Title: A Robot By Any Other Name Could Be A Human: defining humanity through an examination of Asimovian robots. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Diana Rohlman Being human is often portrayed as desirable in fiction. Many fictional beings, particularly robots and androids, seek out being human as a goal. Although current robotics is not advanced enough for robots and androids to be deemed sentient, the world of fiction is quickly becoming reality. With the integration of robots into society, we are confronted not only with how society views robots, but how, through the eyes of fictional robots, society and humanity are defined. This thesis seeks to explore the definition of humanity and what it means to be human. The fictional works of the Star Trek universe and those of Isaac Asimov suggest that relationships, those of friendship and antagonism, and mortality, may also define humanity. Understanding what makes us human better prepares us for the eventual integration of intelligent robots into humanity as well as to imagine what their place in our society will look like.

  • Sibling Communication In" Star Trek: the Next Generation": Conflicts
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 364 932 CS 508 412 AUTHOR Fuss-Reineck, Marilyn TITLE Sibling Communication in "Star Trek: The Next Generation": Conflicts between Brothers. PUB DATE Nov 93 NOTE 23p.; Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Speech Communication Association (79th, Miami, FL, November 18-21, 1993). PUB TYPE Speeches/Conference Papers (150) Viewpoints (Opinion/Position Papers, Essays, etc.) (120) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Class Activities; Conflict; *Conflict Resolution; Cultural Influences; Higher Education; *Intercultural Communication; *Interpersonal Communication; *Sibling Relationship; Siblings IDENTIFIERS *Communication Behavior; Family Communication; *Star Trek (The Next Generation) ABSTRACT "Star Trek: The Next Generation" depicts sibling relationships between Data and Lore (android), Worf and Kurn (Klingon) and Jean-Luc and Robert (human) that illustrate conflictual communication and suggest teaching applications. The most disturbing empirical communication research on conflict between brothers reports that male sibling pairs are consistently more violent than female sibling pairs. The relationship between Data and Lore is introduced in "Datalore," further developed in "Brothers," and concluded in "Descent II." Despite the almost identical "genetic" similarities between the brothers and the fact that they share the same parent and home, their values are dissimilar. Worf and Kurn's relationship is introduced in "Sins of the Father" and continued in "Redemption I and II." Even though the Klingon culture is violent, arguments between brother are not settled by physical attack because the hierarchy contributes to smooth functioning. In the episode "Family," captain Jean-Luc is able to reveal his frailties to his brother Robert, who is placed in his once familiar role of giving advice and protecting his younger brother.

  • Star Trek and Gene Roddenberry's “Vision of the Future”: the Creation of an Early Television Auteur
    Volume 5, Issue 2 September 2012 Star Trek and Gene Roddenberry’s “Vision of the Future”: The Creation of an Early Television Auteur MICHAEL KMET, University of California Los Angeles ABSTRACT Gene Roddenberry propagated a narrative of himself as a “visionary” writer-producer and the primary author of Star Trek in the 1960s. From the 1970s onwards, Paramount Pictures (and later, CBS) co-opted that narrative to market what would become the Star Trek franchise. This paper will examine to what extent this narrative can be substantiated, and to what extent certain aspects can be contested. KEYWORDS Authorship, auteur, Gene Roddenberry, Science Fiction, Star Trek. Telefantasy, Television, visionary. Introduction When Gene Roddenberry died on October 24, 1991, obituary writers frequently mentioned the “vision of the future” presented in Star Trek (1966-1969) and Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987-1994), the two longest-running television programs to credit Roddenberry as their creator1 (Roush, 1991; Anon., 1991, October 25). Some went even further, proclaiming the late writer-producer an outright ‘visionary, a man who created a cultural phenomenon’ (Anon., 1991, October 26). These were not new labels for Gene Roddenberry, who had been described in such lofty terms since he began attending Star Trek conventions in the early 1970s (Engel, 1994, p.142). In the two decades since Roddenberry’s death, similar descriptions of the writer-producer have continued to appear in Star Trek-related press coverage (Thompson, 1996), value-added content on home video, and nonfiction books (Greenwald, 1998). Although a few books and articles have been written since Roddenberry’s death that have questioned some of his more grandiose claims about Star Trek, many more have perpetuated them, and few have deviated from the narrative of Gene Roddenberry as visionary.

  • Live Long and Evolve: What Star Trek Can Teach Us About Evolution
    © Copyright, Princeton University Press. No part of this book may be distributed, posted, or reproduced in any form by digital or mechanical means without prior written permission of the publisher. CHAPTER 1 “TO SEEK OUT NEW LIFE . .” The opening sequences of both TOS and TNG mention that their mission is “to seek out new life.” While many viewers think of this mission in the context of other humanoid life forms depicted in the series, such as the Vulcans or Klingons or An­ dorians, fewer think of it in the context of entirely unfamiliar forms. Is such unfamiliar life likely, and what might a “new life form” look like? The first section of this chapter examines briefly the question of what “life” actually means and begins to exam­ ine its probability of occurrence. Many biology textbooks pro­ vide lists of characteristics of living organisms, but exceptions to some items in these lists abound even on our own planet. Might we expect similar forms to have arisen elsewhere in the universe? Furthermore, these lists are artificial in the sense that they were made based on observations of known organisms on Earth rather than derived from fundamental principles of bi­ ology and chemistry. Much of life is, for example, water and carbon based, but are these properties general to life or idiosyn­ cratic to the observed single set of related life forms on Earth? The second section of the chapter goes into several properties as­ sociated with life on Earth, and considers what alternatives may be possible.

  • About Quantising Unconscious Decision Processes and Their Origin and Proving Intelligent Design
    About quantising unconscious decision processes and their origin and proving Intelligent Design Martin K. Dubreuil 1, Sergii Koliada April 6, 2014 Abstract: Prompted by previous research results we analysed human decision processes for unconscious patterns. Like former studies [1, 2] we were able to find law-like patterns that were not consciously created. We calculated the residual uncertainty about the pattern to 1 : 1,000,000,000 and proved a high correlation ratio for the data source related to the found pattern through an intra class correlation test (3.2). We showed that conscious (3.3) and unconscious human behaviour and natural selection (3.4) are not able to explain this result. This includes the possibility to prove Intelligent Design (3.4). Contents 1 Introduction . 1 2 Defining the data source and the shape of the pattern . 2 3 Results . 4 3.1 The pattern itself . 4 3.2 Proving the pattern . 7 3.3 Origin . 10 3.4 Intelligent Design . 12 4 Appendix A . 13 5 Appendix B . 26 6 Appendix C . 28 References . 30 1 Int roduction Some time ago we initiated a contest between students, about who was able to create the most random data, with a price to win. We first used the gained data set for intraclass and interclass analysis. Then we searched for other unusual characteristics. There were 318 bit strings entered with an average length of 80 digits. We discovered, that not a single time „00000000“ or „11111111“ were entered. By assuming true randomness for 318*80 = 25440 digits, we should have found a bit string composed of exact 8 equal digits about 100 times.

    Cognizant Networks: A Model and Framework for Session-based Communications and Adaptive Networking Umar Kalim Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science and Applications Wu-chun Feng, Chair Pavan Balaji Mark Gardner Eli Tilevich Yaling Yang June 30, 2017 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: Session Management, Context Awareness, Dynamic Network Configuration, Network-Stack Extensions, Next-Generation Networking Copyright 2017, Umar Kalim Cognizant Networks: A Model and Framework for Session-based Communications and Adaptive Networking Umar Kalim ABSTRACT The Internet has made tremendous progress since its inception. The kingpin has been the transmission control protocol (TCP), which supports a large fraction of communication. With the Internet’s wide- spread access, users now have increased expectations. The demands have evolved to an extent which TCP was never designed to support. Since network stacks do not provide the necessary functionality for modern applications, developers are forced to implement them over and over again — as part of the application or supporting libraries. Consequently, application developers not only bear the burden of developing application features but are also responsible for building networking libraries to support sophisticated scenarios. This leads to considerable duplication of effort. The challenge for TCP in supporting modern use cases is mostly due to limiting assumptions, simplis- tic communication abstractions, and (once expedient) implementation shortcuts. To further add to the complexity, the limited TCP options space is insufficient to support extensibility and thus, contemporary communication patterns. Some argue that radical changes are required to extend the networks func- tionality; some researchers believe that a clean slate approach is the only path forward.
