[In what ways can you imagine that an imagination can be simulated?]
"The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination."

-Albert Einstein

"I'm not sure why you posted this here exactly, you don't really illicit any discussion or ask a question related to AI... I personally find the idea of imaginative machines interesting, but you are not explicitly going there nor providing any links. Try again." - Ben Bogart

[My response]
I'm opening discussion, YOU are the link. It is directly related to A.I. in the sense that it is very necessary to ask this question when focusing on the probabilities of artificial intelligence. Entropy of thought. Quintessential in the evolution of intelligent thought. Again I tried -yoda

+Joe Repka I think you nailed it there.
Imagination is the representation of that which is not but might come to be, based on representations [models and estimates ] of that which is, for the purpose of avoiding any dangers in that which is while taking advantage of any current or potential resources. 
I go along with Steve Lehar in believing that human imagination [and perception, etc] is essentially analogue albeit implemented in a quasi digital "cloud" of neuronal impulses.

The Kebra Nagast (var. Kebra Negast, Ge'ez ክብረ ነገሥት, kəbrä nägäst), or The Glory of the Kings, is a 14th-century[1] account written in Ge'ez of the origins of the Solomonic line of the Emperors of Ethiopia. The text, in its existing form, is at least 700 years old and is considered by many Ethiopian Christians and Rastafarians to be an inspired and a reliable work. It contains an account of how the Queen of Sheba/Queen Makeda of Ethiopia met King Solomon and about how the Ark of the Covenant came to Ethiopia with Menelik I (Menyelek). It also discusses the conversion of the Ethiopians from the worship of the Sun, Moon and stars to that of the "Lord God of Israel". As the Ethiopianist Edward Ullendorff explained in the 1967 Schweich Lectures, "The Kebra Nagast is not merely a literary work, but it is the repository of Ethiopian national and religious feelings."

["Endians" and "Garbage Collectors".] Finite State Machine. God gave his word then took it back . . . Things I notice. I'm interested in the how and why [Magick]. At that Age (Aeon) Garb was left behind [Swag].

John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2The same was in the beginning with God. 3All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

John 19

19:41 Now at the place where Jesus 119  was crucified 120  there was a garden, 121  and in the garden 122  was a new tomb where no one had yet been buried. 123  19:42 And so, because it was the Jewish day of preparation 124  and the tomb was nearby, 125  they placed Jesus’ body there.

He saw 10  the strips of linen cloth lying there, 20:7 and the face cloth, 11  which had been around Jesus’ head, not lying with the strips of linen cloth but rolled up in a place by itself. 12  20:8 Then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, came in, and he saw and believed. 13  20:9 (For they did not yet understand 14  the scripture that Jesus 15  must rise from the dead.)

The first part of Fetha Nagast deals with mostly ecclesiastic affairs, outlining the structure of the Church hierarchy, sacraments, and such matters. It was compiled from the Bible, writings of early Church fathers including St. Basil and St. Hippolytus, and various canons adopted at the Council of Nicaea, the Council of Antioch, and others.

The Fetha Nagast (Ge'ez: ፍትሐ ነገሥት fətḥa nägäśt, "Law of the Kings") is a legal code compiled around 1240 by the Coptic Egyptian Christian writer, 'Abul Fada'il Ibn al-'Assal, in Arabic that was later translated into Ge'ez in Ethiopia and expanded upon with numerous local laws. 'Ibn al-Assal took his laws partly from apostolic writings, and partly from former law codes of the Byzantine rulers.

Although she was well into her seventies, the Empress Mother Eleni stepped in to act as her step-great-grandson's regent until 1516, when he came of age. During this time, she was aware that the neighboring Muslim states were benefitting from the assistance of other, larger Muslim countries like the Ottoman Empire. Eleni sought to neutralize this advantage by dispatching the Armenian Mateus to Portugal to ask for assistance. However, the Portuguese response did not arrive in Ethiopia until much later, when an embassy led by Dom Rodrigo de Lima arrived at Massawa on April 9, 1520. Transversing the Ethiopian highlands, they did not reach Dawit's camp until October 19 of that year. Francisco Álvares provides us a description of the Emperor:
In age, complexion, and stature, he is a young man, not very black. His complexion might be chestnut or bay, not very dark in colour; he is very much a man of breeding, of middling stature; they said that he was twenty-three years of age, and he looks like that, his face is round, the eyes large, the nose high in the middle, and his beard is beginning to grow. In presence and state he fully looks like the great lord that he is.
