Description

Sure! Here’s a detailed description of the comic, including the transcription of the text:

Panel 1:

• A mother and child are speaking. The child, with short hair, asks:
  • "Mommy, is there a robot heaven?"
• The mother, smiling, replies:
  • "Absolutely!"

Panel 2:

• The mother continues explaining, looking confident:
  • "There is an original version of the software that makes up the mind of this robot. It is an abstract pattern that can be embedded physically in many objects."

Panel 3:

• The mother points to the robot's head, explaining:
  • "An instantiation of that original code lives inside the mind of this robot."

Panel 4:

• The mother, becoming animated, adds:
  • "This particular robot acquires a small number of memories after it is given the pattern. These memories are stored in a distant server."

Panel 5:

• The mother continues:
  • "So, when this robot breaks down, the memory will yet remain in the cloud, in a state of timeless existence, until perhaps it is reborn somewhere else."

Panel 6:

• The mother emphasizes her point:
  • "It is a beautiful cycle. Like all great designs, it is a pragmatism so exquisite that it verges on the sacred."

Panel 7:

• The child looks amazed and says:
  • "Wow."

Panel 8:

• The child asks curiously:
  • "Is there a people heaven?"
• The mother bursts into laughter:
  • "AHAHAHA HAHAHAHA!"
