Theory and Thought
Martine is a proponent of the idea that the more we upload our personal experiences through media into cyberspace through storage within a mindfile (STUB), we can begin to create more and more sophisticated mindclones, or representations of our cybernetic being.
Terasem Movement
Martine is the founder and president of the Terasem Movement Inc., a 501c3 not-for-profit charity endowed for the purpose of educating the public on the practicality and necessity of greatly extending human life, consistent with diversity and unity, via geoethical nanotechnology and personal cyberconsciousness, concentrating in particular on facilitating revivals from biostasis. The Movement focuses on preserving, evoking, reviving and downloading human consciousness.
Projects
Martine is currently involved in several projects around mind cloning and cyberconsciousness.
CyBeRev
The CyBeRev website exists to demonstrate the practicality of reviving, to healthy life, people who have stored their bemes here but who have since that time been declared legally dead based on lack of heartbeat or brainwaves. The CyBeRev staff is dedicated to pursuing and implementing mindware technology that will enable the revival of an individual's consciousness based on their stored bemes. If a person who has stored their bemes here is revived to healthy life they may feel alive in every way and experience the full range of human emotions.
Lifenaut
LifeNaut.com is a web based research project that allows anyone to create a free back-up of their mind and genetic code.
A MindFile is a database of personal reflections captured in video, image, audio and documents about yourself, that can be saved, searched, downloaded and shared with friends. Each account comes with an interactive Avatar that becomes more intelligent as you add more information to your Mindfile.
The Bio File allows you to collect and store a copy of your DNA for free. Participate in one of the most important research projects of our time. The ultimate goal of our research project is to explore the transfer of human consciousness to computers/robots and beyond.
