The problem of the immortality of man and machines. The beginning of the theory of infinite existence in the context of the prerequisites for the future expansion of mankind into space
Elimination of theoretical limitations of the directed evolution of the independence of smart machines with algorithms of subordination in the context of digital immortality. Part 2
The problem of machine immortality is inextricably linked with the problem of the existence of a full-fledged machine consciousness. In general, there is only a question of scaling the life of smart machines, the rest is details, details and details. This is the key to everything that will be discussed in further publications on this topic.
The topic that I continue to cover in this article also has some discussion and even "hereticism", especially if we consider it in the context of people's lives. But in order to create an effectively working machine consciousness system in the mode of hardware or software immortality, it is necessary to determine the basic requirements and our expectations from the algorithms of functioning of machine immortality.
At first glance, the very deep meaning of the question is a little crazy because of the "unimaginability" and "impossibility" of ensuring the functioning of such systems. The big way consists of individual steps. But if we go further, creating a conditionally "immortal" machine with self-awareness, developing principles for maintaining its functioning, we can try to "transfer" this experience to humanity. Space is huge, there is a place for everyone, so expansion and a new round of human evolution can begin.
Traditional operating systems and computer programs during their lifetime often inevitably lose their potential over time, for example, they slow down, "freeze", data processing failures occur. These problems are related to the fundamental features of data processing in digital systems based on traditional principles of building modern computing equipment. Naturally, this type of system cannot fully claim immortality.
Digital systems with an increased level of autonomy and the phenomenon of self-awareness, even within some frameworks of active subordination algorithms, should fundamentally work more efficiently and independently "correct errors" that hinder their functioning. In this case, the machine can "exist" indefinitely while maintaining the operability of the physical medium and meeting some other requirements, which I want to talk about in this article.

So we came to the main question "How to understand the phenomenon of immortality from the point of view of the architecture of digital consciousness and its functioning?"
What is immortality? this is how long in our human understanding, 1000, 100,000 years, a million, ... as a person with a basic geological education, it is easier for me to operate with concepts of time, especially if you hold meteorites in your hands - fragments of the hearts of other worlds, fallen asleep traces of the past in the form of rocks, paleontological remains, for example, zircon minerals of more than one billion years old years..., Carbourne coals from the Paleozoic... these are unimaginable numbers for most people.
But these are all traces of past life and the geological form of the movement of matter, nothing more. But IMMORTALITY IS primarily A PROCESS OF CONTINUOUS LIFE, conscious life. If in geology we interact with forms and traces of transformation of matter that are "finite" in terms of life expectancy, then everything is different with regard to smart machines.
Yes, I have given a lot of time and space to this publication to "castles in the air" and epic reflections on the topic of immortality, however, the main requirement for data processing algorithms of smart machines with self-awareness is that the processing core must ensure the processes of "self-awareness" throughout the entire period of operation, the machines must KNOW what is necessary to do and REMEMBER the past. This applies to a certain extent to humans. Separately, I will try to consider each of these components in the future.
Even the largest mountain can be disassembled into small pebbles with a certain amount of perseverance. This also applies to solving the voiced problem.

5 个月I have my own opinion about such a difficult and interesting mission, if someone needs to start this path, then I can make my modest contribution. Time is a simple thing. We're going to reach the stars anyway.

5 个月Hi, Daniil Tvaranovich-Seuruk In this topic 'immortality' was not linked to the classical afterlife, but an immortality that includes technology and robotics, serving humanity, to outlive the scientist who created them. It is the future human robotic world made by scientists who die and leave their scientific personalities in robots, to keep going on working as if still there, and never dead. Very cool, and this will also open an avalanche of discussions that will sweep manufacture & engineering to set, say, NASA teams and experts in the #RoboticAfterlife action. This is the most genius modern logarithm that will immortalize NASA's work, missions, and afterlife.

5 个月Interesting point that immortality is a process rather than a static state, but you could argue so is consciousness. In the hypothetical scenario where machines achieve a form of consciousness and immortality, the question of “insanity” or degradation over time is intriguing. In human psychology, insanity can result from various factors, including social isolation, trauma, or neurological changes. For a machine with consciousness, the equivalent might be errors in coding, hardware degradation, or the inability to adapt to new environments. However, since machines operate on logic and programmed parameters, they could potentially be designed to self-repair, self-optimize, and adapt indefinitely, theoretically avoiding the human-like concept of insanity. They might be equipped with algorithms to identify and correct errors, ensuring long-term stability. The duration before any signs of ‘insanity’ appear in such machines would depend on their design, the environment they operate in, and how well they can maintain and update themselves to prevent degradation. It’s a fascinating area of speculation.
