WARNING: MAJOR SPOILERS for ‘Person Of Interest’.

6741 may just be the most well-written episode of not just ‘Person Of Interest’ but of any science fiction TV show episode ever. There’s not a single indication the entire episode is a virtual simulation other than the title - which refers to them having run that same virtual simulation in Shaw’s brain 6741 times and counting.

It’s just the fact,… if that’s how real it was for the audience, how real was it for Shaw undergoing it?

Nothing in the episode was real except the ending which revealed that Shaw was still strapped to a bed being psychologically tortured to work for Samaritan.

Not even the sex scene between Root and Shaw was.

And you could say “Oh? Well, that’s a cop out then.”

But no, not really because it’s still Shaw’s fantasy. It’s still the place her mind goes whilst she’s being tortured.

So even though it didn’t actually happen, - that’s still validating WLW. That’s still amazing representation because it’s effectively conveying Shaw’s desires.

So I don’t think it’s a cop out at all. In fact I think it’s better than if they really did have a sexual encounter.

I think it’s brilliant. It’s truly one of the greatest episodes of TV art/entertainment I’ve ever seen.

I love it when TV show creators can catch me out like that. It proves to me that they really care about it.

I know it’s a pretty old show now but seriously…

I need to see more TV art/entertainment like that!

Because that was bloody fantastic writing and acting!

Art is dead, not only because its critical transcendence is gone, but because reality itself, entirely impregnated by an aesthetic which is inseparable from its own structure, has been confused with its own image. Reality no longer has the time to take on the appearance of reality. It no longer even surpasses fiction: it captures every dream even before it takes on the appearance of a dream.

Clinical Simulation in VR for Thorough Training

Clinical simulation in VR present the advantage of allowing learners to practice skills in realistic and engaging environments. There was a time when practical experiences in healthcare training could be gained by assisting senior doctors and by performing procedures on cadavers. With the coming of virtual reality medical simulation, the healthcare education scenario has undergone a massive change. Learners don a VR headset, step into a virtual environment that is fully equipped with all necessary equipment and perform procedures as they would in a real-world setup.

VR simulations provide a safe and controlled environment for training purposes. For very obvious reasons, it is not safe to practice medical skills on live patients. It could cause harm to the patient and also put the learner at risk, if the disease is infectious. Learners will have to be extra cautious and this may lead to a degree of hesitation. Trainers too would not want to put their learners or patients at risk. With clinical simulation in VR, not only is the environment virtual, but so is the patient. A mistake will not be life-threatening. Trainers can allow users to make mistakes to understand the effects it could lead to. When trainers are able to show the cause and effect of a certain action, they are able to draw home the message with greater clarity. On the learner’s part, this can be knowledge reinforcement and lead to enhanced learning experiences. With clinical simulations in VR, trainers are also able to present the learners with cases that are usually rare to come across in the real world. Though rare, training is required to be prepared. When trainers can provide this training, it ensures giving shape to a workforce that is ready to take on any challenge, no matter how tough it may be.

Today abstraction is no longer that of the map, the double, the mirror, or the concept. Simulation is no longer that of a territory, a referential being or substance. It is the generation by models of a real without origin or reality: a hyperreal. The territory no longer precedes the map, nor does it survive it. It is nevertheless the map that precedes the territory — precession of simulacra — that engenders the territory.

My love for you transcends time.
