At the crossroads of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and robotics lies a captivating discipline known as Autognorics. This field focuses on the study of ELFS—machines that exhibit life-like qualities. It deals with embedded inscriptions, intuitive objects, aneural(brainless) memory systems, and generated interim emergence.
The word Autognorics is derived from the Greek words: Auto which means self and Gnorics which means knowledge. Literally, it means " a self-knowledge living machine". SELFS stands for systems of engineered life forms while ELFS is for engineered Life Forms.
Autognorics emerged from the scientific research conducted by Joey Lawsin in 1988—the Biotronics Project. The project aimed to create machines that possess life. These Intuitive Machines (IM) are objects that behave and look like humans, animals, plants, or cells. They can walk, see, talk, think, hear, taste, feel, fly, swim, and yes, they can also die.
ELFS refers to Engineered Life Forms. They are living machines endowed with the seven signatures of life. These ELFS are classified as neural (with brains) or aneural (brainless). They are also classified as Bioforms (alive, living, and with life) or Abioforms (alive, living, but without life).
Lawsin’s Seven Signatures of Life presents a seven-part formula known as the Law of Seven Inscriptions, which outlines the new seven criteria of life. The idea was developed based on the concept called Inscription by Design. The seven signatures of life include:
1. Mechanization of Aliveness (Alive): This involves enabling a material object to perform basic functions like movement or animation through self-energization. At this stage, the object is considered alive but lacks awareness or consciousness.
2. Sensation of Awareness (Sensors): This step involves adding sensory inputs to the object, such as vision, hearing, touch, taste, or smell. This enables the object to perceive its environment and react to stimuli. The object is now aware but not yet conscious.
3. Logic of Intuitiveness (Logic): This involves adding rational abilities to the object, such as logic, inference, or deduction through its sensors. This enables the object’s sensors to respond or make decisions based on its information inputs and outputs. The object is now intuitive but not inlearn, neural, or symbiotic.
4. Codification of Consciousness (Codex): This involves associating an object (reality) with information (ideas), such as following, copying, discovering, or mimicking what it senses. This enables the object to interact with its surroundings. The object is now conscious but not informed or inlearned.
5. Inlearness of Information (Inlearn): This involves adding learning capabilities to the object through acquiring information in a queue. The various distinct structural designs of its gnos store individual information uniquely through the flowchart effect via information inputs and outputs that create experiences, behaviors, and feedbacks. The object is now inlearn or inform but not symbiotic or self-emergent.
6. Symbiosis of Living (Living): This involves adding social interactions to the object, such as cooperation or competition. This enables the object to form relationships and networks with other objects and benefit from their resources and support. The object is now symbiotic but without self-realization, self-identity, or self-recognition yet.
7. Emergence of Self (Life): This involves adding self-referentiality to the object, such as self-identity, self-expression, or self-reflection. This enables the object to recognize itself as a distinct entity and create its own meaning and values in life. The object can now recognize itself, thoughts, feelings, actions, and experiences.
According to Lawsin, these new seven stages or orders are both necessary and sufficient in generating interims from being alive, living, and having life. He asserts that this inscriptional formula can be applied, either partially or completely, to any intuitive object, whether natural or artificial, and that it can elucidate the origin, creation, and evolution of life.
