Divine Tribulation of the Star Civilization - Chapter 997

[997. Wisdom of the past (2)]

If these simplest 0 and 1 signals are connected together in the form of a network, they will form a huge “parallel distribution system”. The parallel distribution system has powerful computing power and is very stable, and can completely replace the central system. .

According to the logic of this theory, the same applies to other scientific research fields.

The central management systems of all projects, including the “Creation Project” and the “Planetary Defense Energy Network”, will be completely replaced by the “flat distribution system”.

All birders were shocked by this discovery and gradually became interested.

An unknown amount of time passed…

Further research by the bird people showed that each biomass unit in this system has a simple structure and is similar to a brainless cell. They have no intelligence at all and only contribute a tiny fraction of the overall computing power.

But when they are connected to each other to form a network, they form an overall computing power that is astonishingly huge.

So the “parallel distribution system” is called – “matrix”.

After the “Matrix” was invaded by Ax creatures, safety became the top priority, and comprehensive system improvements were put on the agenda.

At this time, someone proposed using the “matrix” to replace the “central system” and create a new auxiliary brain. When billions or even trillions of nerve cells are connected into a network, the accessory brain forms the “mother” brain.

This introduces a new topic – how the “matrix” generates artificial intelligence.

In the early research of the bird people, they found that it is not only animals but also many plants that have self-awareness. As long as the bioelectrical signal reaches a certain scale, it will occur.

It seems that scale is the key. How big an electrical signal scale can be converted into a “matrix”?

The answer is – no limit, the more the merrier!

As long as a signal can be generated, every independent biological unit, every tiny cell, and every network that can transmit information will form a “matrix”. When a matrix is large enough, the fault tolerance rate will become larger, and changing one or two values in the matrix will not change its computing power.

In other words, even if other units in the “Matrix” are destroyed, the overall capabilities will not be affected.

So the “matrix” itself is the code for the generation of wisdom and consciousness.

However, this is something that seems to be quite paradoxical:

the birdman’s brain undoubtedly has the strongest intelligence on the planet, but if you open their brain and look at it, you will find the main substances that make it up. ——What nerve cells can do is actually very simple.

It is nothing more than transmitting activation or inhibition signals by releasing some chemical substances, which is equivalent to a generator that can only send out two signals: 0 and 1.

Therefore, this constitutes a paradox: How does macro intelligence emerge from micro “simplicity”?

After exploring the principles of the “Matrix” more deeply, they finally figured it out.

If these simplest 0 and 1 signals are connected together in the form of a network, they will form a huge matrix. And matrices have computational power.

This means that when they present an input signal to this matrix, the matrix will calculate an output signal that is not the same as their input signal.

In other words, the matrix responds to signal stimuli.

So what is this?

This is intelligence!

Yelgin conducted a lot of experiments based on the principles of the “Matrix” and finally figured out something – the matrix itself became a condensed version of the “Matrix” experiment.

He used the “matrix” generated by Metro cells to replace the semi-biological modules, which solved the problems faced after the central system collapsed and also solved the biggest drawback of the central system – once controlled by the central system, there will be violations of instructions. The problem.

It was under the guidance of this theory that the prototype of the new “matrix” was born. Its computing power increased almost exponentially. Sometimes, it could increase hundreds or even thousands of times in a day.

It is the primary product of Birdman’s exploration of “the emergence of self-awareness,” but it only goes so far.

The artificial intelligence network later built by the bird people verified the power of the “Matrix”. After the new “Matrix” initially used the “Matrix”, they almost kept pace with the original “Matrix” central system on the starship, and soon surpassed it, undergoing qualitative changes, even affecting the climate tower energy network.

Contrary to past understandings, the Birdmen used their collective wisdom to develop a solution that was completely different from that of their home planet’s civilization.

The conclusion of it all is exciting!

But at that time, the Supreme Protector had died, and she could no longer see these research results.

Hundreds of years later, when the other birdmen gradually aged and fell into deep sleep due to reasons such as not adapting to the earth’s environment, the young researcher Yelkin inherited the idea of this solution.

He continued to explore the field of artificial intelligence and discovered many things that were difficult to understand.

For example, there may be more than one basic substance for the production of artificial intelligence, and not only brain biomass can become the carrier of consciousness. The carrier of “consciousness” will not be limited to living things. In theory, it can emerge from any sufficiently large “matrix” system.

At the same time, another discovery puzzled Yelkin.

That is, the soul of a creature may not exist in any brain nerve cell. The soul exists in the network connection of countless brain nerve cells. This kind of network exists in nature and can range from individual organisms to huge galaxies and even the entire universe. .

Many problems that followed were placed in front of him – the soul mentioned here is an unexplainable thing that can produce consciousness, but cannot be seen or touched.

A long time ago, bird people had different opinions based on their own understanding.

Yelgin studied everyone’s thoughts, read the valuable knowledge they left behind, and fell into confusion for a time.

So, what will happen if it continues to develop?

Maybe their souls can also be carried by another “matrix”?

If every “matrix” requires energy activation, then how is the energy transfer achieved?

With great trepidation, Yelgin began to study this topic continuously. He used the “matrix” as an experimental sample and launched a long-term exploration around the formation, output, energy stimulation and other aspects of the “matrix”.

The deeper he probed, the more answers he got that shocked him.

This answer is enough to subvert the previous understanding of bird people: if these brain-simulating systems are finally realized one day in the future and solve the problems of “carrier” and “energy transfer”, then the so-called “uniform consciousness of all things” will inevitably Will appear.

Based on the research of the new “matrix”, Yulkin further summarized several meaningful facts.

First of all, the new “matrix” does not have a “central system”. All brain nerve cells are both its body and its brain. Each cell has strong connectivity and is aggregated into a “matrix” through bioelectric waves. The shape seen from the outside is only its physical structure.

Secondly, destroying any part of it will not have a substantial impact on it – by drawing energy from the Mitro cells to regenerate, all individual data is transferred, and fragments of data are dispersed into each cell.

If cell regeneration is complete, it can be recoded and all data restored.

As long as the energy continues, the Matrix will exist forever and will live forever.

Based on the conclusions drawn from the research on the new “Matrix”, Yulkin also feels the future development direction of the “Matrix” – if all data can be loaded into the “Matrix” separately, this must include the sleeping consciousness of the bird people.

This kind of thing made him excited and kept him awake all night.

In the end, he actually created something that can integrate the consciousness of living things-illusory eyes.
