2016 Building Bridges HTCC Scientific Abstract Publication, PowerPoint Slides and Script

Below is my abstract, the cloud portion of my power point presentation that I presented at UCI's 2016 HTCC Conference(this specific portion I intend on drawing inspiration from for coding projects), and then at the end of this blog post I included my full 2016 HTCC Conference powerpoint presentation. It is important to note that there might be inaccuracies within my presentation as the presentation was purely hypothetical at best.

250-Word Abstract

Without preserving neurological identity, humanity lives with a negative information loss constant. This is a hypothetical constant derived from Pelvig et al.‘s findings in their paper, “Neocortical glial cell numbers in human brains”. Within this paper, it was discovered that the human brain contains approximately 50,000,000,000 neocortical and glial cells (6). This data implies that 50,000,000,000 packets of neurological information ceases to exist with the loss of just one neurological identity. As a result, a negative information loss constant exists, and slows the rate of progress made by human civilizations around the world. However, by preserving neurological identity, the aforementioned constant can be reduced.

By digesting a 6-8 micron nanobot, humans will have the capability to upload their mind to a cloud based software program, thus preserving their neurological identity (Rothblatt 9). Nanobots will preserve neurological identity by teleporting data from neurons inside the brain to a computer server that utilizes software called the cloud. To teleport the data, the nanobot and the server utilize the same superconducting quantum circuit. This allows information in the nanobot and the server to remain entangled. As long as information remains in an entangled state between two systems, information can be transferred across a 143km distance (Ma 269). Utilizing this information transfer process, neurological identity can be transferred from the brain to the cloud. Given this methodology, neurological identity can be preserved and the 50,000,000,000 information loss constant is reduced.

[Slide Change] This brings me to the second part of my plan. The cloud.

The cloud is a futuristic computer server that utilizes both quantum and classical computation. The server can receive quantum data and translate quantum data into classical data. By translating quantum data into classical data, mind bytes or information about a user’s brain can begin to be created. Pause To be honest, mind bytes aren’t a big deal on their own. They are essentially meaningless, messy data, extrapolated from your brain, but over time you could imagine that there is some machine learning program running behind the scenes, sorting out a user’s mind byte information. Pause [Slide Change] Eventually, I think that this machine learning program would figure out how to sort these mind bytes into something like a mind file, an actual file containing a user’s neurological identity.If you wondering how, allow me to explain.

Pause A machine learning program running on the cloud could learn how to build mind files based off a sort of categorical knowing, enabling our computer server to categorize things by designing things like particle clouds, where we have shared derived traits like particle velocity, instantaneous rate of change, and electrical continuity that distinguish one mind byte from another.

[Slide Change] Assuming our machine learning program could use mind bytes to create a user’s mind file we could create biomedical devices such as neuroprosthetics to replace damaged parts of the brain.

Today, I will be presenting a research project focused on the concept of Martine Rothblatt’s digital immortality. My presentation will of course, be in the form of power point. And before I begin, I want to emphasize that the majority of my work is purely hypothetical. So at this point in time, my presentation could actually be considered more religious than scientific.

Pause Without further ado, I would like to introduce you all to my research, “Preserving Neurological Identity with Quantum Teleportation and The Cloud.” Pause I shall begin with a rhetorical question. “Where is the most affluent place on Earth?” Pause [Slide Change] The Graveyard.

Pause For in the Graveyard there are inventions and ideas that never become a reality. Pause [Slide Change] Additionally, there are experts in the graveyard, and if the minds of these experts were preserved, some very challenging problems persisting today might potentially be solved.

Pause [Slide Change] As it turns out it is not just the experts, the dreamers and the inventors making the graveyard the richest place on Earth. It is every human being who has or ever will enter the graveyard.

Pause When just ONE adult dies, there are approximately 50 billion brain cells that are lost. From an informational point of view, this means everyone in the graveyard is important and everyone should have their neurological identity preserved. Some of you might be thinking quality over quantity and that in fact, everyone’s neurological identity is not important. I’ll admit I shared a similar point of view at first.However, I realized that every human being has at least some information that could help humanity put puzzle pieces together, puzzle pieces that could eventually lead to solutions for some of humanity’s grand challenges that persist today, such as cancer. So, when there are 50 billion brain cells that are lost when just one human being dies, there is also what I call a negative information loss constant that is created and accumulates over time. Pause [Slide Change] In order to eliminate this negative information loss constant I argue that we should preserve neurological identity using a three part plan. Nanotechnology, The Cloud, and Quantum Teleportation.

Now, before I dive into my plan, I briefly wish to establish a frame of reference for neurological identity. Pause Neurological identity is the mind and brain. I believe that the mind and brain are not magical, they are simply put, patterned matter. What do I mean by patterned matter? Our brains and our minds consist of the same matter our universe is made of. Together, Electrons, Protons, Neutrons, and Photons interact with each other, in a deterministic way to give rise to the phenomena some human a long time ago decided to call the brain and mind. Pause So to clarify, when I say neurological identity I mean the mind and brain, and when I say the mind and brain I mean patterned matter. And when I say patterned matter, I literally mean, that at a fundamental level there is a particular and unique architecture of electrons, protons, neutrons, and photons interacting with each other, in a pattern like fashion within everyone’s head. Pause [Slide Change] Now that I have established a frame of reference for neurological identity. I will begin talking about the first part of my solution, nanotechnology. In the not so distant future [If we really really try], sophisticated nanotechnology could mimic the function of prescription medication and help us preserve our neurological identity. People could literally be prescribed a bottle of digestible nanobots by their doctor.

Pause To explain, nanorobots the size of red blood cells could be digested like your daily dose of vitamins. The sole purpose of these digestible nanobots would be to gather information about the brain and send this information off to a computer. (I will discuss the specifics of this in detail later on). In order to gather information nanobots would swim through the blood vessels of the brain, scanning and interacting with photons that are involved in communication between brain cells. How do these nanobots work? Software and Hardware.The nanobot software would run off simple if else statements. For example, If nanobot reaches x threshold of photon data, stop collecting photonic data and wait for payload to be released to computer. Else keep collecting photonic data in brain .To stay within the limit of time, this is the software of the nanobot in a nutshell. Now I will move on to the nanobot hardware. Pause [Slide Change] In order to manipulate photon data and keep it coherent, very specific hardware is needed. This is because quantum information is like goldy locks. Things need to be just right. That is to say, there needs to be the right software and hardware. [Slide Change] That is why, the type of nanobot I am addressing in this presentation will integrate super quantum conducting circuitry that utilizes liquid helium molecules. With a quantum superconducting circuit utilizing liquid helium molecules, a near absolute zero temperature can be maintained inside the nanobot. This specific temperature is vital for the coherence of quantum information.

However, to keep quantum information coherent we also need our nanobot to integrate hardware that can deflect electromagnetic interference. To do this, the nanobot could be made with some external shield that keeps external electromagnetic radiation at bay. Pause This is, an overview of my nanobot’s hardware. So, I propose that by having some very fine tuned nanobot hardware and software, you could scan regions of your brain very quickly and accurately and you can send this information off to the cloud. Pause [Slide Change] This brings me to the second part of my plan. The cloud.

The cloud is a futuristic computer server that utilizes both quantum and classical computation. The server can receive quantum data and translate quantum data into classical data. By translating quantum data into classical data, mind bytes or information about a user’s brain can begin to be created. Pause To be honest, mind bytes aren’t a big deal on their own. They are essentially meaningless, messy data, extrapolated from your brain, but over time you could imagine that there is some machine learning program running behind the scenes, sorting out a user’s mind byte information. Pause [Slide Change] Eventually, I think that this machine learning program would figure out how to sort these mind bytes into something like mind file, an actual file containing a user’s neurological identity.If you wondering how, allow me to explain.

Pause A machine learning program running on the cloud could learn how to build mind files based off a sort of categorical knowing, enabling our computer server to categorize things by designing things like particle clouds, where we have shared derived traits like particle velocity, instantaneous rate of change, and electrical continuity that distinguish one mind byte from another. [Slide Change] Assuming our machine learning program could use mind bytes to create a user’s mind file we could create biomedical devices such as neuroprosthetics to replace damaged parts of the brain.

Well, this is the cloud based computer server, it can communicate with nanotechnology to create mind bytes, it can turn mind bytes into mind files and these mind files could lead to something awesome like cybernetic brains. However, how exactly does the nanobot and the cloud communicate? [Slide Change] This brings me to the final part of my plan. Quantum Teleportation.Quantum Teleportation might actually be an overkill way of communicating information and creating mind bytes on a cloud based computer server, but I believe it can eliminate the amount of time it takes to create these mind files. To be honest, it would be nice if people alive today didn’t have to wait on some super slow mind uploading technique.

Pause. So, this is why I stuck with quantum teleportation. Keep in mind, quantum teleportation is not faster than the speed of light, but it is still a very fast way of communicating information. [ I could be wrong here].In order to teleport just one photon particle from the nanobot to the cloud We need 3 Photon particles. Let’s call these photon particles A, B, and C. Pause Now, Needing 3 Photon particles to teleport one photon particle might seem counter intuitive, and if it does, that’s probably a good thing. [Slide Change] Getting back to the point at hand, Photon A is the Photon particle in our digestible nanobot, this photon particle is the teleportation particle. The particle we want to send to the cloud.

Photon B and Photon C will not be found in the nanobot. Instead, Photon B and C are found within the quantum portion of the cloud based computer server. Inside the quantum portion of the cloud based computer server, there is another quantum superconducting circuit where Photon B and Photon C are located. Pause Photon B and C are entangled, they share the same quantum state. This means that Photon B and C are pretty much copies of each other, so if we know Photon B’s information we know Photon C’s information.

Pause

Next, there will be a joint measurement between Photon A and B. A joint measurement is necessary because directly measuring Photon A [the particle you want to teleport] will disrupt its quantum state. A joint measurement is important, relative to quantum teleportation. This is because the form of teleportation proposed in this research article would not work if the quantum states of photon particles was disrupted. To avoid disruption of quantum states between two photon particles, it is necessary to manipulate the photon particles using Sherlock Holmes type deduction. In other words, a more mathematical approach is necessary if two photons particles are to be teleported.

Getting back to the point at hand, scientists can measure the differences between Photon A and Photon B and get answers of 1, 2, 3, or 4. This gives scientists four possible outcomes, guesses, or descriptions about Photon A and Photon B.Once you have the four differences between Photon A and Photon B you can utilize a form of quantum teleportation that will essentially turn the quantum state of photon C into photon A. Technically, you can refer to photon C as photon B in this context since photon C and photon B are entangled and therefore share the same quantum state. This form of quantum teleportation will not discriminate against distance.

Nevertheless, Photon A is now ready for teleportation. Taking the four possible differences between Photon A and Photon B into consideration, Photon C can be manipulated into the same quantum state or superposition as Photon A.

Once the quantum state of photon A has been figured out and recreated inside the cloud based computer server [Photon C], Quantum Teleportation will be successfully completed. To end, Hundreds, Thousands, or even millions of digestible nanobots, could send quantum information to a cloud, and this could eventually allow us to create copies of our brain. These copies could help develop personalized neuroprosthetics that could replace organic parts of our brain. More importantly, the ability to create mind files might reduce the negative information loss constant plaguing humanity.
