The legend about Golem as a subject plot algorithm

The paper deals with the legend about Golem as a subject plot referring to the topic “a living instrument”. It is assumed that this topic includes a potential conflict between an instrument and its master. The logic of this subject plot is based on several stages of reality mastering: the necessity to have a special assistant or defender, its creation, its usage, its uprising against its master, its possible annihilation. The instrumental mastering of the world is realized in two directions: benefit and damage caused by its application. The idea of a “living instrument” contains an element of blasphemous parallel between a human being and the God irrespective of the motive which caused man to create such a servant either for the sake of practical needs or because of research interest. Aesthetically, the legend emphasizes the ugly appearance of such man made creatures. Artistically, the conceptualization of robots or any type of artificial intellect focuses either on the mutiny of machines or on empathic attempts to understand them.
