Mankind in its search for explanations of the phenomena that affect our lives has, with the obvious exception of modern medicine, failed to confront the fact that the body IS a machine. It is necessary to comprehend the implications of the mechanical nature of the body in order to understand the interrelation of the various components that make up human life, particularly the implications that involve the five senses and the way we perceive vibrations through them. I like the sound of what you're saying to me Mr. Gellert, the thing is that reaching this goal is near to impossible. Putting the human body (the human machine) in to a computer will probably make it obsolete this way.

You see, the human body is a machine consisting of many different, interconnected machines. Each machine (heart, lungs, intestines, etc.) runs at its own individual speed, but all function in a specific, predetermined relationship to each other. In this sense, the body is analogous to the most complicated man-made machines, such as fighter vessels or space capsules, which consist of many separately functioning components that are mechanically linked together, each of which, in itself, is a complete machine. In fact, the body is the most complex of all such compound machines. But unlike man-made machines, the various machines that make up the body are not in a rigid, inflexible, unchanging interrelation to each other. The flywheels and cogwheels of a watch or the parts of a transmission system of a space craft are in rigid interrelationship to each other. They either function at a prescribed ratio to each other, with little allowable tolerance, or they break. Not so the human body. Even with relatively great aberrations from what would be considered normal, it is still possible for the body to function and sustain meaningful life. If the components of the body greatly exceed the normal tolerances, the aberrations become so disruptive that they are usually experienced as sickness. But there is relatively great leeway in the ratio to each other of the functioning of the various interrelated separate organs. While these possible variations do affect the functioning of our bodies, determine our general feeling of well-being (nervousness, sluggishness, etc.), and limit (in the sense of defining the limits of) our sensory perceptions, they must vary quite far from the norm before someone would be either incapacitated or considered sick. But it is the subtle ways in which bodies that are functioning normally differ from each other, and the effect these differences have on the way we experience our five senses, that determine the differing qualities of our experiences. The human body can not accelerate to its maximum potential if you put it in a machine. Which is why such a feet is I believe to be impossible, or at least not possible with the current technology we have.

But, as I said before, I do like the idea which is why I'm going to fund your research with some resources, which should be enough for a light study program on that matter.

Make me proud, Doctor.
