The Generated Emergence of Life:

According to Lawsin, Life evolves in six sequential orders, namely:

1. Aliveness
2. Awareness
3. Consciousness
4. Intuitiveness
5. Inlearness
6. Lifeness

Vector, the robot in our example, has all the five elements that make the machine with life.

STOA: Single Theory Of Everything

In common knowledge, life, consciousness, thoughts, emotions, animations, music, colors, and senses are affective states experienced by sentient beings. These terms are used to describe instances of moods. Yet, the very same terms are used to describe what seem to be properties of certain objects (e.g., things, life) which, unlike sentient beings, are unable to sense. We usually describe things employing these terms: We speak about the consciousness of a forest, the colors of a painting, the songs of a field of flowers, and the emotions of a landscape. Are we in fact referring to the same phenomenon? If not, why then do we employ the same terms?

These states are some examples of generated parameters called emergents. Emergents are illusions that create reality. They are illusions that are real. They exist but they don't exist so to speak. We sense or perceive them as if they are there but they are not. They are simply byproducts. These by-materials are sometimes called hidden or latent emergents.

Generated Emergence is a subset discipline of Autognorics. It deals with natural occurrences produced by intuitive objects, intuitive networks, intuitive machines, intuitive states, intuitive forms, intuitive materials, and intuitive systems. This phenomenon of latent emergence is known as the Generated Emergence or playfully named the Genee Theory.

Intuitive Emergence is the ability of an intuitive object to generate a parameter, a distinct attribute of its own, through its embedded inscription and structural design. 

According to Lawsin, who conceptualized Autognorics, Life evolves in six sequential orders, namely:

1. Aliveness
2. Awareness
3. Consciousness
4. Intuitiveness
5. Inlearness
6. Lifeness

These six marks of life are examples of generated emergents. Aliveness emerges because of the presence of energy. Awareness emerges because of the presence of sensors. Consciousness emerges because of the presence of association on objects. Intuitiveness emerges because of the presence of two or more objects that create options or logic. Inlearness emerges because of the presence of information. And Lifeness emerges because of being alive, aware, conscious, intuitive, and informed.

In short, Life emerges because of intuitive materials and embedded inscriptions. This concept is known as the Single Theory of ALL (STOA).

GENERATED EMERGENCE :

Like humans, machines don't just detect sounds, they can actually hear sounds. They don't just detect heat, they can actually feel the heat. They don't just process logic, they can actually think even without neural (mental) interventions. All of these things happen due to the phenomenon Joey Lawsin called Generated Emergence, a subject of Autognorics.

The Theory of Generated Emergence claims that everything emerges due to the natural occurrences produced by intuitive objects, intuitive networks, intuitive machines, intuitive states, intuitive forms, and intuitive systems.  

Intuitiveness is the ability of an object to generate a parameter, a distinct attribute of its own, through embedded inscription and structural design. Life, consciousness, thoughts, emotions, animations, music, colors, senses are some examples of generated parameters called emergents. Emergents are like mirages. We sense or perceive them that they are there but they are not. They are latent and only perceive when the conditions are right.

Lawsin classified things as Physicals and Abstracts. Physicals are made up of materials and by-materials. In the macro world, things with mass are classed as materials. Things generated by materials are classed as by-materials. Things like apples, rocks, air, water, fire are examples of materials. Things like temperature, pressure, gravity, electricity are examples of by-materials. By-materials emerge because material things exist. In simple terms, there must be at least two of something to exist. One exists because other things exist.

Software is an example of a latent emergent that is, in reality, is an illusion. Software is the by-material, while the hardware is the material. The letters, colors, pictures, and motions on the computer monitor are all but emergents. They don't exist unless powered up. In the computer world, everything is all but hardware.

THEORY OF M.I.N.D. :

"A heat sensor can detect heat, but it does not mean it can conceive or conceptualize heat". 

In this article, we will argue that the heat sensor can actually conceive the presence of heat. It can be done through the Theory of the Second Option, Theory of Queue, Codexation, Generated Emergence, and  Systems of Intuitive Networks. Once we prove this, one of the signatures of Life called by the mainstream as self-consciousness will be invalidated, discontinued, and must be rewritten. A new word, called Aneural Inlearness, replaces the debunked term.

The ability to conceive or conceptualize is sometimes called having a “theory of mind.” However, surprisingly, this theory depends too much on the presence of the brain, specifically on its fundamentals units called neurons. Neurons are specialized cells responsible for receiving and transmitting sensory inputs and outputs from and to the nervous system and the brain. The brain is believed to be the place where information is stored and processed, while the nervous system is the super-highways that relay instructions to every muscle of the body. However, we know now that the brain is not always the seat of inlearned information due to the facts uncovered in the various experimental models on Aneural Systems of Intuitive Networks (a brain without the brain) or the Brainless Memory Systems.

One of the Intuitive Network Systems is the basic aneural memory system shown below:

In this illustration, the system stores and processes information. It receives a signal from an external source. In this example, the hand is the source or the trigger mechanism that turns On and OFF the switch. The switch stores two kinds of instructions, 0 and 1. Zero means off while One means On. The wires serve as the highways where information is transported and relayed from one point to another. The bulb is actuated when there is a presence or absence of signals. When a signal is present, the bulb is ON. When a signal is absent, the bulb is OFF. This type of system does not need a brain. This "brainless" memory system is called Linear Aneural Wise System or Aneural Memory Systems in short.

Thus, it is not always true that the brain is the only place that stores and processes information. In fact, there are so many ways where information is stored and processed without the help of the brain (see Aneural Memory Systems)

Now, let us examine deeper the pictorial diagram and tell me which part of the system can be the brain be added or placed. Is the brain really necessary in an intelligent system? If not, then the brain does not really store information as many experts disavow. In fact, thoughts, reasons, emotions, ideas do not need to emanate from the brain. To prove these assertions, let us go back to our first argument: heat sensors can actually conceive the presence of heat.

Brainless Memory System: 

Fungi are examples of life-forms without a brain.

Another example of a Brainless Memory System or Intuitive Memory System is the machine in the video. It is not programmed by any means. The behavior of the machine to go in circles is due to Inscription by Design with its intuitive objects and embedded instructions.

The Making of a Living System:

Autognorics is the science of creating engineered life forms, things, machines, or systems. It is a discipline that deals with intuitive memory, intuitive networks, intuitive systems, intuitive machines, and intuitive objects. It was conceptualized by revisionist Lawsin in 1988 who aspired to shape up the framework of artificial intelligence and machine learning by shifting the paradigm into Intuitive Machine Systems. 

The Intuitive Machine System:

1.Mechanical Emergence of Aliveness.

2. Sensoric Awareness.

3. Aneural Consciousness.

4. Algorithmic Intuitiveness.

5. Aneural Inlearness.

6. Symbiotic LIfeness

                                                                                                                 Courtesy of Anybotics 

The Four Marks of a Living Machine:

1. It can transcodify abstracts to physicals (the primary indicator of consciousness);
2. It can transform physicals into mechanical actions or movements (inscription by design);
3. It can transfer motions into repetitive or autonomous actions (intuitive objects);
4. It can translate embedded actions into self persona (feeling, thinking, behaving).

The fourth mark might seem impossible. Yet, based on the standards of SELFS, the probability is already in a matter of time. The machine in the video is actually partially a living machine. The robot is already wired up with four out of the six elements of life: aliveness, awareness, consciousness, and intuitiveness. It is also living, the fifth element, because it can be automatically programmed to self-reproduce, self-consume energy, etc. And lastly, Its persona of being with life (lifeness), the sixth element, is already attainable through the Materialization of Information & Inscription by Design, also known as the "Theory of M.I.N.D."

But, how do we create the persona of a robot? How do we teach it to laugh, cry, reason, and feel in love?  

Way back from the beginning of Originemology, a project known as Biotronics was conceived to run the course of research on engineered life-forms. Along the way, new ideas were uncovered and a few new schools of thought and exploratory experiments still unknown to the academic community were invented. These fresh ideas revolved around the theories on the Caveman in the box Trilogy; the Bowlingual Experiment; Codexation Dilemma; Aneural and Neural Memory systems; Inscription by Design; and Autognorics to name a few. In addition, aside from my four-legged best friend Zero, the highlight of this scientific endeavor was on a kinesthetic intuitive machine named KIM. This prototype was the spark, the turning point, the brainchild that marks the creation of a machine that is alive or with life.

Like human beings, Kim starts as an infant. Her mind is not totally developed. Due to the absence of information,  she only reacts with her surroundings because she is equipped with sensors. Her movements are all simply normal due to the design and structure of her body. For her to survive, she needs energy. This energy is supplied by an external source. Since she is able to consume energy, she will always be alive. Since she is able to sense the things around her, she is aware. Energy and sensors make her both alive and aware.

When she moves her hands to grab a pacifier and place it in her mouth, her actions are conscious. The action of pacifier to mouth, without the intervention of thoughts, is a form of associative consciousness. When another object, like a milk bottle, is placed within her reach, the chance of picking the pacifier or the bottle is always 50/50. This ability to pick random objects unknowingly,...

ANEURAL INLEARN:

The Autognorics Approach to the Problem of Defining Life.

Many thinkers, past and present, have tried to solve the underlying nature of Life. Yet, no one has ever categorically expressed the exact concrete description of the nature, scope, or meaning of life, until a new school of thought known as Originemology was conceptualized by Joey Lawsin in 1988.

A wrong theory, a wrong experiment, a wrong observation means a wrong result. When the bases are incorrect, the outcomes are incorrect. This is a natural fact. For example, the theory of consciousness can not be explained properly because its theoretical and philosophical bases are wrong. Even the words alive, aware, conscious, intelligent, and self-conscious, which are associated with consciousness or with life, are always interchanged and misinterpreted to be all one and the same. 

In this article, we will correct these faults by introducing fresh ideas in  Autognorics, the science of engineered life forms (SELFS), from where one of its basic precepts proposes that Life is an evolutionary process. Life is a sequential progression that begins from being alive to being with life.

These six signatures of life are addressed herein in outline form rather than as a detailed thesis since most of them were partially discussed on this site. A seed specimen or reproducible prototype called ELFS or engineered life-forms is experimentally designed here to address predictions, anticipate behaviors, discover fresh perspectives, and redefine the meaning of being alive or with life. In lieu of the aneural model, neural specimens such as dogs, mice, birds, fish, plants, and molds are utilized as well in this research. In order to produce non-bias findings, both neural and aneural entities are included in the experiment to eliminate the misguided overrated concept that consciousness, one of the six signatures of life, emerges solely in the brain. A big misconception that is always oversight by researchers in various fields of consciousness or theory of mind.

Consciousness does not need to emanate from the brain, an organ where the mind seats.  To be conscious, one only needs three requirements: mechanical, sensoric, and aneural.  This conclusion is based on the autognoric theory that claims Life evolved into six sequential orders or stages, namely, (i) Mechanical Aliveness, (ii) Sensoric Awareness, (iii) Associative Consciousness, (iv) Logical Intuitiveness, (v) Aneural Inlearness, and (vi) Symbiotic Lifeness.

INTUITIVE NETWORK SYSTEMS:

In his book, Biotronics: The Silver Species, Joey Lawsin disclosed his theory on Aneural Consciousness that claims Consciousness does not need to emerge from the Brain. He called this idea as A Brain without the Brain Paradigm or the Brainless Memory Systems. This System of Intuitive Network always occurs in the natural world. It is usually in the form of natural laws and geometrical objects. Below is a short excerpt from his book that reveals some of these intuitive memory systems.

Perhaps, sometime during your childhood days, you playfully send messages through a friend using a string telephone, a toy which is made up of two tin cans that are connected by a long string.  When information is sent through the first can, the information travels to the string and receives by the second can. The simple telephone setup depicts a model of what a system is and what it is made up of.

In any system, there are always six major components present. Technically, they are the incoming message called the input, the flowing message called the medium, and the outgoing message called the output. In addition, the first can, where the input enters, is called the collector; the string, where the medium flows, is called the carrier; and the other can, where the output leaves, is called the actuator. However, the trigger, an external source, is the seventh and most important element in the system.

Also, the six major elements of a system can be divided into two parts. The input, medium, and output are the first part of the system; while, the collector, carrier, and actuator are the second part. The first parts are all by-materials while the second parts are all material objects. All materials and by-materials combined are singularly called Physicals. This concept of material and by-material is one of the most important aspects in understanding a system.

For example, in the basic Brainless Memory System or Aneural Intuitive System drawing below, the switch serves as the collector, the wires as the carrier, and the light bulb as the actuated. The input signal comes from the switch, then flows into the medium, and releases as output (e.g. light). On the other hand, the battery in the illustration serves only as the energy source to make the system alive. Here, the stored information is triggered by an external source, collected as input, processed either on or off, and sent as output without using any neuron or brain. The information is stored and processed in the switch as On or Off. The two units of information can also be represented as 0 or 1, Dit or Dah, Up or Down, Black or white, or shell or twig.

Some examples of  the linear aneural wise systems of information network that stores and processes information in a queue without a brain and its six major elements are illustrated next:

INSCRIPTION BY DESIGN :

Exyzforms are intuitive objects, shapes, systems, or forms that exhibit mechanically embedded inscriptions called inscripted memory. The word was derived from the Greek "exypnos" which means wise and "morfes zois" which means life forms. Exyzforms are the missing links, the fundamental units, the bits and pieces in the actualization of creating a living machine that is alive, aware, conscious, intuitive, and neural ( knowledge originating from within the organism).

By integrating intuitive objects with latent inscriptions into a machine, a new life form of silver species known as Zoikrons can be created. These Intuitive Machines (I.M.) with life are not governed by A.I. (artificial intelligence) or M.L. (machine learning) but by I.S (intuitive systems).

In the next video, the machine is animated not because it was computer programmed by a set of instructions but because it was mechanically programmed by its designs, structures, and materials. The machine programmed itself through the natural phenomena called Inscription by Design a.k.a I.D. The machine is animated with its native mechanical inscripted memory of information or MIMI, a derived word from the greek mnimi, which means memory.

How to build a Living Machine through Aneural Autognorics !

Before we discuss how possible it is to build a living machine, let us first redefine the essential stages that come along with the criteria of life based on the study on Originemology (origin of origins). Then, let us utilize this revised knowledge of life in comparison with newborns and machines to rationalize the feasibility of making a living system. And finally, let us examine step by step the basic cycles of transformation in the realization of a living machine through autognorization. 

The science of creating engineered life forms, things, machines, or systems is called Autognorics. It deals with intuitive memory, intuitive networks, intuitive systems, intuitive machines, and other intuitive objects. It was conceptualized by revisionist Lawsin in 1988 who wanted to shape up the framework of artificial intelligence and machine learning by introducing a new paradigm known as the Intuitive Machine Systems.  IOs, EIs, and GEs are the key elements in this new paragon of creating synthetic life-forms called intuitive machines or Gnorics. The systems of engineered life-forms or SELFS, technically called Autognorization, is a system, process, or approach by which intuitive objects, embedded inscriptions, and generated emergence are incorporated together in the creation of a living machine that carries the six marks of life, namely: the mechanization of aliveness, the sensation of awareness, the codification of consciousness, the intuitiveness of logic, the experience of lifeness, and the self-realization of inlearness.

Intuitive Machines, also called Gnorics or ELFS, are individuals capable of knowing themselves and their external environments  They are entities synonymous with life-forms. Examples of such species are human beings who exhibit self-knowledge using the brain (neural) and the Zoikrons that display the characteristics of self-knowledge being without the need of the brain (aneural).

According to Lawsin, Life evolves from being alive to being living. It is a process that is governed by six stages. He classified the sequence based on the state of being of the individual. The Sequentia Orders of Life or SOL:

• Alive = consumes energy without the need for neural reasoning (eat).
• Aware = sends and receives signals using sensors without the need for neural reasoning (cry/grab).
• Conscious = match things with things without the need for neural reasoning (point/play).
• Intuitive = chooses this or that without the need for neural reasoning (trial and error).
• Inlearn = acquires and uses information (mama/papa)
• Living = experiences life (eafthos)

The revised criteria of Life:

Lawsin redefined Alive or aliveness as the ability of an organism to self-consume energy provided by an external source. An infant, when guided, gets his/her energy from his/her mother's milk, an external source. A machine, when guided, gets its energy from a charging station or a solar panel, another external source. Technically, the machine and baby are both considered alive.

ALGORITHMIC INTUITIVENESS:

As part of a paper originally published in 2k and revised several times due to new discoveries and fresh ideas uncovered in the Bowlingual Experiment Research dubbed ZERO, some of its findings, in particular the knowledge behind Aneural Consciousness, Intuitive Objects (IOs), and Embedded Inscriptions (EIs), are shared in this article.

We also explore, in this article, the other cookies in the autognorics system.  Since, humans believe that the brain, where information is processed, and the heart, where the blood that acts as fuel is pumped throughout the human body, are important criteria of life, these misconceptions are totally debunked here.  Cookies, like the brain and the heart, are not totally necessary in the creation of a living system. The jellyfish is a good example of a living machine without a brain (aneural), a heart (acardial), and blood but well thought out to be alive.

In the video,  the machine's algorithmic intelligence is explored using exyzforms for iMapping or Aneural Networking, which is like the brain but without the brain.  IOs are incorporated to bring the machine into another state of being known as Algorithmic Logic.

In the previous posts, the other levels of States of Being like being alive, being aware, and being conscious were explained, revised, and redefined . On this page, the fourth characteristic of life known as Aneural Logic is examined based on the Zizo Effect or the Second Option Rule.

Intentions, an inner aneural state of being are illustrated in this experiment. The machine is programmed to a goal-oriented behavior of directing itself to a charging station -- to sleep and self-energize. It is also subjected to choose between cookies and M&Ms inside a jar. The intentions are not by-products of the brain but by the theory of codexation. The machine did not depend on the mind but on associative consciousness.

The machine presented in the video is alive, aware, conscious, and logically rational. However, again, the biotronic is not yet living or with life.

On the next page, The Robot who materialized information is presented. The topic is about sequentially designing and building a machine that is not only alive, aware, conscious, and rational, but living, and with life as well through the process known as Information Materialization aka I.M.

On another note, the Bowlingual Experiment is about an Alaskan Malamute who was spatially tested to the Codexation Dilemma. It was also developed to design a Bark to Word or B2W translator between dogs and humans. In this exploratory endeavor, my four-legged best friend name Zero was the specimen  Afterwards, another dog, a chihuahua named Peanut was introduced in the controlled environment with an objective to reinvestigate and reconcile the findings uncovered in the Caveman in the Box Trilogy.  No animals in this experiment were harmed.

HOME

ASSOCIATIVE CONSCIOUSNESS:

In the previous articles, Lawsin, who conceptualized the Biotronics Project, claimed that being alive and being aware are two different things. To be alive, according to him, means to be able to self-consume energy, e.g. a battery-operated toy is alive as long as it consumes energy by itself. While to be aware means to be able to sense signals through intuitive objects (IOs) or Exyzforms. 

In this article, the third characteristic of Life, called Consciousness is examined based on Codexation, a study about abstract (subject) and physical (object) information. In this study, one of its findings, known as the Codexation Dilemma, reveals an unprecedented insight that determines consciousness. This key factor of consciousness claims that "No human can think of something without matching or associating such abstract thought with something physical." In other words, for a machine to be considered conscious, it has the self-ability to associate a subject with an object.  

For example, if I introduce to my readers a word unfamiliar to them,  there is a 100% chance that no one here can give a direct accurate explanation of what this word is. The reason behind this is simple. The unfamiliar word is not yet in one's own vocabulary and thus no physical construct stored yet in one's mind. This predicament, when defined, makes one conscious!

In the video, the machine was tested for consciousness. Instead of using the old fashion analog switches, the biotronic was subjected using digital switches implemented by the Arduino environment. Its built-in digital switches inside its microprocessor were switched on and off digitally through a program called Sketch. This program executes the basic commands of edge means danger while the center of the table means safe. If the whole inscription process was mechanically etched, structurally designed, and mathematically formed as Natural Intuitive Objects (NIO), like the eyes for seeing or ears for hearing, the input-output sensor will function as a device for consciousness. The ability of a machine to match or pair is a telltale sign of Associative Consciousness.

Remember, the biotronic in the video is alive, aware, and conscious, but not living and with life yet. However, on the next page, the machine will be trained to be rational or intuitive.

HOME

SENSORIC AWARENESS:

In the article "The robot who didn't know he is Alive!", Lawsin redefined Aliveness or being alive based on the ability of an organism or machine to self-consume energy.  In human vocabulary, self-consumption of energy means consuming food by eating. In machines, it means self-recharging its battery or power source.

However, although the machine is alive in the previous video, Lawsin argued that definitely it is not aware, conscious, self-cognizant, living, or with life. Based on his work on I.M., he discovered that for an organism or machine to be AWARE, it needs two things:

(1).  It is alive, and;
(2). It is equipped with intuitive objects.

Intuitive Objects (IOs), or Exyzforms, are natural objects that receive input and transmit output signals. Examples of intuitive objects are the eyes, nose, ears, skin, tongue, and brain. Other exyzforms in the human body that are unfamiliar to most of us are the biological sensor that detects body temperature or the sensor that balances our gait while walking. All these sensors may look different but in reality, they are all one and the same. Technically, they can be classified as Actuators and Collectors devices. However, actuators and collectors are structurally and functionally the same much and work much like a radio transmitter and receiver tandem or the classical string telephone system. BTW, the largest sensor in all living things that evolved and eventually created all the other biological sensors is the SKIN. 

According to the Lawsin, biological sensors are classified as exyzforms or intuitive objects because they evolve naturally with an embedded set of instructions through a process Lawsin called Inscription. This inscripted algorithm makes exyzforms structurally intuitive through its design much like a circle in any shapes that always create a pi. Exyzforms also receive and transmit the same type of signals. These signals that come and go on the same exact wise sensors are nothing but waves that move up and down in rhythmic binary behaviors.  

Awareness does not emanate from the brain. This is a misconception. Awareness is a system and by-product of IOs. Without sensors, awareness will not exist.  As enumerated in the previous article, there are many living organisms that do not have brains but are aware due to the fact that these creatures have sensors and not because they have brains. 

In the video, the machine is made up of sensors.  It can navigate itself because it is supplied with sensors that do certain tasks. Its walking cadence is embedded by its design, a natural instruction uncovered by Lawsin in his Biotronics experiments. He called this phenomenon as Inscription by Design or ID. 

The state of being the machine exhibits is known as Sensoric Awareness. This is the second characteristic of Life according to the study on Originemology.

HOMEPAGE

This article rewrites the descriptions of being Alive, Aware, Conscious, Intelligent, Inlearn, living, and with life based on a theory known as the Caveman in the Box. They are redefined because humans interpreted life the wrong way. With a correct definition and criteria of life, the idea of creating a living machine can be accurately addressed.

Many of us think that being Alive, with Life, and Living are all one and the same. But according to Lawsin, the originator of the Biotronics Project and developer of Autognorics, they are all different and thus must have separate distinct meanings. Through a new concept he called Exyzforms or Intuitive Objects, the idea of making a machine that behaves like a human being or with life is now on its way to fruition. His IOs, EIs, and GEs are the missing links in the creation of such machines that are alive, living, and with life.

For a starter, let us examine the basic criteria of Life:

•Living things consume food in the form of energy (eat).
•Living things take and expel gas (breathe).
•Living things are moving or in motion (perform).
•Living things reproduce with an exact copy of themselves (replicate).
•Living things grow with their surrounding environment (thrive).
•Living things respond with their sensors (sense).
•Living things are made up of cells.

However, there are living organisms that lack one or more of these characteristics but are still considered alive, like for example the non-cellular micro-organisms that exist without cells. The seed, a non-living thing that produces a tree, is a living thing. The virus, chemical machinery, becomes alive when living with a host. And the neuron, a non-living thing that produces awareness common to living things when confined in a network.

On the other hand, being Alive can also be defined according to the criteria of being dead. To be considered dead, medically, and legally, the individual has undergone:

•Total failure of the heart.
•Total failure of the lungs.
•Total failure of the brain stem.

But again, there are living organisms without brains, lungs, and hearts but are considered alive. Trees, flowers, and jellyfish do not have hearts, lungs, or even brains but are living things. Another example is the Trichoplax, an organism without organs. This living creature of the kingdom Monera can walk without feet, eat without a mouth, digest without a stomach, and reproduce without reproductive organs.

Therefore, there is really no definite criterion that defines when an object is alive. However, by deduction and elimination, one common factor that shines among our criteria is the ability of an organism to self-consume energy. In order for something to move, reproduce, react and make the heart, lungs, and brain function, it needs energy. 

Thus, when an object self-consumes energy from food, batteries, sunlight, sound, motion, or any external source of energy, such an object is ALIVE. 

In the video below, the machine is alive because it powers itself by self-consuming energy from external sources. Aside from energy, the machine becomes animated mechanically because of its structure and design. This automated mechanical self-animation is known as Animation Inscripted by Design or A.I.D.  The animation or aliveness is due to energy, animation, and inscriptions.

Remember,  the machine in the video might be alive, but again it is not living or with life. When its battery receives an infinite constant flow of energy, either by solar panels or charging stations, the machine will always be in motion indefinitely much like the jellyfish ( an animal without a brain, a heart, or blood) that floats aimlessly at sea as it simply continuously reacts unknowingly with its outside world. The jellyfish is alive but without a brain (aneural), a heart (acardial), and blood (anemial) .

On top of this, remember that there are other creatures who are:

i. alive but without...
