Subject:  
odd descriptions


There is a tendancy for :description verbs to take the player into account
when rendering.  When most of these verbs were written the only sort of player
was a connected participant.  Since the web browser doesn't provide a means 
to interact (via http), anyone looking from the web interface is not actually
connected to a participants body.  The request is made using the an object 
that has an object number less than #0 !!!  These negative numbered objects 
do not have names, descriptions, genders or locations . . . 
If you find a room whose web rendering gives, "Unknown error condition."
you might examine nearby verbs for this tendancy.  I am currently looking into
Rhizomatic Fields (#10235) for this . . .

The PostWebCulture project invites :

  "Systems designed to facilitate storage, transfer, and recall of sets of
   facts and relations augment the user's intelligence.  More sophisticated
   tools for graphic visualization of complex conversations or widespread 
   collaboration may allow certain types of intellectual feats previously
   thought impossible."

As this project moves forward, lifting our text into a more abductive realm, many theories will traverse the lifecycle of abstract concepts.
