Dear Swapnil
Thank you for comments on my story. I read your points. Points 1 & 3 are related to present computer systems. Where H/W and S/W are two different parts mutually associated to perform computing. But computation procedure of human brain is totally different, where H/W (neuron-combinations) are created by S/W (Thoughts) and vice versa. In that way imagination takes place. So I hypothesize possibility of imagination in computers in the same way. My story does not use surrealism but it gives possibility of imaginations finally will result surrealism in computers.

Dear Zeeshan,
The story was good in its own right. However, I could not find any
connection with surrealism. No.
1. There are some technical glitches as well, no hardware is now in
isolation, embedded systems are an example of that. And what else is
BIOS but embedded software in a chip. A chip cannot work if there is
no softeare embedded. OS to instruct a hardare needs Kernel -- a layer
of programe, code to establish connection between user and the
hardware. Thus the point that software and hardware are isolated is
not correct.
2. Quantum computing that breaks the barrier of 1, 0 is not mentioned
properly.
3. Every processor goes through strainous process of testing and
validation at every stage, the source of each programme is monitored
and executed to see if the chip behaves in particular manner. I have
been to Intel's validation lad in Bangalore and it takes more than 2
years to validate a chip. So, I disagree that any chip would simple go
to production.
4. Thus, its not hitting the nail in the head. And No connection with
Surrealism whatsoever.
