Thank you for responding theadvancedapes!

I understand your proposed term much better now, atechnogensis. I really appreciate the effort to refine the idea behind a singularity. I wonder though, how we should understand the concept of an "event"? Both terms, singularity and atechnogensis describe an event. What if the "event" occurs over a period of time, something that is gradual rather than something that occurs in a clear moment? I also find interesting the idea of culture reproduction. How a moment, or process, or both a moment and a process, of cultural reproduction occurs, post the creation of a non-human, intelligent, culture code.

There is almost nothing the human does that is not in some way symbolic. I was going to try and make an argument for biological sex and athletics, but, although both are strongly biological, they are both massively influenced, regulated, and expressed by adaptive cultural activities.

Would there be a case where byproducts, like the waste and pollution of maintaing human population, could be outside of cultural code? Maybe if a portion of the waste and pollution was the result of biological processes(DNA code), another portion culture code, and maybe another portion of it being both.

Anyway, I just really enjoyed what you wrote. Thanks again!
