Subject:Re[RFC]Theories on Handwavium
Accumulated Creative Energies-I've got no idea about how to go about testing this. My suggestion to the AI that we count the white holes and black holes in the universe and see if it's expanding was unilaterally voted down.
Reduced Wavium Processes- I've asked some of my colleagues. Most appear to not use handwavium after biomodification, and neither have I. Marduk runs on waved cold fusion technology, although it's fed garbage, and table scraps, rather than additional handwavium modifications. When it's opened up, schematics have shifted from the original plans. This is amazing considering it started out as something completely different though related. The other one who uses handwavium exclusively may be clinically insane and dips his devices into the stuff after safety protocols for baseline humans are enforced.
I've ran it through the conventional definition of life.
Homeostasis-It maintains a consistent internal state. This appears to apply if someone keeps it. If away from a sapient consciousness, it dissolves.
Organization-It may or may not be composed of cells. Some are, some aren't and these are from the same strains of handwavium, although not the same samples. Indeterminate.
Consumption-Consumption of energy by anabolism and catabolism. This is also indeterminate.
Growth-It maintains a higher rate of synthesis than catalysis when fed various materials.
Adaptation-It changes very rapidly in response to stimuli provided by human desires.
Response to Stimuli-It appears to infiltrate organisms that ingest it as a reaction or not. This can be described as indeterminate.
Reproduction-Handwavium does produce more handwavium and it appears to react very well to asexual reproduction.
So once again, the state of handwavium being alive is indeterminate.
The definition of intelligent agent is a system that perceives it's environment and take actions which maximizes it's chances of success. I believe a successful AI is one that is able to adapt solutions from previous situation to a new, similar situation. If handwavium is an intelligent agent that can tweak space-time, maybe it needs humanity for creativity to allow it sapience and become a true AI, rather than intelligence.
I did some tests on the guacamole strain to me looks like the molecular composition of guacamole. After running it through the same tests with some colleagues of mine, each one came up with different answers. One came up with the proof that it's quantum leakage of stable matter and energy. Incidentally, she's gone off to try to make her own pocket dimension off this evidence. Another when scanning found that it appeared to be a new atomic element. Atom 0. The orbit of electrons was held stable around the nucleus, it just lacked an atom where the nucleus would be. The electron orbitals impersonated the periodical table with the standard number of electrons.
The thing about handwavium is that some observations contradict previous observations and both devices work though they are mutually exclusive. I think handwavium may be susceptible to experimenter's intent as most scientists are interested in the outcome which is why they perform the experiment. On solid state science, this isn't much of a problem. On handwavium, the emotional stimuli may act on the handwavium. Or it may be both are wrong and there's a new theory that explains both.
Phlogiston-When I produced this conclusion to the aforementioned pyrokinetic, he tried to refute it by blowing me up. Fortunately, I've learned to run very fast.
Quarkbots-Space-time tweaks. How would one test this?
