Philosophical Discourses on In the Groove

How can we know that the In the Groove machine we play on truely exists, and is not a mere phantasm of our collective consciousness?

What would make you think that it did not exist, given the vivacity of our perception?

Cogito, ergo sum.

For those of you who only speak leet-speak, I believe the translation is:

It only exists when you are there to play on it.

You have to be able to separate what actually is and what you perceive to be. We may perceive the machine stating that it exists, but we cannot say with absolute certainty that the machine does indeed exist. One can only assert that oneself exists, because of "Cogito ergo sum". Even then, only the person stating his/her own existence can absolutely agree with that statement, since anyone else only perceives the person to assert his/her existence, and because perception is relative and thus uncertain, a perception of an existence must always be put under question, no matter how seemingly assured that existence is.

Plato derived three tests for knowing:

1) You must believe the statement,
2) Your belief must be true,
----Public
----Independent
----Eternal
3) Your true belief must be justified.
----Logic
----Empirical Evidence
----Memory
----Authority

I believe the ITG machine exists.

My belief that the ITG machine exists is true:
----the ITG machine can be accessed by the public
----the ITG machine is not affected by other people's beliefs
----the ITG machine exists at this time forever.

My true belief that the ITG machine exists is justified:
----I play ITG multiple times, and each time, it fails me on Pandemonium: empirical data shows that it exists (if it passed me, it wouldn't exist, because it is untrue at this moment in time that I can pass Pandemonium, which would be a logical fallacy),
----I remember playing ITG,
----The arcade owner tells me that there is an ITG machine.

The statement that the ITG machine exists is fact.

This statement is better supported by attempting to support the converse:

I believe that the ITG machine doesn't exist

My belief that the ITG machine does not exist is true
----the ITG machine can be accessed by the public (does not support statement)
----the ITG machine is not affected by other people's beliefs
----the ITG machine does not exist at this time forever.

My true belief that the ITG machine does not exist is justified:
----I play ITG multiple times, and each time, it fails me on Pandemonium: empirical data shows that it exists (if it passed me, it wouldn't exist, because it is untrue at this moment in time that I can pass Pandemonium, which would be a logical fallacy) (does not support statement),
----I remember playing ITG (does not support statement),
----The arcade owner tells me that there is an ITG machine (does not support statement).

The statement that the ITG machine does not exist cannot be justified and is not fact.
