 * higher energy efficiency - no electric current needed, less energy used

 ===What's the purpose of SLDs?===
-Of course androids of human-like intellect would have a high economic value. But in case of SLDs I think something else matters. They are robots with a mind and as such  they could be a tool to study intelligence in an mechanical environment. Hence the name "Simulated Life".
+I don't think it's a desirable goal to create an android that can just [[Quotes/Manual#TECH_NOTE_2|feel pain, breath, sweat, and eat]]* and ... ''So you are saying it can produce artificial shit, eh? Is that everything you were able to accomplished after spending our research budget of 100 million dollar?''
+Of course the real deal must be something else.
-: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_test#Real_intelligence_vs_simulated_intelligence Turing said:] "I do not wish to give the impression that I think there is no mystery about consciousness. There is, for instance, something of a paradox connected with any attempt to localise it."
+We have to ask why they didn't imitate another life form. Why not a bacteria, a plant, or an animal?
+: Side note: SLD are made of "artificial materials" and "micromechanical fabrication cells" and thus the basis is very unlikely to be DNA.
+So the SLD project wasn't about immune systems, metabolisms, and not primarily about somatic functions. What's the big difference between humans and other life forms on earth? In all modesty it seems that the human mind is our biggest and most interesting difference. And it's still a mystery.
-<font color="#AAAAAA">So, simulating life although we don't understand its creation fits into this logic. <u>Humans often often physical phenomena even before they fully understood them.</u> For instance, the atomic force for power plants or phase changing materials in in data discs. [http://www.scienceknowledge.org/2011/01/28/the-phase-change-materials-dvd-decrypted-by-the-super-computer/ (Eng)] [http://www.g-o.de/wissen-aktuell-13372-2011-05-04.html (Ger)]<!--alternativ: http://kefk.org/forschung/physik/phase.change.materials.datenspeicher.mit.langzeit.gedaechtnis--> <u>Making things work is sometimes enough.</u></font> (revision needed)
+The SLD researchers admit it: "One thing we [[Quotes/Consoles/level_3b |still cannot do]] is create an artificial system that adequately simulates the processes of the human mind."
-According to wikipedia the idea of artificial intelligence was born [[wikipedia:History_of_artificial_intelligence#The_birth_of_artificial_intelligence_1943.E2.88.921956|in 1943]] and since then many scientists have tried to create an AI. There are some different attempts to program an AI. So far no attempt succeeded.
+That could be related to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_test#Real_intelligence_vs_simulated_intelligence Turing word:] "I do not wish to give the impression that I think there is no mystery about consciousness. There is, for instance, something of a paradox connected with any attempt to localise it."
-Also mind-uploading is considered as an approach for an AI. In Oni's timeline mind-uploading could already exist if you have an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strong_AI#Processing_requirements_for_low-level_brain_emulation optimistic view] onto things. (However, the existence of "deadly brains" let assume that AIs are still in development otherwise DBs would be obsolete.)
+So the solution seems to somewhat (if not entirely) copy an already existing brain.
-: "One thing we [[Quotes/Consoles/level_3b|still cannot do]] is create an artificial system that adequately simulates the processes of the human mind."
+In Oni "brain engrams" gave the SLD androids a mind and that way they could be a tool to study intelligence in an mechanical environment.
 With the obtained data, the mind doesn't need to become ''reinvented'' but analyzed. After the phase of analysis a true artificial intelligence could be designed.
-The third part of the abbreviation has a bit less obvious meaning. "Doll" basically refers to the environment of the simulated life but there are other terms they could have used. Is it possible that the name was influenced by "ghost in the shell"? In this case it's not possible to draw the connection because the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_in_the_Shell_2:_Innocence second GITS movie] with dolls as topic was published (2004) after Oni (2001).
+: Another side note: SLD brain engrams involves coping of brain information and that looks very similar to what is called mind uploading. That again is thought to be an approach to AIs. Ergo, in Oni AIs might be near although the Syndicate developed Deadly Brains. DB would be obsolete if AIs would already exist. Or maybe those are much more expensive...
+However, the abilities* claimed in the manual could be requirements for the SLD brain/mind to work normally because it simply awaits some body functions.
+Their food could be raw material for regeneration and a compounds of hydrogen and oxygen from which they can transform chemical energy to electric current. Their sweat then could be pure water from the reaction chemical reaction from inside the fuel cell.
