Soft Cybernetics ? The New Alchemy?
By our science correspondent
Are we about to see first human robots? Can scientists create zombies?
?Soft Cybernetics? is a controversial new approach to the problem of creatingintelligent systems, provides new ways to solve the problems of micro-behaviourmanagement.
To date cybernetics has focused on the use of feed-back and control mechanismsto produce self-regulating systems using electromechanical devices. More recently,research work suggests that many of the problems associated with programmingthese devices can be solved by the use of biological organisms as an alternativeto mechanisms. The combination of cloning technologies with soft-cyberneticsoffers the possibility of pre-programmed, designer life forms, able to carryout specific tasks or roles. Early experimentation in this field has attractedconsiderable ethical debate.
As one of the chief proponents of the concept, Dr Stuart Waring, of the Universityof Central England , is exploring the implications of soft-cybernetics throughthe use of a series of ?thought-experiments? which examine the consequencesof cybernetic intervention to adjust the behaviours of biological organisms.These thought-experiments alone have given rise to serious objections froma wide range of groups concerned about both animal and human rights.
Most recently the proposition by Waring and his collaborator, Dr Anna Fedorovaof the Leningrad Centre for Neuroscience, that using by-products of effectsof specific forms of synesthesia (where information perceived by one sensegives rise to a sensation in another - for example where numbers are seen ascolours) has created alarm that behavioural engineering may become as controversialas its genetic cousin.

Chapter 1: The Colour of Numbers
I see numbers in my head. And I know what they mean. Some people can hearcolours. I see numbers. Suddenly. A seven. Or a four. And I know what theymean.
There aren't many numbers. Only zero to nine. But I see them. Bright; sudden;there in my mind; blotting out everything else.
I haven't always been able to do this. It is new for me. Since I came here,to the house. Before I came I couldn't see the numbers but now I can. I don'tremember anything else before I came but I do know I couldn't see the numbers.
I can see a one. It's green. It's very bright. I know I have to find him.He is somewhere in the house and I have to find him. Where ever he is I haveto go there. That's what it means when I see the one.
I find him in the library. He is with a woman. He smiles as I arrive and turnsto her. ?There, you see,? he says. ?Now do you believe me??
?That doesn't prove anything,? she replies. ?There could be a bell, or a light.Remotely controlled. You might have agreed what she was to do.?
I just stand there, listening, watching, waiting. There isn't anything forme to do. I have done what I had to do. I have found him.
?You try,? he says. He passes a box to the woman. The box has buttons on it.
?OK, but not from here. She might watch me. I'll leave the room. Then we'llsee.? She gets up and goes out. The man is smiling at me. He doesn't say anything.
I see a five. It's purple. I have to undress. I take off my dress; my underwear;my shoes; my stockings. I'm naked. I have done what I had to do.
The woman comes back in. ?OK,? she says. ?What else. Could be a lucky guess ? there'sonly ten buttons. You could be colluding.?
?Why do you think she would? Believe me this works.?
The woman turns her back to me. ?Yeah, maybe,? she says. I see a six. It'swhite. I start to dress again. Six means I must put on the clothes I see.
The woman sits down. She hands the box back to the man. ?Could be interesting,? shesays, ?if it's for real.?
?Oh, it's real,? he replies. He juggles the box in his hand. ?Would I lieto you??
I have finished dressing. Suddenly I see a two. It's yellow, a wonderful,bright, clean, yellow. I know now that I have to go back to my room. That'swhat a two means. I wonder if the box has anything to do with the numbers?
Chapter 2: Friends
The woman is called Dr Anna. The man is called Dr Stuart. I sometimes thinkI knew them before I came here to the house, but I am not sure. Dr Anna andDr Stuart have explained they are my friends. They say they are my friendsbut I am not sure. I feel there is some reason why I should not trust thembut I cannot say what it is.
They say that they are here to help me with my numbers. If that is so theymust be my friends. They know that I see the numbers and that I have to dowhat they tell me. They explain that this is good; that I will feel happy whenI do what the numbers tell me to do.
I know this to be true. Perhaps they are my friends after all.
The numbers only tell me to do simple things at the moment. Dr Stuart tellsme this is quite normal. He says I need to get used to the simple tasks first.I don't know why I must get used to it. I don't know why I do what the numberstell me. But I do. And it makes me happy. I don't know why I do nothing apartfrom what the numbers tell me. But that is true as well.
Dr Anna is interested in how I feel about the numbers. I tell her that theyare bright; that I like the light and the colours. She asks me how I feel aboutthe tasks. I tell her that I am happy when I am asked to do them. When I finishthem I know I have done what the numbers wanted. I believe that should makeme happy too.
She asks me if I ever feel that I should not do a task but I explain thatthe tasks are easy to do and so there is no reason why I would not do whatthe numbers ask of me. Besides it makes me happy when I see the numbers, makesme happy when I do the tasks. Dr Anna is worried in case I am sad when I cannotsee the numbers. I tell her that isn't so. I am happy when I see the numbersbut I am not sad when they are not there. It's just that when there are nonumbers, there is nothing. No happiness, no sadness, nothing to do, nothing.Except to wait for the numbers.
Dr Anna writes all my answers down. I wonder if she has numbers to tell herwhat to do?
Dr Stuart shows me the box. It is small and dark with many buttons on it.It has a small display. It looks a little like the telephones I sometimes seeDr Stuart and Dr Anna using, but it is larger. He tells me that this is wherethe numbers come from. He says he will take great care of the box so that Ican feel safe. Only Dr Stuart or Dr Anna understands the box. Only they knowhow to make the numbers come. I feel safe as long as I can see the numbers.Safe and happy. I am only scared that the numbers will not come any more. Thenwhat would I do?
If Dr Stuart and Dr Anna can make sure the numbers come then they must bemy friends.
Chapter 3: Number 8
I am lying on my bed. I see the number 8. It's blue, a very peaceful blue.It tells me to sleep. I am doing my best. Dr Stuart and Dr Anna come into theroom. They are concerned about me. I hear them talking.
?She seems to be settled now.?
?Yes, I am pleased with how well she has recovered from the surgery. The connectorseems to be healing well.?
?The bruises on her wrists and ankles are going down.?
?Yes. They will be gone in a few days. It was a shame that I had to restrainher but I wasn't sure how she would react. It wasn't a problem as it turnedout but I'm not sure I could have predicted it.?
Dr Stuart lifts the sheet that covers me and looks down at my naked body.There is no need for me to move. ?I am particularly pleased at how well thesynesthesia appears to have been taken up,? he says. ?It seems to work in bothways as predicted ? the linkage between stimuli and response is fully effectiveand the absence of stimulus results in complete quiescence.? He drops the sheet.
?So, what next??
?The difficulty is in the tasks, I think. They seem to be of two kinds. Thevery simple that require constant intervention or the very complex that havetoo many variables. There needs to be a simpler way of structuring the tasks.There is something we can try, though. I have an idea.?
It is good that Dr Stuart and Dr Anna show such concern. I am pleased thatthey are helping with the tasks. I haven't found it hard to do the tasks sofar but what would happen if the numbers told me to do something I could notdo? I find that scares me. I whimper.
?Hush, Natalie,? Dr Anna, tries to reassure me. ?Hush. It's all right. Sleepnow.?
I try to sleep. The numbers told me to sleep. I've been having nightmares.Dreams about before; before I came to the house; before I could see the numbers.
In the nightmares, Dr Stuart and Dr Anna are not my friends. They come tomy room while I am sitting at a desk. I am swallowed up in a cloth. They pullthe cloth over me. I cannot see them. I cannot move. I cannot speak. Dr Stuartand Dr Anna are talking but I cannot speak. I struggle but I cannot move. Icry out but there is no sound. Why do my friends do this to me? I fall asleep.And then I wake up.
I am in a white room. The light is bright. As bright as the numbers in myhead but the light is above me. There are wizards in white. I cannot see theirfaces. They say, ?It's all right Natalie.? They tell me not to be afraid butsomehow I am.
I am still afraid as I fall asleep again. It is frightening to fall asleepwhen in a dream. How can I know that I am awake now? Or that I am dreamingnow? Or that I was dreaming then?
At least I am sure the numbers are real. They are so bright and so clear andso colourful. The numbers are too real to be dreams. The tasks are too realto be dreams.
