In this virtual reality ambient human
paradoxes and dilemmas are represented as logical
structures. A decision support system from AI research
reasons then on such issues as: should Hamlet kill
Claudius.., should Ilsa leave Casablanca with Rick...,
should one live for ideals even if risking one«s
life..., etc.?
Thereby exceptions to rules allow to differentiate the
formalisation. The system generated inner monologues of
the characters and visualizes them in realtime as 3-D
diagrams. The ambivalence of choices may become captured
as images about mental spaces. The visual language (here
of the first protoype) allows also to draw images beyond
the logical functionality: features like "reasoning
running wild", "courage - live wrong, but win" and "plans
of a life" may be expressed within the semantics of
Ultima Ratio.
