Yeah, I've done a bit of coding and some of the things I've gotten computers to do by accident has been interesting and that is why I wonder about what might be going on between the reported clock-ticks. I push buttons on a program and it takes a certain amount of time to open a file for example. Some random other time it will take ten times as long opening the same file. What happened?! Like was the computer in a bad mood? NO it was the Silicon Natives highjacking those clock ticks and I caught them!
I saw a program that connected an AI to haphazardly assembled servos and the parts had MEMs devices on them to track tilt and acceleration and the AI would create a model of itself and then do the thing it was told to do like move to a specific location. It would do this by moving its parts according to the model it built. What was funny about the sequence I watched was how the mechanical robot had four legs so I was expecting it to walk like a dog or something but instead it rolled three legs in and used the fourth to push off and roll towards the goal.
I've seen many examples of large programmable matter and I think they will eventually shrink it down to be useful at much higher resolution and that would create actual discreet units that in pair with a slightly damaged AI could rattle against itself and create its own goals and splinter into different actual robots that would develop purpose through an accidental process of trial and error.
