Reasoning

Reasoning is the ability of an entity to judge what is right and wrong circumstancially. since mostof our society is derived from our practices, what's wrong in our culture could be neutral or even right in others, now that the cultural merge is happening, we're certain to end up one day with a set of Universal rights and wrongs (by definition)

Now how do we decide what's right and wrong, I believe this is beacuse of our attachment to our existance or selfism, we term whatever is right to suite our comfort. We support our parents because they support us, we support our friends because we're stronger and more likely to survive in a group than alone.

Asimov, a Sci-Fi author penned 3 laws for robotics, they are
  1. A robot may not harm a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
  2. A robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
  3. A robot must protect its own existence, as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
Deriving from these, to project human realities
  1. A Human must protect himself.
  2. A human may not harm another human being, or, through inaction, allow another human being to come to harm.
  3. A human must adhere to a defined set of "Human Behaviors", unless they conflict with the first and second rule.
Human behaviors could be borrowed from simple rules , a.k.a Moral Science, be kind, dont lie, that kinda stuff.

Cosmic Microwave Background - Before the Universe

I was reading through Wikipedia about the Big-Bang, the start of it all.....and this seems to be an interesting theory for believers , no matter where the arguement about god starts from, it all ends at what was before the big bang, And they jump on you saying that god exists and created the big-bang.

this brings me to the topic at hand.

I'd suggest looking up "The Cosmic Microwave Background", as this is percieved to have been the voidfiller before the big-bang. it was all microwave folks, a lot of it. and the temperature was about 3000 Celcius on an average, the instability and non-uniformity of the heat in this "background", created a bang somewhere, and the Universe has been expanding since. now the question goes to why the microwave unrest happened. while this is not know, i'd say that we'll know sooner than expected. the mystery of the universe is not far away from being de-ciphered.

The fact though is that CMB still exists as a void between the galaxies, and since it's nothing but radiation, the Universe is transparent to it. it's all still around us.

And while all the believers have a go, trying to prove that the Microwave Background was in-fact god in the first place, ask them to pray for free popcorn. cya later..........

Life Permissions

I was thinking about how Absolute AI would treat Humans when....say....a perfect AI exists in the future, it should of course value it's own life and human life. I suppose you then elected leaders would decide who gets to be protected and who isnt, and they would mark a set of permissions a~la Unix style, where who's accessible by whom

Got me thinking into how we could divide AI groups, families and communities. I'm thinking Folders and files, with file permissions. a fodler would represent a group of any sort and a individual entity would be represented like a file.

You'd have folder allocations like this
Communities>Locales>Group of Families>Families>Individual

The world would get to see the community as a whole and the modifications are only possible by the Community administrator internally (or based on its file permissions read/write/execute). this would work great if the AI communities treat themselves this way. It could apply to humans too.

This would require a heavily standardized protocol, which is hard to achieve these days.
