WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF ANEURAL AUTOGNORICS 👋

Autognorics is the science of creating engineered life forms, machines, or systems that are alive, living, and with life. In short, it is the study of creating a living Intuitive Machine (IM) that can see, smell, taste, hear, speak, feel, think, breed, fly, swim, and die too. It was conceptualized by Engr Joey Lawsin in 1988 who wanted to reshape the framework of artificial intelligence and machine learning by introducing a novel cognitive concept known as The Brein Theory or A Brain without The Brain paradigm shift. In this new paragon, Inscription by Design and Generated Interim Emergence are the essential foundations in the creation of these synthetic life-forms called ELFS. These engineered-life-forms (elfs) are classified as gnorics, homognorics, biognorics, and zoikrons.

SELFS or the System of Engineered Life-forms, technically called Autognorization, is a hierarchical system, process, or approach where binary inherent network systems (BINS), intuitive aneural networks(IAN), intuitive machines(IM), embedded inscriptions(EI), intuitive object(IO)s, generated interim emergence (GENIE), brein, gnomi, gnos, interims, and inscription by design(ID) are incorporated together in the creation of a living machine or system that embodies the seven signatures of life, namely: the mechanization of aliveness, the sensation of awareness, the codification of consciousness, the intuitiveness of logic, the inlearness of information, symbiosis of living, and the emergence of self.

According to Lawsin, Life evolves from being alive to being living. Life is a evolutionary process that is governed by seven stages. These life signatures or sequential orders of Life referred to as the Laws of Seven Inscription are as follows:

Aliveness = is the ability to consume energy without the need for neural reasoning.
Awareness = is the ability to send and receive signals using intuitive sensors without the need for neural reasoning.
Consciousness = is the ability to match things with things without the need for neural reasoning.
Intutiveness = is the ability to choose this or that without the need for neural reasoning.
Inlearness = is the ability to acquire and use information.
Livingness = is the ability to experience to live.
Selfness = is the ability to recognize oneself.

But before we dive deeper on the new seven criteria of life, let us examine first the old 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, a living thing. The virus, chemical machinery, that 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 this video, 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 through energy, animation, and inscriptions.

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 (ahemial) .

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

alive but without brains,
alive but not conscious,
alive but not aware,
aware but not conscious,
aware but no brains,
conscious but not aware, and
conscious but not self-cognizant.

Remember, Life is a process. It evolves from being alive to being living.

In the succeeding articles, the following new ideas in the creation of a Living Machine are deliberated:

⚡ Originemology: The etymology, originator, founded, history, semantics, onomatology, eponym: *eaftos = self *gnosei = knowledge *aftognosia = self-knowledge *zois = life-forms *bins = binary intuitive network storage systems *IAN = intuitve Aneural Memory Network *autognozics = self-knowledge life-forms *ELFS = engineered life-forms systems *Autognorics = the science of creating living machines *(Lawsin,1988)
