The plot involves scientist Sam Beckett (Scott Bakula) leaping to various points in time, and into the life of a different person, usually constrained within the period of his own lifetime. Scott Stewart Bakula (born October 9, 1954) is an American Actor. His only link with his own time is the cigar smoking, womanizing Al (Dean Stockwell), who appears to Sam as a hologram that nobody else can see. A cigar is a tightly rolled bundle of dried and fermented Tobacco which is ignited so that its smoke may be drawn into the smoker's mouth Dean Stockwell (born March 5, 1936) is an Academy Award -nominated Emmy Award -nominated Cannes Award and Golden Globe

The show overlaps a number of genres, including science fiction, family drama, comedy, social commentary and nostalgia, thereby acquiring a broad range of fans.

At the end of each episode, Sam leaps into another person, giving viewers a teaser of the following episode (or occasionally a red herring). In Literature, a red herring is a narrative element intended to distract the reader from a more important event in the plot usually a Twist ending. As part of a running gag, after Sam's leap, in awe or dismay about his new situation, he often utters the catch phrase "Oh boy!". The running gag is an often amusing Joke or reference that appears repeatedly throughout a work or series of works A catch phrase (or catchphrase) is a phrase or expression recognized by its repeated utterance

Opening narration

After the pilot, the first season episodes open with an introductory narration by Sam Beckett:

Beginning with the thirteenth episode of the second season ("Another Mother"), each episode begins with a spoken introduction which explains the series' broader premise. On its first appearance, this introduction was spoken by actor Lance LeGault (who appears in the show's first season episode "How the Tess Was Won"). Lance LeGault (b Henry Legault on May 2, 1935 in Chicago Illinois, U For the remaining episodes of the season, it was read by Deborah Pratt (Bellisario's then wife). Deborah M Pratt (born in Chicago Illinois) is an American Actress, Writer and Television producer.

Some versions of these second season episodes, such as some first run broadcasts, and those originally shown by BBC Two in the United Kingdom, did not have the opening narration, instead going straight into the episode as Sam leaps. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, commonly known as the United Kingdom, the UK or Britain,is a Sovereign state located

A shorter version of the second season introduction with slightly different wording, read by Deborah Pratt but without the echo effect, was used in the third to fifth seasons, and in syndication:

The show's first season was a mid-season replacement, and consisted of the pilot and six separate episodes. These first season episodes were presented in a pseudo-serialized format, wherein the last few minutes of the previous episode was shown before Sam would leap into the current episode's storyline. This helped viewers understand that Sam was leaping directly from one life to another. The practice was dropped in the second season so that episodes could be run (and rerun) in a random order; all episodes now began at the point of leap-in. The first season episodes were re-edited into this format.

Plot

In the near future (1999), at a highly classified U.S. government-funded research facility somewhere in the desert near the small ranching town of Stallion's Gate, New Mexico, physicist Sam Beckett (Scott Bakula) is working on a grand experiment to prove his time-travel theory. The United States of America —commonly referred to as the New Mexico ( is a state located in the southwestern region of the United States of America. A physicist is a Scientist who studies or practices Physics. Physicists study a wide range of physical phenomena in many branches of physics spanning Dr Samuel "Sam" Beckett is a Fictional character and the Protagonist on the Science fiction Television series Scott Stewart Bakula (born October 9, 1954) is an American Actor. Sam is working alongside Gushie (Dennis Wolfberg), the lead programmer of Project Quantum Leap. Dennis Wolfberg ( March 29 1946 – October 3 1994) was an American comedian and actor Project Quantum Leap is a fictional top-secret government-run science project involving Time travel on the sci-fi/drama Quantum Leap, created by Gushie also works the controls for the imaging chamber. However, the funding for the project is about to be cut. Sam's colleagues protest that they're not ready, but in a last-ditch effort to prove that his theories are correct, Sam steps into the project's "accelerator chamber" too early and vanishes.

Sam appears in the past with no memory of who he is or where he is. This side-effect amnesia is called Swiss-cheesing or (as a technical term in the show's universe) magnafluxing, which prevents him from remembering most of the details of his own life. Amnesia (from Greek) is a condition in which Memory is disturbed A fictional universe is a self-consistent fictional setting with unique background elements such as an imaginary history or geography and possibly fantasy or science His best friend from his original time, Albert "Al" Calavicci (Dean Stockwell), appears to him as a holographic projection from the "imaging chamber," usually only visible and audible to Sam, but also to small children, animals (Al often jokes "blondes" too), the mentally insane, and, in one case, a man whose brainwaves are a near match to Sam's. Rear Admiral Albert “Al” Calavicci is a Fictional character on the Science fiction Drama Quantum Leap, created by Dean Stockwell (born March 5, 1936) is an Academy Award -nominated Emmy Award -nominated Cannes Award and Golden Globe Blond (also spelled blonde, see below) or fair-haired is a Hair color characterized by low levels of the dark Pigment eumelanin Al is the Quantum Leap Project's observer and a retired U.S. Navy Rear Admiral. Rear admiral is a Naval Commissioned officer rank above that of a Commodore and Captain, and below that of a Vice Admiral. It is revealed that Gushie made a frantic call to Al when Sam vanished in the project accelerator and called him in to work on the situation. Gushie continues to work alongside Al in Sam's original time. Along with the (possibly sentient) supercomputer named Ziggy, Al is able to help Sam "set right what once went wrong" before he leaps out into the next person. Sentience is the ability to feel or perceive subjectively. It is an important concept in the philosophy of Animal rights, in buddhist philosophy and in A supercomputer is a Computer that is at the frontline of processing capacity particularly speed of calculation (at the time of its introduction At the beginning and end of nearly every episode, as Sam leaps into a new person he speaks his catch phrase, "Oh, boy!" and sees his 'new' reflection in a mirror. A catch phrase (or catchphrase) is a phrase or expression recognized by its repeated utterance A notable exception is in the episode "Dr. Ruth," in which the leap is shown from the leapees' point of view rather than Sam's. Ruth Westheimer (born June 4, 1928) is a Sex therapist and Author. When the leap takes place, we are with Dr. Ruth in the waiting room, who gives Al counseling about his own relationships.

In the pilot episode, Sam has leapt to the year 1956 as an X-2 test pilot, Captain Tom Stratton, based on real life Captain Milburn G. Apt. This is a list of Quantum Leap episodes in the order in which they were released The Bell X-2 Starbuster was an American research Aircraft built to investigate flight characteristics in the Mach 2-3 range Milburn G "Mel" Apt ( April 9, 1924 – September 27, 1956) was a US Test pilot. In one of his holographic visits, Al tells Sam about Ziggy's theory that "God or Time, was just waiting for your quantum leap to…correct a mistake. " Al thinks that this is "a load of crap," but "if Ziggy's right, all you have to do is break Mach 3 and live. " (Al also suggests that he wait forty years and Sam will be in "the present"). But as more of these seemingly random leaps put Sam in a position to fix something that once went wrong, Al gradually comes to believe that the experiment has been mysteriously co-opted by an unidentified higher power, to use Sam to avert tragedies in ordinary people's lives. The revelation that God was controlling these leaps is confirmed in "The Honeymoon Express. God is the principal or sole Deity in Religions and other belief systems that worship one deity. " The Quantum Leap project is in danger of losing its funding unless Al can convince the committee of Sam's existence and of Sam's influence on past events. Mid-episode, Al presses upon Sam to forget about the actual purpose of the leap and focus on preventing the American U-2 scandal. The 1960 U-2 incident occurred during the Cold War on May 1, 1960 when an American U-2 spy plane was shot down over Forgetting that this would mean that Sam would no longer be able to interact with Al, Sam brushes off its importance by reminding Al that it is not the project leaping him from person to person, but God. It is reconfirmed when Sam meets the devil, temporarily assuming Al's appearance to torment Sam before trying to kill him, who asks of Sam, "Who gave you the right to go bungling around in time, putting right what I made wrong?" It is re-confirmed indirectly when Sam meets an "evil leaper" who knows that her job is to set wrong what once went right. The Devil is the It is never explained exactly how the evil counterpart of Project Quantum Leap came to be, or who runs it. All we know of the evil Quantum Leap Project is that its counterpart of Ziggy is called Lothos, and that evil leapers manifest themselves with a red energy field, in contrast to the 'good' Sam, who leaps with a blue energy.

Another episode supporting the idea that a higher power is in charge is one in which Sam happens to encounter Al's first wife, Beth. At Al's insistence, Sam tries to prevent her from falling in love with the man she would marry while Al was a POW in Vietnam. But every time Sam thinks he has gotten rid of the man, he winds up running into Beth again, as if it were meant to be. Finally, Sam finds out Al's true motive and makes Al tell him his true mission. In the series finale, Sam reassures Beth that Al is alive and will come home; this episode also explicitly states that Sam himself is the only one in control of the leaps, though it is implied that the character who explains this is, in fact, God.

The term holographic projection is used in the program, although it is not the same as real holography. Holography (from the Greek, ὅλος - hólos whole + γραφή - grafē writing drawing is a technique that allows the The show's "hologram" is a three dimensional, neurological projection "created by an agitation of subatomic carbon quarks tuned to the mesons of my optic and otic neurons. A subatomic particle is an elementary or composite Particle smaller than an Atom. Carbon (kɑɹbən is a Chemical element with the symbol C and its Atomic number is 6 In Physics, a quark (kwɔrk kwɑːk or kwɑːrk is a type of Subatomic particle. In Particle physics, a meson is a strongly interacting Boson &mdashthat is a Hadron with integer spin. The optic nerve, also called cranial nerve II, is the Nerve that transmits visual information from the Retina to the Brain. The vestibulocochlear nerve (also known as the auditory or acoustic nerve) is the eighth of twelve Cranial nerves, and is responsible for transmitting sound Neurons (ˈnjuːɹɒn also known as neurones and nerve cells) are responsive cells in the Nervous system that process and transmit information " To project the hologram, Al enters an "Imaging Chamber" in which the image of Al and anything he is touching, e. g. , a person or cigar (but not the ground or chamber), are visible to Sam and Sam can hear Al speak, and correspondingly events in the past are visible and audible to Al. However, throughout the series, it has been found that animals, young children, the mentally ill and the fatally wounded can see Al. This is used to Sam's advantage on a few occasions, such as Al soothing a crying child, leading a dog away from Sam, or speaking directly with an asylum inmate. This last proves very useful when Sam is unable to perform his usual leap duties due to electro-shock therapy disrupting his ego and causing him to revert to the personalities of some of his past hosts. Fortunately, in this case, Al is able to talk to the person Sam is there to help and deals with the situation for him.

In what may be a form of paradox, in one episode Sam leaps into a younger Al, when Al is on trial for the rape and murder of a commander's wife. A paradox is a true statement or group of statements that leads to a Contradiction or a situation which defies intuition; or inversely Although in the original history, Al was acquitted, Sam's actions cause the case to begin turning against Al. Part of the way through the episode, when Ziggy projects that the odds are 100% that Al will be convicted, Al disappears in mid-sentence and is replaced by Edward St John, a character played by Roddy McDowall, with only Sam remembering that Al was the observer, implying that Al was convicted and executed. Roderick Andrew Anthony Jude McDowall ( September 17, 1928 – October 3, 1998) was an English -born In this new continuity, the staff at Quantum Leap appeared less emotionally involved with Sam's various hosts, and Sam and St. John have no apparent connection beyond a professional relationship. St. John calls Sam 'Samuel,' a name that Sam hasn't been called since he last saw his great-aunt. Fortunately, as soon as the odds jump back in favor of Al surviving, he is restored, with only Sam remembering that Edward St. John was ever there. This confirms that Project Quantum Leap would still exist without Al, though it would be a radically different project.

The Quantum Leap generator is run by a supercomputer named Ziggy which can use its immense database to pinpoint where, when, and who Sam is. A supercomputer is a Computer that is at the frontline of processing capacity particularly speed of calculation (at the time of its introduction Ziggy can also help Al figure out why he is there and what he must do so everything can be put right. Almost every episode centers on what Ziggy is trying to tell Sam to do, and giving him a clear objective, such as making sure someone doesn't end up in a car that will crash, saving a child's life, or having someone stand up for him- or herself after an attack like a rape or hate crime. Rape, also referred to as Sexual assault, is an Assault by a person involving Sexual intercourse with or Sexual penetration of another person Hate crimes (also known as bias motivated crimes) occur when a perpetrator targets a victim because of his or her membership in a certain Social group, usually defined Almost always, what Ziggy said was confusing and left Sam and Al to figure out in the last minute what had to be done. Ziggy is apparently self-aware, and in early seasons is generally referred to as "he. " In one episode in season four though, in which Sam "returns home" to his own time, Ziggy is revealed to speak with a female voice, though Sam still refers to it as "he" (and, after experiencing "his" sarcasm, regrets programming "him" with "Barbra Streisand's ego"). Barbra Streisand (ˈstraɪsænd "STRY-sand" born April 24 1942 is an American Singer, Film and Theatre Actress Interestingly, in the aforementioned confrontation between Sam and the devil, Ziggy was reported as malfunctioning and unable to locate Sam, but the team could not determine what was the cause of such a serious malfunction. The Devil is the When Al eventually arrived on the scene (to see what appeared to be himself) he stated in a horrified tone that "Ziggy says there's definitely something there Sam!" in reference to the spot the devil was standing. Ziggy's power seems far more potent than simple artificial intelligence.

Leaping: mind or body?

In early episodes of the series, it is unclear whether it is only Sam's mind that leaps (into other people's bodies) or if Sam's mind and body leap together. Subsequent episodes make it clear that both Sam's mind and body leap, and that an 'aura' surrounds him, making him look and sound like whoever he's leaped into (back home, the 'leap-ee' is infused with a similar aura, and looks/sounds like Sam). It is established elsewhere in the series that Sam's mind often merges with that of the leapee as part of the Swisscheesing. Some examples of this include:

"Blind Faith"

Sam assumes the life of a blind concert pianist. Sam, however, can still see, and must pretend to be blind in order to complete his mission. Later in the episode, Sam is blinded by a flash bulb, and Al makes it clear that he is risking his own sight if he does not seek medical attention immediately.

"8½ Months"

Sam poses as a pregnant teenage girl. Sam incredulously asks Al how he could possibly be giving birth, to which Al replies that this is impossible—"it's your body, not hers. " However, Sam theorizes that even though the mother Billie Jean has leapt to the future and is in the waiting room, the baby did not leap. This is confirmed by Al that although Billie Jean is in labor, there is no baby present.

"The Wrong Stuff"

Sam leaps into a chimpanzee in the space program. The episode makes it clear that chimpanzees are unable to swim, yet Sam is able to dive into the water to rescue a drowning man.

"Nowhere to Run"

Sam leaps in as a Vietnam vet who has no legs. However, Sam can still walk, and actually does so in the episode (to outside observers he appeared to be floating in midair).

"Killin' Time"

Sam explains to his hostages that he leaps into people's lives and his body is there with him.

"Trilogy (Part 3)"

Al informs Sam that he is the father of Samantha Josephine "Sammy Jo" Fuller, a child he fathered ten years earlier in "Trilogy (Part 2). " He also tells Sam that Sammy Jo inherited his intelligence (with an IQ of 194), proving that Sam is the biological father rather than the leapee.

"Revenge of the Evil Leaper"

Toward the end of the episode, Sam shoots the former observer, Zoey, and kills her, but when the person she had leapt into returns, he is clearly alive and well; also, when Zoey attempts to shoot Alia, the first evil leaper, neither Alia nor her host are harmed, presumably because Alia leapt out just before the bullets hit and her host leapt back after the bullets passed through them.

• Zoey's fate also confirms that Sam could theoretically die during a leap. However, Alia's fate suggests that Sam would be leapt out of any such situation before he could actually die. Indeed, there are two episodes ("Last Dance Before an Execution" and "Trilogy, Part 1") in which Sam's host actually dies; in both situations, Sam leaps out just in time to avoid dying himself (though it should be noted that having accomplished his mission, Sam would have been due to leap out anyway).

There are numerous other episodes in which Sam performs feats of strength that are suggested to be beyond the abilities of the people leapt into. For instance, in "Runaway," despite being a young boy, Sam is able to easily suspend his older and stronger sister over a well. Several other episodes feature Sam as a woman beating up male attackers while witnesses look on in amazement. Also, in an episode where Sam leaped into a woman being attacked by her son's kidnappers, Sam's blouse is ripped open and one of the kidnappers leers at "her" exposed cleavage, allowing Sam the distraction he needed to defeat them.

If Sam leaps into someone whose body is physically a different size from Sam's own, Sam is 'refracted' and temporarily made larger or smaller to fit (similar to the effect of light being refracted through a prism), most notably in "The Wrong Stuff" when he became a chimpanzee. Chimpanzee (often shortened to chimp) is the common name for the two extant Species of Apes in the Genus Pan. However, a simpler explanation of this would be mere dramatic license.

Sam's neurons and mesons are linked through Ziggy to Al. Neurons (ˈnjuːɹɒn also known as neurones and nerve cells) are responsive cells in the Nervous system that process and transmit information In Particle physics, a meson is a strongly interacting Boson &mdashthat is a Hadron with integer spin. These are physical elements of the human body which would prove that Sam's physical body is leaping with Sam. This is also proven in the episode "A Leap for Lisa" when "Project: Quantum Leap" leaps young Al into himself.

It is established early in the show's run that Al sees Sam as the leapee rather than as Sam. However, later episodes indicate that he clearly sees Sam as Sam. In the episode "What Price, Gloria," Al becomes smitten with Sam's appearance as a woman. However, later in "Miss Deep South," Al mocks Sam's attempts to imitate a gorgeous beauty pageant contestant. He refers to Sam/Darlene as "Scarlett O'Hara on steroids" at one point. And in the episode "Nowhere to Run" in the fifth season Al tells Sam, "Nobody sees you except me. "

Sam's memory

At the beginning of the series Sam has severe amnesia, not even knowing his own name or origin, or recognizing Al upon his first appearance. With some prompting, Sam comes to recognize his situation but continues to suffer from a brain that is commonly referred to an being "Swiss Cheesed" (ie. This article describes a kind of cheese produced primarily in Canada and the United States. full of holes). Complex technical skills (such as his medical and scientific training and his knowledge of foreign languages) survive intact, yet he is unable to recall more mundane or personal things, including his life experiences predating his first leap and many historical details. Al's projection is crucial for filling in these gaps when they become relevant.

It is often implied that the "holes" in Sam's memory are temporarily filled by aspects from the mind of the person he is currently replacing, allowing him to assume the mannerisms of his host or intuitively know where to find items or locations relevant to them (ie, knowing where "home" is and where their car keys are). This is expressed most strongly when Sam takes Al's place, and is inundated with his lecherous friend's lascivious instincts, and when he leaps into Lee Harvey Oswald and finds his own personality dominated by that of the infamous assassin. Lee Harvey Oswald (October 18 1939 &ndash November 24 1963 was according to three United States government investigations the assassin of U

As the show unfolds in the second season, Sam slowly but steadily begins to remember more personal information, such as having a brother who was killed in Vietnam in a story arc that spans much of the season. Vietnam (ˌviːɛtˈnɑːm Việt Nam) officially Generally from the third season onwards, Sam is able to remember much more. This can be explained by him slowly becoming accustomed to leaping and his memory gradually returning, though in real-life, it was as much to do with writers expanding new plots which allowed Sam to be able to do more without having to have everything explained to him. Yet, Sam's memory of his loving wife is kept hidden from him, presumably by the unknown force that directs his leaps and by agreement between Mrs. Beckett and Al, so that he can continue his missions unhindered by the burden of this knowledge.

Kisses with history

Also common are so-called "kisses with history," where Sam briefly encounters a famous or infamous person or event in a manner irrelevant to the story. For example:

• In "Star-Crossed," Sam has to get his future fiancée (and eventual wife due to the success of the leap) (Teri Hatcher) to reconnect with her father, who is a colonel in the army. Teri Lynn Hatcher (born December 8 1964) is an American Actress. On June 17, 1972, Sam tries to bluff his way past the security guards in the lobby of the Watergate Hotel. The Watergate complex is an office-apartment-hotel complex built in 1967 in northwest Washington D He is ejected, but Sam manages to find a door with a piece of tape over the latch.

• In "It's a Wonderful Leap," Sam as a cab driver in 1958, advises a 12-year-old Donald Trump that investing in New York City real estate would be a good way to get rich, and that there will one day be a crystal tower on 57th Street and 5th Aveune. Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is an American Business magnate, Socialite, Television personality, and That building is the Trump Tower. Note: In the same episode, Donald's father, Fred Trump, is played by Scott Bakula's future Star Trek: Enterprise costar Vaughn Armstrong.

• In "Dr. Ruth," Sam leaps into Dr. Ruth Westheimer. Ruth Westheimer (born June 4, 1928) is a Sex therapist and Author. While Sam deals with a case of sexual harassment in the past, the real Dr. Ruth (in the waiting room) helps Al get over his inability to express his love to a woman, ever since his first wife left him. It appears that the point of Sam leaping into Dr. Ruth was for Dr. Ruth to help Al, rather than Sam to help the victim (Westheimer appeared as herself in this role). However, while defending a victim of sexual harassment from her harasser, a woman stops to listen to what Sam is saying, and when her companion speaks to her, we see that the woman listening is Anita Hill. Anita Faye Hill (born) is a professor of social policy law and women's studies at Brandeis University at the Heller School for Social Policy and Management and

Super Bowl XXX was an American football game played on January 28, 1996 at Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe Arizona to decide the The game did in fact feature the Steelers, who trailed the Dallas Cowboys by exactly three points at two different points in the game. The Dallas Cowboys are a professional American football team in the Eastern Division of the National Football Conference (NFC in the National This is notable because the episode was filmed over six years before the game actually took place.

Series conclusion

The series (created by Donald Bellisario) is somewhat unusual in that it has a science fiction premise, but little science fiction- or fantasy-oriented storytelling, instead focusing on the personal journeys of Sam Beckett and those he encounters. Donald Paul Bellisario (born August 8, 1935) is an American Television producer and Screenwriter. Even in its final episode, the show refuses to resolve many of its own technical and holistic questions, choosing instead to leave things open-ended and focus tightly on what is arguably the series' overarching message: that a single person can change the world one life at a time. Distinguish from the suffix -holism, which describes addictions

The final episode was in fact intended to be an end-of-season cliffhanger, but after the series was not renewed by the network, it was re-edited to function as the series finale. A cliffhanger or cliffhanger ending is a Plot device in which a movie, Novel, or other work of fiction contains an abrupt ending often leaving A series finale is the very last installment of a Television series, usually a Sitcom or Drama. This may account for some of its ambiguous nature. The original ending has Sam leaping into 1969, a mere minute or two after he and Al leapt out in the episode "M. I. A. ," to tell Al's first wife, Beth, that Al is coming home. His Vietnam-era picture begins to "leap" (this is where the final episode cuts off), and then we see a modern picture of Al sitting with Beth and their four daughters. This ending somehow made it out of the studio and has been circulated on the Internet. In the ending that was actually broadcast, we are told that Al was reunited with Beth, that they remain married, and that "Dr. Sam Beckett never returned home. " Fans have speculated that this would have erased Project Quantum Leap, Sam and Al's relationship, or even Sam himself from the altered timeline. However, the original script and subsequent statements by Bellisario leave all of these intact.

In its second season in the USA, it was forced to compete with the Top 20 hits Full House and Family Matters, both on ABC in the same time slot, and came close to being canceled in its third season due to low ratings. Full House is an American Television sitcom that originally ran from September 22 1987 to May 23 1995 on ABC. Family Matters is an American sitcom about a Middle-class family living in Chicago. The American Broadcasting Company ( ABC) is an American Television network. However, a letter writing campaign helped save the series, and it continued for another two seasons, ending after the fifth season. In the summer of 1991 and 1992 NBC aired "Quantum Leap Week"s, showing one episode of QL each night for a week Monday through Friday in order to help promote the show.

Novels

Ace Books published a series of novels due to the show's popularity, beginning in 1992 and continuing until the year 2000. While not considered canon, the novels were met with approval from Bellisarius Productions and Universal Studios. This article is not about Literary canons of influential works of fiction but about the concept of a canon which defines the world of a particular fictional series Being non-canon, the novels tended to deviate from series norms and also attempted to provide explanations for conventions that went unexplained in series episodes. For example, in Quantum Leap: The Novel (a. k. a. Carny Knowledge):

• Sam is depicted as exchanging bodies with subjects he leaps into; he suffers from the degenerative results of polio on the 'leap-ee's' body for the duration of the story's leap.

• Ziggy is identified as female both in personality and by reference as "her" and "she" by those present at Project Quantum Leap.

• The novel states that Sam used brain cells from himself and Al in the creation of Ziggy (implying that Ziggy is a form of wetware computer), and that this "link" was the reason why Ziggy could transmit an image of Al to Sam's mind. Brain Cell is a Mail art project begun by Ryosuke Cohen in June 1985 A wetware computer is an organic computer (also known as an artificial organic brain or a neurocomputer) built from living Neurons. This is also used to explain why Al can recognize changes in the present due to Sam's actions while others remain unaware.
