TEAME ZAZZU - Zombies: Drones without Humanity by Teame Zazzu on Wednesday, February 1, 2012 at 8:40pm

ABSTRACT -

The term "zombie" primarily refers to the continued or spontaneous malicious operation of a system, biological or machine, that appears to approximate functions under human operation but lacks the soul, willpower or humanity, typically present during the operation.

The common threads present in any of these definitions of zombie include:

1) Mindless - unthinking, unquestioning, compliant

2) Parasitic - requires host system

3) Bereft of self awareness or consciousness - a key lack of humanity or life essence

4) Preform malicious tasks - computer viruses, Predator drones and undead humans all preform malign tasks disruptive to humans

5) Under malign remote control or malicious per-defined autonomy - lack of free will, conscience or willpower

6) Host is unaware of zombie behavior - ignorance of effect on society and a lack of consciousness of its place in the larger Multi-Agent System

Zombies may be non-biological entities, Multi-Agent systems, killer robots or crazed undead humans. The important aspect of a zombie is that it is a malicious, parasitic predator without a conscience or ability to make free decisions. A shell with the ability to act, but without the ability to choose.

The definition of "zombie" must evolve to include the emergence of phenomenon created in the digital age. "Zombie" must include machine networks or cyborg Multi-Agent Systems, drone robots and other unmanned or autonomous machines, and malicious software and zombie bots in cyberspace, in addition to the typical humans undergoing demonic possession, psychopharmacologically induced psychosis or virulent biologically transmitted diseases. The term Zombie therefore refers to the observed behavior or presentation, rather then to the etiology of the disorder.

The term "zombie" has traditionally been utilized to refer to dead humans who have returned to life and are typically depicted as mindless, reanimated corpses with a hunger for human flesh, and in some cases, human brains in particular. This zombie demonstrates a parasitic organism as it requires uninfected humans to perpetuate.

Zombie (Haitian Creole: zonbi; North Mbundu: nzumbe) is a term used to denote an animated corpse brought back to life by mystical means, such as witchcraft. The term is often figuratively applied to describe a hypnotized person bereft of consciousness and self-awareness, yet ambulant and able to respond to surrounding stimuli. More recently, this term has also come to encompass virulent biological disorders and mental health disorders. Unawareness and a lack of free will are key concepts of the biological form of zombie disorder.

In computer science, a zombie is a computer connected to the Internet that has been compromised by a cracker, computer virus or trojan horse and can be used to perform malicious tasks of one sort or another under remote direction. Botnets of zombie computers are often used to spread e-mail spam and launch denial-of-service attacks. Most owners of zombie computers are unaware that their system is being used in this way. Because the owner tends to be unaware, these computers are metaphorically compared to zombies.

In Drone warfare, a zombie may specifically be an aircraft previously piloted by a human but converted to operate without a pilot, or a mothballed plane converted to a UAV. The QF-4 conversion adds a digital control system for remote operation of the aircraft’s steering, throttles, flaps, landing gear, brakes, braking parachute, and tailhook. Also fitted are a vector Doppler scoring system, transponder, second autopilot, and GPS for navigation and formation-keeping in remote flight.

The removal of the place for a human from the airframe and absence of humanity inside the logic center appears to be what makes this plane a zombie. The machine becomes soulless. In truth, all drones are zombies. Independent action without independent will. Mind-controlled.
