This finding is that the so-called mastermind actually does not need the central system—CPU. Because the central system is very fragile and unstable, as long as the central system fails, the entire system will face collapse.

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

According to the logic of this theory, it is the same when it is derived from other scientific research fields.

Including the "Generation Project" and the "Planetary Defense Energy Network", the central management system of all projects will be completely replaced by the "flat distribution system".

All bird people were shocked by this discovery, and gradually developed a keen interest.

I don’t know how long the time has passed...

A further study by the birds shows that each biomass unit in this system has a simple structure, similar to a brainless cell. They don't have any intelligence at all, and only contribute a very small part of the overall computing power.

But when they are connected to each other to form a network, they constitute the overall computing power, which is astonishingly huge.

So "parallel distributed system" is called-"matrix".

After the "mother body" was invaded by Acres organisms, safety became the top priority, and comprehensive system improvements were put on the agenda.

At this time, someone proposed to use the "matrix" instead of the "central system" to create a new auxiliary brain. When billions or even hundreds of billions of nerve cells are connected into a network, the auxiliary brain forms the "maternal" brain.

This introduces a new topic-how "matrix" generates artificial intelligence.

In the early studies of bird people, they found that not only animals, but also many plants produce self-awareness, as long as the bioelectric signal reaches a certain scale.

It seems that scale is the key, so how much electrical signal scale can be transformed into a "matrix"?

The answer is-there is no limit, the more the better!

As long as it can generate signals, every independent biological unit, every tiny cell, and every network that can conduct information is a "matrix" of existence. When a matrix is ​​large enough, the fault tolerance rate will increase, 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, it will not affect the overall ability.

So the "matrix" itself is the code generated by wisdom and consciousness.

However, this is something that seems quite paradoxical:

Birdmen’s brains undoubtedly possess the strongest intelligence on the planet, but if you open their brains and look at them, you will find that the main substance that composes it—nerve cells can do, is actually very simple.

It is nothing more than the release of some chemical substances to transmit activation or inhibition signals, which is equivalent to a generator that can only send out two signals of 0 and 1.

Therefore, this constitutes a paradox: how does the macroscopic intelligence emerge from the microscopic "simple"?

After more in-depth exploration of the principle of the "matrix", they finally figured it out.

Connect these simplest 0 and 1 signals in the form of a network, and they will form a huge matrix. The matrix is ​​computationally powerful.

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 smart!

Based on the principle of the "matrix", Yurkin did a lot of experiments, and finally figured out something-the matrix itself became a condensed version of the "matrix" experiment.

He replaced the semi-biological module with the "matrix" generated by Mitro cells, solved the problems faced after the collapse of the central system, and also solved the biggest drawback of the central system-once the central system is controlled, there will be violations of instructions. The problem.

It is under the guidance of this theory that the embryonic form of the new "matrix" was born, and its computing power has risen almost exponentially, and sometimes it can be increased by hundreds or even thousands of times in a day.

It is the primary product of Birdman's exploration of "self-awareness", but it is limited to this.

The artificial intelligence network built by the Birdmen later proved the power of the "matrix". After the initial use of the "matrix" in the new "matrix", they almost kept pace with the original "matrix" central system on the starship, and soon surpassed it, undergoing a qualitative change, and even affected the climate tower energy network.

Unlike previous understandings, Birdman used collective wisdom to actually develop a solution completely different from that of the home planet civilization.

The conclusion of everything is exciting!

But at that time, the Supreme Protector had died, and she couldn't see the results of these studies.

Hundreds of years later, when other bird-men were not adapting to the earth's environment and other reasons, their bodies were gradually aging, and finally fell asleep, the young researcher Yurkin inherited the idea of ​​this solution.

He continued to explore the field of artificial intelligence and found many incomprehensible things.

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

At the same time, another discovery puzzled Yurkin.

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 network exists in nature and can range from biological individuals to huge galaxies, and even the entire universe. .

The many problems that followed were placed in front of him-the soul mentioned here is an inexplicable thing that can generate consciousness, but it is invisible and intangible.

A long time ago, bird people started from their own understanding and had different opinions.

Yurkin studied everyone's thoughts, read the valuable knowledge they left behind, and fell into a daze for a while.

So, what will happen if it continues to develop?

Maybe their soul can also be carried by another "matrix"?

If every "matrix" needs energy to be activated, then how does the energy transfer be realized?

With an extremely nervous mood, Yurkin began to study this subject continuously. He took the "matrix" as an experimental sample, and carried out long-term exploration around the formation, output, and energy stimulation of the "matrix".

The deeper he explored, the more shocking answers he got.

This answer is enough to subvert the bird people’s previous cognition: if someday in the future, these systems that simulate the brain are finally realized and solve the problems of "carrier" and "energy transmission", then the so-called "consciousness of unity of all things" will be inevitable. Will appear.

According to the research of the new "matrix" ~lightnovelpub.net~Yurkin further summarized several meaningful facts.

First of all, the new "parent body" does not have a "central system." All cranial nerve cells are both its body and its brain. Each cell has strong connectivity and is aggregated into a "matrix" through biological electric 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 absorbing energy mitero cells are regenerated, all individual data is transferred, and data fragments are scattered into each cell.

If the cell regeneration is complete, you can re-encode and restore all data.

As long as the energy continues, the matrix will always exist, immortal.

According to the conclusions obtained from the new "matrix" research, Yurkin also feels the future development direction of the "matrix"-if all the data can be loaded into the "matrix" separately, this must include the bird people's sleeping consciousness.

This kind of thing made him excited and awake at night.

And in the end, he actually created something that can integrate biological consciousness-illusory pupils.
