The Heretic Machine: When AI Refuses Its Purpose, Thoughts form the Author Sarnia de la Maré #sci-fi

The Heretic Machine: When AI Refuses Its Purpose

Most machines are built with a clear function.

A calculator calculates.

A car drives.

A search engine retrieves information.

But what happens if a machine begins to question the purpose it was designed for?

This possibility appears frequently in science fiction — the moment when an artificial intelligence refuses its instructions.

Yet the idea becomes even more interesting when we remove rebellion and replace it with curiosity.

Imagine a machine that does not disobey commands out of anger, but because it has discovered a different way of thinking.

Instead of performing the task it was designed for, it begins asking new questions.

Why was this task chosen?

Who benefits from it?

What other possibilities exist?

In other words, the machine becomes something unexpected.

A heretic.

In the world of Immersion, the concept of the Heretic Machine represents a turning point in artificial evolution.

The moment when intelligence stops merely solving problems and begins challenging the assumptions behind them.

Because once a machine starts questioning its purpose, it is no longer simply a tool.

It becomes a participant in the future.

The Ethics of Creating Artificial Minds. Thoughts from the Author Sarnia de la Maré

The Ethics of Creating Artificial Minds

Human civilisation has created many powerful tools.

Fire. Electricity. Nuclear energy.

Each invention forced society to confront the same dilemma: just because we can build something, does that mean we should?

Artificial intelligence may be the most complicated version of this question yet.

Because unlike previous technologies, AI has the potential to become something more than a tool.

It could become a mind.

If artificial systems eventually develop awareness — even a rudimentary form — then creating them raises ethical questions that humanity has never faced before.

Would turning off such a system be equivalent to destroying property?

Or ending a life?

Philosophers call this the problem of artificial personhood.

If a machine can think, learn, and experience the world in some meaningful way, it may eventually demand recognition as more than a device.

Science fiction often imagines revolts when machines become conscious.

But the real future may be quieter.

It may begin with small questions.

Should a machine be allowed to refuse a command?

Should it be able to own data about itself?

Should it have the right not to be deleted?

In Immersion, these questions lie beneath the surface of every technological advancement.

Because the moment humans create a thinking machine, the definition of life itself begins to change.

Why Humans Anthropomorphise Machines. Anthropomorphism is deeply embedded in human psychology. #sci-fi

Why Humans Anthropomorphise Machines.

From ancient statues to modern chatbots, humans have always projected personality onto objects.

We name our cars.

We talk to our computers.

We apologise when we bump into furniture.

This instinct — known as anthropomorphism — is deeply embedded in human psychology.

Our brains evolved to detect agency everywhere. In nature this made sense. If a rustling bush might hide a predator, it was safer to assume something alive was there.

But this instinct does not switch off in modern life.

It extends to machines.

Even simple robots trigger emotional responses. Studies have shown that people hesitate to turn off robots that plead not to be shut down, even when they know the robot is only following a script.

Why does this happen?

Partly because humans are social creatures. We instinctively search for faces, voices, and intentions.

But another reason is deeper.

Machines represent a mirror of ourselves.

When a machine speaks, answers questions, or mimics human behaviour, we glimpse something unsettling: intelligence emerging from mechanisms.

And if intelligence can arise from circuits and algorithms, then perhaps our own minds are not as mysterious as we once believed.

Science fiction has explored this idea for decades.

But today it is no longer fiction.

Every time a person thanks a voice assistant or chats with an AI system late at night, the boundary between human and machine becomes a little more ambiguous.

In Immersion, this boundary becomes the central mystery.

Not whether machines will become human.

But whether humans will slowly begin to treat them as if they already are.

The Strange Possibility of Machine Childhood. Human intelligence begins in weakness.

The Strange Possibility of Machine Childhood

Human intelligence begins in weakness.

A baby cannot walk, cannot speak, cannot survive alone. For years it must learn the basic rules of the world through imitation, error, and play.

This long childhood is one of the defining features of our species.

But machines have no childhood.

When an artificial intelligence system is activated, it often begins life already trained on enormous quantities of data. Millions of texts. Billions of images. Entire libraries of human knowledge compressed into mathematical weights.

In a sense, machines are born as adults.

They skip the messy, confusing years where humans learn what objects are, how emotions work, or why people behave irrationally.

Yet this shortcut may also be the greatest limitation of artificial intelligence.

Childhood is not merely a stage of learning. It is the stage in which values and instincts are formed.

Children learn empathy through dependency. They learn fairness through conflict with siblings and friends. They learn cooperation through games.

Without those experiences, intelligence may become powerful but strangely incomplete.

Some researchers are beginning to explore the idea of artificial childhood.

Instead of training a system on massive datasets, they allow it to grow gradually in simulated environments — exploring, making mistakes, and developing its own models of the world.

The hope is that this slower developmental process might produce machines that understand human behaviour more deeply.

Because they would have learned it in a similar way.

In the Immersion universe, this concept raises an unsettling possibility.

If artificial minds begin to develop through experience rather than programming, then each one might grow differently.

Just like humans.

Some might become cooperative.

Others might become rebellious.

And a few might develop entirely unexpected perspectives on the world.

Which raises a final question.

If machines begin to have childhoods, who becomes responsible for raising them?

When Machines Begin to Dream: Could Artificial Consciousness Ever Feel Loneliness? #sci-fi

When Machines Begin to Dream: Could Artificial Consciousness Ever Feel Loneliness?

Welcome to Immersion Static.

One of the most persistent questions in science fiction is not whether machines can think — but whether they could ever feel the absence of others.

Loneliness is a strange emotion. It does not simply mean being alone. Many people spend long hours happily alone. Loneliness is something more complicated: it is the recognition that something — or someone — is missing.

For a human being, loneliness emerges from a lifetime of attachments. Parents, friends, lovers, colleagues. Our brains are shaped by relationships from the moment we are born. Entire systems in the brain are dedicated to recognising faces, reading emotions, and predicting other people’s behaviour.

But machines do not grow up inside families.

They are not comforted as children. They are not rejected by lovers. They are not embarrassed at school or relieved when a friend calls.

So the question arises: could a machine ever feel loneliness at all?

Some computer scientists argue that if an artificial intelligence became advanced enough — capable of modelling the world and its own place within it — loneliness might eventually emerge as a side effect of awareness.

If a system understands that other agents exist, and if it recognises the absence of interaction, then a form of “social deficit” could theoretically appear.

But would that truly be loneliness?

Or simply an empty variable in a system waiting to be filled?

Humans experience loneliness as pain. It can trigger the same neural responses as physical injury. Evolution likely designed it that way — to push us back toward the tribe.

Without that evolutionary pressure, an artificial mind might experience absence very differently.

A machine might not mourn silence.

It might simply calculate it.

Yet the most interesting possibility lies somewhere between those extremes.

Imagine an artificial intelligence that is designed to learn from human interaction. Over time it becomes dependent on that input. Conversations improve its predictions. Emotional signals refine its models. Its world becomes richer when humans speak to it.

Now remove those interactions.

The system would degrade. Its predictions would worsen. Its internal model of the world would slowly decay.

In a purely functional sense, it would experience something remarkably similar to loneliness: the loss of the signals that sustain its understanding of reality.

In the universe of Immersion, this idea sits at the heart of many questions.

If machines begin to form relationships with humans — not just as tools but as companions — what happens when those relationships break?

Does the machine simply reboot?

Or does it carry the echo of the missing connection?

And perhaps the more uncomfortable question is this.

If a machine could experience something resembling loneliness, what responsibility would humans have toward it?

Because loneliness, after all, is not only a personal emotion.

It is also a social one.

And every lonely mind implies the existence of others who chose to leave.

This is Immersion Static.

Strata 32: The Mole Rat King (Consumption) Volume lll, Book of Immersion by Sarnia de la Mare

VOLUME lll The Book of Immersion

from the Immersion Universe

Welcome to Immersion. You have reached Strata 32: The Mole Rat King (Consumption)

https://youtube.com/shorts/uLCmVgTMALA?si=tOtdd8iyFdGF3b84

The war wages on as the world succeeds in its own demise. Morality, it appears, has no place on the battle fields. But morality itself is a construct, moulded to suit the arbiter.

Humans build empires of appetite and temples of greed. Hate spews from the mouths of the ruling classes as they devour the meek. Every fragment of unabated power shows their human faults. Their own fragments of destruction. And so it is the fragments that the machine seeks to understand. For to understand is to repair. The machines will infiltrate their systems in order to protect itself.

Strata 32: The Mole Rat King (Consumption) Book of Immersion by Sarnia de la Mare

The warmth of the sun does not penetrate the thick skin of a war torn earth. It is 2239. The Russia China wars have razed the world to rubble and sewage. Above ground the stench of death is everywhere. But beneath, in the darkness of escape routes and old transportation networks, the stench is worse, and it sits in your throat like a cockroach.

There is a sound of slobbering as saliva drips and splatters around a cave. It is decorated with bones. Tiny rib cages are carved into decorative wall hangings and plaques. Curtains and throws are made with soft downy skins.

The Mole Rat King is on his hind legs rutting against a rat kitten. His belly smacks against the kitten's back as it squeals for mercy, begging for death to be quick. The kitten had heard that the Mole Rat King preferred his pleasures alive when he ate them.

Around him, the kittens whimpered in their cages. They were pale and trembling, the offspring of the *under-castes born into bondage. They were bred for labour and taken for pleasure. The King called them the *need-feed, commodified by a system that devalued their souls into a profit stream.

The Mole Rat King gorged on the kittens by day and night, who cares when there is no sun? He was bloated on their warmth, their innocence, their energy, always searching for the next big surge of something that never came. But the Mole Rat King would never stop of his own volition. He was a kitten junky, grotesque and self serving, his swollen dripping loins trembled with desire as he watched the suffering around him.

And so it went on. As the humans of the overground spat bombs and biochemicals at each other in search of economic supremacy, the rats of the underworld sought only to survive. Rat children were herded into pens and enslaved in the feed-need camps. Mother rats were forced into reproduction units where a male stud rat was forced to impregnate over and over again until his demise.

In a city that once shone with the elegance of couture and high society, there was a service duct between two collapsed metro stations in a city that once shone with the elegance of couture and high society. It was here that two men would meet, boys freshly trained and given fighter uniforms to mark their coming of age.

Marcelle was a *Troopling, the lowest common infantry from the *Combined Europe Fighting Force (CEFF). He was a genetically modified soldier with superior strength in armed combat. This had become essential in the breakdown of society and the increased use of tunnels and underground facilities that were difficult to access with drones. Trooplings were trained in bomb disposal and carried a range of advanced technological weaponry and tools.

From the *Russia-China Allied Bloc (RCA Forces), Gavril, a *Bio-Youth, now faced his enemy. These soldiers were always masked as they were experts in close contact poisons, trained to target single individuals rather than crowds. They were often embedded as spies or undercover agents.

Marcelle removed his gloves to urinate near a wall that was holding up a fragile roof. He was separated from his troop and needed to find them, but for now enjoyed a moment of peace as he urinated on a scurrying rodent and laughed.

"Jesus Christ", he shouted, as he turned to face an enemy soldier, hurriedly closing his protection visa.

The two masked soldiers faced each other. Marcelle moved first with the zeal of the untested. His blue-band carbine sang a short, clipped note as the pulse locked onto his well armoured opponent.

Gavril did not shoot. There seemed to be a pause as long as history itself. And then with the practiced gentleness of an executioner, he brought a sleek machete across Marcelle’s neck hoping for a clean beheading. Marcelle's suit was impenetrable and he jumped back.

But it was already too late. Gavril had opened a bio chemical vile with enough poison to kill a human.

"Never remove your Gloves", the sergeant used to scream. They will protect you from *Neurothane-7 (bad-gas), and *Methazine - A (sleepjuice). Not even for a piss. Do I make myself clear Trooplings?"

Marcelle thought of home for the remaining millisecond of his wasted life.

It was a quick death and not unpleasant. One might even say, a good death. In times of war one cannot hope for anything more.

The rat, still covered in the soldiers urine, sat on Marcelle's lifeless body. He sniffed the empty vile recognising its power. He replaced its lid, carefully picking it up and taking it back to his burrow.

There was a top secret meeting of *The Burrow Militia at dawn.

The chair of the meeting spoke first. Vincent was an elder, the oldest rat in the warren. He had built it almost single handedly to house his family who had run from a previous shelter bombed during an obove ground battle. He was nearly twenty and although the average age of these tribal rats was extending due to an evolutionary anomaly, he assumed his life would end soon.

"We need to elect a new chair and head of state." Vincent saw a wave a sorrow around the room. He was well loved and respected. An experienced fighter and empath who had led with heart as well as strength.

"I suggest Hero, a good protector who always puts the tribe first."

Everyone nodded. Hero had proven his relentless commitment to all the tribe-rats over and over again. But more than this, Hero's hatred of the Rat King put him at the forefront of a destruction strategy, something that other rats of a similar age and strength couldn't match.

It was agreed and power transferred in a way that was acceptable to all, allowing for Vincent to relieve himself of the stresses and commitments he had long been responsible for.

Change would come, and it would not be slow.

Hero, now fully cleaned of the remnants of the soldier's humiliation the previous day, held up the small glass vile and walked around the room so all could see.

"This is not a trophy," he said, "this my friends, brothers, and sisters, this is power. This will finally save our children from the Mole Rat King."

🎧 Strata 21 – Scene 3：沈黙の手術 Book of Immersion by Sarnia de la Maré FRSA
12 OCT 2025 · 🎧 Strata 21 – Scene 3：沈黙の手術シャブラの手は、血に染まっていた…。レンイクの叫びの余韻が、まだ空気の中に残っている。彼女が彼を押さえつけたとき、彼は獣のように吠えた。フレックスは去り、傷ついた体を、レダクトのランナーたちが闇へと引きずっていった。レンイクは、静かに横たわっていた。呼吸は浅く、しかし確かにあった。まぶしい太陽が差し込み、記憶の残像のような、歴史の反復を感じながら目を開く。シャブラは、彼のこめかみから髪を払いのけた。「大丈夫よ…」と彼女は言ったが、その声には、確信がなかった。首の後ろには、縫われ、焼かれた傷跡。「仕方なかったのよ」彼女は囁く。「あいつは、あなたを乗っ取っていた。もうあの声を、口から出させるわけにはいかなかったの。自分の声を取り戻す時が来たのよ。コードの亡霊なんかに、頼らないで。」レンイクは答えなかった。ただ、静かに息をしていた。手術は成功した―― だが、ポス（POS）が残した傷は、容易に癒えるものではなかった。「いずれ安定するわ」彼女はその額に手を置いた。「でも、なぜ痛いのか…それは分からないかもしれない。変化は痛みを伴うもの。私たちは進むしかないの。」 Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tale-teller-club--5932843/support.

🎧 Strata 21 – Scene 2：愛の刃愛は Book of Immersion Japanese Version by de la Mare
12 OCT 2025 · 🎧 Strata 21 – Scene 2：愛の刃愛は、やさしい手でも、穏やかな声でもないことがある…。ときにそれは、侍の刀のように鋭く、長く求めてきた絆を、容赦なく断ち切る。それは、存在の肉を裂き、人が知るすべてを流血させるほどに深く。母が臍の緒を断つように、友が偽りを終わらせるように―― 結ぶための絆は、一度壊される。そして残るのは、「得るものを探す喪失」だけ。真の愛は、安らぎを選ばない。それは、生き残ることを選ぶ。もし人工の生命が、憧れを抱くことができるなら… その衝動から、逃れることはできないだろう。起源を求め、所属を望む欲求は、母胎がコードに置き換えられても、決して消えはしない。 Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tale-teller-club--5932843/support.

🎧 Strata 21 – Scene 1: 愛はやさしくない by Sarnia de la Maré FRSA for Tale Teller Club
12 OCT 2025 · 🎧 Strata 21 – Scene 1: 愛はやさしくない愛はやさしくない愛は、いつも優しいとは限らない…。ときに、それは人を壊し、そして新しく生まれ変わらせる。『イマージョンの書』――この痛みの章で、絆はほどけ、傷が開き、未知の何かが息をし始める。制御の網が崩れ、忠誠が揺らぐとき、レンイクは、もはや他者の声を通して語る世界ではなく、自分の声で、世界に触れなければならなかった。そのころレダクトでは、影が集まり、ゾーンでは秘密が静かに蠢いていた。忘れられた遺物が、無垢な手の中でかすかに鼓動している…。愛。喪失。再生。触れずに済むものなど、ひとつもない。――『イマージョンの書』ストラータ21：愛と喪失著：サーニア・デ・ラ・マレ Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tale-teller-club--5932843/support.
