Colossus - The Forbin Project (1970) Part 4

Forbin(Eric Braeden) is the designer of an incredibly sophisticated computer that will run all of America's nuclear defenses. Shortly after being turned on, it detects the existence of Guardian, the Soviet counterpart, previously unknown to US Planners. Both computers insist that they be linked, and after taking safeguards to preserve confidential material, each side agrees to allow it. As soon as the link is established the two become a new Super computer and threaten the world with the immediate launch of nuclear weapons if they are detached. Colossus begins to give it's plans for the management of the world under it's guidance. Forbin and the other scientists(Susan Clark, Gordon Pinsent, William Schallert and Leonid Rostoff) form a technological resistance to Colossus which must operate underground.

Sounds like the translator says "expert" before the Russian Chairman says ехперт.

One o them psychic translaors...

Even though I love this movie, never cast a German as your leading man. They're too damn dry and serious!

In studying the Colossus monitors, it has the annoying habit of repeating the same equations every 5-7 seconds- nothing beyond simple integral calculus though.

Hmmm may be Guardian still used ternary logic in 1970?

Computers operate on a binary system of 0 and 1. Does the universal language of mathematics rule?

In The Decline of the West, Oswald Spengler offered that each culture has its own language of mathematical design. Compare architectural styles in Hinduism, Christianity, and Islam.

Notice the Red Star with G logo (for Guardian). Synchronization of the right and left hemispheres of the human brain yields a higher order abstraction..

Computer Generated: C for Celestial; CG for Celestial Guardian?
