The Cake is a Lie

The Significance of Gastronomic Rituals in Groups of Nascently Sentient Emergency Holograms. A Case Study.

By K’xae’Rinn enK’tal of the Greater Anthropological Institute at the Ancient and Venerable Hhon-mak’tih University of Southern Kendris

From the Abstract:

In this paper, I present the results of a month-long anthropological observation of a group of five sentient Emergency Holograms working on a privately owned commercial freighter. Their varied interactions with food and drink reveal a wide spectrum of cognition, ranging from purely pre-programmed Performance (as defined by O’Leary, 2385) to highly self-motivated attempts at Individuation (ibid.). By highlighting these often subtle differences, a clear picture emerges: The consumption of food and drink as well as the participation in gastronomic rituals is not only an effect of emerging sentience in Emergency Holograms, but can even serve as a tool of the same.

Editor’s Note: Due to unforseen technical difficulties that, and we cannot stress this enugh, have nothing to do with the recent tribble infestation of our publisher’s central server halls, this paper will have to be published in several stages. We aim to finish publication before the end of this year’s potluck, but the publishers have asked us to remind our readers that academic journals can sometimes be beset by unforseen crises that cause delays in the release of journal contributions.

Once again, our publisher would like us to emphasize that if there were tribbles loose in their corporate headquarters (which is still an entirely unproven rumour), this would not impact their ability to function in any way. And it certainly wouldn’t be the result of a targeted strike by activists dissatisfied with the publisher’s attitude towards the personhood of artificial beings.

Furthermore, the publishers wish it to be known that they had been planning all along that this special edition of Xenoanthropology Today should highlight recent research into holographic sentience and the legal rights and status of sentient holograms. Any claims of connections between delays in publishing, nonexistent tribbles, and a sudden change in corporate attitudes towards holo-sentience will be regarded as slander and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

Thank you for your understanding, Happy @startrekpotluck, and Guten Appetit.

Written for day 12 of @startrekpotluck 2021! It turned out a little darker than I thought, but starts at a dinner party.

Thank you so much for hosting!
