"I doubt that the imagination can be supressed. If you truly eradicated it in a child, he would grow
up to be an eggplant." ---Ursula K. LeGuin, The Language of the Night ---

"Imagination is the voice of daring. If there is anything Godlike about God
it is that. He dared to imagine everything." Henry Miller (18911980)

It seems to me that pattern recognition, in itself, it a pleasure reward,
that, coupled with the ability of a supercomputer to crunch  things, it would
be *design* (a combination of the two)  that the SI's will spend most of
their time on, not any form of physical pleasure we can imagine.
