity check has passed and things really are working.

• THAT EXTRA HUMAN COMPONENT IS THE ONE THING MY AUTISTIC MASK CANNOT SIMULATE: PROVIDED YOU ARE NOT A DELUSION, I AM NOT DELUDED, AND I CAN BE CERTAIN.
