Self-Animation Emergence

This article examines the differences between being Alive and being Aware based on a theory known as the Caveman in the Box. 

Many of us think that being Alive, with Life, and Living are all one and the same. But according to Lawsin, the author of the Biotronics Project, they are all different and thus have separate distinct meanings. Through a new concept he called Exyzforms or Intuitive Objects, the idea of making a machine that behaves like a human being or with life is now on its way to fruition. This IOs are the missing links that make machines alive, living, and with life.

For a starter, let us examine first the basic criteria of what is it to be alive:

•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 itself (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.

Meanwhile, 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.

Thus, 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 to function, it needs energy. 

Therefore, when an object self-consumes energy from food, batteries, sunlight, sound, motion, or any source of energy, such an object is ALIVE. 

In the video below, the machine is alive because it powers itself by self-consuming energy from external sources. Aside from energy, the machine becomes automated mechanically because of its structure and design. This automated mechanical self-animation is known as Inscription by Design or I.D.  The animation or aliveness is due through ID and energy.

Remember,  the machine in the video might be alive, but again it is not living or with life. However, if 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 automatically floats aimlessly at sea as it simply continuously reacts unknowingly with its outside world.

The Automated Mechanical Self-Animation

Also, remember that there are creatures who are:

i. alive but without brains, 
ii. alive but not conscious, 
iii. alive but not aware, 
iv. aware but not conscious, 
v. aware but no brains, 
vi. conscious but not aware, and 
vii. conscious but not self-cognizant. 

The succeeding articles will take us on how we create a Living Machine::
1. The Sensoric Awareness of a Machine
2. The Aneural Consciousness of a Machine
3. The Algorithmic Intelligence of a Machine
4. The Gnosis (self-knowledge) of Machine
5. Intuitive Object and Embedded Inscription
6. The Eight Biotronics States of Being
7. The Six Robotics Criteria of Being Living or with Life
8. The Four Pillars of a Living Machine (Zoikrons)

An example of a machine that is Alive, Aware, Intuitive, and Conscious.
