Personoid

Personoid is the concept coined by Stanislaw Lem, a Polish science-fiction writer, on Non Serviam (1971). His personoids are an abstraction of functions of human mind and they live in computers; they do not need any human-like physical body.

In cognitive and software modeling, personoid is a research approach to the development of intelligent autonomous agents. In frame of the IPK (Information, Preferences, Knowledge) architecture, it is a framework of abstract intelligent agent with a cognitive and structural intelligence. It can be seen as an essence of high intelligent entities.

From the philosophical and systemics perspectives, personoid societies can also be seen as the carriers of a culture. According to N. Gessler, the personoids study can be a base for the research on artificial culture and culture evolution.

  • The Thirteenth Floor (1999)
gollark: I can't really do it concurrently because half the operations end up mutating a shared `ImageBuffer`.
gollark: Also, it's really fast, 400ms vs a few seconds for the Haskell program.
gollark: The images are big but I could theoretically drop the color space a bit to shrink them.
gollark: And because of the lack of floats I had to do some of the operations kind of hackily.
gollark: This isn't strictly an exact port, because the Haskell version uses floats and for efficiency this doesn't, but who cares.
