This is occuring not because of villainous masterminds concocting an evil plan for world domination, it is an emergent phenomenon of the information age. Where as life is an [[We|emergent function of the universe]], so too are machines in the information age. In abiogenesis, started with the primordial soup of binary housed in a computer and now has grown into the various cybernetic systems which regulate our economy. | This is occuring not because of villainous masterminds concocting an evil plan for world domination, it is an emergent phenomenon of the information age.

The majority of incorporation statements codify the fiduciary duty of the parts of the machine, which in over 99% of cases is the pursuit of revenue with the reduction of costs excluding environmental externalities. | The majority of incorporation statements codify the fiduciary duty of the parts of the machine, which in over 99% of cases is the pursuit of revenue with the reduction of costs excluding environmental externalities. At this point, the [[relativity of ethics]] comes into play. ''Do all machines ignore externalities and are intent on destroying the earth?'' ''Is a gun bad?'' | ||
At this point it is a good idea to define the difference between a tool and a machine: | |||
"As nouns the difference between machine and tool is that machine is a device that directs and controls energy, often in the form of movement or electricity, to produce a certain effect while tool is (senseid)a mechanical device intended to make a task easier." | |||
A machine is a more advanced tool as it direct energy to produce a certain effect, it has a more refined embedded purpose opposed to a tool. It is this embedded purpose embeded at conception of the machine that makes it good or bad. In the context of a machine, this depends on its founding heuristics which are found in it incorporation statement. | |||
