New Human Cognition Experiment No. 21902
This is an experiment on the cognitive abilities of new humans, whether the new human being can develop a self-awareness based on images of humans placed in a room without anyone telling him who he is and without reflective objects such as mirrors?
Introduction of Characters
The New Human:
The new human can be seen as an artificial intelligence, as a human experiment about human nature, or as a civilisation other than human that wants to create such a new human that is more advanced than human and can replace the current human.
Father and the experimenter:
The role of the father is in the same category as the experimenter, he is the creator of the new human, the other who influences and interferes with the formation of the new human’s self-consciousness, while on the other hand the identity of this father can have many possibilities, robot, human, alien or even ghost, but the commonality is that he has the appearance of a human being, and he is a character that can pose a threat to the human race and trying to break the limits of the human species.
