title: The Need For Sanity Checks
h1:

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.
