In Response To: Eat the Path terminal speculation -- Part 3 (XaleManix)

: In hindsight, maybe I should have made this part of part 2.

: As is my little pattern, I present the full terminal text: There is only one
: path and that is the path that you take, but you can take more than one
: path.

: Cross over the cell bars, find a new maze, make the maze from it's path, find
: the cell bars, cross over the bars, find a maze, make the maze from its
: path, eat the food, eat the path.

: ... I don't really need to break this down, do I? Oh well, I'm going to do it
: anyway.

: There is only one path and that is the path that you take, but you can take
: more than one path.

: There is only one path: Your actions and their consequences. Your choices and
: the results. It can be bent and twisted by the choices you make, but at
: the end of the day, there is only one path, all of its forks and alternate
: directions disappearing behind you as you race forward, every moment
: pushing back your demise, every motion bringing you one instant closer to
: your death ... but you, you can take more than one path. Make more than
: one set of choices. You can escape. And of course, as Durandal told us
: long ago in orbit of Tau Ceti: Escape makes you god.

: Cross over the cell bars, find a new maze, make the maze from it's path,
: find the cell bars, cross over the bars, find a maze, make the maze from
: its path, eat the food, eat the path.

: Ah, here we are at the end. These are your orders: Cross over the bounries
: between timelines, and find yourself at the start of a new 'maze' -- a new
: set of choices. Follow it to the end.

: "Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail
: better." -Samuel Beckett

: Eat the food, the solution to the problem.
: Eat the path, and make it stretch for miles and miles behind you.

: And here we are at the very end of my speculation... or is it just the begi
: nning?

: find yourself
: starting back

You know, if anyone ever makes an "Ultimate Edition" of Infinity, I'd love to fix that apostrophe in "make the maze from it's[sic] path."
