- "They were probably under the simulation," Tobias says, "and are now …." He pauses.
Chpt 1simulation = something that is not real, but is made to imitate or behave like something that is(editor's note: In this novel, people placed in a simulation don't know things aren't real. Outside of the novel, people know when they are in a simulation--as when a pilot practices flying a particular type of aircraft without ever leaving the ground.)
- We stopped the simulation—the weight of the hard drive in my back pocket reminds me—but we didn't pause to see the aftermath.
Chpt 1simulation = something that is not real, but is made to imitate or behave like something that is
- On it is the simulation data that controlled the Dauntless, and the record of what the Erudite did.
Chpt 2
- And she doesn't ask about my shoulder, how I was shot, what happened when I left the Abnegation safe house to stop the simulation.
Chpt 2
- I tell him Johanna's question about the timing of the simulation attack, and Marcus's response, and the argument that followed.
Chpt 3
- We each had to choose a research focus in Erudite initiation, and mine was the aptitude test simulation, so I know a lot about the way it's designed.
Chpt 4
- If she was good with computers, it was only as a hobby, and I doubt that a computer hobby would enable someone to fiddle with an Erudite simulation.
Chpt 4 *simulation = something made by a computer that imitates something that is realeditor's notes: In this novel, people in this non-real environment typically don't know things aren't real. Outside of the novel, any such environment is probably used for a training exercise--as when a pilot practices flying a particular type of aircraft without ever leaving the ground.
- All I know is that I'm always aware during simulations, and sometimes I can wake myself up from them.
Chpt 4simulations = things that are not real, bur are made to imitate or behave like other things
- Like the attack simulation.
Chpt 4simulation = something that is not real, but is made to imitate or behave like something that is
- It's hard to say, because the Dauntless simulations were supposed to end when we had calmed down.
Chpt 4simulations = things that are not real, bur are made to imitate or behave like other things
- Nothing like what I just described ever happened to him in the aptitude test simulation, I know.
Chpt 4simulation = something that is not real, but is made to imitate or behave like something that is
- You may have succeeded in shutting down the attack simulation, girl, but it was by luck alone, not skill.
Chpt 5
- I know it contains more than the simulation data.
Chpt 6
- Yes, I'm sure it will be very peaceful when we are all either dead or cowering in submission under the threat of mind control or stuck in an endless simulation.
Chpt 6
- If my brain is weird enough to resist the simulation serum, why not this one?
Chpt 7
- If the Erudite catch us—which is likely—they will search us, and I don't want to just hand over the attack simulation again.
Chpt 7
- The Abnegation are dying again, dying like they were when I pretended to be under the simulation.
Chpt 7
- No one fails Abnegation initiation, though, so we have very few of those, except for a bunch who survived the simulation attack and came to us for refuge.
Chpt 9
- If it makes you feel any better, he got shot in the arm from a foot away during the simulation attack.
Chpt 9
- "Before the simulation attack, part of the Abnegation aid effort involved testing the factionless for a certain genetic anomaly," she says.
Chpt 9
- Just in case they don't, I want to know how many people we've got who are resistant to simulations.
Chpt 9simulations = things that are not real, bur are made to imitate or behave like other things
- They were under the simulation, but maybe Candor doesn't know that or doesn't think it's a good enough reason.
Chpt 11simulation = something that is not real, but is made to imitate or behave like something that is
- "You were running the attack simulation," says Jack.
Chpt 11
- All we saw was you running the simulation and her nearly getting punched to death before she gave up.
Chpt 11
- One possible reason is because the simulation was over and you didn't want us to get our hands on it.
Chpt 11
- "The simulation didn't end," I say.
Chpt 11
- The last time I saw someone inject Tobias with something, it was Jeanine, putting him under a new simulation, one that was effective even on the Divergent—or so she believed.
Chpt 11
- What do you remember about being under the simulation?
Chpt 12
- "I was not under the simulation, at first," says Tobias.
Chpt 12
- "One of the defining characteristics of the Divergent is that their minds are resistant to simulations," says Tobias.
Chpt 12simulations = things that are not real, bur are made to imitate or behave like other things
- It's like the fear landscape simulation—you were aware while you were in it, and you could manipulate it.
Chpt 12simulation = something that is not real, but is made to imitate or behave like something that is
- Except for me, it's like that in every simulation.
Chpt 12
- When you say 'resistant to simulations,' what do you mean?
Chpt 12simulations = things that are not real, bur are made to imitate or behave like other things
- "Usually, it means we're aware during simulations," says Tobias.
Chpt 12
- But the attack simulation was different, using a different kind of simulation serum, one with long-range transmitters.
Chpt 12simulation = something that is not real, but is made to imitate or behave like something that is
- But the attack simulation was different, using a different kind of simulation serum, one with long-range transmitters.
Chpt 12
- You say you weren't under the simulation at first.
Chpt 12
- I mean that I was discovered and brought to Jeanine, and she injected a version of the simulation serum that specifically targeted the Divergent.
Chpt 12
- I was aware during that simulation, but it didn't do much good.
Chpt 12
- "The video footage from the Dauntless headquarters shows you running the simulation," Niles says darkly.
Chpt 12
- When a simulation is running, your eyes still see and process the actual world, but your brain no longer comprehends them.
Chpt 12
- "The nature of this new simulation was that it recorded my emotional responses to outside stimuli," Tobias says, closing his eyes for a few seconds, "and responded by altering the appearance of that stimuli."
Chpt 12
- The simulation made my enemies into friends, my friends into enemies.
Chpt 12
- I thought I was shutting the simulation down.
Chpt 12
- Someone entered the room, and I thought it was a Dauntless soldier, trying to stop me from destroying the simulation.
Chpt 12
- "I think my conflicted emotions confused the simulation," he says.
Chpt 12
- Somehow, that enabled me to fight the simulation.
Chpt 12
- We went back into the control room and stopped the simulation.
Chpt 12
- I will never let someone else inject me again, not after letting Eric inject me with attack simulation serum after my final test.
Chpt 12
- "I woke up," I say, "and everyone was under the simulation."
Chpt 12
