Biometric Identification

A couple of links today to add to my view and thoughts Biometric Identification (BI) that I have commented on many times in this blog.

Capture it all.  Total Information.

Vacuuming up Biometric Information of all types while it is free and available and unrestricted.  Not only the government but any non-government entity as well.  The government has the biggest big data base but when there is a profit motive then private enterprise will probably consolidate its silos into a single data base service managed by a "business associate" matrix.  One that will grow to be so large that perhaps the government will simply outsource its maintenance of the data base to private industry.  Probably in response to privacy laws applicable to government Biometric Information.  That outsourcing model was established by outsourcing the maintenance of internet communications entities that maintain it as a matter of business practice.  No need to tap in to the system from secret rooms.  On the other hand what are the server/storage farms like the one in Utah going to store/manage and provide to clients?

All this ID information about the most granular entity, the single unique human being,  are attributes of that human being.  The entity itself, the unique human being, needs its own unique indentifier linked to the attributes its owns.  Just because that is the way information is manage.  Because information.  One master ID number per every single person.  Other countries are doing it.  India for example. 

Once every single human being is uniquely identified then behavior can be associated with that person. 

I have no doubt that there is a single unique Master Identifier Number already established by the government for every known person of government interest.  By definition that includes all citizens.  Because information.  What is unknown is what attributes and behaviors are associated with that Master ID?  How will it be used?  How will it be controlled?

I should submit a FOIA request to know what my Master ID number is.  Just want to know the number.  Perhaps I should be able to look at what attributes and behaviors are associated with my ID?  Like the credit card model. 

Who would I submit that request to?

Data is gathered to produce information.  Information is processed to produce knowledge.  Knowledge is the basis for intelligent structure and action by an entity.  Artificial Intelligence can increasingly form its own Knowledge structure and actions.  An Artificial Intelligence based entity/agency must exactly know the Identity of each and every Natural Intelligence Entity (uniquely identified human being).

What is my Master ID number?  The one to which all information about me is associated?

Perhaps I must submit my request to know my number to an Artificial Intelligent entity.  I will probably get a form reply by text addressed to one of my listed attributes like telephone number telling me I have no need to know.  All is lovingly taken care of by machines.

Used to be that only St. Peter had all that info and it only became known in a different place than the natural world.  Perhaps we should identify the Artificial Intelligence Entity maintaining all that info about me in the real world with a unique ID.........St. Peter?  Santa Clause?  The State?

In the Object Oriented social structure what entity is the one that will be the single Super Class Object from which all child object classes inherit its attributes.  A refinement of our Natural Intelligence called Artificial Intelligence or our Natural Intelligence from which Artificial Intelligence inherits our attributes as our child object?
