===Daodan self-defense and diagnostics=== | |||
What do you need for anti-cancer or anti-mutation tests in a Daodan? | |||
It would have been much easier to create a Daodan with an "on-board genome"* transforming all other human hosts into clones of Muro and Mai - then evolving into genetic individuals again. | |||
Hasegawa discarded this idea to avoid immuno-rejections, social confusion and the losing genetic diversity. Now evolution would be driven by the Daodan but he didn't wanted to act in hybris and lose dormant traits that might proof useful at a later time. His decision was enhanced by his education and political opinion on WCG. Diversity shouldn't be scarified for efficiency, history would show what works and what does not. (Although he was also unsatisfied with randomness being the decider - as also Jamie's dead looked random... "Sometimes there are only bad and solutions available.") | |||
* The Syndicate's mass-produced version works more like a collection of patches instead of an OS upgrade. | |||
Meanwhile Pensatore foresees that the host survival doesn't correlate with brain intelligence but the Daodan intelligence. During time, the Daodan would adapt to critical situations by sacrificing brain mass or functionality. The evolutionary weakness of the Daodan is its inability to think but to compute. Pensatore therefor sees mankind's future in the Omega-Chimera and the Biocracy. Hasegawa works and Pensatore's critics are much later used to create the Meta-Daodan (symbiont of the actual Daodan). | |||
At least Pensatore and Hasegawa agreed in one thing: independency. GOP was still a "too big" organization. It seemed impossible to them that the WCG would tolerate such ... experiment. With the ultimate technology any individual would be free to live without owning anything else rendering the WCG's promises for security and care-taking obsolete. | |||
Hasegawa's 'bad' solution: Random sampling of cells whereby the statistical mean defines the 'healthy' sequences. | |||
Mutations happen all the time so that the different genomes cannot be taken for an boolean answer. | |||
You rather have to compare the genes and other functional DNA sequences. | |||
Drawback: if the majority of cells is contained by a new stable mutation the other cells will be updated by that mutation as well. | |||
This rare case and (fallback 2) database-induced errors have to be resolved by recomputing the sequence in question which needs a static metamorphosis or the accumulated use of all available Oni clusters. | |||
75 percent of random sampling searches for typical cancer markers such as [https://arstechnica.com/science/2017/05/killing-cancer-cells-using-the-dna-that-drives-them/ driver mutations.] | |||
Special cases: | |||
Pendulum syndrome: cycling environmental influences keep the Daodan busy, theoretically not harmful but resource intensive. | |||
Fallback 1: [[wikipedia:Oncolytic_virus|oncolytic viruses]] in case of too high EM interference. In this case static metamorphosis drives skin cells to form an faraday cage. | |||
Fallback 2: an massively attacked Daodan forms a 'fixed' template for healthy cell types. These are then used to create new cells. The random sampling to skipped until the holobiont is stabilized again. | |||
