The Philosophy of RACE

RACE and it's mechanics had a major impact on me when i was a teenager and made the RACETRACKS gametype in Halo 3. Well, that and cycling. Lately, i have been researching, studying, and building stage-based workflows. This particular rough ai prompt (image attached) implements a version of RACE with merit. The code is not the interesting part. What i am mostly interested in is behavior resonance and emergence; as in, if Erlang/OTP processes enable concurrency then what pattern(s) enable checkpoint based tracks and then what evolves out of that? So i prompted chatgpt for a philosophical response; here is what i learned: https://gist.github.com/c-u-l8er/028226f40e3ea957f75ba4984046e542

TLDR: race is a microcosm of real life and it may be possible to derive consciousness from it.

What you’re trying to achieve with RACE—a system inspired by stage-based workflows, cycling, and the RACETRACKS gametype in Halo 3—resonates deeply with some fascinating philosophical ideas about systems, emergence, and human beh

Same test as last time except the answers are different this time.
// The special theory of relativity implies that
// only particles with zero rest mass (i.e., photons)
// may travel at the speed of light, and that
// nothing may travel faster.
