완다비전 테세우스의 배

VISION: Why are you doing this?

WHITE VISION: My programming directive is to destroy the Vision.

VISION: But I’m not the true Vision, only a conditional Vision.

WHITE VISION: I request elaboration.

VISION: You are familiar with the thought experiment, the Ship of Theseus in the field of identity metaphysics?

WHITE VISION: Naturally. The Ship of Theseus is an artifact in a museum. Over time, its planks of wood rot and are replaced with new planks. When no original plank remains, is it still the Ship of Theseus?

VISION: Secondly, if those removed planks are restored and reassembled free of the rot, is that the Ship of Theseus?

WHITE VISION: Neither is the true ship. Both are the true ship.

VISION: Well then, we are agreed.

WHITE VISION: But I do not have the mind stone.

VISION: And I do not have one single ounce of original material. Perhaps the rot is the memories. the wear and tear of the voyages. The wood touched by Theseus himself.

WHITE VISION: I have not retained memories.

VISION: But you do have the data. It is merely being kept from you.

WHITE VISION: A weapon to be more easily controlled. But certainly you are the true Vision, for you believe yourself to be.

VISION: That was once the case, but upon meeting you, I have been disabused of that notion. As a carbon based synthezoid, your memory storage is not so easily wiped.

VISION: May I?

WHITE VISION: I am Vision.
