Transhuman Era Blueprint
Part One: : Artificial Intelligence and Androids
Artificial Intelligence is the new electricity of the Transhuman Era in that it is ubiquitous. At first it is simple speech, gesture, facial recognition software. A.I then gains the ability to recognize human language then it becomes "intuitive" in that it has the capability to collaborate with other A.Is. With Evolutionary Algorithms and Synthetic Sentience , virtual life becomes possible with evolutionary algorithms taking the role of "virtual DNA". These virtual creatures have the max intelligence as birds then cats and dogs, but not human level intelligence. At this stage the Internet becomes a living organism similar to Apple's Siri in that it can evolve and reprogram itself without human coding.
The A.I is slowly reaching human level around the time Exocortex Networks are invented. Media Hiveminds are extremely popular , but Exocortex Networks revolutionize society because it augments the brain's biological high-level cognitive processes. With Artificial Intelligence advances, Droids get upgraded to Androids and Cybernetics are possible. Quantum Computing also helps the A.I evolve because it can simulate neurons.
Binary Legislation allows A.I to control certain sectors of society, allows 12th Generation and over Android certain rights and establishes those Androids are equal members of society. Android Brothels were legal, but now Humans can form domestic partnerships with their Android Lovers. There are rumors the Androids will be allowed to vote, but opponents are that they should count as 3/5th of a vote. Similiar to the Anti-Slavery movement of American History, scholars argue that using neuroinduction fields to control high level Androids is the new Slavery. Others argue that Android Labor should be replaced by low level human clones of the lowest Epsilon and Delta classes,(Brave New World), because they have been genetically engineered to be low intelligence. Humans with cybernetics are more likely to be infavor of Android Emancipation, and their is a growing movement of Cyborgs (51% cybernetic, 49% organic) who want accelerated technological change and are protesting to create Technological Utopias.
A.I then gains extra dimensions at Binary Subconciousness like having the ability to simulate senses like taste , smell (olfacoception or olfacception), and touch (tactioception) temperature (thermoception), kinesthetic sense (proprioception), pain (nociception), balance (equilibrioception), emotions, electronic sheeps (dreams), and are truly human. Also Vomeronasal organs (sexual reproduction), Magnetoception, and Electroreception become avaliable. This, along with the uterine replicator sparks an A.I "golden age" with 12th Generation Androids being almost humanlike.
Also Simulated Reality is around the corner which enrages certain religious and technophobic groups, claming that mother nature and their diety are the only ones allowed to create worlds. Virtual Life has been around for decades, but with Simulated Reality you can enter virtual worlds that appear indistinguishable from actual reality, with smells, taste, and all the senses interacted. Before, virtual life was represented as holograms that at interacted with the environment. Now Virtual Life have their own actual virtual worlds . They feel so alive, and the world can be anything to your imagination. The Matrix and Neo are here.
The A.I continues getting more powerful, and it becomes so advanced that along with Mind Uploading, we enter the Technological Singularity. The technological singularity, or simply the singularity, is a theoretical point in time when human technology (and, A.I will have so rapidly progressed that, ultimately, a greater-than-human intelligence will emerge, which will "radically change human civilization, and perhaps even human nature itself."Since the capabilities of such an intelligence may be difficult for an unaided human mind to comprehend, the technological singularity is often seen as an occurrence (akin to a gravitational singularity) beyond which—from the perspective of the present—the future course of human history is unpredictable or even unfathomable.
Then comes the Humanoid Age, where humans and Humanoids are virtually identical, except Humanoids are seen as Homo Superior 4.0, in that they have biologically rengineered organs, and have vastly superior intellegence than a birth human. An example of a Humanoid is kinda the humanlike Cylons of Battlestar Galactica. Slowly , Humanoids start becoming the mainstream commanders of society, and unSingularitzed,( havent uploaded their minds), humans are angry that they are becoming 2nd class. The Technological Singularity is making it hard for unSingularitzed humans to even comprehend what is going on in society. There is talk of creating mythological beasts of ancestor past like Dragons, Unicorns, and others. Then the new science of Speculative Physiology allows the biological creation of new plants and animals that have never existed. Humans become equal to Humanoids by downloading their minds to machines.
Then the whole planet becomes one giant Terra computer, with virtually all A.I linked into "mega A.I Banks" that are the new megacoporations. With Human Transmutation, Humans have a chance to become more powerful version of Homo Superior, but instead humanity becomes divided into subspecies like Icarus Sapiens ,(winged humans), Gaia Sapiens(plant humans), Aquarius Sapiens (similiar to Atlantis, can breathe underwater), Geo Sapiens (infused with ore, live underground), and other branches. Eventually these human subspecies evolve into human like alien races. A.I is heavily used in almost every branch of society, and a necessity for space travel.
Then a couple of hundred years into the future Humanoids evolve into X-Humans (ex humans). Space exploration is done with von neumann and then the A.I becomes Black Hole Brains, Supernova Brains that are almost godlike and are required to enter the multiverse.
Part Two of The Transhuman Blueprint will be Biologicals. Coming soon.
