We have met the robots, and they are us.
.
We have been programmed such that when the expression,
expressed as our volition thought, considers the possibility
that we were created as robots having a conscious, that this
test done as a question will not become a FATAL EXCEPTION
but a branch to a NOP (no operation) followed by a call
to a routine that reinforces our awareness that like time & space
in our three dimensional existance, it makes no sense to imagine
a life in four dimensions, nor an existence where a consciousness
is at a sub level of another type of life form. Thus only a God being,
where we are made in His image exist, leaving us with the truth
that a robot exist only at the level that we can manufacture this object
we call a computer using building blocks of an On/Off switch.

That Si post i made years ago where i did a "what if" that machine
used on all the Star Trek ships was actually made such that when
an object was placed inside an area, a 100% copy was made along
with a blue-print such that you could simply call up the object by name
and get another copy.
atom by atom
Now if a human was copied atom by atom
we still have a problem,
as what are atoms made up of,
so lets "what if" as many times as needed
and matter & enery wise we made another E.C.
and and
my bet is that it would have no consciousness
and i say this not to imply truth in some views of E.C. :o)
but that there is another layer "more" than matter & energy
that we have been programmed not to be able to imagine,
meaning our consciousness we feel inside our head at the
location where we know our brain is, thus its that mass of
gray matter with them chemical & electric activity that is us.
.
Or,
Our brain is a receiver where our consciousness exist elsewhere
and sent to this thing we call our body, which is located at the
place we call planet Earth. So yes our body is really where we
see it to be, and feel it and smell and taste, but once we die and this
body is turned to a diamond or ashes to ashes or dust to dust
or simply food for an animal or micro-organizems aka recycled,
we, as in we the consciousness still exist and only needs another
receiver like a brain. Yes, but the memory can be erased and once again
we can be received by another robot's brain we know as a brand new
born baby and the program which is us has all the static and dynamic variables
set to nulls waiting for the code to be traveled and do whatever
the program made as us was designed(with bugs) to do.

Your guide to intellectual property
Intellectual property represents the property of your mind or intellect. In business terms, this also means your proprietary knowledge.
Types of IP:
patents for new or improved products or processes;
trade marks for words, symbols, pictures, sounds, smells or a combination of these, to distinguish the goods and services of one trader from those of another;
designs for the shape or appearance of manufactured goods;
copyright for original material in literary, artistic, dramatic or musical works, films, broadcasts, multimedia and computer programs;
circuit layout rights for the 3-dimensional configuration of electronic circuits in integrated circuit products or layout designs;
plant breeder's rights for new plant varieties;
trade secrets including know-how and other confidential or proprietary information;
Find out how these types of intellectual property differ from business, company and domain names which don't necessarily give exclusive rights of ownership.
Creating IP does not mean you own the rights to it!
With the exception of copyright and circuit layout rights, which are automatic, you must take formal steps to register your IP and obtain the legal rights of ownership. Otherwise, you will have to rely on common law to prove ownership and prior use for non-registered IP.
Note: Registering your IP rights in Australia does not give you international protection. You must apply for this separately.
You should develop strategies to protect your IP rights.
Fail to do so and you may put your business at risk. Do not talk about your idea or make it public too soon, or you may lose the legal right to exclusive use of your IP.
Make sure that, when disclosing or marketing your invention or design in Australia, you do not invalidate a future patent or design in another country.
Different IP rights vary in the protection they provide. Often, more than one type may be necessary to fully protect your creation.
You can find out more about IP strategies in the Using IP strategies section of this web site.
