Abstract: Abstract Classic approaches consider errors and mistakes related to inadequate usage or functioning of physical or logical devices. They are usually considered problems to be fixed, like in engineering the ones related to reliability and availability. Mistake making processes or machines are assumed to be repaired. Another phase has been established when considering the role of the observer and the introduction of uncertainty principles. It is then possible to consider processes, at a certain level of description, as observer-related mistake making machines. We discuss the topic related to the possibility to design a mistake making device as a problem having correspondences with designing emergence. Emergence may be considered as a possible error appearing in Mistake Making Processes. We introduce the possibility to design an intrinsically (non observer-related) mistake making device, which has been proposed to be named Spartacus. This project is proposed with reference to the dissipative quantum model of brain. Another approach may be the one related to chaotic neural network designing, introduced in literature as Creativity Machine.
