About the project

CyBeRev means cybernetic beingness revival. The purpose of the CyBeRev project is to prevent death by preserving sufficient digital information about a person so that recovery remains possible by foreseeable technology. Terasem Movement believes that future technology will be able to recover full functionality for CyBeRev people. (Read more)

The first step toward achieving that goal, and the purpose of this website, is for participants to store digital reflections of their mannerisms, personality, recollections, feelings, beliefs, attitudes and values with as great a fidelity as is possible.

Participants can store digital reflections in a variety of formats, including:

  • Photos
  • Videos
  • Text documents
  • Audio recordings
  • Favorites
  • Personality tests

Participants can then choose to share some or all of their information with others through the Visit Reflections feature of the project.

Availability

The first version of the project is currently in the alpha testing phase. Soon the project will be open to a limited number of participants to evaluate and test the functionality of the website as part of the beta testing phase. This phase is expected to begin in February 2007.

The service is free and open to anyone over the age of 13.

Future

Terasem Movement is continuing to develop new ways to store digital reflections and will release these tools once they are fully tested. In addition, TMI is continually enchancing the current tools and functionality of the site.

Hypotheses

Please read the Terasem Hypotheses and Mission statement

 

" AI's in the future will be able to recreate people from the information
left behind about them if suitable backups of their brain were not made (in
which case it would be straightforward). Neural nanobots would obtain all the
available information about them from other people's brains. The AI would
also consider all of the person's writings, pictures, movies, etc. Also
their genetic code. And it could then create a person who would pass a
Turing test for that person with their best friends as the judges. For that
reason it is worthwhile keeping your own files -- letters, emails, photos,
writings, etc.
Is this recreated person the same person? It is an interesting question,
but we could also ask today are we the same person as we were, say, a year
ago. The recreated person by the AI is probably at least as close as we are
to ourselves after some time passage."
