The Silver Species

First drafted 1988 Published 2000 Revised 2010

by Joey Lawsin

The Biotronics Project was first conceptualized by Joey Lawsin when he was in high school. It was revisited in 1988 with a basic aim in his mind: to create intuitive machines that look alive, living, and with life. He collectively named these abioforms the Silver Species. 

Biotronics is a construction of the coined words "bio" and "electronics". "Bio" means alive or with life, and "Tronics" means wise electronics. In a broader sense, this new group of synthetic living organisms can see, smell, taste, hear, feel, think, breed, talk, fly, swim, build, and be conscious, which by human standards are functions described as biological life. They die too. 

Zoikrons are self-living self-ness machines. The coined name is derived from “Zoi” and “omicrons”. They are experimental prototypes developed to simulate the Sensation of Awareness, Emergence of Consciousness, the Mechanization of Aliveness, the Experience of Self-living, and the Realization of Selfness. In short, Biotronics and Zoikrons are made to learn the true meaning and nature of life from a different perspective, the machine way.

Abiozoics, which means the creation of non-life (abio) to life (zoi), is a discipline that generally studies the transformation of non-living species into living organisms. It also deals specifically with the transformation of abstract to realities or from nothing to something. The concept is based on the principle behind the ZiZo effect. Humans and other living organisms might look different from these metallic species, but in reality, both are exactly the same in biophysical and biomechanical structure. They are made up of intricate networks of sensors that trigger sets of instructions and emulate the Animation Effect.

Being alive, living, and with life are three different terms that are usually interchanged and confused. Because of these confusions in terminology, Lawsin used the word Bioform to represent an entity or system that is alive, living, and with life. An entity is alive if it consumes energy to power itself. An entity is considered living if it is alive. And an entity has life if it is both alive and living. Humans and autognorics are examples of bioforms.

On the other hand, Abioform, a term coined by Lawsin in his book The Biotronics Project, is an entity or system that is alive and living but without life (self-realization). Abioforms are entities that are alive or living but have no capability of recognizing themselves. Plants and animals, according to some studies, can't recognize themselves and thus they don't possess self-realization. They are not self-conscious. Plants and animals are examples of abioforms. The biotronics in the video is another example of abioforms

Lawsin also invented and developed several new smart robotic systems such as Neurotronics, Homotronics, and Inverse Codex to meet all the demands of his scientific experiments on inscription by design, embedded instructions, generated emergence, codexation, intuitive objects, associative aneural consciousness, and maximize them into the context of technology rather than in the philosophy and psychology or neuroscience of self-consciousness. But before we get into the details of how a silver specie is created, programmed, and given life to become Autognorics, let us discuss first what is a system.

A system is a process, a sequence of instructions, or a list of activities, within a group or family tasks for a common purpose. The instructions are the electrical parts that work together to light up a living room, or entertainment equipment, or to control one's ventilation. They are the modular programs in a computer that execute commands like saving a word document, deleting an Excel spreadsheet, or copying a PowerPoint presentation. They are the modules or various sub-systems of the human anatomy grouped together to accomplish a common task - to facilitate life. These eleven anatomical systems are the skin, skeleton, muscles, heart, lymph, nerves, glands, lungs, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems. These body systems work in a highly organized and coordinated way to assist a very well-designed living system called Homo sapiens (human beings).

In the human body system - the eyes, hands, ears, tongue, nose, and brain are called biological sensors. Sensors are classified into two: collectors and actuators. Collectors are the first line of sensors where inputs are received. These inputs, which are acquired through seeing, touching, hearing, tasting, smelling, and imagining, flow into a very intricate network of biological wires. They are stored statically or dynamically in a memory bank. This stored information or data is accessed or activated depending on the needs of the body. Once triggered, the information flows out through the biological actuators. Actuators are the last line of sensors where outputs are sent out. Collectors and actuators are linked together by a medium called carriers or transmitters. Within these biological structures, smart switches called controllers or regulators are the logical gates that connect a system to other systems.

Human is made up of several smart sensors that are turned on and off. The system of life which we call biological life is activated by these wise sensors.

About the Author :

Joey Lawsin is the author behind the new school of thought "Autognorics". He is an inventor who wants to reorganize the world by rewriting the textbooks with new concepts that debunk the old scientific, theological, and philosophical ideas of antiquity. He co-authored a book in Physics, engineered a mechanical animated life form known as ELFS, and conceived the theory on "Generated Emergence". The article is an excerpt from his book "The Biotronics Project: The Silver Species".
