Many fear that this transition, this growth emergence of technology into consciousness, will be invisible. What if the government's computer network independently decides to lob a few warheads over to Russia, perhaps for little more than entertainment.
Humans have little comprehension of what's going on behind that glass monitor.
The answer lies in quantum mechanics. Let me first explain what quantum mechanics is. Relative aspects of QM can be envisioned most clearly and intuitively through the use of a mental model designed by the late Charles Schroedinger called Schroedinger's Cat. Quantum effects are usually confined to the scale of the atom. Whether a particle follows one path or another can be predicted through probability, but particular cases are inherently unobservable.
