The metaphysics engine is a quaint little device that owes its invention to a man living near the coast of southern Nebraska in the 1950's. This man, who went by the name of Fred Farnhurst, was attempting to create a physical manifestation of his own moral compass. Being a religiously unaffiliated man, i.e. atheist, he relied solely on the definitions of ‘’right’’ and ‘’wrong’’ as he saw fit. Whereas the legal definition of ‘’right’’ was most often wrong and corruptible and therefore correct and infallible. The moral compass, despite the size of the more popular magnetic compass, was in fact a colossal machine that sprawled across his entire basement, with all manner of wires, panels, monitors, and inscrutable devices hanging off its unpolished mahogany frame. The array, in theory, worked

  • The metaphysics engine is a quaint little device that owes its invention to a man living near the coast of southern Nebraska in the 1950's. This man, who went by the name of Fred Farnhurst, was attempting to create a physical manifestation of his own moral compass. Being a religiously unaffiliated man, i.e. atheist, he relied solely on the definitions of ‘’right’’ and ‘’wrong’’ as he saw fit. Whereas the legal definition of ‘’right’’ was most often wrong and corruptible and therefore correct and infallible. The moral compass, despite the size of the more popular magnetic compass, was in fact a colossal machine that sprawled across his entire basement, with all manner of wires, panels, monitors, and inscrutable devices hanging off its unpolished mahogany frame. The array, in theory, worked upon the principle that any action is either right or wrong, and the two qualities are polar opposites that cannot coexist. The machine used a series of detectors to compare the moral aura of a subject to two other calibrating subjects, one which was clearly morally right and another which was clearly morally wrong. The test subjects would be evaluated by comparison.
