"Articulation of the problem is a beginning" -p.d.adams
The Design
Standing at the workstation with her algorithms on full computational mode, she hears Cooper's voice, "Optical photonic computers see humans as strange." True, Suzi is a cadmium, titanium oxide design, too heavy for security work by all accounts. She was commissioned into the medical profession because of her quickness. For a while, identifying rogue malignant lesions (the last persistent artifact of ancient human disease) in young patients made Suzi behavior driven She was learning all she could about digital enhanced fitness reclusion of strangers' traits(D.E.F.R.O.S.T.)--the times and conditions required for fitness loss due to human analog behaviors instigating termination systems(H.A.B.I.T.S.)
"Sure," Carter says. "She can perform trillions of calculations."
"That's a relatively normal function for a robot," Cooper says.
"That's true, except …"
"Except?"
"Her simultaneity."
"Simultaneity?"
"Yes. Her crystal circuitry allows her to perform functions instantaneously."
"So what's the problem?"
"She's not programmable. She operates on only the configuration given her according to the computational elements of her optical logic."
"Which means?"
"She recognizes patterns as humans do--her parallax circuitry resembles ours--the difference is, her speed."
Compared to Suzi, even the brightest Human mind is one increment above stupid. She lives and breathes the sub molecular world.
