Theories about Legion's "mini headlamps" (N7 special)

A very happy N7 Day to all of you Mass Effect fans!

Although I still haven't finished Mass Effect 3 (I just haven't been able to pick it up again after the Rannoch arc), I nevertheless wanted to do something special for this occasion, and I thought to myself that I might as well devote a quick study to a subject that's been on my mind for quite a long time: the purpose of Legion's three additional "mini headlamps".

You see, aside from the big, obvious flashlight in the middle, Legion also possesses three smaller lights at the side of their head. Ever since discovering these, I've been wondering what exactly those are for. I've observed that they glow red when Legion is under "stress" (an effect which is unfortunately not present in the Legendary Edition) - or rather, in situations that require a lot of processing power - but as far as their practical function goes, I could only guess. However, going through the ME3 dialogues again, I noticed a small detail which could potentially explain what exactly those small lights are - and in addition, give us a little insight into how Geth perceive the world visually.

Disclaimer: Before going into this, I should mention that I have no technical education in robotics, laser scanning, or any related areas of engineering. I based my conclusions solely on what information I could find on the internet, as well as my own reasoning and observations.

[Potential spoilers for ME3]

LADAR/LiDAR scanning and three-dimensional perception

To start off, what basically led me on this track was this comment by Tali in ME3:

Their AI lets them use extremely detailed ladar pings. Xen's countermeasure overwhelmed them with garbage data.

First off, we need to clarify what exactly ladar is. LADAR, more commonly known as LiDAR, stands for "Light amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation detection and ranging" - or, in case of LiDAR, "Light detection and ranging/Light imaging, detection and ranging. It's a method for measuring the distance, speed, and surface structure of objects by the means of laser scanning, usually with beams in the infrared spectrum (there are different wavelengths of light in use, however). Essentially, LiDAR is based on the same principle as the echolocation of bats, the only difference being the use of light instead of sound. Every LiDAR system consists of three integral components: a transmitter, a receiver, and a timer. The transmitter will send out a laser beam, which will be reflected by the object it hits; afterwards, the reflection will be registered by the receiver. Because the speed of light is a known constant, the distance of the object can be deduced by the timer, which will determine the delay between the light impulse being send out and the reflection being captured, also known as "time of flight".

However, because each laser beam only represents the coordinates of a single point, multiple laser beams are necessary to create a detailed 3D map of the environment. Some LiDAR lasers, like those used in automated vehicles, pinwheel to collect data in a 360° radius, generating a 3D image of all objects in the vicinity, including cars, pedestrians, and other obstacles. This results in multiple "points" forming a "point cloud" together, digitally depicting the surroundings on a 3D level. Because each laser emits hundreds of impulses per second, this technology enables you to take highly precise measurements in a very short period of time. LiDAR technology is not only utilized in autonomous driving, but also all kinds of other areas too, like archaeology, topographical mapping, and monitoring of vegetation growth.

Now, with this in mind, my theory is that Legion's small headlamps are the transmitter and receiver components of the LiDAR system - more specifically, I think the transmitters are located on the right, while the singular light on the left is the receiver. However, since we know that normal scanning LiDAR requires multiple laser beams for a detailed 3D image, the question is why Legion would only have two of them implemented. Personally, my suspicion is that the Geth might be using a flash LiDAR: Flash LiDAR is a different type of LiDar emitting a single wide, diverging beam, similar in shape to the beam of a flashlight. By projecting the reflected light onto a sensor array, a flash LiDAR can create a complete 3D environment without the use of multiple impulses. In addition to being very compact, flash LiDAR sensors have no moveable parts, making them extremely resistant to any kind of vibration - an undeniable advantage in all situations that require quick movement, such as combat.

Analysis of atmospheric composition with LiDAR

Still, that doesn't explain why Legion would have an additional transmitter on the right side of their head. We do know, however, that the laser scans with LiDAR are precise enough to not only measure the exact distance between objects, but also analyze the density of particles in the air: Because the molecules in the air cause the light from the laser beam to backscatter, LiDAR is also utilized in monitoring air quality and detecting fine dust, being able to determine traces of atmospheric gases such as ozone, nitrous gases, carbon dioxide, and methane. Depending on the wavelength of light used, the LiDAR system might be more or less precise in measuring molecular backscattering. For that reason, LiDAR systems using multiple wavelengths of light are most efficient in determining the exact size distribution of particles in the air.

With this in mind, let's take a look at Legion's opening line in ME2 upon entering the Heretic station:

Alert. This facility has little air or gravity. Geth require neither.

Going by what I explained above, the reason why Legion was able to tell there is no oxygen in the atmosphere isn't because they have some built-in chemical sensors to analyze the air's components - it's because they can literally "see" the particles in the air.

Thus, I think the second transmitter on the right side of Legion's head might use a different kind of wavelength specifically intended for the detection of atmospheric particles, perhaps in the UV-spectrum (the general rule is that the shorter the wavelength, the higher the resolution of the 3D image is, and since UV has a shorter wavelength than infrared, I imagine it might be used for this purpose). Meanwhile, the big flashlight in the middle might be a photoreceptor, being able to detect "normal" light visible to humans. In addition, the Geth are probably able to see UV-light (since the Quarians are able to see it, it would be logical to assume the Geth are as well), and maybe even infrared and other wavelengths. To summarize the function of all of Legion's headlights, I imagine it works roughly like this:

The two lights on the right side of Legion's head (marked with a red and magenta line) might be LiDAR transmitters, using infrared and UV-light, respectively; the single small light on the left (circled with green) might be the LiDAR sensor/receiver, while the big light in the middle (circled with blue) might be a photoreceptor (Source)

The effect of Xen's countermeasure (and potential means to bypass it)

It might be difficult to imagine from a human point of view, but judging from the information that the Geth use LiDAR as their main method of depth perception, Tali describing Xen's invention as a "flash bang grenade" actually makes a lot of sense: If you're normally able to observe your surroundings down to a molecular level, it would probably feel very disorienting if you're suddenly not, not mention being unable to tell whether an object is far away or close by (which would be absolutely devastating if you suddenly come under attack).

Still, that doesn't mean there are no potential alternatives: Radar, which has been in use longer than LiDAR, is another method to determine the range, angle, and velocity of objects. Due to radar using long-waved micro- and radio waves, the measurements are generally a lot less precise than those with LiDAR; despite this, radar still has its use during inclement weather, when LiDAR systems are very prone to disturbances by dust, mist, and rainfall. Furthermore, LiDAR can only provide measurements up to 200 meters, while radar is more efficient at greater distances. In fact, most modern autonomous driving vehicles work both with LiDAR and radar, in addition to a conventional camera (the only vehicles that don't use LiDAR are those from Tesla, which have a reputation of being unsafe). So, it's only reasonable to assume that the Geth don't rely on LiDAR alone, but use various technologies in combination with it to compensate for each one's weaknesses.

Interestingly, a type of 4D radar is currently in development, intended to be used in autonomous driving. It provides 3D images with a similar resolution as LiDAR, at a potentially much cheaper cost. Still, whether LiDAR or 4D radar is the better choice for autonomous driving is still a heatedly debated question, and only time will tell which of both systems comes out on top. Nevertheless, assuming Xen's "flash bang grenade" only targets the Geth's LiDAR sensors, I wonder if they could've potentially found a way to adapt and bypass it, given enough time.

Anyway, that's the material for a different kind of analysis - for now, I hope you enjoyed this little deep dive into the science behind the Geth. Thank you all for reading and have a nice N7 Day! :-)

CFP: AI and Fandom

Unfortunately, this special issue will not be moving forward. All submitted pieces are being considered for our general issue. 

Due in part to well-publicised advancements in generative AI technologies such as GPT-4, there has been a recent explosion of interest in – and hype around – Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies. Whether this hype cycle continues to grow or fades away, AI is anticipated to have significant repercussions for fandom (Lamerichs 2018), and is already inspiring polarised reactions. Fan artists have been candid about using creative AI tools like Midjourney and DALL-E to generate fan art, while fanfiction writers have been using ChatGPT to generate stories and share them online (there are 470 works citing the use of these tools on AO3 and 20 on FanFiction.net at the time of writing). It is likely the case that even greater numbers of fans are using such tools discreetly, to the consternation of those for whom this is a disruption of the norms and values of fan production and wider artistic creation (Cain 2023; shealwaysreads 2023). AI technology is being used to dub movies with matching visual mouth movements after filming has been completed (Contreras 2022), to analyse audience responses in real-time (Pringle 2017), to holographically revive deceased performers (Andrews 2022; Contreras 2023), to build chatbots where users can interact with a synthesised version of celebrities and fictional characters (Rosenberg 2023), to synthesise celebrities’ voices (Kang et al. 2022; Nyce 2023), and for translation services for transnational fandoms (Kim 2021).

Despite the multiple ways in which AI is being introduced for practical implementations, the term remains a contested one. Lindley et al (2020) consider “how AI simultaneously refers to the grand vision of creating a machine with human-level general intelligence as well as describing a range of real technologies which are in widespread use today” (2) and suggest that this so called ‘definitional dualism’ can obscure the ubiquity of current implementations while stoking concerns about far-future speculations based on media portrayals. AI is touted as being at least as world-changing as the mass adoption of the internet and, regardless of whether it proves to be such a paradigm shift, the strong emotions it generates make it a productive site of intervention into long-held debates about: relationships between technology and art, what it means to create, what it means to be human, and the legislative and ethical frameworks that seek to determine these relationships.

This special issue seeks to address the rapidly accelerating topic of Artificial Intelligence and machine learning (ML) systems (including, but not limited to Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), Large Language Models (LLMs), Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and speech, image and audio recognition and generation), and their relationship to and implications for fans and fan studies. We are interested in how fans are using AI tools in novel ways as well as how fans feel about the use of these tools. From media production and marketing perspectives we are interested in how AI tools are being used to study fans, and to create new media artefacts that attract fan attention. The use of AI to generate transformative works challenges ideas around creativity, originality and authorship (Clarke 2022; Miller 2019; Ploin et al. 2022), debates that are prevalent in fan studies and beyond. AI-generated transformative works may present challenges to existing legal frameworks, such as copyright, as well as to ethical frameworks and fan gift economy norms. For example, OpenAI scraped large swathes of the internet to train its models – most likely including fan works (Leishman 2022). This is in addition to larger issues with AI, such as the potential discrimination and bias that can arise from the use of ‘normalised’ (exclusionary) training data (Noble 2018). We are also interested in fan engagement with fictional or speculative AI in literature, media and culture.

We welcome contributions from scholars who are familiar with AI technologies as well as from scholars who seek to understand its repercussions for fans, fan works, fan communities and fan studies. We anticipate submissions from those working in disparate disciplines as well as interdisciplinary research that operates across multiple fields.

The following are some suggested topics that submissions might consider:

The use of generative AI by fans to create new forms of transformative work (for example, replicating actors’ voices to ‘read’ podfic)

Fan responses to the development and use of AI including Large Language Models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT (for example, concerns that AO3 may be part of the data scraped for training models)

Explorations of copyright, ownership and authorship in the age of AI-generated material and transformative works

Studies that examine fandoms centring on speculative AI and androids, (e.g. Her, Isaac Asimov, WestWorld, Star Trek)

Methods for fan studies research that use AI and ML

The use of AI in audience research and content development by media producers and studios

Lessons that scholars of AI and its development can learn from fan studies and vice versa

Ethics of AI in a fan context, for example deepfakes and the spread of misinformation

How MRTS Shapes Technological Efficiency: Help with Economics Concepts

The Marginal Rate of Technical Substitution (MRTS) is increasingly regarded as one of the most significant concepts in economics for the efficient allocation and utilization of resources by businesses and economies. MRTS fundamentally refers to the rate at which input in the production process is substituted for another input, say, labor for capital while keeping the output level constant or at a steady state. Think of it basically as a scale balancer-how much machinery can you replace with more workers or vice versa while producing the same output?

MRTS is important for economics students to understand how firms make decisions about the use of resources. Thus, the use of MRTS makes it easier for companies to determine the right combination of inputs that will enable them to produce more with less cost involved. What you will realize as you go through this concept is how fundamental it is in helping you understand the microeconomic production theory and, at the same time, the emerging trends in technology and enhancing efficiency.

Role of MRTS in Economics

Why is MRTS important in economics? As we know, input costs are one of the major components of the total costs in the production process, and those figures help us analyze them. High MRTS means that input is easily substitutable with another, for example, robots replacing human labor, while low MRTS means the input can hardly be substituted or will cost a lot.

Knowledge of MRTS enables students to discover the effect of upgraded technology or input prices on production decisions by a firm. However, MRTS is not only theoretical; it has practical applications in manufacturing, agriculture, and many other small, large, and even technology-based industries. However, students may face issues while getting familiar with the topics. Seeking professional economics homework help can expose them to new ideas and ways to look at this topic which will help them solve complicated questions and case studies.

Learning about how MRTS Shapes technological advancements and productivity

And how does MRTS shapes the technological advancement and efficiency outcome? To answer that, let us discuss in detail about the link between MRTS and Production Technology. The technology affects the MRTS in that it determines the ability to make inputs to be readily substitutable for one another. Technological progress that enhances the efficiency of capital, for instance, may enhance MRTS, such that firms depend on machines rather than labor.

1. Technological substation and productivity:

Substitution remains one of the most important forms of how MRTS influences technological advancement. Let us take the case of a factory manufacturing cars. If the real wages of labor go up but the price of capital – like robotic machinery as the result of technological progress – goes down, managers will continue to hire robots instead of people to produce the same amount. This is where MRTS plays a key role: Consequently, it explains to the firms the extent to which the total amount of labor can be substituted by machinery without affecting the volume of production.

One of the examples comes from the automotive industry. For instance, in the 1990s Ford and Toyota faced the heat of increasing cost of labor. To help them sustain their competitiveness they made investment in robotic automation to replace labor. The MRTS in these factories changed substantially as capital became more valuable because of the augmented applications of robotics and artificial intelligence. By 2019, it was estimated that more than 10% of car production tasks were done by robots — this is the result of the technological changes that understanding MRTS and efficient ratio of input use brings.

2. Impact on Efficiency

MRTS influences efficiency as well. Technical efficiency (TE) refers to the ability of firms to produce more output for a given quantity of inputs by adopting and implementing new technologies. Companies that possess TE are efficient in their utilization of resources and hence they have lower total production costs. When businesses understand their MRTS they are in a position to reallocate resources between labor and capital making the business more efficient.

For instance, while practicing agriculture technology-based approaches such as precision farming has enabled farmers to use technology in practices replacing the labor-intensive techniques. Today with the assistance of GPS systems, drones, and big data analytics farmers can control their produce and inputs thereby decreasing manpower. The opportunity cost between manual labor and capital equipments in farming has therefore been greatly inclined towards mechanization. Empirical evidence reveals that with precision farming the yields have improved by as much as 25% and reduced expenses by about 15%, facts that depict the actual application of MRTS.

3. Diminishing MRTS and effects of Technology

However, MRTS is not Homogeneous; instead, it decreases when one input is substituted for the other in greater amounts. According to the law of diminishing returns on the production factor, states that while technology can efficiently substitute labor, there comes a time when each additional substitution is less beneficial. For instance, in a production facility already characterized by heavy use of robots such as a highly automated factory, increased use of robots cannot go on increasing the amount of substitution of labor in the same proportion. In the longer term, the firm will require external intervention such as human inputs for those activities that are hard to automate such as problem-solving or decision making.

In the health sector for instance, although technology has pervaded almost every aspect (from diagnostic to robotic surgery) labor is still essential. However, the MRTS between technology and skilled medical labor is reduced because machines are unable to capture the unique decisions that human doctors and nurses are required to make. Therefore, being aware of this limit enhances the capacity to work out better means through which firms /industries would employ technology without compromising human labor.

4. Case Study: Retail – The Technology Shift

Let’s take a closer look at a sector we’re all familiar with: retail. In the last decade, increased use of internet buying and selling and the use of automation has changed the MRTS between human labor and technology in a very big way. Some of the giant organizations, such as Amazon and Walmart, have adopted automated warehouses in which robots are used in sorting, packing as well as shipping of products. Mobile robots have also been adopted by this e-commerce company, with more than 200,000 of them being used in the amazon’s facilities in 2020, thus reducing the human work input in these areas that can be automated easily.

However, over time, the MRTS in retail has evolved towards capital as the technology enhances the efficiency of the operation of logistics. Yet, just like in healthcare, the law of diminishing return of substituting labor with technology here also applies. Personal selling, customer relations, and decisions and choices still involve human intervention. Retailers must analyze the extent to which technology can replace human labor whilst at the same prioritizing the fact that human labor remains relevant for functions that technology has not been able to perform.

Graphical Representation of MRTS

A tool that can be quite helpful in helping us understand the concept of MRTS is the isoquant curve which is a curve where all combinations of two inputs, in this case, labor and capital yield the same level of output. The slope of the isoquant curve at any point reflects the MRTS. When more and more labors are being replaced with capital, the curve flattens and signifies that MRTS is diminishing. Here’s a simple graph of an isoquant curve that can help you understand how firms decide the optimal combination of labor and capital:

In fact, because of technological advancement and changes in the price of inputs, firms are always shifting along the isoquant curve in search of the most effective input.

How Expert Help Can Benefit Students in Solving Economics Assignments on MRTS 

Taking a shot at economics can at times be a challenging task especially if you’re faced with concepts such as Marginal Rate of Technical Substitution (MRTS). To the students who usually study economics courses, understanding MRTS means not just memorizing the definitions, but also applying theory in real case problems, analyzing graphs, and solving numerical problems. This is where help with economics homework from professionals can turn out to be quite useful. However, whenever you have a question to solve, an assignment to complete, a case to analyze, or when doing the right graphical analysis of the topic becomes a problem, then turning to experts could help in breaking the complex problems into manageable steps for easy learning.

1. Case Analysis and Graphic Presentation

In many assignments of micro and macroeconomics as well as in production theory and MRTS, graphical analysis seems to be an important tool. One of the most challenging tasks students face is how to effectively interpret and generate graphs that capture interrelationships between labor, capital, and output. Our experts assist learners in understanding isoquant curve construction, calculation of MRTS, and conclusions derived from shifts in these curves due to the changes in either technology or input costs.

Furthermore, while solving cases students also have to use the MRTS concepts to actual business scenario. Our qualified tutors use real-life examples from different industries, to explain to the students how such firms decide to substitute labor with capital and vice versa.

2. Solving numerical and technical problems

Working out specific numerical exercises on MRTS can be quite cumbersome, especially in contexts characterized by numerous and complex calculations of marginal products or input proportions or where optimization problems have to be solved. It will often help students to get a tutor who fully understands the economic models, and who can guide users through the process of breaking down these problems. Not only do they solve the calculations but also explain the economic rationale for each calculation to make sure that students have an understanding of the overall process.

3. Providing Modern Perspectives and Insights 

As industries experience a shift propelled by automation and artificial intelligence, studying MRTS from a current standpoint is vital. Using examples that mirror today’s trends and scenarios, such as the substitution of labor by automation in sectors such as e-commerce or healthcare, tutors make students understand how MRTS works. Not only does this make greater sense to the students themselves, but it also provides a more applicable and modern outlook to the course – something which is incredibly beneficial in examinations and prospective career choices.

Conclusion

This post has shown that MRTS is not just an abstract idea and is the key to understanding how firms and industries cope with technological progress and enhance efficiency. MRTS allows the students to study how economies evolve over time, and how firms make production decisions. Whether you are doing your homework or attempting to fully grasp the economic models, do not forget that turning to professional assistance and following credible resources provides new insights and perspectives into MRTS and its practical use.

In general, a student trying to navigate through the different aspects of MRTS, opting for help with economics assignments is a smart choice. No matter what kind of assistance is needed, whether graphical analysis, case studies, or numerical problems, our professional tutors are of huge benefit in presenting a students with a fresh approach, and imparting competitive advantage of solving their tasks with confidence. Therefore, the next time you are in a dilemma in solving an economics problem or case study, you should not hesitate to seek our help. Mastering economics becomes a whole lot easier with the help of a competent tutor.
