Chakras might be considered a religious concept, but I was uncertain to the placing because this is concerning their relation to the mind.
It’s interesting that software engineers for robotics are having great difficulty making an autonomous machine. A robot which does all the things humans do- such as balance, smooth speach, social empathy . . . are these technologies incomplete simply because the algorithms to achieve all this require more development . . . or is it that the engineers already believed that they would be successful, and feel stumped because they seem to be missing an important piece of the puzzle? Can human sensory and response be summarized as a cycling of electrical signals to the nervous system, processed and then delivered to appropriate muscular output? OR are there centers of the body which act as homing devices for cognitive elements? I have no proof for such a claim, but if robotics continues to have a tough time simulating human activity . . . then maybe there is merit to this afterall. If so, then what would the chakras DO, necessarily?
Well I’ll go from the bottom up and discuss their respective role, using less definition from ancient tradition and more from the perspective of a roboticist that would want to know their role in achieving a well-operable system. This is all paraphrased, I’m not assuming it’s the best interpretation. But this will be less interested in the ancient planetary / emotional phrasing and more about specific cognitive functions that a roboticist might be concerned with.
If you believe any of it, I would also insist that these are vastly untapped resources, which have been intentionally constricted to keep you in check. Even if not constricted, you may want to see if your own “autonomous robotics” can be developed further.
The ROOT chakra connects you to gravity, and thus is responsable for balance. Riding a bike, running, jumping, standing on one foot- all physical maneuvers relating to gravity are concerning the root chakra. From a roboticist viewpoint, this would deal with geometric angles on time-scales given physical constants of Earth’s gravity.
The SACRAL chakra relates to procreation / fertility. Empathy serves a great role in personal relationships, and thus is the center for personal empathy. From a roboticist viewpoint, this would deal with physical characteristics of emotional states. Facial recognition, skin coloration, pupil dialation. A human medical encyclopdedia relating symptoms to intentions.
The Solar Plexus is essentially the umbillical chord and the ancestral connection. The evolutionary role of mutation and adaptation. A roboticist might use this feature to program specific scenarios in former models to prevent a necessity of trial-and-error in the new model’s algorithms. Essentially, the new generation learned from the “old” mistakes.
The Heart Chakra . . . in some reference . . . lets the Human “draw the love of God” into self in order to manifest their creation. A more physical interpretation can be seen as the centerpoint for energy distribution and storage. A robot will normally most ideally fit its engine in this area. If there is a means to remotely draw power, it will probably be within this position to start with. It would also be an ideal central location for most networking and communications.
The Throat Chakra operates the voice box - works as the speach center so that an audible or “vibrato” output can be manufactured as a signal to others. A machine would use this to deliver data in a nonbinary way - a way of adapting the information to other information systems.
The Third Eye is the center for extra perception. This would be the main relation for interpreting physical data into semantic propositions.
The Crown Chakra is to the sky what the Root chakra is to the ground. It can relate the environment in a bird’s eye view and use astronomical data for time and global positioning.
