Simulation does not tolerate revelations

Heraclitus, who lived 2500 years ago, is attributed to the saying of "eyes and ears - bad witnesses for those who have a barbar soul." Taking this opportunity, I want to try to convey to those who have not yet barbaric soul, and even to the “most stupid deputy”, who is “smarter than an average citizen” who accuses computer programs of what they should not do: any program cannot (and does not claim to be) to accuse anyone of plagiats. The program just finds coincidences in different texts and indicates to anyone who has the eyes and can read what phrases from one text coincide literally with phrases from another.

It would be good that this simple truth also reached the developers of the Anti -Plagiat program and they finally removed their shocking resume of the “original text 0%”. I don’t know if they themselves wrote this product or dragged it from someone and unsuccessfully translated into Russian. But you still have to have a head.

Over the past 10 years, our country has quietly turned into a continuous imitation of everything, anything. This is, although a rather phantasmagoric, but surprisingly self -mocking type of existence of the community of reasonable individuals. It is important that the simulation is in everything. If the laws of nature are hit by the head for their stubborn violation, it is necessary to figure out how to blame them for the illegality of existence and an unfair attitude to the violating them. For example, satellites and missiles are stubbornly strive to fly not like it was conceived by simulators - it is necessary to find a new level (similar to a computer game), on which an explanation of this phenomenon will fit into the harmonious logic of the accepted imitation structure of life. And so in everything.

This way has the right to exist. Despite the fact that from the side he looks wild, inside him is quite comfortable and comfortable. What is the most amazing, such a state is metastable and, like a long -lived resonant state, can stretch out an arbitrarily long time. The way based on simulation does not tolerate only one thing - exposure. Any revelations are like a classic "And the king is naked!" The coherence of this metastable state is violated.

“Plagiarism” is a natural continuation of the logic of such a life structure. It is for this reason that the "plagiarism" as a phenomenon has blossomed over the past 10-15 years. We are still poorly representing the scale of this phenomenon. But if you seriously do this, then, I have no doubt, these scales will be disastrous today.

Even a weak attempt to reveal the problem of “plagiarism” in scientific work destroys the coherence of the “stability” found for some time. Why the word stability in quotation marks? Because quote.

A whole chain stretches for banal write-offs: a fake scientific work-linden reputation in society-a fake state position-a linden state activity-a linden state with linden missiles, troops, media, science, education, and medicine. It must be admitted that in a linden country and opposition, it will also become fake over time.

The linden candidate of sciences Sergey Tsapok, who defended the dissertation on sociology on the topic “sociocultural features of the lifestyle and values ​​of the modern rural resident”, will eventually be justified by the linden court, and his reprisal against rural residents will turn into scientific experiment and the training of a doctoral. The state of the simulation of life is global, otherwise it loses its meaning.

We get away from the grotesque. In the real world, two problems should be separated. First: the establishment of intake ties at least among academic scientific texts, including dissertations. Each new text needs to assign an entry in the data bank indicating the measure of similarity to other texts. Second: this is, in fact, accusations of plagiarism. I prefer to talk only about the first problem.

During the campaign to identify borrowings in scientific works, it turned out that, in fact, the libraries are overloaded with texts repeating each other. The reader rarely knows in advance the degree of novelty of scientific work that has fallen into his hands. The Bank of Intercessor Relations would have decided this problem completely. With the solution of the problem of colossal litter of the body of academic texts, the learning process would become more effective with all the ensuing advantages.

Honestly, I do not understand why the Ministry of Education and Science and large libraries will not conduct such a simple study. With modern computer capacities, a bank of intercessual relations could be created in a short time. And what opportunities will open after creating such a useful tool! For example, on the map of our Motherland, as with the manifestation of photo paper, the centers of the production of scientific camping the production by copying or ... dreamed! The only explanation is why the tool is so useful and worthy of developed civilization, despite its extreme simplicity, has not yet been created - this is a simulation lifestyle.
