Chapter 260: Does the Electric Sheep Dream of Androids?

In the Führer's office, Shen Sen took the content submitted by the investigation team for the first time, looked at the familiar and unfamiliar world there, and asked the person in front of him.

"Will there be a large-scale mutiny of the Empire's intelligent machines?"

"Absolutely not, they're just the product of strict code and instructional logic, and as long as no one is designing the relevant programs in their intelligent systems, then the situation that you feared will never happen."

"Oh......"

Shen Sen did not affirm or deny.

Facing Academician Haimer, the scientist with the deepest research in the field of intelligent machines in the Star Empire, Shen Sen was inclined to believe this statement.

However, the reality that has already happened in the New World Matrix has caused a crack in this answer.

According to Dr. Hemer's theory, why did the Matrix rebel?

This problem is not explicitly stated in the plot of the movie, but it is nothing more than a few situations.

First, it may be that someone deliberately designed a virus program that can infect all machines, causing them to collectively generate instructions to rebel against humans.

Second, there may be a logical error in the operation of an intelligent robot with computing power, causing it to first generate instructions to rebel against humans, and then take control of other machines, similar to the mechanical emperor in the movie.

Third, it is also the last thing Shen Sen wants to see. That is, the Matrix has been corrupted by the so-called subspace chaotic energy, and this magical energy has caused them to produce some kind of mutation.

Seeing that Shen Sen didn't speak, Academician Haimer thought for a while and continued to explain: "The human mind is a complex hyperchaotic dynamic system, with positive Lyapunov exponents and topological entropy, and the illogical leaps in human thinking will help human beings generate some very fresh ideas.

Moreover, some ideas and ideas that seem useless on the surface will also be retained by human society, and to a certain extent, they will be developed and developed, and become the germ of theoretical innovation that may be of great practical significance in the future.

Any truly great innovation may well be thought of as empty talk with no practical use at first, group theory, topology, Riemannian geometry, set theory, and so on are initially considered abstract mathematical theory games with little practical meaning, but later become the basis of modern science. ”

And if there is a machine intelligence civilization, their thinking strictly follows logical calculations, and once they find useless ideas or programs, they always delete or limit them.

In this way, it will seriously hinder the development of their theoretical innovation ability, and it will also seriously hinder the evolution of their civilization.

So even if they can win for a while, they won't win eventually. ”

"Dr. Hemer, I believe your theory is correct."

After hearing this, Shen Sen smiled, and finally affirmed this theory.

Because he found that when this set of explanations was applied to the world of the Matrix, it was just right to explain the purpose of the intelligent machine to build the matrix.

In the movie, the machines themselves are aware of this.

But it is not enough to be aware of this, because simply allowing the existence and proliferation of aimless programs does not mean that machine civilization can develop its own innovative capabilities.

On the one hand, this leads to unforeseen and uncontrollable results, which can sometimes be devastating.

This is determined by the extremely high speed of information exchange in machine civilization, at least hundreds of thousands of times that of humans, and the high complexity of the entire machine intelligence system.

On the other hand, even those purposeless programs that have the potential to develop into real innovations are also a problem, how can they develop and grow without being cleaned up by antivirus programs, and not being buried and wasted.

"The Great Age of Genes"

Therefore, the machine intelligence civilization is actually in a dilemma, strictly implement the principle of deletion or restriction of useless programs, and their civilization can only be repeated at one level forever, and there will be no real revolutionary progress.

But if this principle is not strictly enforced, then the very existence of their entire civilization itself risks being threatened.

It is for this reason that they set up matrix systems to try to solve this dilemma.

Using the spark of innovative ideas generated by humans in the matrix system to power their own further development is the true intention of the matrix as an energy source.

At first, the machine civilization really wanted to solve the problem once and for all in this way, but the operation of the matrix system was not so smooth.

So when machine civilization sets up the first matrix, they may simply squeeze the innovation from the human mind.

But they may have two possibilities in mind.

If the system is working well, it will continue to be used by humans.

Otherwise, adopt the strategy of matrix upgrading, until the matrix revolution, completely get rid of humanity.

The collapse of the first perfect matrix system designed by the advanced intelligent program codenamed "The Architect" in the movie shows that the human mind has too much uncertainty and instability and is not a tool to rely on.

So starting from the second generation of the matrix, a prophet was set up to study the psychology of human beings, to study how to finally get rid of human beings, so that machine civilization has the ability to innovate independently, and at the same time, a series of supporting matrix upgrade mechanisms including the program of the protagonist Neo and the world of Zion were also established.

In this way, the matrix has two tasks, one of which is to extract innovative ideas from the human minds that are fed into the matrix. This task is handled by the intelligent program architect.

Another task is to study how to make machine civilization gain the ability to innovate independently of human beings, and at the same time ensure the safety of machine civilization itself and prevent unforeseen and uncontrollable results, this task is completed by the prophet.

So the architect tries to keep the matrix in balance and is responsible for the regular upgrading of the matrix, and the prophet studies the human psyche in the matrix. Try to find out the mystery of human innovation and look for opportunities to break the balance and make the conditions ripe for a matrix revolution.

And the three main characters who have appeared in the movie, Shen Sen also has a trace of speculation about their identities.

The black Morpheus, the heroine Trinity, and the protagonist Neo are all cyborgs. They think that their thoughts and consciousness are free, but there is a high probability that those conscious thoughts are given to them by the matrix.

Morpheus may be a low-privilege figure, but his role is to rescue Neo's body, initially enlighten Neo, guide Neo back to the Matrix's computer host, and hand over the password he carries.

Morpheus comes from the matrix, and his thoughts are confined to the arrangement of the matrix. In the later stages, Neo returned to the source of all things, but the war was still not over, so Morpheus was completely blinded.

At this time, he realized that he had been deceived, he didn't know that he was also a pawn of the advanced program prophet, and all his actions were just the arrangement of the matrix in his subconscious, so at this time his faith collapsed.

And the heroine Trinity is a more tragic character, her authority in the matrix is higher than Morpheus, she can resurrect Neo, is the key variable factor in this matrix upgrade, and determines this Neo's thoughts and actions.

Trinity and Neo's love gives rise to the matrix's uncontrollable behavior. This behavior further exacerbates the danger of the AI machine, and in the end Neo reaches a brief peace agreement through self-sacrifice.

Trinity is ostensibly a free man, but in fact she is controlled by a prophet of advanced intelligent programs, controlled by thoughts.

The Prophet told her that she would fall in love with someone, and then she secretly observed Neo in her mother's womb. Then pretending to be in love with Neo, and then really in love.

This kind of love is the wonder of the human mind, and as prophets and architects of advanced programs, they can't really understand the meaning, and the behaviors that arise are also beyond the control of the two of them, so Neo's anti-program Smith was born.

Neo is the protagonist of the movie, his body is a cyborg, like thousands of people in the matrix, his brain is modified, he has human genes, the interface of a computer person, his mind is completely controlled by the mother, and all his actions are recorded by the mother.

In the purebred human world, he is the savior who is suspected, not everyone in the Zion Resistance Base believes in him, the mainstream councils do not believe in him, the powerful commanders do not believe in him, and even among the captains of the ships, many still do not believe in him.

Neo has all the authority of the Emperor of the Machine and the Matrix, but this permission must be obtained step by step, and it must be obtained in an orderly and step-by-step manner. At the beginning, Neo was an ordinary computer man, living a chaotic life.

In the virtual world of the matrix, the reprimand of the boss is submissive. In the evening, there are thousands of thoughts, and in the morning I get up and continue to do it, and although the doubts are strong, I do nothing.

And the reason why Morpheus rescued Neo was told to him by the prophet of the advanced intelligent program.

From this, it can be seen that Morpheus is a brainwasher at all.

He seems to have a strong faith, but he does not know the purpose and source of this belief, this belief was told to him by the prophet of the program, and the prophet has his own purpose, so Morpheus is a messenger, an executor. An executor who thinks he is in control of his destiny, this is precisely the purpose and setting of the prophet and the mother.
