Production
Writer Brannon Braga intended for the dilemma faced by the Doctor in this episode to mirror the philosophical work of René Descartes, in particular his famous maxim "Cogito ergo sum" ("I think, therefore I am"). He later stated that the episode was his favorite of all the scripts that he had written for Star Trek: Voyager, and executive producer Michael Piller likewise described it as "a fascinating episode."

Famous quotes containing the word production:
“The society based on production is only productive, not creative.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“Perestroika basically is creating material incentives for the individual. Some of the comrades deny that, but I can’t see it any other way. In that sense human nature kinda goes backwards. It’s a step backwards. You have to realize the people weren’t quite ready for a socialist production system.”
—Gus Hall (b. 1910)
“It is part of the educator’s responsibility to see equally to two things: First, that the problem grows out of the conditions of the experience being had in the present, and that it is within the range of the capacity of students; and, secondly, that it is such that it arouses in the learner an active quest for information and for production of new ideas. The new facts and new ideas thus obtained become the ground for further experiences in which new problems are presented.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
