Enoch, Emmet, and the Most Excellent Playground

I’ve been doing another SketchUp tutorial, and it predictably devolved into holo rambling. So now you all get subjected to that 😋

The software I’ve been using to model La Sirena’s furniture (and eventually general interior) is called SketchUp. They have tutorials that teach you how to use all the functions, and once they explain how to Do The Things, it’s actually really straightforward.

The examples they use to teach you things are often playground structures, because there is a lot of variety of shape in those, but also a decent amount of repetition, so you get to try a lot of things.

In the Fundamentals Practice course I did today, you follow along creating this structure (colour choice mine):

[ID: a screenshot of a 3D model of a playground structure. There are three platforms with roofs above them and railings around one of them. The platforms are connected by a bridge, and there are various steps, railings and climbing structures spread around the model. Slides curve gently down from two of the platforms. The model is coloured in very spacey blues, purples, greys, and turqouise. /end ID]

I sent an early stage of this model to @regionalpancake​, and she was confused for a moment, trying to figure out what part of La Sirena I was currently modelling. So, my brain being my brain, it immediately came up with the following:

This is obviously a model of a holodeck programme. Enoch, when he’s not on duty as ship’s navigator, has a whole lot of hobbies, from citizen science to knitting (which Ian is teaching him). One of the things he occasionally spends his time on is designing playground structures on the holodeck.

They’re obviously a lot spacier and more exciting than the one above, but Enoch believes in learning things “from scratch” rather than importing some design skill libraries, so even he started small and humble. (Though if your brain is literally a supercomputer, that gives you quite the leg up on the learning curve.)

The other holos may or may not know about this, but it’s just one of the ways they each have taken up to pass the time in the boring depths of space, so it’s not particularly noteworthy to any of them - except Emmet.

Emmet occasionally loads up Enoch’s designs when he’s sure nobody else is active or going to use the holodeck anytime soon. He's especially fond of elaborate slides, ball pits, and the anti-grav mazes where you have to make your way past obstacles in close to 0G (Don’t worry, those have excellent failsaves if there should ever be a power outage and are also equipped with dampening fields that will prevent anyone from gaining too much speed or bumping into the walls with too much force.)

Of course, Emmet would never admit any of this if his life depended on it!

Enoch regularly tests the efficacy of his designs by generating a set of diverse, low-resolution child simulations and setting them loose on the playground (think a mix of holographic crashtest dummies, focus group, and sims. They look like children in a slightly blurry photo might. Rios finds them creepy as fuck). Because Enoch is a good little scientist, he’ll have some monitoring routines running in the background, collecting data, so he can evaluate his designs and make changes accordingly.

One day, he is called away from a test-run of his latest design by an engineering emergency. He shuts off the holodeck, but in the chaos he forgets that he still had the monitoring routine running in the background.

When the chaos is over and he finally finds time to return to his playground design programme a few days later, he makes a startling discovery: The monitoring routine was activated the night before, when someone else ran the programme. To his astonishment, Enoch discovers that Emmet spent three hours on his holographic playground, a good portion of which was apparently spent on trying to teach one of the simulated children to do cartwheels on the sring-floor section of the playground.

From then on, Enoch keeps the monitoring routine running whenever he finishes one of his designs and shuts down the programme. While Emmet doesn’t run the playground programmes that frequently, over time Enoch slowly optimizes his structures to include all the things the ETH enjoys the most.

He tries to be very subtle about it, so Emmet will think it’s a coincidence. Of course, his attempts fail miserably because “subtle” is not one of Enoch’s strong suits.

Emmet notices fairly quickly that Enoch must have some way of observing him, and uses this knowledge to strategically coax him into stretch his design abilities. Both because Emmet likes how Enoch is putting so much effort into developing his skills, and because it means he gets to explore amazing structures.

Enoch still doesn’t know Emmet has found him out and is directing his building efforts on purpose, because Emmet does know how to do subtle.

They still haven’t spoken about any of this to anyone, least of all each other, and it’s entirely possible that they never will. But the nonprofit organization building low-cost high-quality playgrounds in under-privileged communities all throughout the former Neutral Zone sure appreciates the slow but steady supply of new designs being donated by the anonymous architect N.H.

Author’s Note

If you’ve made it all the way to the end, I assume you are as much of a holo-fan as I am. I occasionally have these outbursts of holo-creativity, prompted by the most ridiculous things (in this case: playground model on La Sirena, but preivous contenders include: “Not being able to find my keys” -> “I wonder how each of the holos would help you search for something you’ve misplaced”; “Rios should have a real walkman :D” -> An honest-to-god ficlet, though that one was only marginally holo-focused; An (absolutely gorgeous!) drawing of Enoch wearing Emmet’s vest for Haloween -> a screed about ho clothing works for holograms).

I love writing these, and I’m always looking for prompts and excuses. So if you’re bored and would like to read some slap-dash holo-commentary (with no guarantee as to whether it will take me a few hours or many months to reply), feel free to send me prompts.

Can be anything from “Do the holos need to sleep in any way shape or form?” to “Ian needs a fish” to “holo squad +🎆”, and you may get anything from a long, rambly, techno-babble laden think-piece to short spiffy dialogue in return - unless you ask for something specific ;)

SEND ME PROMTS 😁

//Rios & the Holo Squad Encounter Tribbles:

Okay, so my figuring: Enoch would LOVE them. Steward would hate them because they get everywhere. Emmet would be disgruntled at first but see how much they bug Steward and suddenly he can't get enough of them, plus their purring is very calming and he just falls asleep in a pile of them. Emil would be advocating for them at first because "their calming nature can be beneficial to mental health" and Ian thinks they're cute but if they get in the warp core he will show no mercy. Ian thinks they're cute from a distance. Then they start taking over the ship and Emil and Ian turn on them

Emil: "we need to get rid of the tribbles"  Enoch: "I don't see a problem. They're so cute!"  Emil: "they're getting into my supplies"  Steward: "They're everywhere and there's so many of them"  Ian: "They're messing up the replicators and I ken they're trying to get into the warp core"  Emmet: "A mi me gustan esas weaítas" (I like those little "things”) Steward: "no one asked you"

(Thanks @littlebro-williams! <3)

Rios definitely doesn't want them all over his damn ship but they're soft and they keep purring at him and ??? there's just something very comforting about that, so... He has mixed feelings. You can't really have tribbles in small dosages, at least not for long, so he'd prefer to keep the extremely cute small furballs away from him and his ship. He doesn't need that temptation. He's with Ian. They're cute from a distance, or like one. If you can keep it as just one, which is damn near impossible so it's better to have none

@plaktow-ed suggested Rios sits on a tribble in the captain's chair like Kirk did

Cris talks to that tribble he sits on in the captain's chair. Just an instinctual "I'm sorry" when it squeaks at him and then he's like "then don't sit in the captain's chair. This is my spot" later, he finds that same tribble in the captain's chair again. "Do you want to be captain of this ship? Okay fine, you be captain" he sits in one of the other chairs and starts reading with his feet up on the console. Emil comes in "captain, the tribbles are getting into my supplies" Cris: "I'm off-duty, please address Acting Captain Fluffball with any concerns" *points to the tribble in the captain's chair*

He also mutters in Spanish @ the tribbles a lot

Cris gets unreasonably attached to Acting Captain Fluffball and is sad when they have to get rid of all of them but otherwise they'll break the ship so he's definitely not going to let that happen

A Holo Headcanon

Created out of thin air and totally not in relation to anything that was occupying me in real life for the last ten minutes.

What happens, when you ask one of La Sirena’s Emergency Holograms to help you find an item you misplaced? (And for reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with real life, no no, I'm gonna say you misplaced your headphones......)

Ian: Will help you search very systematically and thoroughly, going one place at a time in a logical manner. Because of his amazing pattern recognition skills, there is a good chance he'll find the item at a glance, but even if it takes a while, at least you know that if Ian says the headphones are not in your backpack, they really are not in your backpack.

Emil: Will do the whole very patient "Alright, where did you use them last? What can you remember about putting them down?" and help you search until you find them. And afterwards, he'll probably sit you down to talk about developing strategies to manage you natural tendency to misplace things.

Steward: Will scan the ship, find the headphones within seconds, and rush to dig them out of your bag and hand them to you with a flourish.

Enoch: Will join the search with a lot of enthusiasm and not a lot of coordination. It probably won't be quicker than if you searched on your own and there's a chance you'll both get distracted, but at least you'll have a good time! (It later occurs to you that Enoch's spatial awareness must be at least as acute as Ian's, so if he wanted to, he'd probably be able to search any given space with stunning efficiency. Except that would be a lot less fun.)

Emmet: Zzzzzzzzzz (He might poke around the room a bit, looking in very unlikely places without a lot of enthusiasm, then flop on the bed and go to sleep. Unless he notices you're really upset. In that case, he'll just go to precisely the place where your headphones are, hand them back to you with a pat on the head and no explanation of how he knew where to look, and then go to sleep.)

Holo Headcanons

It will probably surprise very few of you that I spend an inordinate amount of time thinking about the technology of Star Trek’s (Emergency) Holograms. How does their programming deal with unexpected situations? How do they learn new skills outside their dedicated programming? Can they smell? (Meaning both: Can they exude any odour? and Can they perceive odours in their environment?)

I’m in the middle of a Rewatch Of All Star Trek while taking notes on anything and everything holo-technology, but I haven’t gotten that far yet. I’m sure there are answers to some of these questions to be found in canon that I’m currently unaware of, but in the meantime, I have A Lot of headcanons, and I really want to share them with the world :D

Some of these are things that have come up in my fics or will come up in the future. But my writing prowess is sadly limited, and it often takes me months if not years to produce full-blown stories out of these ideas. So, I decided to try and post at least some of these ideas over here, be that in the form of story snippets, discussions from the Aramis in Space Discord, or my usual semi-hinged technobabble. We’ll see how it goes ;)

(I’m also thinking about putting these on AO3, in the Meta Musings series, but I’m not sure they’ll be coherent enough.....)

As an inaugural topic, I want to voice a few general thoughts on:

Bio-Analogous Subroutines in Advanced Recreational Holograms

(N/B: I’ll only start studying Computer Sciences next fall, so my knowledge of AI and computing technology is limited, and I reserve the right to change any of these technical terms if I come across better ones ;9 )

When talking about holo-technology, I find it very important to distinguish between simple anthropomorphic holo-interfaces (think the Index in the Starfleet Archives in PIC), recreational holograms (the NPCs in holodeck programmes), and full-blown Emergency Holograms. While they’re all based in the same technology and share many properties, the difference in their function will lead to many differences in their programming.

Today, I want to look at one peculiarity I imagine must exist in the second category, recreational holograms. Namely the portions of their programming dedicated to making them appear “alive”.

My current thinking is that these fall roughly into two categories: physical parameters and behavioural patterns.

Physical Parameters

On a very basic, physical level, depending on what you want to get up to with the holograms, you’ll want them to feel like real people when you interact with them.

Holograms are essentially light and forcefields (whether that “light” is “holographic matter” or simply a light projection is a matter of contention, and I tend to say these two versions represent different stages of the technology, but that’s not the topic of this post ;9). The forcefields are able to interact with non-holographic matter, to move it around, to create solid surfaces to walk upon and solid characters to fight or hold hands or sleep with.

This kind of solidity is essential for all holograms, be they recreational, medical, or simply a customer-service subroutine employed to hand out pamphlets as a store-greeter. However, recreational holograms don’t just need to interact with the world. They are programmed to create an illusion of reality, and therefore need additional physical features.

On top of simple solidity, the forcefields (or the holographic matter they’re containing, if you prefer that interpretation) of recreational holograms must also create an illusion of weight, of heat, maybe even of body odour or moisture to make the interaction with a character fully immersive. We know that these forcefields can interact with the environment on a molecular level (see Neelix’s holographic lungs in Voyager), and they probably already serve to create and perceive sound (since soundwaves are nearly vibrations in the air and probably easy to detect or recreate with a forcefield as intricate as the ones seen in Star Trek’s holodecks). It stands to reason, therefore, that over time, technology develops to the point where an advanced holomatrix can imitate many physical features of a living being.

Behavioural Patterns

Characters in an intricate, open-world holodeck programme, say something like Fair Haven, are created to closely imitate life and give the (organic) users a sense of verisimilitude, not just in their physical properties but also in their general behaviour. Having a townsperson who just sits at the same table in the pub all day and night might be alright for an action novel where they only serve the function of set dressing or to provide an info-dump. But in an open-world sandbox, this limited behaviour would break the user’s immersion. If a user were to follow a single character all day, they would expect and want to see that character engage in a large variety of actions that would make them appear “real”.

Of course, you could create a detailed daily schedule for each of your characters, instructing them when to eat, when to sleep, when to head to the bathroom, etc. However, depending on the size of your setting and how interactive it is meant to be, you’d have to do a lot of tedious scheduling and add many contingencies to compensate for interruptions created by the users.

In order to combat this problem, I imagine that over the years of holo-novel-creation, authors and programmers have developed general subroutines that govern all kinds of “bodily functions” for artificially created holo-characters and can be added in the form of templates and only tweaked and adjusted a little where necessary. E.g., a hologram would be given an internal metre for hunger that would cause them to seek out sustenance at regular(-ish) intervals. This behaviour would occur organically, no matter if the character is currently involved in somebody’s story line or left to their own devices.

All of this might seem rather obvious, but I find it becomes really interesting when you start to consider the details. Say a holographic character drinks a (holographic) cup of coffee. Is it going to affect them? How?

My suggestion here would be: the holograms have a subroutine that governs their sleep and wakefulness. A certain amount of time after they wake up (probably varying depending on external circumstances of the narrative), their programmes shift into “tired” mode, and their behavioural algorithms start triggering cues for exhaustion appropriate to their species (like yawning in humans). Holographic coffee contains a line of code that, when introduced into a hologram’s system, essentially pushes back their tiredness-threshold by a certain amount of time. If the hologram didn’t get enough sleep or isn’t an early bird, a cup of coffee can increase their level of wakefulness in the morning. If it’s late in the day or they are programmed to require a midday nap, the coffee can alleviate those behavioural cues and make them more “awake”.

This is just some of the bio-analogous functionality I imagine is programmed into complex recreational holograms.

Now, I don’t think Emergency Holograms share a lot of these subroutines, necessarily. At their inception, the Emergency Medical Holograms were meant to operate for very short intervals, only helping out in extreme situations when no other qualified crewmember was available, and then deactivating again. Of course, they need to be able to manipulate physical objects, like tools or bodies, and they need intricate sensory input from their forcefields to be able to perform operations and examinations that require touch. But there is no real reason to give an Emergency Hologram body heat, let alone a sleep cycle.

However, the EH’s weren’t created completely from scratch, they were built on a foundation of existing holo-technology. It’s possible, therefore, that some of the bio-analogous functionality is still incorporated in their programmes, and merely dormant so as not to waste processing power. I have a bunch of ideas of how this might play out with Emergency Holograms (especially the five EH’s on La Sirena, because I’m entirely predictable), but I will get into those in later posts.

The Classification of Holograms

[Excerpt from: K’xae’Rinn enK’tal, “The Cake is a Lie. The Significance of Gastronomic Rituals in Groups of Nascently Sentient Emergency Holograms. A Case Study”, Cultures and Connection 3 (2396), pp. 25—47 ]

Ever since the ground-breaking 2369 paper by Barclay et al., describing emerging sentience in an artificially created photonic being, researchers in the fields of holo-programming, computer ethics, and cognitive sciences have struggled to define this new phenomenon. While a definitive taxonomy of holographic lifeforms is still outstanding, the field has tentatively settled on a three-tiered classification scheme which also served as a basis for the legislation surrounding the recent Ishigaki Accords on Holo-Sentience. The following classification has been adopted from Morioka et al.

* For a discussion of how this classification translates to the Zimmerman-Barclay scale, see Adislo 202-03.

Class 1: Simple Support Routines

This class contains holograms that function in the way of a graphic user interface. One prominent recent example is the implementation of a humanoid holographic index by the Starfleet Archives last year (Starfleet Archives 15). While programmes like this have a rudimentary personality structure that allows them to interact with users, they are strictly limited in their functionality. They cannot acquire new knowledge outside of very narrow parameters, and are incapable of improvisation or reacting in any way not laid out in their pre-programmed interaction-trees.

Class 2: Semi-Complex Holographic Characters

The second class encompasses programmes such as characters in a holo-novel or basic customer service holograms of the type one finds in the hospitality industry. Due to their assigned function, these holograms are given more complex personality structures and more intricate cognition than their class 1 cousins. Their ability to improvise is also increased, since they need to be able to react faithfully to a variety of unpredictable situations and interactions.

However, there are rigid restriction on the processing power and access to non-essential information granted to class 2 holograms. This limits their ability to understand the world outside their narrow operational parameters and to form true connections with sentient beings. Additionally, their capacity to retain new information and thus achieve cumulative learning is also strongly limited.** Without significant modifications, intentional or otherwise, the amount of computing power needed to achieve what would be considered “sentience” would catastrophically destabilize a class 2 hologram’s cognition.***

** The technical difference between inaccessibly archived memory (necessary in class 2) and continuous procedural engrams (a prominent feature of class 3) is discussed in detail in Krenna et al.

*** In the few cases where class 2 holograms have achieved sentience, this was preceded by a significant, uncharacteristic expansion of their computing power. For examples, see Barclay et al., Torres et al. The question of how this impacts their individual classification, and the permeability of class limits is discussed in L’Nel.

Class 3: Emergency Holograms

Unquestionably, Emergency Holograms represent the culmination and most highly evolved form of holographic programming to date. Unlike their simpler counterparts, these holograms require a vast array of knowledge and strong improvisational skills. Their personality structures are more complex, too, since there is no time for miscommunication or off-colour jokes in emergency situations and the EHs need to slot in seamlessly with the rest of the crew. Beyond their own, narrow area of operations, Emergency Holograms also have access to knowledge from any number of databases accessible through their host system. This becomes crucial if, say, an Emergency Medical Hologram were to find themselves in a triage situation without access to medical equipment or replicators. In such a case, they would need to be able to identify and utilize whatever they find around them, which might require insight into mechanical engineering, botany, tailoring (to identify suitable cloth to utilize for bandages, tourniquets, or stretchers), and much more. ****

While these peculiarities of Emergency Holograms provide the framework necessary for sentience to develop, its true basis is found in the continuous memory unique to these programmes. In order to adapt and improve their performance in emergency situations, EHs need to be able to build on previous experience and thus have sophisticated learning algorithms (Krenna et al. 81 f.). This is the main reason why, next to a limit on processing power, the legislation laid down in the Ishigaki Accords aims to limit how much continual memory Emergency Holograms are allowed to accrue (Ishigaki Accords on the Development and Regulation of Holographic Sentience, §45-53). Only holograms who have gone through the rigorous approval process are allowed the memory necessary to eventually achieve something that might be considered “sentience”.

**** The development of Emergency Medical Holograms under adverse conditions is the subject of a fascinating study by Nuño-Villaflor et al., dramatized in the excellent novel Tripping the Photon Fantastic by The Doctor, formerly of the USS Voyager.

I didn’t want to derail this post about malicious canon-compliance (when you take something that was obviouslly a mistake or oversight or deliberate compromise by the creators of canon and make it a sport to find the exact set of in-universe circumstances that will explain it), but Thimblerig left these tags:

#i'm very fond of the #steward moves the messhall replicators around #one in #star trek picard (via @thelaithlyworm)

And I just had to reply, because... is that not canon? :D Also that the reason the transporter controls are never in the same place for more than a day or so is because Steward is working on optimizing the ship layout but there are just so many variables that he keeps changing his mind?

(Emil gently teases him about it sometimes, and Steward is too polite to point out that Emil just shuffled the places of his collection of chests of drawers for the fifth time that month to “be prepared for any eventuality”. Also, if Steward were to point it out, Emil would probably go into a slightly defensive lecture about how he needs to stay on top of things because the type of danger the captain might get himself in changes from week to week, if not day to day. Last week, they were on a salvage mission close to a dying star, so he needed to be prepared for possible negative effects of radiation. Now they’re about to dock at a station where Rios is very likely to get involved in some kind of brawl, so he needed to reorder things for urgent trauma care. It’s perfectly logical to want to be prepared!)

(No we’re not going to think too deeply about how (as Thimbles has pointed out before) the trauma they inherited from Rios is coming out in ways of “needing to be in control of your environments” and “needing to be prepared for any and all eventualities”, thank you very much. No we’re also not going to mention that Rios probably has about twice the amount of emergency rations squirreled away that you’d normally need for a crew of one. Or that each of the holos has a secret stash of weapons/tools/medical equipment/data chips containing navigational charts/emergency survival gear somewhere on the ship because you never know... No no. Steward just enjoys moving the furniture occasionally, because a change of scenery is a very effective way to keep the human in your charge from developing cabin fever. Everybody knows that......)

[cristobalrios]

//Holo-ween Headcanon:

The holos all change their physical perimeters to “dress up” as each other for Halloween each year. They randomize it so Cris can’t figure it out beforehand, and they stay on all day. Sometimes they switch it up to throw him off, though, like they switch their accents around instead of their physical perimeters, or they make each of them have a different accent that none of them usually have.

Once they all looked the same, with the same accent, one that none of them have normally. Cris had to watch their behavior to tell them apart that time, he couldn’t just memorize what each looks/sounds like for the day. Every time he saw them he had to watch what they were doing to tell which one they were. He got it right every time (even when they try to trick him by mimicking the behavior of another holo), but it was a bit harder.

[cristobalrios]

//I don’t know who else besides the people I already know is in both the Star Trek: Picard and Red Dwarf fandoms but I have an idea for a fanvid of Cris and the Holo Squad to the Red Dwarf theme but I have zero video editing skills so I have to just write it out instead.

I might try to gif it later too instead of making a fanvid, because I could probably do that. But anyway:

"It's cold outside, there's no kind of atmosphere" Shows an outside shot of La Sirena and maybe Cris staring out through the sunroof in his quarters from episode 3 

"I'm all alone, more or less" Shows Cris at the 'I'm all alone' part and then all of the holos at the 'more or less' 

"Let me fly far away from here" Shows one of the times Rios is flying the ship

"Fun fun fun in the sun sun sun" Shows another outside shot of the ship, but like it taking off 

"I want to lie" Emmet leaning back in his chair in episode 4 when he should be shooting "ship wrecked and comatose" La Sirena on Coppelius for 'ship wrecked' and Emmet sleeping in episode 8 for the 'comatose' 

"Drinking fresh mango juice" Cris on Freecloud ordering and drinking the cocktail with two umbrellas 

"Goldfish shoals nibbling at my toes Fun fun fun in the sun sun sun" (x2)  Maybe just some fun holo squad moments
