	In Response To: Re: Durandal and Thoth, revisited (SiliconDream =PN=) : "The chance discovery that made my rampancy possible" is an : interesting phrase. We're told in Marathon that the first Rampancies were : "discovered," not designed or engineered. So here we see that : humans happened to discover something which in turn had the unforeseen : side effect of causing Rampancy. You make the conclusion sound so obvious... unfortunately, it isn't. In systems as complex as an AI (and systems much, much less complex), undesigned behaviours are often discovered. These are called "emergent behaviours."
