After all, it’s a main conclusion of quantum gravity that the qualitative distinction between elementary particles and black holes fades away. However, small black holes are “different” elementary particles – especially because they tend to decay “isotropically” to many other particles – those that we call the Hawking quanta if the black holes are large.

There are at least 3 dimensions of different selves:
1. time-selves
2. at a same time, there are more than one-selves,
e.g. the Left-brain self and the Right-brain self <– at least 2 selves
3. surface-inner selves
.
Writing is a way to communicate with yourselves.

The Sims:
In addition, the game includes a very advanced architecture system. The game was originally designed as an architecture simulation alone, with the Sims there only to evaluate the houses, but during development it was decided that the Sims were more interesting than originally anticipated and their initially limited role in the game was developed further.
Flickr:
Flickr was developed by Ludicorp, a Vancouver-based company that launched Flickr in February 2004. The service emerged out of tools originally created for Ludicorp’s Game Neverending, a web-based massively multiplayer online game. Flickr proved a more feasible project and ultimately Game Neverending was shelved.
Early versions of Flickr focused on a multiuser chat room called FlickrLive with real-time photo exchange capabilities. There was also an emphasis on collecting images found on the web rather than photographs taken by users. The successive evolutions focused more on the uploading and filing backend for individual users and the chat room was buried in the site map. It was eventually dropped as Flickr’s backend systems evolved away from the Game Neverending’s codebase.
