| Direction: Study the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below: |
| To start off we should imagine that either distant future humans or an advanced race of aliens could manufacture code and start a supercomputer that could simulate a whole separate universe. If this is so who is saying that our descendants would not try to do that one day? And more importantly how would we know that we are not currently living in one. This perception is important because it makes people question the very foundations of what they know to be true as it makes people think about how disconnected they are from the real world. If we want a computer simulation to process a human's mind down to a perfect detail and for each person in the simulation to truly be their own cognitive person then we need a Substrate-Independent mind. This is the idea that our minds are not limited to only being our brain cells, but that we can transfer our minds or create others to exist in other ways, for our example as a computer program. Of course, this isnt necessary; the post humans could program a neural network to act just like a human. |
A) Supercomputers neural network
B) Descendants of the aliens and substrate
C) Non native beings on the earth as they are unique
D) Simulator for distinct future simulation codes
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
(c)| 1. Criteria reasoning |
| 2. Assumption |
| 3. Object and Function Analogy |
| The passage describes that the human should imagine that either distant future humans or an advanced race of aliens could manufacture code and start a supercomputer that could simulate a whole separate universe. |
