Electronic Human p.1

I've developed 4 steps to be used in the creation of electronic humans.

  1. Define Primary Functions

  2. Define Support Functions

  3. Create Inter-system Interaction Programs

  4. Input Initial System Parameters


Below I have listed both the primary and support functions. I have used Maslow's Hierarchal System of Needs because it produces a nice outline of what humans strive towards. In creating a human, the needs begin to become very difficult to articulate into logic, so I will not be spending a lot of time on them at the beginning, mostly just the physiological needs. Initial systems parameters are also going to be difficult to get into depth with, but we can do easier things like chance of genetic disability, and more baseline needs, but I suspect that these parameters will evolve as the entirety of the depth of the system evolves. Inter-system interactions will develop as the scope of the project develops, obviously the end will most likely be a series of virtual chemical reactions which is what I hope I can end on.

Primary Functions (Systems):

  1. Integumentary

  2. Skeletal

  3. Muscular

  4. Nervous

  5. Endocrine

  6. Circulatory

  7. Lymphatic

  8. Respiratory

  9. Digestive

  10. Urinary

  11. Reproductive



Support Functions:

  1. Physiological Needs

  2. Safety Needs

  3. Social Needs

  4. Needs for Esteem

  5. Needs for Self-Actualization

Thank you for giving this a look, and feel free to leave any comments!
