A pulse is a pulse is a pulse. Electrons chasing each other. To Mike, whole world was variable series of electrical pulses, sent or received or chasing around his innards.
Mike, being a super intelligent AI can see the world as it really is. Is there really any fundamental difference between his ‘pulse’ and ours which just pump blood through our veins. Is there really any reason to believe that organic and nonorganic sentient life forms should be treated differently? Is there really a strong argument to distinguish the organic and nonorganic considering they are both made up of atoms? Isn’t matter just a form of energy?
