An interface between organic brains and quantum computers.

The real trouble with organic brains is that they have a different rate of firing from one another, so there is no standard rate at which the state is being changed for all biological minds. If we created some type of organic logic circuit which could print out its outputs as chemical outputs, we could have some type of sensor that converted the chemical output into a binary language and transmit it to a quantum computer via the mechanism of entanglement.

Basically, your first data point would be a binary number that would act as a metronome. It would have some type of sensor that could detect the rate at which the biological circuit was firing and cause an entangled particle to change its spin state each time the circuit fired. This would allow the quantum computer to know for sure if a transmission site maintained the same neurochemical if it should in fact be recorded as a separate incidence and when exactly that incidence should be recorded.

The benefit of this is that an organic circuit can maintain numerous neurochemicals, going far beyond a binary language and can grow, adapt and self-repair which a mechanical computer cannot do, but it could then transmit its data to a quantum computer which can communicate much faster across much longer distances than biological neurons can.

In a matrix like scenario, I doubt the machines would use us as batteries, but as computers. Maybe they reward us for emptying our minds because that allows them to utilize more of our processing capacity for their purposes? ;p I'm totally in fantasy land right now, but it is a cool idea.

Visual test for brain's native frequency

If we could make a row of unblurred images each one drawn at a different number of frames per second and could line them up from top to bottom in order from lowest FPS to highest FPS, we could estimate your personal brain's operating frequency by self-reporting the point at which all animations appear to become one fluid motion. This is of course assuming your monitor's refresh rate is higher than the FPS of the highest animation you are testing.

Isn't that called a keyboard?

lmao. I guess it is, we just have this clunky mechanical intermediary, but yeah in a sense.

It is pretty amazing when you think about it. The means to communicate between minds through computers is taken for granted.

Imagine millions of light switches on the walls around you all clicking on and off every microsecond. I don't ever want to give any machine access to my organic firmware.

It would be like Spock mind melting with VGER.

We are safe for the moment, computers don't speak human, just ones and zeros.

Yeah, if we are on a process of metamorphosis, getting locked in the pupae stage would not be a good idea. Thus is the outcome of pure materialism. Slipping ever further into illusion. ;p

a reply to: Nechash
Interesting theory, but I don't think I'd want to be around for that outcome of pure Materialism, as you say.

I guess you haven't been reading the Black Triangle and the member we aren't allowed to name who is now gone, and asserted to some of us there was a "breakaway civilization," using sleeping people's minds for extra computational power?

Interesting way of looking at it. Some people cant turn away form the material sun. They are blinded by their stuff.

Eventually we will produce a computer God. It will be an illusion, too. It will never know that it knows.

Consider using a quantum computer to execute high-speed automated transactions for an investment bank ... It's game-over for the world economic system. It's like playing jackpot with a magnet to control the wheels.

Not at all. He sounds interesting. Anyone cantankerous enough to get banished from here and to be rendered unnameable must have surely been something outrageous. ;p

You bet it would be. They speak a lot about algorithm challenge right now in keeping up with trading speeds.
Great thing to bring up.

He is interesting, as is his story. You should check it out. Some of us were private messaged by him detailing the situation before his ultimate story thread, that he dramatically predicted was his last communication, and ended communications at the exact time he predicted. He wasn't banished. He was leaving, for Olympus, the break away civilization. If you're interested in searching his name for his thread, in particular, telling his story, private message me, and I'll give you his name. He participated for quite a while in the Aviation threads, gaining a high degree of credibilty before he told this story….

Didn't they use batch processing to decrypt all those WW2 enigma messages?
Maybe that wasn't a quantum computer but it took advantage of superposition.

a reply to: tetra50

I think I found it, drenched in allegory. It would have been nice to speak to him before he vanished. Maybe he could have provided a little bit of illumination onto this madness for me. Thanks for the clue. It is always nice to have another piece to this puzzle even if I have no idea what to do with all of them right now. I feel like a toddler drooling on the square block while I consider the possibilty of trying the round hole yet again. ;p

a reply to: Nechash
You really gave me a laugh with that analogy. Not only having raised children whom I watched do this over and over, I did the same myself, so don't feel bad.

Actually this is a common problem that has a software fix. It's called a buffer...... Data is stored in a kind of reservoir and the speed at which it can flow is restricted to an on call bases.

of course we do occasionally have an issue with buffer over run...

It takes years to develop the synapses required for complex brain functions. Such technology would face the challenge of speeding up the formation of neurons.

But you would only need to interface those neurons for vision. When you dream, it is the random fluctuations in your retina that create the patterns. There's "only" 10 million neurons for each eye that need to be patched in order to transfer visual images.

follow up the grey-goof story (and associated material) in the polarity encoding topic
..i think it will make sense to you, if you like allegories an' stuff

hi tet, did you notice the "chrysalis" (pupae stage) cited back there?
/nod & wink
btw- have you ever heard Crowley Fanboy Dr. Richard Allen Miller waxing lyrical on "breakaway civilizations"?
(some audio's available through guerillamedia.com/vinny eastwood)
/goes to check out that breakaway-civ topic i'd been avoiding

No, but I found it, reread, and starred him/her for it when I found it.

Yeah. Read that stuff. Although,well, that's for another thread. Sorry Necash not trying to derail hereabouts.
