the utilization of fractal geometry within the brain pattern a robot by the name LVX-1. This was vital addition in an attempt to create a brain with “added complexity, possibly closer to that of the human” as Dr. Rash states (Asimov 122).

capability of a device to perform activities, which would otherwise only be expected of human brain” (Keswani, 2013, p. 348).

Additionally, transferring blood during normal…
