flondrix - Hmmm
Thats something to ruminate and then research a bit more on at a latter time on my part.
My memory is fuzzy on some of the self regulating systems in a human body but here goes;
Panaceas, Liver, and some other subsystems also run themselves with only limited, in any supervisory signals from the brain.
Heart runs on its own with only the increase/decrease of pulse rate signals from the medulla oblongata IIRC - Dammit flondrix I'm a Physicist, not a Medical Doctor.
This is where some automated subsystems are right now and more are going that route.
Battery packs have built in charge and status monitors that are very sophisticated in some designs.
Doing charge and discharge control, cell health, fail safes, even switching out bad cells and load balancing between cells.
The Tesla power storage system does this on a large scale with their battery modules for automotive and household use.
Each component pack having it's own monitoring system that is integrated into the whole, which itself has a supervisory layer of control, only sending needed information to the main central control system when required.
I am not so sure that it was actual skills per se that Momo had early access to.
I am thinking a fully documented set of protocols and procedures in a heuristic database.
[someone better than I can find her exact wording on the subject]
For the uninitiated they are like fancy schmacy if-then statements.
Heck my industry lives and dies by the SOP [Standard Operating Procedure] and Protocols for the not so regular stuff.
These are tools outlining exactly what to do in a repeatable and verifiable manner, plus they make good training aids if designed well.
The caveat though, is that training under experienced supervision is still required to be able to follow what is written and what was intended and deal with the as yet undocumented surprises in the system.
They are documents that are rewritten and updated based on what was not covered but had to be dealt with when things go Klein.
Most would say "pear shaped" but by my experience pear shaped would be a walk in the park and easy to fix with a few taps of a hammer.
Instead things go well outside the limits, transcending all logic, reasoning, time and space.
Usually a Fud or mmBaaaa is involved for some inexplicable reason.
