aHuman Project

aHuman Project started in 2008 to create alive being by means of a computer
After a while it became clear that project belongs to Artificial Life area and to some extent it is attempt to be a God

Artificial Life area consists of wet (biological), hard (robotics) and soft (aHuman case) subdivisions
Soft Artificial Life can be achieved using biological architecture or somehow else
Any non-biological approach looks to me quite unreliable because it is easy to fall into looking like alive while not being it
Biological approach means that we treat human nervous system as mind on brain, where mind is its architecture and brain is wet matter to implement this architecture (like software on hardware)
Using biological architecture is hard because mountains of biological data are not adopted to the task and because human mind is still unsolved issue
Nevertheless, neurobiology knows almost everything about human mind, with increasing progress last years, and it is hard but reasonable way
Finally - aHuman tries to construct creature having the same architectural approach as human but with different sensors and effectors
So we are not going to be smarter than God

aHuman project (genetics) is a platform able to construct and run various targets
If succeeded, aHuman can lead to creating (just possible targets):
- aWee - "personal" (being a person) computer, which is your assistant and friend
- aYou - make a copy of yourself using Theory of Mind (somehow transhumanistic idea)
- aPet - make realistic dog or cat to play with
Business applications can be industrial control, fair sales and so on
Like previous hosting on googlecode (buried, thanks to Google managers), project uses bidirectional svn mapping of site pages (http://usvn.ahuman.org/svn/ahwiki)

Developments efforts has led to approach of using declarative model and biological model of human, in fact great pass-by-product
Biological model is integration of most data of neurobiology and the only source of information, presenting recent data in a consistent manner
Creating biological model was possible due to IT-experience and long-term directed efforts of collecting and integrating data, resulting in several key insights which make it possible to create model
Declarative model allows to generate structured information presentations and use biological data directly by AL-engine
Half of this site is created from biological model using specific platform target (http://usvn.ahuman.org/svn/ahengine/trunk_HLAv3/target/aHuman)
Current activity is devoted to creating aWee target (http://usvn.ahuman.org/svn/ahengine/trunk_HLAv3/target/aWee) to make use of biological model to build AL
