Two months have passed.
"Viktor, Kaelea, I expect you two!" the White Queen called us.
I turned out in the castle.
Something new happened: Kaelea appeared from nothing, as the Queen did many times. The body of Kaelea was formed from the colour points in the air.
"Wow!" I said.
Kaelea smiled, looking at me.
"I can't understand until now," I said, "My Queen, Kaelea: when I see your real bodies or this question doesn't make sense?"
Kaelea looked at me once more and smiled again.
"Poor Viktor! Maybe we won't any more trick him anymore, My Queen?" Kaelea asked.
"Why not, Kaelea?" the White Queen asked, "this is absolutely necessary to mess your head, Viktor. We will do it further. Women must have the mystery," and laughed loudly.

The White Queen and Kaelea disappeared and appeared behind my back.
"We won't explain anything to you," Kaelea said, looking at me slyly.
"It's a more complex thing to transform a human into a creature like me, " the White Queen said, "and this is irreversible, Viktor."
"So, I can return to the ordinary state?" I asked.
"We will see," the White Queen said, "It is possible to transfer your personality to an artificial brain completely. I think about it."
"Is it possible to save individuality without a biological brain at all?" I asked.
"This requires deep knowledge," the White Queen responded, "Your scientists have no idea about it, my boy. Some of them think that we can rewrite the information on the computer and make a virtual copy of people's minds, and that's enough. It is complete nonsense."

"What is the mistake here?"
"What if you make several copies of human identity, or if you make a copy while human is still alive? Only the lack of technical means prevents your civilisation from doing this. Don't you feel something is wrong with such an "immortality" if we have questionable conclusions?
If we talk about some "intellectual" device that processes some information, we forget about the physical realisation of this and focus on "information processing" or "function", which is the essence of "intelligence". But what is "information" itself? Can it be a carrier of individuality?"
She made a gesture with her hand, and the holograms of symbols, letters and hieroglyphs appeared in the air. She had touched one symbol, and I heard a high-pitched sound. She did it with other symbols and hieroglyphs, and I heard other sounds and saw colourful flashes.
"The system recognizes code and executes commands," she explained.
She had combined the letters into the word, and I heard the sound and saw a colourful flash that was identical to the effect from one of the hieroglyphs.
"The instructions can be written in another language," I commented.
"Note one more obvious thing: the same symbols can have different meanings in different languages. The rock that someone left under the tree can be a conventional sign for someone else who knows what it means. And it can mean many things. This rock is just a rock and nothing more from the point of view of other people who don't know about this sign. All this is information. The system takes some actions. You get some impressions: you hear the sound and see the flash of light. The symbol causes the chain of events in the system and your consciousness. But the letter or hieroglyph may be completely different from the final result of this chain of events.

Information and the brain are like a key and a lock. The key is a meaningless piece of metal without a lock. A television camera filming the events does not understand their meaning at all and doesn't have visual perceptions.

Neither symbols and words nor binary code in the computer have magic power. They can't take actions or create subjective experiences of living beings. All "properties of information" are only properties of systems that interpret it.

We have some structure with processes inside in all cases that are linked with information. Well, what should it be like for consciousness to live there? What is a subjective experience? Why do we feel something? All these talks about "consciousness in the computer" are illegal until you have a theory that could be verified in some way."
