And in living organisms and machines, slot machines are sensitive organs. The ears, eyes - a man, microphones, and solar cells - the car. They communicate with the outside world. As for those, and others have the control center that determines the order of actions in accordance with the information that is received from the outside. As those and other actuators have operating instructions emanating from the "center".
Sensitive parts of the machine, or, as they are called, sensors, automation is engaged in science. The executive bodies of cars - is also one of its sections. Management tasks to machines, as well as problems of information exchange between its individual parts are responsible for cybernetics.
"The processes of governance, no matter where they proceeded - in living organisms, machines, or a society - occur on the same laws", - declared cybernetics. So, those are still not known even to the end, the processes that occur in a person's mind and allow it to flexibly adapt to changing circumstances, can be reproduced artificially in a complex automated devices.
What can prevent a person to create a cybernetic machine, which, like the brain will think for themselves?
In contrast to the human cybernetic machine would be perfect as it was, need a program of action. The machine created by man and can only do that for her it programmed.
Is it not possible to provide a program of the machine in advance all the way down to the smallest detail? No, I just cannot foresee. It would be possible if we were talking about a subject that has quite a number of attributes, each of which can be modeled and reproduced in the car. But the human brain has an infinite number of properties. Create it artificially reproducing separately each of these properties is of course impossible. You cannot take into account all the features (although they are subject to the laws of physics!) If they are infinite. In addition, the human brain in the process of life is constantly being improved.
A cybernetic machine is able to perform the mental functions of man, which can be formalized, that is recorded by a finite number of finite formulas. For example, the machine may well be considered, because the calculations are generally easy to write with the help of the formulas.
Even today, man-made electronic computers not only replace humans, but also far ahead of him in the counting rate. If the employee is capable of counting one second to make one or at most two arithmetic operations, the machine makes hundreds of thousands of them!
