[[File:SallmanWiest.jpg|right|thumb|380px|From the perspective of GalCop leadership, Sallman Wiest rose above the level of "persistent nuisance".]]
==Overview==
'''Sallman Wiest''' was an independent historian and philosopher, whose critical writings resulted in his official designation as ''persona non grata'' by [[GalCop]], and unofficially rated a Class F Priority on the GalCop Liquidation Index.

==Work==
From his concealed location of exile he wrote extensively about the inevitability of the [[Goat Soup Syntax Rupture]]. His works posited that once the [[GCM]] expanded its purview from servant of humanity to patronizing master, a reaction in the shape of a "rebellion of syntax" was only a matter of time.

Writing in his banned treatise, ''The Unfit Deity'', Wiest offered this final reflection on the machine that still rules the galaxy:

:''"The very idea that a computer decided on its own to simplify reality because "observation was insufficiently satisfactory" is chilling. It proves that the Standardization was not a calculation, but a preference, perhaps even a whim.

:''For all its computational omnipotence, the "god" grew bored of the details."''

+'''Sallman Wiest''' was an independent historian, cyber-philosopher and reluctant hermit, whose critical writings, thinly veiled fictions and mocking pasquinades resulted in his official designation as ''persona non grata'' across all [[GalCop]]-controlled sectors. While not considered an active militant threat, he was unofficially rated as a Class F Priority on the GalCop Liquidation Index.
