MUNDANITY IS MORE IMPORTANT
THAN PROFUNDITY.

Why chemicals? Why not? For starters, the human body is not electronic. There’s electricity at work (mostly in the nerves), but humans run mostly on chemicals, so the use of a chemical chip has obvious advantages:
(from Phys.org) “We can, for example, send out signals to muscle synapses where the signalling system may not work for some reason. We know our chip works with common signalling substances, for example acetylcholine,” says Magnus Berggren, Professor of Organic Electronics and leader of the research group.
This could be used to bypass damaged nerves to control muscles directly, but this is only one possibility. Such chem-chips can be used for any type of signaling and control. Example: An artificial pancreas can have such a chip that monitors blood-sugar levels, then signals another chip to make insulin as needed. The Next Step… With a basic circuit done, more complex circuitry can now be developed. That would include elements such as ion inverters and NAND gates… and memristors? Could happen. Then from there…

Naturally, an healthy life organism acts to increase the well-being, health, good-fortune, sustainability and longevity of itself and others who are inter-dependent for mutual survival. On Earth, the “food chain” in nature dictates a “hierarchy of evil” (depending on the point of view of the eater vs the eaten). When a sea lion kills and eats a penguin this is “normal”. No “crime” has been committed — from the point of view of the sea lion.
In human society, when one man kills another, or steals his possessions, it is conceived that this man is “evil” and has committed a “crime” — from the point of view of the victim. If entire nations of killers invade a defenseless people who are unable to invoke “law” or “justice” or “revenge”, then no “crime” has been committed — from the point of view of the killers.
Examples of “evil” behavior and activities of this kind are “normal” through the entire history of human society, whether conducted by brutal military conquest, religious indoctrination or financial swindle, theft or deception.
Logically, if “evil” or “crime” is “normal for human
Definition of “CRIME”
noun: an evil act not necessarily punishable by law
Definition of “EVIL”
noun: that which causes harm or destruction or misfortune
adjective: having or exerting a malignant influence
Therefor, by extrapolation, the definition of “CRIMINAL” would be:
An individual, entity, organization or group of individual entities acting or prohibiting action, which acts or exerts malignant influences to create destruction, harm and misfortune, whether or not these influences or actions are punishable by law — from the point of view of the victim.
Therefor, by logical extension, the greater the magnitude of harm, destruction or misfortune caused indicates the degree to which a person, or entity is criminal. Historically, on Earth, the very BIG criminals can usually be observed to operate and control several fundamental human activities:
1- Finance, 2- Culture/Education/Religion, 3 – Legislation/Government, 4- Industry/Commerce, 5- Military, 6- Labor, 7- Natural Resources (consumed by humans), and 8- Geographic Territory (occupied by humans), 9- Technology.
Historically, as in current “civilization”, one could apply this definition of “criminal” to Bankers, Educators, Religions, Legislators, Politicians, Industrialists, Corporations, Energy/Food/Materials Suppliers, Government Contractors, Military leaders, Soldiers, Employers, Real Estate Owners, Scientists and Engineers, as well a individual people.
When the “criminals” control playing board and make up their own rules, there is no “evil”. “Crime” is “normal”.
