Theo gets swayed!

Theo tries to note in his head how much he's swayed, but it's kinda difficult.

At one point it stops getting worse.

He might be a bit too distracted to comment right now.

Takes a minute, but then he says, "I think it's stopped getting worse."

It gets a bit worse again as soon as he says that.

"Okay, how long was that...?"

There's a bit of a pause, then he says, "About – three minutes?"

Bit worse again!

"Are you still recording?"

"Yeah."

"It's, um. Quite– noticeable?" he says. "Getting more noticeable in chunks now."

"Chunks? When?"

Seems to only be getting noticeable when he says things.

Pause. "When I say things?"

This time it didn't!

"That's... weird."

"Uh. It didn't just that time." Pause. "Maybe the different media don't add to the max regularly? Video and just sound, maybe work differently or it needs my voice to get worse than a certain amount from just sound."

"...but why."

Paaaause. "– Well, it might be that you can't tell how I talk from having just a video of me standing around? And so this is extra data."

"Ooooooh."

"I'm not sure why this is 'ooh' except to help constrain me better, ward against misbehavior?"

"Well, 'data.' If that's the thing... Willow can you circle around him?"

She does!

She gains some more sway.

"– Yeah, that was more."

She deletes the video.

Again, there's another long pause.

"That. Was kind of horrible but I wasn't paying attention."

"Data, though."

"I know!" he says. "But it is really weird to be paying so much attention to other people and none to the fact that it's weird to be doing so."

"No, what I mean is, apparently the relevant thing here to sway is data. Like, information. Possibly any kinds of information. Which would explain why you can just look at us and get sway, if you have a super memory and uber senses."

"– Right, yeah, that's weird too. And it's probably awkward to have me self-report how swayed I feel with different media for different amounts of time, so it might be difficult to get precise detail on what's strongest." Pause. "Images are better than audio, though, we already have that."
