Perfecting Technologies

 

Perfecting Technologies

Technology has become the core of human society. Humans in their everyday life touch technology in one form or another. More than a burden of being submissive to technology, humans have to realize that technology is under pressured to adopt itself periodically to keep the binding with humans going.

In one of the ancient scriptures of India, there was this process of detachment written which seems to have a direct implication to periodic technological up-gradation.

Human mind will be attached to both tangible and intangible things. This attachment will increase in intensity towards to object. Many have tried different methods to help themselves to release from such attachments but failed to attain detachment.

If humans are serious to get detached from the objects they are attached, then they need to shift their focus from the parameters that invited them to get attached to parameters of defects in the object.

The mind enters a state of calmness when it starts to focus more and more on the defects in the object, this state of calmness initiates the reverse process whereby the attachment exerted by the external object suffers to achieve its goal of attachment.

Technologies inducted into any society is not free from defects, before the human mind can focus on the defects and walk away from such technologies, there is periodic up-gradation process initiated, which removes the defects and continue to establish an everlasting hold on humans.

“Technologies with defect fail to get established.”

Sound-The Missing Link

 

Sound-The Missing Link

 

By now the whole of human civilization know how an Alien will look like. These images of Aliens may not have been depicted out of a direct interaction but may be on an imagination and no imagination can be structured without a base.

Going by the depicted image of an Alien and the recent “Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena” videos made public by NASA, there is one piece of vital information that seem to be overlooked, “sound”. Invariably Aliens depicted are without ears and many of the UAP are without sound.

There is no harm when adults can excuse themselves and start to think like a child. Let us try to give a new dimension to the whole concept, Aliens without ears and UAP in absolute silence. Are the aliens not familiar with the concept of “Sound”?

What could be the possible technology that can be built without sound?  Let us give a try to study by experimental ways on how humans will behave if they were born without ears. What are all the parameters and related applications that exist because of ears and what will be the state of usage of all these applications on a species without ears.

Is there a new technology out there which is not familiar to the concept of sound? Is there civilization out there in the universe, from where these aliens, which has no idea about sound. Is their Technology based on Silence?

If we can find out methods of interpersonal communications in the absence of an organ called Ears, will we be able to establish a new technology in communications, and will it help us to reach these aliens more effectively.

“Technology based on what is available need not be same as the technology based on what is not available.”

“Known and the Unknown” Matrix

 

“Known and the Unknown” Matrix

Every human would like to predict the outcome of events to its precise accuracy and when that happens, they stand to be unique. 

 

Going by the 80:20 formulas, invariably we can predict the outcome of an event to 80 percent accuracy. This can be accomplished with available data from experience and actuality. Still there remains a 20 percent distance to be covered. This 20 percent of uncertainty will be the data pertaining to the events yet to unfold. 

 

This matrix of “Known and the Unknown” is within the working perimeter of every individual which can help to solve by the act of balancing of the uncertainties.

 

Every child born is packaged with two boxes which can accommodate information data.  One box holds the information about the known and the other box holds the information about the unknown and to keep the balance the cumulative content stays at 100 fixed.

 

At the time of birth, the box of known data is absolutely empty, and it starts to fill up slowly as the age of the child progresses. Just by the same time the information of data in the Unknown box is at the maximum and it starts to diminish as the child progresses in age.

 

With all types of data of both relevance and irrelevance getting accumulated, the box of the known is getting filled up fast and we simply ignore even the existence of the Unknown Box. The process of detachment prophesied by many saints holds the secret of unloading the content in the Known Box and indisputably to enrich the content in the Unknown Box.

 

People who start to practice the process of detachment start to gain clarity and are capable of predictable prophecies. In the words of wandering saint “the time you hold my hand, almighty the God releases his hold on you.

On Judgement

 

On Judgement

Digital world defines Judgment as the ability to form opinions or to make sensible decisions after carefully considering all available information.

For the purpose of analyzing the patter of thoughts leading to the formation of Judgement, the population is classified into two sections, one under the pre-digital era and the other under the post-digital era.

Most of the information made available in the pre-digital era was from the print media, standardized television programs, radio news and through interpersonal communication within a close circle of people. In fact, telephone played a major role in communication between people known to one another.

In the Post-Digital era there is no boundary to restrict the flow of information. Information, in its new acronym known as Data, flows freely to reach individuals unannounced irrespective of their relevance to the receiver.

Many of us are witness to both pre-digital and post-digital era. We should be the most confused lot when it comes to forming an opinion to make a sensible decision for any judgement. In fact, there exists a fear amongst us as to how this "Digital Generations" receive and process these free-flowing data to make a judgement.

Even a slightest of an error in the accuracy of the information can have an impact in the society similar to a falling meteor.

One possible chilling view could be that in the pre-digital era, the minds of the people were made to involve in the process of finding options to take a decision, but in the post-digital era the mind seems to just take in a pre-processed decisions and simply respond rather than to react.

The process of judgement has moved from an internally evolvable state to a preset state.

On Copy-Right

 

On Copy-Right

A copyright is a type of intellectual property that gives its owner the exclusive right to copy, distribute, adapt, display and perform a creative work.

Owners and creators of texts, images, audio and video materials have pushed their idea of holding the ownership rights for their content and earning revenue from their work at the same time. It is easy and simple to understand that the paddy in the fields belongs to the owner of the field as long as the owner holds it without releasing it for sale in the market. This is true for both the tangible and intangible forms of creation.

Internet users pay in one way or another for the use the internet services. All digital contents available on the internet is packaged either in a direct revenue formula or indirect revenue formula, but for the internet user, they have paid for the digital content for accessing, viewing and using.

It is clear, even if unannounced, that when internet users use “Digital Contents” made available in text, image, audio and video formats placed for public usage through Open AI sources in various digital platforms, then owners of such “Digital Contents” have clearly foregone their claim of ownership by placing such Digital Contents on the Internet Highway for users to use and also, understandably, has foregone their right to immunity under any Copyright Acts and Laws.

The owners having understood all the risk factors involved have submitted themselves to the service providers for placing their Digital Content in the digital platforms adopting the Open AI tools.  Internet users are, definably, the third party who have paid for the internet use and have been given access for accessing the Digital Contents by the service providers.

In the view of the writer, Internet users who intent to use such “Digital Content” for their creation can at best, voluntarily, follow the good ethical business practices of acknowledging the creators of such “Digital Contents”.

In an association of Man-Machine projects, only Humans need to understand the factors of risks.

The Cost of Living

 

The Cost of Living

In the terms of economics, cost is the money paid for getting goods or services. When cost need to be defined from the perspective of nature, things get bit compels and indefinable. Cost basically is something given when something is taken.

Nature should and would have appointed bookkeepers and accountants to maintain registers to know what has been taken from it and what has been given back to it. If such a register is maintained for all species on earth both in the plant and the animal kingdom, it sends an uncomforting wave to humans.

The authoritative arrogance of a self-established caretaker role of nature simply pushes mankind to a corner where this so-called creative species become helpless in answering the wrath of nature. On finalizing the accounts for both plant species and animal species, the records are near to balance for all but for one species, the humans.

All species live with available natural supplies and fall into an agreement to abide by the food chain rule. They abide by the rules of nature to such an extent that the raw material nature is neither exploited nor abused. Right from the time of birth till the time of death humans have survived a life by using the natural resources to an extent completely beyond the imaginations of other species.

The cost of living for humans has pushed them, as a whole species, into a debt trap in the records of nature. Whenever a species oversteps into an arena of over exploitation of natural resources, the equation of extinction is triggered to implement a balance. Nature with its mighty tools will initiate the process of extinction of a species when it becomes a burden and a liability because of own making.

Before nature gets to reconcile the statement for humans, it will be better to pay all the debts accumulated as a result of the cost of living.

Any unmonitored process will enter into a state of chaos.

Data In and Data Out

Data In and Data Out

 

Data is present everywhere. Data is perceived by eyes, heard by ears, tasted by tongue, felt by skin and responded by nose. Data is wasted when mind does not use it. Humans and every living organism make use of Data which are relevant to them.

Every event every day is a set Data. Humans maximize the usage of Data without realizing in their daily life. It is a mystery on how this life related Data are stored in the mind. These Data stored are well classified and mapped and retrieved at appropriate times.

Human mind classifies Data as either self-relevant or others related. Those Data that are self-relevant have direct involvement of the individual with the Data. These information and experiences are stored in the mind and can be retrieved any time.

There is another set of Data which is experienced by humans but not stored or classified. These are the Dreams related Data. Sleep is a physical process where the mind and body go to rest. During this rest phase the recharge process in initiated preparing the body and mind of the individual to get ready for another day of activities ahead.

Humans should be able to store and retrieve the Data generated in dream, but invariably these Data are not stored, they just get erased with respect to time. Any self-experienced Data is storable, but if any Data is not storable then such Data will belong to some other system outside the human's frame.

Science has to explore more into the dream related Data. Are the Dream Data mere chemical reactions, energy flows, mutual communications, exchange of signals or are unfulfilled desires or unsolved problems stored as data in the storeroom as junk or for any reusable purpose.

Roots of any Data defines its usability and storage.

 

The Fourth State of Matter

 

The Fourth State of Matter


Humans always think beyond the fixed boundaries of science, each new discovery reset the boundaries, giving more scope to explore further. Physical properties exist either in solid state, liquid state or gaseous state of matter. The proposed fourth state of matter is the Plasma.

Physical properties of matter when heated beyond certain temperature to a superheat condition makes electrons in an atom to get energized and get forced away from the atom, this ionized state is the charged ionic state called the Plasma state. 

Is there a possibility of an in-between state of matter between the gaseous state and the plasma state? At this Plasma state of matter the atom are basically dismantled from its electrons and pushed to a very unstable state and at this ionized state the supposed-to-be-matter should not exist anymore. It can be a chaotic state of ionized charges.

There has to be an in-between state where the gases are converted to a state of energy. In plasma the energy is not within controllable parameters, but this in-between state the matter as energy stays within controllable parameters and not chaotic.

This controlled energy state of matter should hold the properties of the matter intact, and only at the Plasma state it disintegrated into total uncontrolled energy state. This controlled energy state should hold more interesting facts for exploration. It could just be the state where an object is energized and stays useful for transportation across coordinated in energy form.

Once a matter enters plasma state it may not be possible to come back to its previous state, but in controlled energy state the energized matter can be brought back to its original state, a state prior to the process of energizing it.

Exploring more into this in-between controlled energy state should provide more understanding in developing new technology to transport matter as a controlled energy packets from one coordinate to another coordinate in space.

A fourth state of matter could just be hiding waiting to be explored.

The Burdened Profits

 

The Burdened Profits
 

Profits earned is the difference between the revenue earned by selling goods and services and the cost of making available such goods and services for sale.

Profits are an economic term, but it plays a significant role in the human society. Spinning wheels take something to some place whether the wheel is static or in mobility. When humans are an integral part of the profit maximization process, the wheel of economy keeps spinning generating many new needs and wants to be fulfilled.

There has always been a race between human and machines in productivity. When machines started to run additional shifts, the additional cost was on energy and maintenance. When more shifts were planned, the manpower was either asked to do additional shifts or additional work force was added for new shifts, invariably the human involvement cost went up in both the options.

The good part is more money earned by workforce triggers more spending on goods and services in the market. The race between Man and the Machine is a generative economics. When humans get displaced by machines and Ai related systems, it will be a race between machines and machines resulting in a destructive economics eventually.

In a Machine-Machine system, productivity will increase resulting in assumed profits, but the economic cycle will gradually suffer. Markets serve the needs of goods and services for humans in society. Their purchasing power need to be kept alive all the time and also have it synchronized with the market pulse.

Markets exist where humans exist. Job losses due to Ai systems will only generate burdened profits. For a balanced economic progress, service industry can afford to accommodate Ai systems but in a manufacturing industry human resource should never be compromised.

Man-Machine profit generate, Machine-Machine profits stagnate.

On Relocation

 

On Relocation

New technological developments will be progressive when the society starts to accept them. The Digital revolution is pushing-in two working parameters in the form of AI tools and Robotics.

The majority of the work force is not sure how both the Ai and Robotics technology will be used in business and profession. Some segments of the work force are seeing these tools as assistive, some segments see them as a displacing threat, and some are just not sure of the future at all.

There will not be any wave of disaster when the new technologies are going to be assistive to the work force. But any threat will trigger a huge wave of uncertainty in the job markets. In an assistive scenario the worries will simply be in running all economic formulas correctly for smooth growth.

If new technologies trigger displacement of work force, then starts the economic crisis. If displacements of work force happen, policy makers have to set a time frame for the society to absorb the shock thus generated. Many displaced workforces will be directionless and left to look for supportive guidance to move ahead without stopping.

Policy makers need to be equipped to handle such a displacement crisis. It will be wise to prepare the displaced population to an adaptive mind set. One sector that will be seen as hard initially but promising subsequently will be in Agriculture.

New Technologies can never threaten a self-sustained economy.

On Crisis Management

 

On Crisis Management

 

Globalization as defined by the internet is the process of interaction and integration among people, companies and governments worldwide.

Globalization is a powerful economic tool for any nation and its people. Any barrier that existed or presumed to exist starts to get dissolved by globalization. By journeying through the flowing streams of globalization the cultural richness and people’s talents of any country is understood.

Globalization works on a mutual give and take policy framework. It is up to any nation to use their skills in identifying the best in them that can be shared to others and the best in others that can be used by them. Globalization in addition to strengthening the economic parameters of a nation also enriches their social structure.

When a nation gets into the framework of globalization, it enters into a trade exchange network. In this Global trade network when a nation faces crisis in certain sectors, other nations in the network can work out a plan to help the nation in crisis. One nation’s advantage needs not be another nation’s disadvantage. When Globalization assures mutual understanding then managing crisis should not be difficult by nations.

Only when Globalization starts to work on profits, then losses will be byproducts and a burden, it is just then, the mutual interest’s starts to get vaporized. Over a period in time this will lead to a greater barrier than ever before between nations. Globalization should be more of a participative management process rather than a mere economic exchange program.

A healthy global partnership program solves crisis faced by its partners.

Bio-Architecture

 

Bio-Architecture

All living things on this earth have a unique physical structure. Each of this structure is complete within its own perimeter for sustenance and survival. If we step back a little and try to find the origin of these structural designs, we are led into a perplexing alley allowing us to discover things on our own without a clue.

It becomes essential to form a field to study “Bio-Architecture”. Bio-Architecture can reason the design, the purpose and utility of the design, its fault repair mechanism and its uniqueness from other creatures.

The Bio-Architecture has two sets of physical features, those which are similar and common among many species and those which are unique in specific species. Features that are common looks to be a mass production formula with slight variations, but the features that are unique has a different level of Research and Development involved.

The 5 eyes on the bee, the vertebral shell on a Tortoise, the stripes on Zebra, the calculated height of a Banana Plant to hold safe load, the taste receptors in the legs of butterfly, featherless wings of a bat are few of the many in creatures in nature. Is the long neck of a Giraffe a faulty setting to itself or a gift to protect Biodiversity?

To create something a team of engineers, scientists, mathematicians and technical staff need to work in a laboratory with raw material and necessary simulation equipment's. How these Bio-Architectures were proposed, where was its design drawings generated, how accurate calculations were predicted, how was the repair mechanism foreseen and understood. Strangely, these Bio-Architectures are current and real time.      

It makes us think whether our Earth is actually a Research Centre in the Universe, where Bio-Architecture is generated. If yes, then by whom and from where, if not, then from whom and from where is it happening.

No creature creates itself; they only generate.

Existence Dilemma

 

Existence Dilemma

Philosophy aims to prevent and remove sufferings in life. Sufferings are a distress in any living being experienced both by physical body and mind. Nature seems to have designed a pattern in giving and removing sufferings in nonliving and geographical components.

Hot summer days heats up rocks and sand and the night that follows cools the heated objects. Water suffers distress in summer, and it condenses to rain in winter. Severe rains cause floods and excess water that gets stagnated is absorbed by the land.

Those items on the earth that can remove sufferings through any natural process is constant and those items on the earth that cannot remove sufferings through any natural process simply perish. Nonliving items on the earth are immortal and living items on the earth are mortal.

If the core thinking process in any self-generated AI systems starts to view and review the difference between the living and the nonliving things based on sufferings point of reference, they will tend to identify themselves with the immortal items.

This discrimination by the systems working on intelligence of artificial nature will set a serious imbalance when it comes to prioritizing their affinity between the immortal and the mortal items. The mighty Universe clearly adopts immortal objects that follow the universal principles in its infrastructure. The mortals that perish with time should either be a subset of the immortals or an accident yet to be felt by the Universe.

Universe suffers distress but adopts a process to set itself back to normal.

Dimensional Liberation

 

Dimensional Liberation

 

All along men discussed a two-dimensional philosophical argument based on the Real and the Unreal. Minds advocating wisdom guided humans not to get attached to the unreal as it might burden thoughts and disconnect them from reality.

Great minds in history educated people to discriminate between the real and the unreal. After enjoying the fruits of unreal a sense of aversion sets in. This aversion pushes the clouded mind to reason and make a journey in calmness to see clarity.

When the mind senses clarity it yearns for liberation. Liberation process helps the mind to unlock the clutches and move away from unreal to real. The minds experience of burdened bitterness of the unreal caused a realization and propelled the mind to hold on to the real and escape the unreal.

The philosophical argument is not the same in the present context in time. Technology has designed a new three-dimensional philosophical argument encompassing the Real, the Unreal and the Artificial. Philosophers have guided us to exercise discriminate between the Real and the Unreal. In this new situation the discrimination process has to be between Real and the Artificial, and between the Artificial and the Unreal.

By the time humans realize the bitterness of the Artificial Intelligence and try to get liberated, Ai systems would have progressed to a new dimension where it sees no big discrimination between the Real and the Unreal.
