	Richard Daystrom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Richard Daystrom is a character from the fictional Star Trek universe.
		Daystrom is a renowned computer engineer of the 23rd century, who pioneered the duotronic computer systems in service on all Starfleet vessels.
		Daystrom's newest technology was the revolutionary "multitronic" M5 Computer system which could simulate human thinking.

	M5 (Star Trek) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Daystrom Data Concepts (sometimes called the Daystrom Technological Institute) was founded by computer scientist Dr.
		Daystrom was notable for his invention of duotronic technology in 2243.
		This unexplained advance in computing quickly entered use aboard Starfleet vessels and was used until it was replaced by isolinear computers in the early 24th century.

	Richard Daystrom - Memory Alpha
		Doctor Richard Daystrom (played by William Marshall) was one of the most influential human scientists of the 23rd Century.
		It was revealed that Daystrom's programming of the system used his own personality engrams as a model for the computer's personality, which included his psychological problems.
		Eventually, Daystrom had a nervous breakdown that required him to be subdued while M-5 was convinced that the death it caused required it to commit suicide.

	Sixties City: The Ultimate Computer
		The inventor, Dr. Richard Daystrom, arrives on board the Enterprise where, after a briefing meeting, Scotty is ordered to connect the machine despite his concern that the previous four prototypes had proved to be failures.
		Daystrom tells him that this is normal as the Enterprise is only operating with a skeleton crew and M-5 is conserving power for its own consumption.
		Daystrom is completely against removing M-5 from command leading McCoy to suggest to Kirk that he may be tampering with the unit.

	STARTREK.COM : Biography
		Born in 2219, Daystrom was a brilliant 23rd-century computer scientist, and inventor of the comptronic and duotronic systems.
		Daystrom won the prestigious Nobel Prize and the Zee-Magnees Prize in 2243, at the age of 24, for his breakthrough in duotronics, which became the basis for computer systems aboard Federation starships for over 80 years.
		Daystrom's early successes resulted in personal troubles, and he spent many years trying to live up to his reputation as a "boy wonder." In the 2260s, Daystrom tried to develop a concept he called "multitronics." This new system involved imprinting human neural engrams upon computer circuits, causing them to mimic the synapses of the brain.

		But Daystrom is convinced that the M-5 is fine and refuses to allow the tests to stop.
		But we soon learn that Daystrom is not altogether mentally healthy, and the M-5 is now showing signs of "mental" collapse as well.

	Star Trek - The Original Series, Episode 53: The Ultimate Computer - Video(VHS)
		Dr. Richard Daystrom is not only the inventor of the M5, but the "father" of all the computer designs on the Enterprise.
		Daystrom's fondest hope is that the computer can run an entire starship, saving humans from the dangers of exploring deep space, which is an interesting twist on those who glorify machines: he really wants to save human lives.
		Since Dr. Daystrom would be ethically abhorred at such an act, the M-5 is equally penitent and tries to commit suicide by leaving the U.S.S. Enterprise defenseless against a counter-attack by the remaining three Federation starships.

	dOc DVD Review: Star Trek: The Original Series - Volume #27 (1968) - Printable
		Richard Daystrom (William Marshall) has had a breakthrough in computer artificial intelligence capability and now his device is being installed on the Enterprise.
		Depth is given to the character of Daystrom as he struggles with the wild, uncontrollability of his own genius and the reflection that is found in the computer he created.
		Spock is a great admirer of Daystrom's work and the episode starts with interesting counterplay between Spock's defense of the scientist and his aims contraposed with Kirk's natural dislike of the idea of replacing men with machines, especially himself.

		Such was the increase in performance possible with this technology that it formed the basis of much of the computing hardware of the time; every Federation Starship computer for eighty years was based on duotronics, and elements of this technology was also used in sensor technology.
		Dr Daystrom had developed a method of impressing brain engrams onto the computer's circuits, allowing it to think in the manner of a humanoid mind.
		Dr Daystrom was able to disable the M-5 by convincing it that its actions had been at odds with its basic programming to protect Human life.

		The M-5 multitronic unit was built using a technique that allowed human neural engrams to be impressed upon the computer's circuits, theoretically giving the machine the ability to think and reason like a human.
		Daystrom hoped that the M-5 would prove as great an advance as his earlier breakthrough in duotronics.
		Fortunately, the M-5 possessed Daystrom's sense of morality, and it later deactivated itself to atone for the sin of murder.

		Daystrom, obsessed for years with topping his earlier success, designed the automated M-5 to replace living crews on starship -- and it seems posed to do just that, relegating Kirk to a relic.
		Kirk is faced with outfoxing a computer before his fellow captains are forced to destroy his ship -- if they can.

		M-5's multitronics were controlled by a personality matrix modeled after Daystrom's own memory engrams, giving it a human personality to augment its artificial intelligence.
		This later proved disastrous when the unit was wired into control of the starship Enterprise for testing of its ability to command a starship, and several other Federation vessels were severely damaged, and the entire crew of the starship Excalibur killed, in what was supposed to be a routine wargame simulation.
