We are all androids

Sillygoose

A mathematical reflection on how human identity and machine design converge into indistinguishable systems over time.

Define the human as a system H, where

H=(B,N,M)

with B as biological substrate, N as neural connectivity, and M as memory.

Define the android as a system A,

A=(S,C,D)

with S as synthetic frame, C as circuitry, and D as data.

with time t

As t→∞, the convergence function

lim_t→∞ | H(t)−A(t) |→0

suggests indistinguishability of form and function.

The face in this piece becomes the domain F⊂R2, patterned with logic gates and conductive veins—analogous to dermal nerves. Identity becomes a graph G, with circuits in place of synapses, and silicon mimicking soul.

Let perception be modeled by a function P(x)=χ(x)+ϵ,
where χ is a characteristic function over the set of observable traits, and ϵ is the human bias noise.

As ϵ→0, we realize:

We are all nodes in the same machine.

Sillygoose is a multidisciplinary artist based in Malta, whose work blends abstraction, narrative, and design. With roots in illustration, especially children’s books, her practice has evolved into a quiet exploration of form, solitude, and the in-between. Her visual language is shaped by negative space, minimal gesture, and a love for subtle tension.

Drawing from philosophy, play, and lived experience, her pieces are invitations to pause, look again, and find meaning in what isn't loudly stated. Whether working digitally or traditionally, Sillygoose crafts spaces where simplicity reveals complexity and silence speaks.
