The code is from God
How a shisophrenic programmer came up with an operating system-oracle: Vice
Templeos is not just an operating system, but an electronic church, says its creator, 44-year-old programmer Terry Davis. He spent ten years on writing his own axis, with which you can speak with God. Templeos supports only 16 colors and a resolution of 640 by 480-and in general it looks like a program from the beginning of the 1990s with strange functionality. Vice tells why the programmer created Templeos with schizophrenia.
Terry Davis was born in December 1969 in Wisconsin in a large family. In the early 1980s, Terry learned to program on the Commodore 64 computer, became interested in writing programs and received a master's degree at the University of Arizona. After the institute, the programmer got a job at Ticketmaster, where he began to develop operating systems. Terry was brought up in a Catholic family, but considered himself an atheist: "I thought that the brain was a computer, and I did not need a soul."
In 1996, he began to notice that he was being watched, but at first he decided that it was checking potential employers - Terry tried to get a job in several firms related to the Pentagon. The mania of the persecution intensified, and soon the programmer began to be a conspiracy everywhere; In addition, he heard him talk to him through the radio receiver. Terry quit his job and went to Texas. On the way, he removed all the panels from the internal casing of the car to find a certain tracking device; He stopped in the middle of the desert and threw the ignition keys. On the road he was discovered by the police - so Terry got into a psychiatric hospital. He diagnosed bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. For the period from 1996 to 2003, he entered the clinic about six months after the attacks of the disease. During this time, he tried to construct a prototype of a 3D printer-a car that cuts out objects from wood, and decided to write a continuation of George Orwell’s book “1984”. Neither Davis did not fully bring.
In 2003, Davis discovered fragments of the code written in those days when he worked as a programmer. He realized that he was obliged to write an operating system with which you can talk with God. By this time, Davis had become very religious. He has his own way of communicating with the Lord - he opened the Bible on an arbitrary page. According to the programmer, Templeos is a “church”, which contains the AFTEREGYPT program - an oracle that, using a special algorithm, generates the text “Revelation”. Davis wrote Templeos in the same way as Noah built his ark - without really realizing what he was doing. Somehow he understood every next step.
The Oracles program imitates the communication of Moses with the Lord on Mount Sinai after the outcome of the Jews from Egypt-to obtain a “Revelation”, you need to send the hero’s figure to the top of the mountain. Now Templeos exists in version 2.18, it can be downloaded from the Davis website. According to the programmer, the operating system has already been completed, minor improvements remained.
Davis often uploads videos of the work of his oracle on Yetube and communicates on different sites using fragments of text generated by the program. At the same time, he is extremely aggressive to his critics - he was banned on the sites of the sithingawful and reddit for rude statements, including a racist nature.
Davis believes - he proved that he can speak with God with the help of random numbers, and calls his parents “sheep” because they do not believe him. Parents also have a word for him - schizophrenia. Terry Davis created the Church of God, who speaks only with him alone (English.).
