PostNote

Apropos of the "ulteriore elemento di impredicibilità" (further element of unpredictability)   https://inkpi.blogspot.com/2007/03/2124-attrattore-cooperativo-bipolare.html   the inkling about the image of an acyclic bipolar avatar generated and controlled by an artificial intelligence - characterized by sufficient degrees of freedom and self-maintenance - could, hypothetically, create and modulate (unexpected) novelties, not necessarily at least in a first approximation, with  harmful-self-damaging outcomes. 

# s-brain: hacking inside (slow gamma) rhythms

<< Brain cells share different kinds of information with one another using a variety of different brain waves, analogous to the way radio stations broadcast on different frequencies. >>

<< one of these frequencies allows us to play back memories — or envision future activities — in fast forward. >>

<< fast gamma rhythms encode memories about things that are happening right now; these waves come rapidly one after another as the brain processes high-resolution information in real time. The scientists learned that slow gamma rhythms — used to retrieve memories of the past, as well as imagine and plan for the future — store more information on their longer waves, contributing to the fast-forward effect as the mind processes many data points with each wave. >>

<< The finding has implications for medicine as well as for criminal justice and other areas where memory reliability can be at issue. >>

# evol: iterative hacking mechanics; a large group of viruses can assemble human-virus codes to produce novel chimeric (UFO) proteins

<< Like a scene out of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers," a virus infects a host and converts it into a factory for making more copies of itself. Now researchers have shown that a large group of viruses, including the influenza viruses and other serious pathogens, steal genetic signals from their hosts to expand their own genomes. >>

AA << looked at a large group of viruses known as segmented negative-strand RNA viruses (sNSVs), which include widespread and serious pathogens of humans, domesticated animals and plants, including the influenza viruses and Lassa virus (..) by stealing genetic signals from their hosts, viruses can produce a wealth of previously undetected proteins. The researchers labeled them as UFO (Upstream Frankenstein Open reading frame) proteins, as they are encoded by stitching together the host and viral sequences. There was no knowledge of the existence of these kinds of proteins prior to this study. >>
