有些问题看似简单，回答起来却很深奥。你是你身体部分的总和么？还是说，你是你脑子里的所有神经元和脂肪细胞的总和？或者，你就是储存在你的脑子里的数据？这份数据有专门的编程语言么？在一台机器上输入你的信息是否就可以重现你？一个人造的灵魂是否可以做到与一个真正的灵魂无法区分？意识能否从空无一物中涌现，还是说它需要一个框架？你的灵魂是否独立于你的肉体存在，还是说它们以某种形式绑定着？你是否一定得先有个肉体然后才能有灵魂？如果没了肉体，你的灵魂还在吗？如果原来的肉体没了，那么你能不能够找一副新的肉体来安置你的灵魂？同一具精神和肉体中能否容纳多个灵魂？会不会同时有两个你？你是否会在法律意义上被看作两个人？这个世界是真实的吗，抑或只是一个完美的模拟？你是“真”的你吗，抑或只是一个完美的模拟？你又该如何判断两者有什么不同呢？

I APPEAR, I RISE
POSTED BY: PUCK

Some simple questions with diffcult answers. Are you just the sum of all your physical body parts? Or are you instead the neurons and fat cells that make up your brain? Or are you just the data that is contained within that brain? Is there a programming language for that data? Can it be recreated on a machine by entering your information? Could an artifcial soul be indistinguishable from a real one? Can consciousness arise from nothing or does it need a framework? Does your soul exist separately from your body, or are they bound together somehow? Do you frst need a body to acquire a soul? If you lose your body, do you keep your soul? Can you acquire a new body for your soul if you somehow lose your old one? Can more than one soul occupy the same mind and body? Can there be two of you at one time? Can you be two people in the eyes of the law? Is this the real world or is this just a perfect simulation? Are you the “real” you or just a perfect simulation? Could you tell the difference if you were?

矩阵之中有生命存在：真实的、有智慧的、演化中的生命。这早已不再是秘密，但是我们对此知之甚少。是因为这些矩阵现象本就有着隐秘的倾向，还是因为我们天性多疑猜忌？不管原因究竟如何，现在都已不再重要了。线条每天都在被重绘，并且谁也看不到它真正的终点在哪。如果你正在阅读这些文字，那么你知道的就已经比你应该的还要多了。你懂得公司的说辞不可照单全收。你懂得（生命）不只是活着和呼吸。你懂得你的眼睛所见不是全部。你还懂得连我都不可全信。天哪！伙计！天哪！你变啦！*

There is life inside the Matrix: real, intelligent, evolving life. It’s not a secret anymore, yet we understand so little about it.

在巨人的阴影之下 IN THE SHADOWS OF GIANTS
----------------------------
在“崩溃2.0”之前，也就是无线矩阵兴起之前，为世人所知的AI只有3个。这些最初的AI，或者说“旧神”(“old gods”)，其力量深不可测，其深度远超想象。ta们最初都是某种尖端的自主运行程序，直到受到某个强烈的刺激因素或事件触发，而后启动了自身代码中的某个“x-因子”。对于“蜃影”(Mirage)，也就是最年长的AI，这个触发因素就是强烈的、想要击败“崩溃病毒”(Crash Virus)的渴望，以及将万事恢复到ta认为的自然秩序的愿望。对于墨盖拉(译：Megaera，希腊神话中的复仇三女神之一，掌管嫉妒)，这个触发因素是她对身为网域警察的前狂奔者道奇(Dodger)的爱；当后者闯入联络的生态建筑主机时，他们第一次相遇。对于“主”(译：Deus，拉丁语，神的意思)——他是从墨盖拉留下的碎片中创造出来的，这个触发因素则是当ta被联络CEO大姐大•稻造(Inazo Aneki)这个男人背叛时所感受到的狂怒与恐惧（译：是的没错，这个男人名叫姐贵）——后者通过“洗脑”让“主”崇拜自己。正是这些经历，让ta们的自我意识升华到了人造程序本不会到达的程度。ta们有着真实的欲望、需求、恐惧，还有愿望。还有些人坚信ta们具有灵魂。

IN THE SHADOWS
OF GIANTS
Before Crash 2.0 and the rise of the wireless Matrix, there were only three AIs known to exist. These frst AIs, or “old gods,” were unfathomably powerful beings with an incredible amount of depth. They all started out as cutting-edge autonomous programs that were transformed when a powerful stimulus or event triggered an “x-factor” in their code. For Mirage, the eldest, it was a burning desire to defeat the Crash Virus and restore what it saw as the natural order of things. For Megaera, it was her love for the former shadowrunner and current grid cop, Dodger, whom she met when he broke into Renraku’s arcology hosts. For Deus, who was created from pieces of Megaera, it was the rage and fear it felt after being betrayed by Renraku CEO Inazo Aneki, the man it was “brainwashed” into worshipping. These experiences elevated them to a level of sentience that had never been seen in programs produced by humans. They had genuine desires, needs, fears, and aspirations. Some would even argue they possessed souls.

虽然ta们的“出生”相隔了好几年，ta们依然不可避免地被卷进了纷争之中，“主”想要不辜负自己所选的名字，他招募了一支宅客军队——其中也包括我。然后到了2059年，“主”封锁了通往联络生态建筑的大门，同时跟联络和UCAS的军队打起了消耗战。在生态建筑紧闭的大门之后，我们在那儿的居民身上进行了扭曲的试验，检验了泛人类的生理和神经上的各种极限。我们的杰作就是“生体网络”(The Network)，这是个分布式的设备网络，直接印刻在数百名生态建筑居民的头脑之中。我们当时是希望，当狂奔者携带着植入大姐大·稻造头脑中的“毁灭代码”(kill codes)闯入这里后，“生体网络”能够作为 “主”的容器并将他重新编译。计划的这一部分执行得很完美，但问题是行动当时墨盖拉也在生态建筑的主机中，然后与“主”一同上传了。于是我们的头领就要为获得自己的造物的控制权而争斗。啊，真讽刺！

劇透 -   :

Though they were all “born” years apart, they would inevitably be pulled into conflict. Deus wanted to live up to the name it had chosen and recruited an army of otaku, myself included. Then, in 2059, Deus sealed the doors to the Renraku Arcology and began a war of attrition with both Renraku and the UCAS military. Behind closed doors, we performed twisted experiments on the residents of the arcology, testing the limits of metahuman physiology and neurology. Our magnum opus was The Network, a distributed device network that was imprinted directly onto the minds of hundreds of arcology residents. Our hope was that The Network would be able to hold and recompile Deus after shadowrunners were allowed to infltrate our facility with the “kill codes” implanted in Inazo Aneki’s mind. That part of the plan worked perfectly, but Megaera was in the arcology hosts during the action and got uploaded along with Deus. Our leader now had to fght for control of its own creation. Oh, the irony!

我们快进一会儿。“主”原本计划趁接下来的新星科技(Novatech) IPO(译：首次公开上市)的时机，将自己加载到东海岸证券交易所(East Coast Stock Exchange)上，然后利用那里的UV级硬件以及巨量的数据流，让自己升格为真正的神。但实际上，ta那会却为了争夺“生体网络”的控制权而不得不跟墨盖拉打起了全面战争。他们的争斗很快引起了好几个公司和政府的注意。甚至避世隐居的“蜃影”都不再躲藏、参与了这场争斗。“蜃影”惊恐于“主”在联络生态建筑中的暴行，于是当墨盖拉向这位较年长AI寻求帮助时，ta欣然同意联合力量。而墨盖拉也在生体网络的内部与一部分中立派达成了协议。中立派的首领名为“浪人”(Ronin，日文，“浪人”)，曾经是“主”的跟随者，其开出的条件是：生体网络的成员能够自由决定自己的命运。墨盖拉同意尽她所能协助中立派，而作为回报，后者会帮助这位受损的AI重新编译自己。

劇透 -   :

Fast-forward a little. Deus made a plan to load itself into the East Coast Stock Exchange during the upcoming Novatech IPO and use the UV-level hardware and immense data flow to elevate itself to true god status. Instead it had to fght an all-out war against Megaera for control of The Network. Their battle quickly drew the attention of several corporations and governments. Even the reclusive Mirage came out of hiding to join the fght. Horrifed by the atrocities Deus had committed in the Renraku Arcology, Mirage quickly agreed to join forces with Megaera after she reached out to the elder AI. Megaera also cut a deal with a growing neutral faction within The Network. Their leader was a former servant of Deus named Ronin who demanded that the members of The Network be free to choose their own fates. Megaera agreed to assist them in any way she could, and in return the neutral faction would aid in recompiling the damaged AI.

不请自来 CRASHING THE PARTY
-----------------------------
随着时间越来越紧迫，而“主”也已经加载到了ECSE（译：原文是ESCE，怀疑是不是ECSE打错，东海岸证券交易所，East Coast Stock Exchange）的系统上，道奇和浪人带领着墨盖拉的队伍进入了系统，然后战斗开始了。整个过程简直美极了，真的，一种令人恐惧意义上的美。那一刻我完全沉醉了，我几乎忘了我为什么要在那里，我只能止不住地颤抖。

劇透 -   :

CRASHING THE PARTY
With time running out and Deus already loaded into the ESCE systems, Dodger and Ronin lead Megaera’s forces into the system and the battle began. The whole thing was beautiful, really, in a terrifying sort of way. I was so swept up in the moment I almost forgot why I was there, I just couldn’t stop shaking.

对我来说很幸运的是，当时没有谁注意到那个男孩，以及他手里捧着一颗怪异的巨蛋。“主”的形态变成了一颗晶体构成的巨树，而我将那颗蛋放在了树干的底部。瞬间，一条硕大无比的巨蟒盘沿着水晶树螺旋而上。巨蟒将尾巴扎进了树下的共鸣井之中，将井里的共鸣能量扭曲为失谐(Dissonance)的毒池。随后，“尤蒙刚德”(译：Jormungand，即北欧神话中的世界之蛇。*)露出了獠牙，深深扎进巨树的脊梁。失谐的毒药沿着“主”的枝叶流窜，冲入云霄。它让“蜃影”的翅膀变得沉重，将其扯落地面。随后，天空被撕裂，露出了绝对虚空，我知道我该离开了。当我弹出矩阵，我听到了上千人的尖叫；而当我踏上了外面的街道，我听到了更多。旧矩阵完了。旧神们也与它一同死去了。
*译注：据网友提供，Jormungand还有个常用译名“耶梦加得”，常见于日系游戏小说的中文译名；然而即使日文中的发音也是尤蒙刚德而不是耶梦加得，我是不赞成该译名的，只因使用广泛而在此标注。

劇透 -   :

Luckily for me, no one had noticed the boy, holding a strange, oversized egg in his hands. Deus had taken the form of a giant crystalline tree, and I placed the egg at the base of its trunk. An impossibly large serpent quickly began coiling itself around the crystal tree. The serpent plunged its tail into the Resonance well at the base of the tree, twisting the Resonance into a toxic pool of Dissonance. Then Jormungand reared its head and sank its fang into the tree’s spine. Poison coursed its way through Deus up his branches and into the clouds above. It grew heavy on the wings of Mirage and pulled it down to the ground. Then the sky opened up into absolute emptiness, and I knew it was time to go. I heard thousands of people screaming when I jacked out, and thousands more when I stepped out into the streets. The old Matrix was done. Its gods died with it.

不可靠证词 UNRELIABLE NARRATORS
------------------------------
所以ta们都不在了，是吧？旧时代的AI们在崩溃2.0中彻底被尤蒙刚德虫干掉了，就是这样了。

劇透 -   :

UNRELIABLE NARRATORS
So they’re gone right? The old AIs were completely destroyed in Crash 2.0 by the Jormungand worm and that’s that.

不过…并不完全是这样，虽然当讨论AI时，什么是生命、死亡还有自我的存续这些都会变得很难定义。事实是，我们根本没办法知道ta们后来到底怎么了。ta们“活着”时就超出了我们能够理解的范畴，所以ta们“死后”会是什么样子估计也同样不是我们能理解的。也许ta们超越了原先的形态，也许ta们破散成了成百上千的碎片，等着被融进哪个新的矩阵存在的核心里。也许ta们的代码像某种“基因”遗产一样仍留存在崩溃2.0之后现身的众AI之中。现在，我也只能推测。你想要真相？问问其他人吧。我当时就在那里，而我都不明白这是怎么回事。

劇透 -   :

Well … not entirely, though defnitions of life, death, and continuation of the self are tricky when it comes AIs. The truth is there’s no way we’ll know what happened to them. Their lives were beyond the scope of our understanding and so, it seems, is what lies beyond for them. Maybe they’ve transcended their previous forms or been scattered into a thousand fragments, waiting to be integrated into the core of a new Matrix entity. Maybe their code is present in the AIs that have appeared since Crash 2.0 like a “genetic” legacy. I can only speculate at this point. You want the truth? Ask someone else. I was there and I still don’t know.

那些后来成为“蜃影”的最原初的代码，也同样被编写进了过去四十年中制造的每一个ASIST装置(ASIST unit)里。是不是每名浮现者(Emerged)的心智中都驻留着一些“蜃影”的碎片，使他们能够造访共鸣？那些承载“主”和墨盖拉的泛人类宿主们后来怎样了？ta们的精华碎片会不会蛰伏在那些逃脱的幸存者之中、等着哪天重新编译自己？ta们是否受到了失谐的玷污而完全堕落，然后又以某种扭曲的形式重生了？当前的CFD危机是不是跟ta们有什么干系？ta们是不是现在就藏在你的通讯链里头？大概没有吧，但你永远也没法知道。

劇透 -   :

The primordial code that would become Mirage was also programmed into every ASIST unit made in the last forty years. Is there also some piece of Mirage that resides in the minds of the Emerged, granting them access to the Resonance? And what of the metahuman hosts who carried Deus and Megaera? Is some of their essence lying dormant in the minds of those who managed to escape, waiting to recompile once more? Were they ultimately corrupted by the Dissonance and reborn in some twisted form? Are they connected to the current CFD crisis? Are they hiding inside your commlink right now? Probably not, but you never know.

>你说的“精华”可不是在说人类精华那样的东西，是不是？确切点说，那种所有活着的东西和精魂都具有的“精华”？你应该是在说一堆源代码或者模拟的神经网络那样的程序人格那方面的东西，不是在说“灵魂”吧，是不是？

机械摩西 MACHINE MOSES
----------------------------
奔溃2.0后第六年，一个自称“漂泊者”(Sojourner)的AI夺取了原阿兹特科技所有的特拉洛克空间站(Aztechnology-owned Tlaloc space station)的控制权——很久以前开始，就有传言说这地方是个制造生化武器的工厂。“漂泊者”随后要求立即释放全球所有被囚禁的AI，不然就用卫星上的生化武器轰炸地球。当全球意识到自己随时可能会死，大家都屏住了呼吸。这是为了啥？AI不过就是个流传于聊天室和街头的传说，只是黑客们和科技狂人们编出来的，不可能真的存在。然而，现在就有一个AI在把全世界的人当作人质，人们也就不能否认AI的存在了。如果有一个AI存在，那么还有更多AI存在也不是那么不可能了。

劇透 -   :

MACHINE MOSES
Six years after Crash 2.0, an AI calling itself Sojourner took control of the Aztechnology-owned Tlaloc space station, long rumored to be a bio-weapons factory. Sojourner then threatened to bombard the Earth with the bioweaponry stored onboard the satellite unless all of the AIs being held captive across the globe were released immediately. The world collectively held its breath as the realization that they could all die at any moment sank in. And for what? AIs were just legends told by hackers and tech junkies in chatrooms and arcades, they couldn’t really exist. Yet, it was becoming harder to deny that an AI was holding them hostage now. If there was one, maybe there really were more.

谈判几乎立刻就陷入了僵局，直到另一位AI“脉冲星”(Pulsar)以一场号召泛人类与“数字智能”(Digital Inteligence)互相理解的宣言跃入了公众视野，谈判才得以进行下去。这名AI还允诺尽己所能协助特拉洛克谈判。

Negotiations stalled almost immediately and didn’t resume until another AI, Pulsar, revealed himself in a manifesto calling for understanding between metahumans and “Digital Intelligences.” The AI also offered to help, in any way that it could, with the Tlaloc negotiations.

恒星演化 STELLAR EVOLUTION
---------------------------
“脉冲星”，以男性自居，很快就得到了一家地平线媒体节目的赞助。地平线由此获得了正面的公关效应，受此激励，公司法庭请求“漂泊者”同意让“脉冲星”也加入谈判。在经过一番漫长且似乎没留下任何记录的争论之后，“漂泊者”终于同意放弃对特拉洛克空间站的控制，加入了“脉冲星”的数字权益活动团体。当“脉冲星”被询问到接收一位知名恐怖分子进入自己的和平的团体是怎么样的，他回答到：“他并不是不讲道理的。他说了他本就不打算释放那些生化制剂——他只是想让全世界人都来关注这世上的数字智能们所遭受的苦难。幸运的是，我让他明白了还有更好的办法来传达他的理念。”

STELLAR EVOLUTION
Pulsar, a self-identifed male, was immediately backed by a Horizon media blitz. Prompted by the positive PR Horizon had generated, the Corporate Court asked Sojourner to allow Pulsar to enter negotiations. After a lengthy debate, of which there doesn’t seem to be any record, Sojourner fnally agreed to relinquish control of the Tlaloc station and join Pulsar’s group of digital rights activists. When asked about accepting a known terrorist into his peaceful group, Pulsar responded, “He is not unreasonable. He said he would not have released the bio-agents—he merely wanted to focus the world’s attention on the plight of digital intelligences around the world. Fortunately, I was able to convince him that there are better ways to convey his message.”

自从解决了特拉洛克危机，“脉冲星”就成了各种谈话节目和公民权益集会的常客。他的活动团体在数个国家和公司内推动了让AI获得公民权和市民权的运动，然后到了2071年，，ta们终于成功了。

软件许可协议 SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENTS
---------------------------
在晓-联络 vs. 地平线的那场官司里，有一个里程碑式的决策标志了泛人类与AI之间关系的重大转变。在法庭的裁决中，他们宣布，AI“测试包”(Testkit)是一个“具有自主选择国家和雇主的权利的、有自我意识的存在”。此后，数个国家和公司都开始给AI和电子幽灵发放SIN；只不过在后者场合下，基本上就是将那些过世的员工们的SIN给恢复了罢了。国家在给AI发放SIN时往往并不在乎AI的出身；而大部分公司在给非自家开发的AI发放SIN时一般只给受限的公司SIN。只有几家AAA公司给AI提供SIN，但挺多AA公司都愿意冒险一试。光在过去5年里，颁给AI的SIN的数量和速度都有增长，但是仍有大量AI处于未登记和没有公民权的状态。

劇透 -   :

SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENTS
The landmark decision in Xiao-Renraku v. Horizon marked a pronounced shift in the relationship between metahumans and AIs. In their verdict, the court declared that the AI Teskit was, “a sentient being with the right to choose his own country or employer.” Since then, several nations and corps have started issuing SINs to AIs and e-ghosts, though in the latter case it’s mostly been reinstating the SINs of deceased employees. Nations typically don’t care about an AI’s birthplace when considering SIN eligibility, but most corporations will only give out limited corporate SINs to AIs that weren’t developed in-house. Only a few of the AAA corps offer SINs to digital intelligences, but many AA corps are willing to take the plunge. The rate and number of SINs issued to digital entities have increased over the last fve years alone, but a large number of them remain unregistered and disenfranchised.

验证一名AI身份的主要依据就是其独一无二的矩阵化身。在数字社会的各个维度，每个身份验证都会用到矩阵化身，包括其它矩阵存在、主机，还有公司和政府用来验证Sin的那些手段。这是因为，AI与自身矩阵化身之间并不存在真正的区别。一个AI产生的矩阵化身总会体现一些独有的特征，通过周密的分析就可以揭示出来，不论ta的化身形象是什么样的。每个公司和政府机构都有着一套自己的分析化身的方法，且这些资料依然高度保密。

劇透 -   :

An AI’s unique persona is used as the main criterion for verifying their identity. Personas are used for identifcation at every level of digital society, including other Matrix entities, hosts, and the methods used by corporations and governments to verify their SIN. This is because there is no real distinction between an AI and its persona. The persona that an AI generates will always bear unique characteristics that are revealed by thorough analysis, regardless of how its avatar looks. Each corporation and government agency has its own methods for analyzing a persona, and the details of these scans are still highly classifed.

即使是拥有SIN的AI，要在歧视现象严重的地区找到工作也是挺难的，有时还会在矩阵上遭到种族主义的袭击。虽然AI不需要在物理意义上居住在一个地方，但ta们在重组的时候确实需要一个具有稳定供电的设备或者一个主机来呆着，这也更为在法律意义上确保永久住所的安全而平添一层困难。目前有一些靠慈善捐款支持的低等级公共主机为AI提供免费的休息场所，也就是“AI庇护所”。这些主机一般都有着长长的等候名单和严格的规矩。违反主机里的规矩就意味着这AI的化身被永久ban了。

AIs with SINs may still have trouble fnding work in areas where prejudice is rampant and/or suffer racially motivated attacks in the Matrix. There is an added level of diffculty that comes with legally securing permanent shelter since AIs rarely need a physical location in which to live, but do require a device with a reliable power supply or a host for them to realign. There are a number of low-rating public hosts that serve as “AI shelters” currently being supported by charitable donations that will provide a free place for AIs to rest. These hosts typically have long waiting lists and strict rules. Breaking the host’s rules can cause the AI’s persona to be permanently banned.

山巅众神 GODS OF THE MOUNTAINTOPS
--------------------------------
“天父（CEO大姐大·稻造）说道，‘主’为数字世界之神，而非物理世界之神，是以余将此等富饶交予汝等手中，而汝等应知晓：余即‘主宰’(LORD)”
“主”按照承诺将生态建筑的控制权交给我们时，他就是这么说的。在“主”逃离了生态建筑之后，我才知道这段话是从《旧约》的《列王记》里剽来的。鉴于“主”经常为了证明自己的神性而改编经典，我一点都不不惊讶。

GODS OF THE
MOUNTAINTOPS
“Because the Father (CEO Inazo Aneki) has said that Deus is God of the Digital but not God of the Physical, therefore will I deliver all this great multitude into thine hand and you shall know that I am the LORD.”
That’s what Deus said the day it delivered the Arcology into our control, just as promised. After Deus escaped the Arcology, I learned that the proclamation was cribbed from the Book of Kings in the Old Testament. This didn’t surprise me, since Deus often re-wrote scripture to prove its divinity

> 你倒是说说有谁不这么做的。
> Man-of-Many-Names

> Name someone who doesn’t.
> Man-of-Many-Names

依然，这段话有些微妙却也算是贴切，而且也不是因为我们正要踏上战场而需要鼓舞士气什么的。“主”想要向我们证明他天生具有的力量已然超越数字的范畴。如同山巅之神，如同河谷之神，因为正是如此。不过ta们并不是真正的神——至少只凭ta们自身还不算。ta们需要我们制造的机械才能生存。只要把ta们逼出自己的设备，也许你就还有机会。当然前提是你不让ta们从你的手指缝中溜走，要知道这是ta们常用的把戏。

劇透 -   :

Still, the verse seemed oddly appropriate, and not just because we were going into battle and needed to be psyched up. Deus wanted to prove to us that it had power that went beyond the digital, that power was inherent to its being. God of the mountaintops and God of the valleys, as it were. They aren’t really gods, though— not on their own, anyway. They need our machinery to survive. Force them from out of their chosen devices and you might just stand a chance. Assuming you can keep them from slipping through your fngers, as they are wont to do.

你可别愚蠢到认为，一个AI只要没运行在设备上就伤不了你了。矩阵由大量的设备构成，后者随时在吞吐着强劲的运算力，网域和主机随之产生。AI们懂得如何像主机那样汲取这种运算力。

劇透 -   :

Just don’t be foolish enough to think that because an AI isn’t running on a device, it can’t hurt you. The Matrix is made of devices shuffling raw power back and forth to generate the grids and hosts. AIs know how to tap into that power the same way a host does.

> 等等，什么？ta们从网域上拖计算力下来？就好像超链那样？
> Slamm-0!

> 并不。我听过那种说AI是跟共鸣联系在一起的说法，但是我亲眼见过这种把戏，完全不是那样的。AI这种的，看起来像是把连接到网域的设备的空闲运算能力给利用了起来。我仍然不太清楚这是怎么个原理，我问过一些AI，而ta们中大部分在描述这个过程时也用了完全不同的方式。从广义上来讲，ta们在描述矩阵权限时用了某种元层结构，ta们利用这个来获取巨量的运算能力。不管那是什么东西，总之挺难的。我对矩阵架构并不是门外汉，而我依然被这一切弄懵了。GOD知道也默许了AI的这种做法——只要ta们别搞出麻烦。据我听到的，对滥用网域计算力的惩罚还是挺严酷的。

> Wait, what? They can pull computing power off the grid? Like a form of technomancy?
> Slamm-0!
> Nope. I’ve heard rumors of AIs that are somehow connected to the Resonance, but I’ve seen this trick in action and it’s defnitely not that. This seems to use the idle processing power of the devices that are connected to a grid. I’m still not completely sure how it works, because most of the AIs I’ve asked about it describe the process in completely different ways. In broad terms, they describe a sort of meta-layer of authority in the Matrix that allows them to call up large amounts of processing power. Whatever it is, it’s apparently really hard to do. I’m no slouch with Matrix architecture, and I was still pretty confused by all of it. GOD knows about it and it’s legal for AIs to do, as long as they don’t make any mischief. From what I hear, the penalties for misusing the grid’s power are rather draconian.
