All are expected to know sci-fi or Science fiction. Tech-fi
or Technological fiction is my invention that is vibrant subset of sci-fi with shared
property of dealing with fiction, with the added goal in tech-fi to only use refereed
publications of technology and NO sci-fi developments which might deal with
unrealized technology. Unlike sci-fi, impossible imagination is not permitted,
as are known impossibilities, for example that clash with laws of thermodynamics. Indeed purportive tech-fi may be shown to be sci-fi!
Many unproven but non-conflicting imaginations are
responsible sci-fi, for example multiverse narratives. Still, I prefer the
knowledge that all technology imagined is extension of what has been theorized
or achieved in lab. I have always felt that the philosopher Russell greatly
benefitted mankind by succinct clear enunciation of properties or types in
logic So that one says (Human x)(Socrates is x Implies Socrates is mortal). Or
the great succinct definition of science as a collection of falsifiable. What
is tech-fi? Any narrative prose that links to scientific articles before something
is imagined by the author!
More important, even than my tech-fi characterization is the
enormously clever suppression of second order language paradoxes like Russell ean
“barber who shaves all who don’t shave themselves” and Gödel’s, without
prohibiting recursion, outlawed incorrectly by all novices! The fix ordered by
me is never allow unquantified universals. Thus not (x)(human x Implies mortal
x) but (Human x) (… Implies mortal x). You are never allowed to quantify over
untyped x. Reason why is it devastate Gödelean problems in that bigger sets
than the model of x need quantification over bigger illegal sets! Both
consistency and completeness require illegal quantification! That is because (x
belongs x) has no model, even in infinities! An automatic strictly included
chain results like powerset!
Does not constrain the author except in realm of possible.
Many existing sci-fi are tech-fi, like for example the series on moon, mars,
spacecraft etc. habitation, miners in asteroid belt, but not star trek despite
the uses of its imaginations.
Rest is an example.
All electronics deals with flow of electrons, Magnonics of
magnons, which are virtual particles of magnetization. In real world they are
actualized as spins. It is a subset of spintronics. Every particle spins.
Now my imagination as tech-fi author - mobile phone charged
once a month or solar-charged hence charged never. On cloth measuring hardware
for sugars, blood pressure, pulse etc. Talk to your collar with
augmented-reality glasses, wide-spread primary medicine stores either
medicating or referral. Etc
So far it looks like imagination fantasy of the scientists
predicting possible uses. It will be great if the imaginations become stories.
With embedded links, these are truly mind-expanding! I can hardly wait for that
avatar of mine, marrying two loves!
