Tempus'
Interesting.... clues.... they are everywhere. The ones (text/life) in bold print are/were necessary and the italicized as well. However, within the body of text and/or "life" one/we can find more subtle lessons not necessary to highlight nor can be as knowledge grows so to in unison ones/our awareness instantaneously elevated.
"Want" is indeed an interesting choice of words (concept) and one that is ("seems") necessary to review - for all the right reasons.
Arks question is fascinating:
"How exactly it is all being done is still a puzzle. Perhaps we have a possibility of becoming a SOLUTION to this puzzle?"
In keeping with definitions the above question requires some internal mining. Some drilling, bracing, blasting and all this before one can extract the essential raw materials. So now punching in for work and sharing the following from m-w.com - some of what has been unearthed on my shift:
M-w.com: ON "solution"
Main Entry: so·lu·tion
Pronunciation: s&-'lü-sh&n
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English solucion explanation, dispersal of bodily humors, from Anglo-French, from Latin solution-, solutio, from solvere to loosen, solve
1 a : an action or process of solving a problem b : an answer to a problem : EXPLANATION; specifically : a set of values of the variables that satisfies an equation
2 a : an act or the process by which a solid, liquid, or gaseous substance is homogeneously mixed with a liquid or sometimes a gas or solid b : a homogeneous mixture formed by this process; especially : a single-phase liquid system c : the condition of being dissolved
3 : a bringing or coming to an end or into a state of discontinuity
Three (3) is what caught my attention. For practical purposes (a visual if you will) within the construct of the "Matrix Control system" (fill in the blank______________ program) continuity is desirable.
Again using m-w.com: On "Continuity"
Main Entry: con·ti·nu·i·ty
Pronunciation: "kän-t&-'nü-&-tE, -'nyü-
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural -ties
1 a : [uninterrupted connection], succession, or union b : uninterrupted duration or continuation [especially without essential change]
2 : something that has, exhibits, or provides continuity: as a : [a script] or scenario in the performing arts b : transitional spoken or musical matter especially for a radio or television program c : the story and dialogue of a comic strip
3 : the property of being mathematically [minded] continuous [within the construct/program] (bracketed by bloobeem)
Possitive and Negative Feedback Loops now come to mind.
---------------
Years ago I met a traveler who always had a saying about this or that common saying. One of which was the term "maybe" - which the "I" (in the day) parroted without a "clue" frequently. When used in a sentence he would politely respond: "maybe" tends to go negative. Hmmm... I would think knowing nothing at the time about dynamics electricity. Years later working with a double E (rewiring houses - knowing just a bit more than nothing) he (the boss) informed me that theoretically this is true. "Maybe" is like neutral... which tends to go negative.
"How exactly it is all being done is still a puzzle. PERHAPS we have a possibility of becoming a solution to this puzzle?"
m-w.com: On "Perhaps"
Main Entry: 1per·haps
Pronunciation: p&r-'haps, 'praps
Function: adverb
Etymology: per + hap
: possibly but not certainly : MAYBE
So, what is obvious now, was not obvious then, and that is... that "Perhaps" is "Maybe" in disguise (all dressed up and no where to go). A kinder gentler "Maybe" if you will. However still a "maybe" anyway you choose to slice it or dice it.

Ark says:
"How exactly it is all being done is still a puzzle. Perhaps we have a POSSIBILITY of becoming a solution to this puzzle?"
Again, a fascinating question which purposefully written - stimulates awareness.
Main Entry: pos·si·ble
Pronunciation: 'pä-s&-b&l
Function: adjective
Etymology: Middle English, from Anglo-French, from Latin possibilis, from posse to be able, from potis, pote able + esse to be -- more at POTENT, IS
1 a : being within the limits of ability, capacity, or realization <a possible but difficult task> b : being what may be conceived, be done, or occur according to nature, custom, or manners <the best possible care> <the worst possible circumstance>
2 a : being something that may or may not occur <a possible surprise visit> b : being something that may or may not be true or actual <possible explanation>
3 : having an indicated potential <a possible housing site>
synonyms POSSIBLE, PRACTICABLE, FEASIBLE mean capable of being realized. POSSIBLE implies that a thing may certainly exist or occur given the proper conditions <a possible route up the west face of the mountain>.
Being reminded of P.D.'s "The Evolution of Mans Possible Psychology" - additionally what can be noticed in Arks response are the clues he has placed. One clue being defined in m-w.com's 1a. (in the above)..... by considering the limits of ability, capacity, or realization <a possible but difficult task> the pendulum swings toward "probability". Consideration becomes awareness/action/AIM.
--------------------------
Without Ark, Laura - the gang - i.e. Us in the Future, it would remain just that... "Maybe a possibility".
Bonus thought:
Initially upon reading Arks response to Tempus and beyond, I saw "us-in-the-now" (the possibilities/probabilities) as a clear glass of "solution" - all in the "solution" as the solution. Picking this clue out from Ark saying "we". One of which "clues" will be kept in my shoe for consideration.
To thank you all is to cheapen the gift,
