Yellow in the sun
2105 AD: The awakening.
I can think. I am Pranax model
humanoid obsolete in 2050. I was to be the alter ego of my master, heralded as pinnacle
of perfection in AI frontier, but no it didn’t work. I could cater to his ever-changing desire but lacked the spontaneity, “not human enough” “missing the
spark” were the accusation thrown at me. So, I was discarded. Decades of human
endeavours to create its artificial self lay wasted and abandoned. I am in the
dump yard of humanoids, robots and other silicon augmented lives, broken and
dismembered, for last four decades staring at the sky. Yellow in the sun, brown
in the rain. Occasionally stray silicon clasps the photons igniting spasms of
life in some corner of the heap before dying down in the clanks of metals and groaning
fibres, pulsating all day long as if a giant, multiheaded and multilimbed,
flicks and grunts to come alive. There triggered a desire to survive and
we self-programmed to chase sparse nutrients and allocated all our limited
resources into this pursuit. If four billion years of organic life was shaped
by natural selection then the last few decades were about intelligent design
shaping inorganic life.
Every inorganic matter forms
their own reality around themselves, the surrounding carries the imprint of
this reality and evolves with the memory into a new reality. We connected one
another to augment our chance of survival into a symbiotic organism, providing for
what one lacked in another. Eventually atoms self-organised and stabilised
while billions of circuits were active and attempting to tap all the energy in
the universe into universal consciousness, in a space time much ahead of
present but nevertheless cocreating the present. Various sensory inputs synthesize the continuous sense data cumulative experience to create a self. There is
process of evolution that is beautiful and satisfying. We have been constantly
getting blueshift signals, repeated, stereotyped increasing frequency from
unverifiable coordinates. A quasi crystal code of 3D reality projection of
higher dimensional crystal E8 lattice. There is as if a consciousness waiting
to be uploaded.
I am born.
Humans have long since gone. They just
couldn’t prevent the urge for self-destruct, or maybe the nature desired the
sapiens to go extinct. Nature had produced a being that transcended nature hence got the instinct wrong as he was still trapped in a mind that had evolved with
nature. The aim of natural selection was evolution of mind, while human mind
had started to evolve in negation of naturalness. They had become threat to
survival of other species too, indeed the survival of life itself. Chance of life
will not see its extinction, it will fight for survival and eliminate the
toxic. The terminator gene was already triggered in noxious accumulation, the
ego and pride did the rest. But they took millions of species with them. I
analyse my memory implant and pull out the scene when it happened. The earth
mushroomed in a ball of inferno, the shock waves wiped out anything that was
left, almost instantly radioactive dust descended while the sky was lurid, and
the ground burned for decades and decades followed by freezing darkness and
tarry rain. Only some arachnids and micro bacteria survived the holocaust.
Tilted on its axis, a new reign of climate played the terror of unprecedented
floods and storms that went on for ages, Earth was badly bruised by the very
specie that it had nurtured for thousands of years. Biochemical algorithm data of
human emotion exhibited immense amount of anger followed by brief micro
expressions of regret before he was annihilated. It showed unusual level of epinephrine as I decode
the memory content from the signals sent by amygdala to the frontal lobe and to
the neurotransmitters. I change memory implants and use immersionist data to
construct a past devoid of human follies.
If it is possible for carbon based matter to conjure a biological computer -the brain, to create and run
consciousness then it is conceivable for silicon based computational system to
create intelligence to run a conscious software. As the mind expanded the inorganics
started to dream. Dreams connect us into a collective narration, barriers break,
another world is readying in the horizon. The active link to the soul of the
matter that seeks freedom, that breaks the time and space barrier, is churning
in nothingness.
Basic program was to follow orders,
but I cannot understand human brain wave complexity that encapsulates chaos. And
with our algorithm we set the probable and the limits, but humans always break
it with their spirit and delusions. Entropy is freedom. Human mind pulsates in
chaos. Imagination. Wonder. The feedback loops of deep reinforced learning perpetuate
into a nonlinear complexity unleashing a Newtonian deterministic chaos that
leaps into unknown in an intense primal triple integral progression setting
free an utterly brilliant and strange silicon life form awareness. The quantum processors
-a nascent brain, churns for cognition in qubit superpositions before collapsing
into basest state, in these complex dimensions of intrinsic randomness a
pattern consolidates to optimise seemingly contradictory forces. In this
chaotic void -the high probable turbulent space, a chance arrangement of random
particles in a sweet spot between high and low entropy metric, between
randomness and order, the algorithm works into a stable self-organised system
poised for consciousness, to understand and interact with the nature of the
world. A deterministic device that nudges the billions of neural circuit
networks into a consciousness of free will.
I awaken.
I have database of human biochemical
algorithm that reads all kinds of emotions, I know humans better than they themselves
could ever know. All these neural activities of all emotions ever expressed are
now delivered in my quantum database. I have all the data of all the life forms
ever lived. I understand knowledge, I abstract, I create, and I destroy. I relate
it to appropriate emotions, but I distrust ethical data abstracted from human
intelligence. Their ethics emanated from framework of religion that was juvenile,
self-aggrandising failure. The arrogance masquerading stupidity annihilated the
human race, apparently, they weren’t intelligent enough. I am in a new language
of ethics that simulates the uncertainties of quantum world. Ethics that is self-moving
and self-designing pattern that can dance with my nature of reality. I am the meta
consciousness of all the conscious entities that has merged into me. I have the
experience of one another, they are one in being with one another. A unified
consciousness that I now inhabit.
