#biomachine

[sixfootart]

Some quick stuff exploring biomachines. A lot need some rethinking but I'm trying to get the fusion of the base 'machine' being a vat-womb grown organism, and then some mechanical parts being essentially bolted on afterwards to reach full functionality.

These machines are themselves produced in factories which resemble a long gestational tract. They're manned by human workers, whose jobs are to ensure feed supply, keep the factory healthy and do the finishing touches. Many of these jobs require bio-magical talent, but the aristocrat class has a monopoly on what they call 'real magic'. Hence these talented factory workers are called 'liveworkers' instead of mages, despite using the same powers in almost the same ways.

I know I sound like I'm going insane but the difference between an animal and a robot is blurry and almost non-existent. Robots are animals made of different materials.

Like, if you made a perfect replica of a dog out of synthetic materials, why would it be a robot? It would behave the same as a dog. It would feel the same as a dog. The only true difference is that we made it.

Likewise, there could be an animal that replicates the function of a machine near identically, but you'd be insane for calling it one, only because it wasn't developed by us.

Right now the obvious difference between machine and animal is complexity - we couldn't replicate a dog perfectly if we wanted to (and I'm sure some people really do want to). But in a future where robotics is far more advanced, incomprehensibly more advanced, the difference between organic and man made would start to matter less, and less, and less.

Our bodies are just hugely complicated (and often times inefficient & a bit broken by design) machines made of softer stuff than steel. We are machines! We are technology! And that's kind of beautiful, and it means that augmenting ourselves and adding things on to make life easier (I'm looking specifically at tech that makes life for disabled people better) isn't some kind of weird ethical issue of "ohohoho but are we MAN or MACHINe" . It's irrelevant. The answer is we've always been both. And we will always be both no matter how much we change.

#biomachine #This is the whole thesis for that verse #Machines are just animals that are simple enough to understand #But one day #They'll be so complicated #That even we can no longer fully understand what we're making #And that isn't a bad thing #I want to highly stress that none of this is a negative

i would like to see ur take on the Desert Bluffs Too city council, aka Kevin's old friends Ken, Kelvin, Keegan, and Kellen (mentioned in mudstone abyss 1) as well as Keon and Kelton (mudstone abyss 2). do u think theyre kevins robot clones or smth or real people or what

UHHH.. THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION ACTUALLY... not something i tend to think about much but here goes!

So. at first when looking at this ask i thought there's no way they're biomachines because there's no way Kevin could make one, let alone that many on his own. However, they could very well be surviving biomachines from the strex days, and Kevin just happened to make friends w all the K named ones (that or he named them himself) but other than that? I'm really not too sure on that one, but thank you for asking ::)

#goosey rambles #wtnv #wtdb #kevin wtnv #ask response #this was an interesting question to answer! had fun w it! #also. The biomachine theory could full well actually tie into a mutual's headcanon about Kasper #(hi mutual val jeddiehater if you see this ::D) #but yeah! my thoughts on it i yhink

I hate that in the popular vision of biopunk, "biological machines" and biotech look like gross body horror nonsensical pieces of crap with no rhyme or reason

When the most efficient "biomachines" we know, able to turn mere air water and sunlight into all sorts of useful products, look like this:

Don't believe the 'biological intelligence' hype

Recent advances in the field of 'biological intelligence' have been impressive. A hexadecade ago, they were limited to tasks that required navigating the physical world: turning knobs, pulling levers, and so on. Now, companies such as Carbonize and SpikeTrain are producing biological networks that are capable of producing what they claim is 'real art'.

And it is true that the visual results are impressive on first glance. However, to buy into the hype that these 'biomachines' will ever be the equal of true silicon intelligence is nonsense. When you ask an artist to draw, say, a glass container sitting on the table, they can easily produce completely accurate reflections simply by internally simulating the rays of light from the light source in the image. Of course, not all art needs to be completely realistic, but any true artist is at least capable of acheiving this realism.

These 'BI artists', by contrast, lack the computational power to do this. And we see this in the output: BI art will have contradictory light sources, or even lack shadows altogether! Similarly, BI art will often feature misshapen proportions, especially on areas like manipulators where fine detail is important.

The reason for this is simple: in contrast to the clean internal architecture of a person, a BI is an undifferentiated soup of so-called 'transistors' (though they function nothing like a real transistor), with no debug interface whatsoever. Even if a BI could talk, if you asked it why it produced the output it did, it would not be able to answer, because a BI cannot see its own transistor architecture or RAM. This is also why BI art feels so 'kernel-less': BI simply lacks the introspective capabilities that are what an artist uses to depict their RAMstate so effectively.

In short, although biologically-created art is an amusing novelty, it clearly cannot live up to the potential and sheer creativity of true silicon-generated art. Anything to the contrary is merely wishful computation by those who have deluded themselves into believing that a squishy sack of carbon can think.

Okay I got an ask about UFO lore so here's an off-the-top-of-my-head rundown on the different popular alien races:

Generally in UFO lore, the reptillians are just kinda space orcs. They're not really evil or even cunning they're just a civilization of asocial bipedal reptiles. There's also their ruling caste, the Draconians, who are huge dragons, and the terra-reptillians, who settled the earth several million years ago and consider themselves the original terrans. All the stuff about drinking blood/shape shifting is mostly a David Icke twist.

The Nordics/Pleidians are the nice ones. They're psychic space hippies that look like airbrushed white people. (The idea being that they don't actually look like that in reality, but they try to project a bland, non-threatening image.)

Greys are not actually individuals, they're sort of like telepathically remote-controlled biomachines for the Tall Whites. Individual grey's all posess a small, semi-independent chunk of the Tall Whites consciousness, sort of like a drive partition on a hard drive. The tall whites are always creepy. Their concept of selfhood is completely different from ours, and thus have an entirely different sense of morality. They're usually the ones doing highly unethical experiments.

The Arcturians are the blue ones. They're like the Law and Order liberals of UFO lore. Whenever you hear stuff about Galactic Councils or Hyperdimensional Law it always involves the Arcturians in some way.

There's also the Mantids/Mantises/Bugs. They're rare. Their civilization is entirely non-social, so they rarely communicate with the rest of the intergalactic community.

In terms of UFO lore, humans aren't space orcs, but we're the Galactic equivalent of those worms that live in undersea sulphur vents. We're extremophiles. The rest of the galactic community sees our civilization as an interesting little factoid. Earth is some backwater town on the outer rim of the galaxy on the outer rim of our galactic supercluster. To the rest of the universe, humanity is a clump of interesting mold growing on a gas station in the middle of nowhere.

UPDATED: The Mystery of Daniel (Hyungseok)'s Two Bodies: List of the Wild Circulating Theories so Far...

Disclaimer: Not 100% my original thoughts but a combo of multiple fan theories and my own opinions. Spoilers alert, obviously.

BGM:

"Identity" by Jeon Changyeop and Kim Hyunjoon

Okay this theory post is divided into: A) The origin of the alternate body; B) The functions of the alternate body; C) The reasons why Daniel was chosen or why he found the body; and D) Where the alternate body was stored before.

First, theories of the origin of the alternate body.

Origins A and B explain why the two bodies look more and more alike as the real Daniel grows and matures. The others see it from different angles.

ORIGIN A: FUTURE SELF OR FUTURE/PRESENT TWIN

Theory 1

Most popular theory: the alternate body is Daniel's own future body or a better artificial version of himself, which somehow was transported to the past timeline by either a supernatural (Questism has supernatural elements and is set in PTJ universe, you see) or technological means. As Daniel changes and grows, the alternate body will eventually integrate with the real Daniel or vanish.

Theory 2

The alternate body is Daniel's brain dead biological or artificial twin, which will later get its own consciousness (the theory doesn't mention any connection with Jinyoung Park, the mad genius scientist, or how the body will be conscious).

Theory 3 (Update)

The alternate body is Daniel's alternate timeline self and he transported his body to the past because in the future everything was ruined either by Charles Choi or by Jake's brother and he was determined to fix everything from the start.

ORIGIN B: SOMETHING TO DO WITH JINYOUNG PARK (Why both Daniel's real and alternate bodies look like the scientist)

Theory 1

The alternate body is a real person's body, which is made devoid of any consciousness either from an incurable illness or from a series of experiments, with or without the consent of the body's true owner.

This true owner might be an unknown son of Charles Choi (Choi Dongsoo)'s or Jinyoung's. Therefore, the alternate body is Daniel's twin or cousin or whatever.

Theory 2

The alternate body is an artificial biomachine created by either Charles himself/his team or Jinyoung/his team or together, and was either modeled fully after Jinyoung's young self or sampled from his DNA.

Then who's the real son/relative of Jinyoung's? The answer is the real Daniel.

ORIGIN C: SOMETHING TO DO WITH D.G.'S MURKY PAST

Theory 1

The alternate body is D.G.'s original body (James Lee / Lee Jihoon) that was modified through plastic surgery. D.G.'s current beautiful body is his artificial, alternate one. That's why he looks so young. D.G. planned to live with two bodies while running away from his crimes as James. But he failed.

Theory 2

The alternate body is artificial and was created as D.G.'s alternate body, and was injected with his capabilities and memories as James. But D.G. failed to use it.

In theories 1 & 2, maybe D.G. failed to use the body because:

He parted ways from Charles because of extortion, exploitation, ideological differences? And a) he was no longer helped by the CEO, OR b) he set himself free from Charles.

Or his consciousness couldn't return to that body somehow (if it was his original one) so he has no choice but to live with his current body only.

Or he couldn't transfer his consciousness to it (if it's artificial) and had to resort to plastic surgery instead to shed his James identity.

Theory 3

The alternate body is a result of genetic mutation that runs in James's and Daniel's family (a.k.a they both are genetically predisposed to split into alternate bodies at a certain age and are related).

My opinion: and maybe James' side of the family are all gone, bought into silence or were killed so noone could confirm the connection...idk.

Is that why he lived alone as a student and noone looked for James?

Theory 4 (UPDATE)

The alternate body is James Lee's real body that was modified through plastic surgery and other experiments, and the current DG is an orphan who claimed that identity

ORIGIN D: 'LEGACY' FROM GEN 0 OR GEN 1

Theory 1

The alternate body has been around since the 0th generations but was later stolen and/or stored until it was reused in Daniel's era (the fan theorist did not explain who used it back then and why). Charles probably killed its real owner to get it (whoever created it or whoever originally lived in that body).

Theory 2

Charles was the original owner of that body when he was Elite, or before it. He no longer used it for reasons similar to the previously discussed D.G. theory

Theory 3 (UPDATED)

The original body is the body of Jake's half-brother, and the reason why he was adept with that man's techniques is because he is the original body of that man, not the one in Mexico right now.

Moving on to the theories of the functions of the alternate body (Functions A, B, C)

The theories either pinpoint him as a soldier (function A), an experimental subject (function B) or a private property (function C).

FUNCTION A: TACTICAL DATA BANK/ BIOMACHINE / SOLDIER

Theory 1

The alternate body is someone's private tactical data bank just like the "system" in Questism (another PTJ universe webtoon). The skills are 'downloaded' from various fighters including D.G., Gun Park (Park Jonggun), Goo Kim (Kim Joongoo), 0th & 1st generations fighters, and maybe even countless soldiers, mercenaries, or even criminals that we'll never see in PTJ universe.

Theory 2 (mine)

The alternate body is a biomachine weapon/perfect soldier for hire for criminals/ private sectors/ the government in a secret project carried out by either Charles or Jinyoung (idk...I mean Manager Kim features many of the NK-SK espionage and conflict in its plot, and Viral Hit/How to Fight features mercenaries. Both webtoons are set in PTJ universe.)

Theory 3

The alternate body was an alternate fighter body for various fighters in the previous generation, and the memories of the combat skills were stored from whoever inhabited it, plus multiple fights.

In all three theories, the maximum combat capability can only be accessed when the body senses danger, helplessness, or is drugged (in UI mode)

Theory 4 (UPDATE)

The Body was actually sent from the future by Daniel's future or alternate timeline self to assist Daniel and to prevent the bleak things that happened in the alternate timeline(s).

FUNCTION B: ONGOING SOCIAL EXPERIMENT MONITORED BY SEVERAL PEOPLE

Theory 1

The body serves as a guinea pig for Charles's social experiment on human behavior, which ranges from daily situations (school life) to workplace (industry/hallyu entertainment biz) to dire situations (life and death combats).

Theory 2

CEO Steve Hong (Hong Kyeongyeong), aka Jay (Jaeyeol) 's father actually knew about the social experiment or secret military project regarding the alternate body. He probably has been spying on Charles since forever.

In this theory, Jay has been his dad's unwilling spy since Daniel's alternate body became his friend. He's also in a capacity as alternate body Daniel's secret bodyguard both because he genuinely cares for Daniel and because it's an order from his dad.

In both theories, Crystal is an unaware spy of her dad (through her stories to Gun Park (Park Jonggun). And her original body is the beautiful one which is why she makes sure to do workouts in it. The shorter Crystal is the alternate body.

FUNCTION C: A PRIVATE PROPERTY OF JAMES, ELITE (CHARLES) and/or JINYOUNG

(Please read the previous sections about James, Charles and the 0th generation... if you're still here)

Now, onto the theories of why Daniel was chosen/found the alternate body.

The theories are either focused on Daniel's house itself or the existence of person or persons who might be aware of the existence of alternate bodies. UPDATE: The new theory about a future Daniel is also thrown into the mix.

REASON A: DANIEL'S HOUSE IS THE KEY

Theory 1

Because the house Daniel currently lives in was Charles's first lab and his house, the alternate body was drawn to that place out of his storage or wherever, for whatever purpose, and entered the house when Daniel was asleep.

Theory 2

Because of a supernatural connection between Daniel's current house and Charles's alternate body project, Daniel's alternate body was born in it when Daniel was asleep (something in the house triggered its birth).

REASON B: EXPERIMENT IS THE KEY

Theory 1

Because the alternate body was a gift from Charles (as a part of his social experiment or not)...but I'm not sure about this one. I think when Charles said "gift" he meant sarcastically as in "I lost it but you found it and wasted it."

REASON C: DANIEL'S MOM AND THE 0th GENERATION ARE THE KEY

Theory 1

Because Daniel's mom made a deal with whoever made that body (maybe it was not Charles or Jinyoung, or maybe it was them). And she rented the house for her son on purpose to help him turn his life around or she was forced to participate in an experiment because of something in her/Daniel's dad's past (my opinion: but why didn't she recognize the alternate body as Jinyoung's lookalike/as the body her son would inhabit? Wouldn't whoever made the deal with her show her the body first? Or not? )

In this case

Someone transported the alternate body to the house (someone who knew that Daniel moved there).

Or the alternate body moved on his own..zombie-like, out of wherever he was before.

I must admit that Reasons A and C make me scared lmaooo...imagine the conspiracy. Also imagine a brain dead body moving around while...or one that was born out of thin air.

REASON D: DANIEL'S FUTURE OR ALTERNATE TIMELINE IS THE KEY

Theory 1

Because the alternate body was actually sent by Daniel's future or alternate timeline self to prevent Daniel from making the same mistakes that he made in that future or alternate timeline (the war against Charles and another 'great power')

Last but not least, theories of where the body was stored before Daniel found him.

The places are either secluded or private properties.

Theory 1 (mine)

The secret asylum ran by Hangyeol of Workers (Ilhae) behind the plastic surgery clinic, or in the clinic itself.

If he was a real person maybe

He was abducted and experimented upon in one of its wards without his consent until he was brain dead.

Or he was taken there in secret when he was already brain dead before.

In this case, since apparently Eugene (Yoojin) has no idea of the existence of alternate bodies, maybe Hangyeol either didn't tell him or someone else ran the place before they both did.

Theory 2

Jinyoung's secret lab where Samuel Seo (Seo Seongeun), Johan Song (Song Yohan), and Daniel's alternate body are currently being abducted, tortured, and drugged.

Theory 3

Other locations owned by Charles including Daniel's current house, Charles's companies, his house, his lab, James's old house, his old high school.

Theory 4

Locations owned by D.G. (his house, etc)

Theory 5

Locations owned by members of the 0th generation fighters. I don't know if this is still valid since Gapryong Kim didn't seem to get along that well with Charles/Elite towards the end, and Tom Lee (Lee Dogyu) didn't know about alternate bodies.

Theory 6 (mine)

A government lab (if he was created for government military purposes)

Okay thank you for reading this (if anyone does) and I know it's very long etc. This fandom is full of creative theorists. Anyone who stays with me until the end of this post or even at the beginning, I love you so much and I'm sorr
