Jeez what next....This just in! Study shows that water is wet, and the brain processes things differently when you jump in a pool of water, then
when your out of it.
I suppose it makes sense as there trying to get more insight into how human minds and robots and programs can meld configure and interpret things as
to work in sync. But ya who would of thunk it that size does matter.
On that note how would you go about installing into a robot who has never felt water and does not have a concept of getting wet a process of
interpreting all that. Not only just a basic concept/warning of water, but you know a actual full on experience that any flesh and bone human would
get in the same situation. I suppose you can always just install sensors, and program them to emulate and simulate based on extrapolated data.
But in all it wont be the same thing at all...But then again! isn't everything just basic programming in a sort of way? Even the process of
evolution is just coding that nature has installed into each and everyone of the creatures on this globe, and everything and every-sense we have today
is just the updated version that we have, of the versions our ancestors had. And all that has been brought upon by trial and error via our senses
both physical and mental, and is constantly being updated as we are being bombarded by both external stimuli and by internal stimuli and thoughts, its
all basically just data types we are constantly processing.
The process of due elimination, conclusion and revaluation, constant programming and reprogramming. The only real difference between humans and
animals such as chimpanzees other then the obvious physical ones. Is that we are capable to some degree to program ourselves outside of the confines
of basic nature, and they are not, there still trapped in there little worlds.
But then again, are we? Or are we to just trapped in a different world, a bit bigger and vaster world but still just a more expanded version of our
hairy cousins the chimpanzees. In all! that to, the scope of it all and the levels to it all, can just be an interpretation as all just part of
the due process. Once this pond was our world and all we knew, then we found out that pond lead to a river, and then after some time that we even
found out that the river even lead into an ocean, and even then after more time. That ocean we discovered was part of a system a global system, and
then after much deliberation we found out that even the global system was part of a galactic system, and so on etc.
Its merely our extended concepts and the fact that we can grasp those concepts that separates us from the animals such as chimpanzees, and those metal
concepts are expressed in out physical makeups as well, we may not notice it or we may not think about it in any discernible way but it must be so.
And in a analog universe, there is a duality and a always constant comparison and link. So there to is a duality and constant comparison and link
between to the mind and body operations. As one transforms so to must the other mirror it in a way, and if anything DNA is just a print out of that
process, a chart, a toll, a tally list if you will. Of all that came before it, and all that has happened, much more then it is a copy or blue
print of what we are in our current state, its a copy of what we were. Because that current state is ever so slightly always in a state of flux and
change.
In all its seems most look at the whole DNA thing like its a sea, or even a lake, something that you can reach into and has always been there and
something that you can fish out what you want from, and even something that you can change at a whim. But in truth even if it is that. Its also a
river, something that is always flowing, albeit the flow is slow and over ages and millennias. But still its a thing in motion. So in all you can
not change anything in the overall without interrupting that flow, any major change would be like throwing a monkey ranch into the cogs of an engine.
It would not respond well, it would even break the whole chain and flow of things, it would be literally a fatal thing to do. That is to have any
major change in a shot time span.
But then again everything is trial and error, in the scope of things, so by trial and error it should correct itself over time.
