Why should she believe it?

any process which does not respond should be thus cast into the outer darkness of the bits and never to return (aka a virus or unauthorized program).

Malware can lie. A virus can infect an authorized program and use its credentials.

when sent a signal from GOD. since GOD can kill you you
should have the right response ready when (s)he calls. any
process which does not respond should be thus cast into the
outer darkness of the bits and never to return (aka a virus
or unauthorized program).

yes, i'm amused by conversations in debian devel at times...

I meant why should GOD believe the reply?

objects are only created by authorized calls to other
objects so there is no pathway to infect if done correctly.

if you do not allow random objects to be created that
are not verified and vetted then there are no viruses.

Then there is no need for your verification process.

note, i'm just kicking this around and wondering if it
really would be possible.

GOD doesn't believe. He KNOWS. Even without having to "send a
signal".

And now let's discuss whether Objects have any freedom, if GOD
knows all in advance.

I dimly remember that wars have been waged over that kind of
question. But my memory is fuzzy...
