Consciousness is a manifestation of the brain s internal processes. The generation of consciousness in Homo sapiens coincides with the evolution and development of neural structures (the brain) in the biological system. A billion years ago the highest form of life on Earth was a worm. Let s consider the ancestral worm for a moment. Does its rudimentary (neural structure) intelligence create a form of rudimentary consciousness If so, then it s akin to an intelligence and consciousness that can be created by artificial neural networks running in today s supercomputers (see Fig. 2.1). In reality, while the processing power of supercomputers approaches that of a worm, this has not yet been accomplished. The reason is that it is too difficult to program a neural network in a supercomputer that would use all the computer s processing power. The worm is unquestionably alive, but is it self-aware Is it simply a cohesive jumble of neurons replaying an ancestral record imprinted within its primordial neural structure, making it no more than a functional biological automaton

Cams may also consist of pins or pegs stuck into a wheel, so long as the cam follower doesn t get stuck on them Figure 7-7 shows a more intricate cam, a cam follower, and the motion of the follower traced out on a graph Multiple cams can be stacked on the same shaft, each one controlling some aspect of a machine The cams don t have to be individual disks, but can be a solid drum or bar of material that has been shaped to act like a series of cams Music boxes use this type of mechanism, a rotating drum with pins on it that pluck the musical tines The only limit to a cam s shape is your imagination Changing the programming on a cam-driven machine requires that you take it apart and replace pieces inside of it.

If more than 127 devices are present on the loop, some will not be able to select an AL_PA and will be forced into nonparticipating mode The basics of loop initialization are as follows: 1 The LIP primitive sequence begins the process An L_Port transmits LIP after it powers on or when it detects loop failure (loss of synchronization at its receiver) The LIP will propagate around the loop, triggering all other L_Ports to transmit LIP as well At this point, the loop is not usable 2 The next major step is to select a loop master that will control the process of AL_PA selection This is done by the L_Ports constantly transmitting LISM frames The process is designed so that if a fabric is present, it will become loop master (by receiving back its own LISM frames); otherwise, the port with the numerically lowest port name will win.

This may not be the most e cient way to change the machine s action More advanced cams let you replace their bumps without taking things entirely apart, but this is still a clumsy way to program a robot..

This raises a few questions: Is intelligence conscious Is consciousness life It seems safe to say that intelligence has to reach a certain level or critical mass before consciousness is achieved. In any case, artificial neural networks can and will develop consciousness. Whether the time span is 10 years or a 1000 years from now makes no difference; 1000 years is less than a blink of the eye in the evolutionary time line. (Of course, I am hoping for a 10-year cycle so I can see a competent AI machine in my lifetime.) At the point where an artificial neural network becomes conscious and self-aware, should we then consider it to be alive
