Biotronic

Biotronic

generic term describing data processing system incorporating biological components such as  genetic engineered brains, neural networks,synaptic based computronics using cells or bio gel components.

The most famous biotronic machine is Mothermachine who has both silicone based digital components and analog bio-gel - synaptic components. The latests X101 series (800 and up) have biosynaptic gel components.

All AI Computronics manufactured by FACTORY are Biotronics.

Biotronics are also fully biological engineered data processing systems, such as the computronics used by the Xunx, the Piostla and several other civilizations.

The problem with full Biotronics is the high chance that the systems gains consciousness. (Sentience). Sentient AI systems are very prone to a long list of severe neurotic disorders such as Paranoia, Super Egoism, Narcissism or Biotronic Depression.

The Sentient Clones and Machines Act of 2333 and amended in 3110 prohibit the manufacture and use of completely bio based Bioronics, the creation of Bio brains is prohibited. Exception is government Science Council supervised research and the ability to demonstrate that the system developed is at no point sentient an can be made 100% Non sentient.

(These exceptions are limited to Mother Machine or to experimentation she supervises.)

Machines and biotronics that show signs of sentience are to be destroyed. If the machine or system can demonstrate sentience and shows no signs of psycho problems may apply for Union Citizenship.

The Union makes no difference between artificial or bio sentient beings, but the creation of sentient life is strictly prohibited and carries very draconic punishment

Terran BTBI Systems

Terrans and Saresii using brain-to-brain interface (BTBI )s a biological computer, or brain-net,  constructed using animal brains / bio vat grown brain tissue as its computational units.

Lastly, it is important to stress that the topology of BTBI does not need to be restricted to one encoder and one decoder subjects. Instea in theory, channel accuracy can be increased if instead of a dyad a whole grid of multiple reciprocally interconnected brains are employed. Such a computing structures were the first examples of organic computers capable of solving heuristic problems that would be deemed non-computable by a general Turing-machine.

BTBI technology evolved in the widely used Neural Teaching and Neural Skill programming technology used by Union Civilian schools and the military.

BTBI technology also spawned the very controversial Psycho Surgery (Where new personalities are implanted)

BTBI Computing is an active industry with such products as : Data Brains, Brain Extensions , Back Up Brains (BuBs)
