(@Oliver) Tamash: I may've made a wrong assumption, but that was the way robots were created back when I still was around and walking Earth. It depends on the power or concept that's the moving force behind that body of yours. Gematria, in this case, is creating automatized processes via numerical magic.
(@Albert) Tamash: After some time of hanging around the King In Yellow you should've already learned of mutual hatred between Elder Gods and Great Old Ones. But ignorance concerning these questions is acceptable, yes. I must've been too harsh.
(@Oliver) Tamash: At first it's inscribing numbers on copper plates to make magical golems, and then it's coding numbers in to make golems driven by pieces of quartz. This hasn't changed too much.
Oliver: I don't know why I'm a robot in particular. I was human a few days back. And now I'm not.
But from what I've checked, these robots just run on electricity and logic gates. No magic, because magic doesn't exist.
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."(@Oliver) Tamash: Any sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from science, and the reverse is obviously true as well. It doesn't matter whether a robot is activated by a set of commands in sorcerous tongue or by a few lines of code in a long vicinity. And... How did you end up in that state, excuse me?
(@Albert) Tamash: I see. And that bothers me greatly. The art isn't as popular as it was long ago.
Oliver: -to Albert- Hmm... fair.
-to Tamash- Not sure. I just... woke up like this.
I could... I could be dead. I could have died and just be a copy of myself. What the hell did I leave behind? How did I die? Do... do I count as me?
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."(@Oliver) Tamash: I implore you to calm down and think it over. Your transhumanistic state is something that is accepted naturally over the flow of time.
(@Albert) Tamash: It is there, it's just forgotten. As am I. As I said, name's Tamash. Some know me as Mercury or Hermes Trismegistus though. Especially in Ancient Greece.
(@Oliver) Tamash: Does your current predicament impair you in any way? The experience might be unsettling, but it's not anything one can't cope with.
(@Albert) Tamash: That's only humanity's point of view. In truth both are two sides of a single coin, but science is deducing the set of rules to which the world's order must abide, while magic is using the set of rules to which the world's order must abide. It's only a matter of perspective.

Oliver: ...Gematric?
