Talk:Hologram
From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference.
[edit] Individuality
I don't understand this hologram thing. Data had non-replicatable hardware in his positronic brain that made him an individual. But as I understand, holograms are just AI software. there were clearly several copies of the doctor. if this is explained in canon it should be included in this article – The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.228.1.109 (talk).
- The point is that they're sentient. As such, once they start running and accumulating unique experiences, they're actually no longer identical nor limited to their original programming, but the point is not that they're unique, but sentient. An identical sibling is still an individual, though the hardware and software are not unique. SennySix 02:22, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Misleading
I think the information about the Doctor's holonovel is misleading. It seems to state that Starfleet cancelled the novel itself, when it in fact just questioned it. The Doctor was the one who canceled it, but his publisher went through with the distribution as the Doctor was deemed to have no rights to it. I also think that the EMH from the Federation ship the Doctor visits should be described here. – The preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.26.157.79 (talk).
- All of the EMH's are already described at Emergency Medical Holographic program.
- I don't entirely understand your first statement. Are you saying that the article should state that holograms are just software? --31dot 10:10, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
- The first statement was written by a different anon nearly a year ago. I've signed the quotes and separated the discussions to avoid further confusion. --From Andoria with Love 02:11, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
