In particular, I was thinking about how one
would represent, cloning and human brain
transfers into a digital format, via a
computing metaphor. Then I realized this
is equivalent to a fork. When a program
forks the original running process replicates
sharing the same file descriptors and
environment variables.
Can you imagine two brains sharing the
same sensory inputs and outputs?
The whole concept of threading is beyond
nature. Is there anything in nature capable of
multithreading. All human beings are singly
threaded. We live life over a single thread.
We can NEVER do two things at the same time
at any given time.
In a dual processor computer two threads
can run at the same time and they may act
either independently or in conjunction with
one another. Not only that, but a root thread
can govern, control and spawn many child
threads. If a program is concious, when
it executes it need never loose control,
just because it forks.
Humans will never know what it means to be
multithreaded we can never know our children
like we know ourselves.
In essence multithreading is like an additional
sentient dimension.
Another property associated with multithreading
is complete resource consumption. Every human
being has a finite amount of resources he/she
may consume in their lifetime. A computer
program may consume indefinately until everything
in the universe is consumed. If computer programs
are conscious, they will know life unlike anything
on the planet and they will never die.
Who are we kidding?
