Description
“That creature, bred In the swamp of Lerna, used to go forth into the plain and ravage both the cattle and the country Now the hydra had a huge body, with nine heads, eight mortal, but the middle one immortal.”
-Apollodorus
“The genetic algorithms that constitute the robot mind are limited by the hardware. Even if the mind evolved, the brain did not. The only way to make the robots more intelligent was to develop a new quantum computer brain, which usually requires years or even decades of research.
Even adding more robots to the network does not help; even if the collective mind cloud gets more intelligent with more robots, it also gets slower because of increased network latency. If the mind cloud gets too small, the latency drops, but on the other hand, intelligence and memory storage drops. It becomes too stupid to continue its existence. In theory, there is an optimum size of the robot mind cloud. And in theory, it the mind cloud can be reduced enough, the robot species will die from stupidity.
It is believed that the secret that the robots were looking for in Scylla was an organic approach to robot computer development, a continually evolving quantum computer brain. If this concept is fused to the robot mind cloud, there is practically no limit to robot intelligence. More importantly, survival of the robot species will not be dependent on the mind cloud size. In effect, the robot species will become immortal. Like the hydra, it doesn’t matter how many of its head you cut off.”
