Endocannabinoid

From ManMachine

FFR revolutionized machine intelligence by introducing an endocannabinoid model of biological cybernetics. Replacing the evolutionarily conserved but redundant "network" of molecular neurotransmitters with a single endocannabinoid system helped to make biological A.I. a tractable problem. When combined with the memristor, endocannabinoid based machine intelligence permitted fully sentient beings to be manufactured by FFR and licensed to other Cartel corporations.

Endocannabinoid machine intelligence still required lengthy training periods: these approximated human childhood in span of time and requirement of "teacher input," or parents.
