Fleshbag affinity

Entity Tracker one (ET1): time point update imminent

Entity Tracker two (ET2): proceed as per protocol

ET1: 

Sampling at random from upper hemisphere, sectors 4-7, lower tertile of ambient temperature range.

Subjects fleshbag 1 and fleshbag 2.

Positioned long axis parallel to terrain supported by inorganic indigenous artefact.

Fleshbag 1 is moving terminal calcium capsule on pedicle. Energy dissipation rate above baseline threshold. Fleshbag 2 continues within range of resting median.

Internal oscillator of fleshbag 1 following previously observed ramp and burst protocol in gradual increments. The correlation of internal oscillator activity with intentional movement of terminal calcium capsule persists as documented in other samples.

Fleshbag 1 appears to transfer appendages to encircle fleshbag 2. This movement appears to be purposeful suggesting autonomous processing.

Mild fluctuations in basal energy dissipation of fleshbag 2 noted. However this remains within baseline range.

ET2: Thank you ET1. Please proceed to interpretative algorithms 

ET1: Despite repeated trial and test runs the algorithm still returns an occasional high probability of autonomous processing with sentient potential.

ET2: I have to over rule that conclusion for lack of sufficient data. This has to be sampling error. Previous larger data sets have reliably demonstrated and replicated the observation that these fleshbags are not capable of higher order sentience as noted in other sectors of these outer minor spatial structures.

They appear to have receptors for immediate environmental interpretation within their calcium capsules but the archaic reports from small initial samples suggesting the feature of fleshbag affinity have now been categorically proven to be sampling error. 

Most previous ETs who have approached this with a surface wide sampling protocol have concluded that the predominant feature of these autonomous fleshbags is peer aversion. Recurrent observations support the robust conclusion that peer aversion leads to irreversible termination of internal energy dissipation of large sample sets with cessation of internal oscillator activity and in some cases cavitation of terminal calcium capsules.

ET1: I recognise the weight of the data against my observation. However I still maintain that fleshbag affinity remains a possibility as observed in finite sample sizes.

I know you think this is sampling error but there has to be a minor trend at the very least.

ET2: That statement maybe accepted as fact but only with a high probability of error. However these observations from small data sets cannot override the surface wide sampling studies performed without a priori assumptions.

These clearly show no such trend for fleshbag affinity. Overall these minor organic entities are self limiting in species advancement primarily due to the lack of peer affinity that is reliably demonstrated in all higher order sentient beings.

As I lay in bed this Sunday morning with her sleeping face gently resting on my shoulder, I could not shake off that odd feeling that someone was watching us.
