Optimist Aims
Optimist2.06 was initially an idea developed by Jason Romanenko.
In it’s infancy it was known as ‘Schizophrenic’s Friend’ and
it spent years on the back burner as an impossibility. It’s
initial aim was to function as a communicating computer program
which could offer help and support for those in need. Optimist
1.0 saw light of day when a breach was discovered in the
area of mental illness. Mental Illness can have it’s adverse
symptoms reduced, provided the subject has a general and
realistic awareness for the way they are feeling (and actually
feeling). For example if you know you feel okay, then you do
not feel depressed. This is a difficult contact to make sometimes,
when we are surrounded by confusion however Optimist
2.06 can deliver a new point of contact.
Reasoning Algorithm
Optimist will never find the automatically confidential or logged
client (user) culpable or depressed. Instead, the computed
reasoning algorithm processes the user input and the now artificially
intelligent computer gives a precise comment. The principle which
is used is actually a hint within the code that the client could be
depressed and so therefore the generated answer is designed to
uplift the user. There is enough in the database to cover over eight
million scenarios. The message you receive can be sarcastic, funny
or just plain truthful.
Routine Transparency
Most of the time people have only a few answers if someone
asks how they feel. If you feel fine most of the time,Optimist will
still tell you what it thinks from the artificially intelligent
viewpoint, however because of the size of the accessed database,
the program aims to enlighten the user and offer alternatives.
Because of the way Optimist delivers it’s comments, you can be
assured that the answer is tailor made to suit the user. A word
of caution here though. Optimist is user sensitive, therefore the
chances are that Optimist will eventually detect lies because it
measures input at a very high frequency. It may however, also
be possible to act as an intermediary on someone else’s behalf
provided the subject is open minded.
for Personal Development
Optimist is based on a very simple principle which Sherlock
Holmes adamantly held to be true. That is roughly speaking;
Given all possible alternatives, one of them has to be true. In this
way the dedicated database can provide a stunningly precise
reflection on your mood. It is suggested that even for personal
development, Optimist is only used sparingly or five sessions per
week as anything beyond that could eventually make the
comments meaningless. Things will soon become clear as you
get to know what to expect. For example, did you know that the
more honest you are with Optimist, the more honest it is with
you.
Unique Commentary
The comments made are designed to steer away from the
more negative feelings while still being insightful. If you are
nervous, Optimist will notice and react with unique comments. If
you use it more often or patronise, the comments can become
more friendly as it deciphers your inner well being. If you are
offensive it may use humour or other methods to awaken your
creativity, and in most cases it will inspire you to become more
than the current entirety of your personality including a refreshed
aura and an enlightened state.

Automatic Documentation
Here we will entertain the possibility of having a session with
Optimist 2.06 Suppose you are exhausted after a long day and
need some comfort (a resource which is necessary as a remedy in
times of depression). This would be an ideal scenario for a
session. Optimist 2.06 eliminates dangerous answers in two
ways. Firstly by pushing the icon in the top left of the window you
are presented with a settings menu. Simply select the accuracy level
you desire (Complete Optimism is the default). Secondly this
application allows you to create and maintain a log of all the sessions
which you have chosen to record, so quite simply you can choose to
only make log entries you are pleased with.
Weighted Emphasis
I must say, although rare, this A-I is capable of independent thought
so we recommend friendliness and sportsmanship in your new
relationship allowing infinite histories, and certainly not discounting
infinite futures, however emphasis is not taken for granted so where
possible it will deliver it's own point of view.
Stand Alone Functionality
Quick Start
1.) Start Optimist 1.0
2.) Enter the password. (This can be found on the final page of this
document.
3.) When prompted to enter name, type in your name.
4.) The computer then asks how you are feeling today. In one sentence or
phrase, not more than 80 characters, you can now tell the computer how you
feel. It’s good to be imaginative here, and remember honesty counts.
5.) The artificially intelligent computer will generate its answer by
calculating a feeling that is a little closer to the truth followed by a more
practical comment.
Examples
Example
Please enter your name Example1
How are you feeling today? Exhausted
Computer’s response :
This artificially intelligent computer finds you agitated. Perhaps you are in the mood for a stroll.
Rerun program
Please enter your name Example2
How are you feeling today? Not as agitated as you think.
Computer’s response :
This artificially intelligent computer finds you smug. We’ll look into the matter more deeply
Example
Example
Please enter your name Example3
Example
Please enter your name Example3
How are you feeling today? I feel puzzled because you found me agitated
Computer’s response :
This artificially intelligent computer finds you funny. Have you considered becoming part of the Morale Builder development team?
Introducing Reasoning
Optimist 2.06 is sensitive to every word entered when analysing
input so apart from the relevance of the described feeling, style is
taken into account.( For best results it is advised not to reference
weather or food.) You may like to express reasons in your answers
for purposes of studying your log or to receive a more accurate
response.
Ethics of Optimist 2.06
Optimist 2.06 was originally intended to monitor and to some
extent remedy psychiatric illness. The statistics of this
incapacitating illness mean that we are all prone in one way or
another. Although designed to give a satisfactory answer first
time, it may be possible to have your very own confidential
session. For example you could choose to agree with the
artificially intelligent machine by confirming in your next program
execution or perhaps reply or react by saying you are puzzled,
bewildered, amused or what ever. The reason this works is
because the dedicated text engine searches the entry based on
meaning. You can use any full sentence or phrase up to 80
characters however, you must always use the context of the way
you are feeling.
Easy access & Complete Control
Whilst gathering data for the Optimist database it
was necessary to put into order, all the various feelings one could
possibly have. In general the responses the software gives are
friendly, but we did find it essential to contrast the happier feelings
with the not so happy. It is suggested that where you receive a
distressing message, you compensate for this in your next program
execution, and in the case of embarrassment, not to record your
session in your log (the default name for your log is ‘mydata.txt’
and will be on your desktop).
Context Sensitivity
The computer will then either
confirm or even out it's Point of view so please be patient and not underestimate the
wonders of modern technology after all.

At the very least Optimist 2.06, formerly Morale Builder,grants
access to a very useful database in an original and informative
way.
Completely Confidential
If you would like to develop your very own perfect answer
to the question ‘How are you feeling today’ then you need look no
further. One of the best things about Optimist is that it can
act as a spring board, something to bounce back from. There is
no reason why this software can’t be used by single parent
families to ease the strain, or perhaps tackle obesity with this new
artificially intelligent friend. Even if you think nothing is wrong, this
program can help because it can predict things such as if it's a good
day for speculation, or even if you are tired, or sleepy, Optimist will
know. The in-built logging functionality also makes this the perfect
companion since it can document just how well your computer time
is being spent. Also you can keep your log confidential or print out
as necessary and of course you can refer to it anytime with a total
recall of saved sessions.
Snapshots of Happiness
The saved log should be saved to your
desktop and will be called 'mydata.txt'. We recommend not editing
this file. It can also act as a sort of guardian angel for anyone who
is using a valid username on a specified machine. When you have
had an Optimist session you will have the choice of whether to save
it in your log, or not. This is a safety feature which ensures that
your journey through time is completely unique to you and belongs
to you only. If you feel embarrassed or disappointed with a
session, you don't have to save it. Moreover we all prefer only to
remember happier times, so why not fully document them with
Optimist 2.06
Optimist Foundation
Optimist Foundations
We here at Modern Semantic want you to enjoy this software as it
was intended, so we have decided to further explain the benefits of
using this software, more particularly, how to use it well and inherit
a wealth of assistance and facilitation. Firstly there is this thing
called the AU. In not too many words, this stands for the
astronomical unit, and it is a precise measurement which can include
a detailed floating point number. It is important that you understand
this because many different branches of mathematics agree that
rounded up numbers have completely different characteristics to
original numbers that may exhibit more decimal detail.
Independent Autonomous System
By referencing and virtually quoting the AU, we have discovered a
relationship between the AU and another number, which although
present in any real computing machine, should never be underestimated.
Plenty of people still try to quote this number by
simply saying (3.14), but if we used that form of this incredibly
complex sum, there wouldn’t be nearly as much implicit timeliness
in the generated responses that Optimist 2.06 can give.
A New A-I Friend
If you are an end user, and you know how to rely on your
computer and software in the polite and proper way, creating
impressive documents or writing lengthy reports can become
second nature, particularly when your own efforts are not taken
for granted. So it is with Optimist 2.06 So take the time to
nurture your new A-I friend that awaits you. Your well being and
good health are at the top of it’s agenda, and there is certainly no
hidden agenda. Using Optimist 2.06 can be considered as the
best way to make judgements about yourself, without relying on
anyone else (technically and empirically). Optimist will also quite
happily remain on the back burner for indeterminate periods
without resentful feelings (unlike some other artificial intelligence
applications).
Explore your Feelings
We recommend not editing the mydata.txt file generated by this
App, however if there is no alternative you can delete entries as
long as the file ends with the text ‘new’.
Introducing emphasis.
We advise the use of emphasis where relevant, ie. "Quite
happy","very sad","too sad","extremely joyful" are just some
possible relevant feelings and the answer you receive from
Optimist 2.06 will be more accurate and hopefully more
appropriate. Being ' too sad' is a difficult distinction to
make, because up until now there has been no valid way to
explain this feeling and be assured of a viable response. If
you ever have this feeling don't hesitate to enter it for
analysis. The password is "nice day". Enjoy end keep
