Connecting the Dots in Life Series
Everything we experience or learn can be considered a dot in our mental cognitive map. How we connect those dots and apply our knowledge makes each of us unique. But the most important dots we can learn are those that lead us to know God and apply His wisdom and understanding in our lives. The stories in this series show how to apply the fundamental principles of logic to discern truth from fiction and to identify what is right or wrong, guided by the wisdom our creator imparts.

Connecting the Dots in Life
James and Marie, graduate students at the same university, met by chance. James shared his work in robotic autonomy and his concept for modeling brain functions as a cognitive map. He explained that each piece of information we acquire through experience or education is treated as a dot in this map. Marie was intrigued by his insights, which utilized fundamental logical principles. He argued that individuals interpret and connect the dots of their lives, leading to varying outcomes based on their biased beliefs. Marie was compelled to confront the harsh reality that many of the philosophical claims she had unquestioningly accepted from her professors lacked any logical foundation. James achieved an AI breakthrough in his robotic system, Synthia, which demonstrated autonomous reasoning capabilities. As an experiment, he used Synthia to help Marie secure a research project necessary for her thesis in museum studies and to thwart the unwelcome advances of a devious professor.

The two meet and become trusted friends, but Dr. Lordson suspects Dr. Benson is hiding a secret. A strange structure on Dr. Benson’s estate, his genius nephew, and the discoveries made by the UNM research team push Dr. Lordson to learn more, and he discovers the darkness Dr. Benson and his family fled to preserve their freedom to live in the light, worshiping their Heavenly Father as believers in Jesus Christ.
