Watching "Star Trek the Next Generation" reruns, I have been inspired to add technological terminology to the the language used by the scientist character, Ren.
Ren has invented a revolutionary artificial intelligence program, but more importantly, he has invented a process to use a living human subject to embody his program. The means by which he will use the human brain as a framework for his program is a process involving 'nano-bots' which take over the functions of the brain by attaching directly to the neurons and creating a network within the brain. Ren calls his nano-bots "Augmentrons".
"Augmentrons - Microscopic robotic modules which augment neurological activity by attaching to the synaptic inputs, then forming a network interface, using the human brain as a central processing core."
Ren laments the fact that his colleagues from positions he had at NASA and Stanford didn't understand his process, and didn't accept his ways of achieving his goals. Ren knows his process works, but like any other mad scientist, he wasn't willing and didn't have the patience to wait for the general scientific community to catch up with his revolutionary ideas...
"They said the pattern inducers couldn't capacitate the neurological buffers..."
"...But they didn't account for the resonance frequency of the momentum distributor! It only took a minor adjustment to the resonance field to compensate for the capacitance loss."
Ren knows his process will work. Though others may not understand what he is talking about, he is sure that he has an amazing and revolutionary process that will change the world and the way computers interact with people. Since the people he worked with couldn't embrace his ingenious ideas, Ren decides to move forward in spite of their objections.
"They weren't interested in my conclusions. They wouldn't even consider the biological implications. Decades of research my foot!"
Ren has his own way of doing things. He will change the world, one brain at a time...
"You'll be the first Lam! The world's first Living Artificial Man!"
Soon the world will accommodate his vision and become 'perfect', according to his own idea of the way people ought to understand the future, artificial intelligence, and a general enhancement of the human condition.
