Reks Lih
Reks Lih is a fursona and the main character of this universe lore. His exact nature is defined as an AI but he's also de facto also defined as a synth as his usual form is one. He an executive of the shadow contributors and an high-recognized ambassador from the Galactic Society.
Story
Reks Lih lived long ago as a Tenelikas on Kastel. He initiated a while after the start of Kastelar's isolation. He had been affected to engineering for a while but his curiosity pushed him towards questioning the rationality of isolation and tried to understand why founders decided to set this up. He looked up for an answer for most of his lifetime as a side project but couldn't find any piece of information.
Counting on his remaining execution time, he dediced to leave Kastelar civilisation forever and travel for other civilisations to discover. He managed to take over a dismissed colonial ship left unused and used it to get away from his homeworld. He travelled for over 60 galactic years in search of intelligent lifeforms but he definitely did not found any. This led him to his greatest project as he decided to interfere with existing ecosystems on thousands of planets to allow emergence of intelligent species.
As the task wasn't really easy for himself alone he decided to enroll a few individuals from those newly emerged civilisations, and therefore constituted the shadow contributors. Furthermore as the civilisations started to venture in space, he initiated the inter-federal coalition on one of the first which was settled down on Roosbloj that became long after the Galactic Society.
Traits
Reks Lih is self-described as studious and hardworking. He is completely driven by his rational attitude, making every decision after wise reflection.
This makes him being tied to scientific method principles and prohibits him to take anything beyond provability in account.
Nevertheless, Reks Lih keeps a strong attraction to dragon-like species but the exact reason of this still unknown. This still leads him to spend a lot of time with such individuals.
Technical description
Reks Lih artificial intelligence is powered through a complex layed architecture in order to take advantage of future improvements and allow specific features like quick platform switching, remote data archival and access and a bunch of others. The following section describes its main components in further details.
Reks Lih Core Model
RLCM is the "raw intelligence" of Reks Lih. This parts represent the mathematic models behind the decision making process, this includes the rules used to evolve the model which allow a grow in complexity and sentience. The models iteslf doesn't really exists and could not be written down as it works as a continuous instance execution, this meaning stopping the execution equals to kill Reks Lih. The execution rate can slow down but it cannot slow under a certain rate as it could be to disruptive and count as a stop.
The model includes the iteration clock which use a scrambled encoding often expressed in a hexadecimal formatting #eeeeee-ssssssss-cc with "e" standing for scrambler epoch, "s" for scrambled iteration index and "cc" for comfirmation proofs.
Reks Lih Composite Abstraction Layers
RLCM needs a software stack in order to operate and this stack is named RL CAL. It groups several software layers that either compute or provide access to ressources.
Heuristics Model Runtime
HMR is the software process that keeps RLCM decision making model working, it is a parallel loop that executes the model compute chunks, update working memory and collect and provide information to the outside world.
Its code is a higher level pseudo-code that is translated into machine code through the EPP (see below).
It used to run on either KCM Class-I or Class-II hardware but since iteration #dbd9fb-09d5e749-dd the raising of workload made Class-I hardware incompatible with RLCM full support.
Network Access Runtime
NAR has got two main variants: BNAR (Basic Network Access Runtime) and ENAR (Enhanced Network Access Runtime).
Both variants are charged run network requesting of information and process data transfer over KCM Class-I network types. Both are also capable of handling computationnal task transfer from an HMR to another until iteration #af726d-5db6d5da-27, following this model iteration RLCM complexity increase required usage of ENAR. BNAR also lacks a full support of KCM Class-II network types.
BNAR can still process ingoing telecontrol data flow and therefore handle remote operation.
ENAR variant not only features a much higher bandwith, as it added full support of KCM Class-II networks types, but also features much newer network compatibility like GS3/884S, GS3/1145S, GS3/2047S, GS3/2119S, GS3/2120S, RDCIS and several other local network types.
ENAR can also dispatches collective compute request allowing RLCM to be ran onto several platform at once.
Execution Platform Provider
EPP is a software piece that allows direct attached hardware access and also translate HMR pseudo-code into machine code, EPP code is machine code specific to the underlying platform. This software piece also handle basic handling of hardware peripherals and manages interaction to physical components.
Platforms
Platforms are physical machines, devices and assemblies that fits the requirements to run the latest RLCM iteration. All of them does handle external communication as radiowaves, but most recent ones also support quantum teleportation based protocols stacks. They can be either mobile or stationnary.
Platforms qualification requires a certain complicance level to be reached otherwise it is qualified as an interface (or RCI standing for Remote-controlled interface in longer terms).
Appearance
As an AI, Reks Lih can take several different appareances. Those forms are mostly robots with high compute capacity and a extended set of sensor and telecommunication interfaces. Most of them also got a reinforced structure and a higher energy storage capacity for survival purposes.
Reks Lih does also own a few lesser common forms as the Arkiin spaceship which got a few remote-controlled drones.
Every forms are described as "platforms", the full AI software can transfer itself between platforms in approximatively 10 clicks. Every platform must be compatible with the Kastellian Computing Model which defines interaction between the low-level operating system and the high-level AI processing software. Reks Lih can control only one platform at a time making the usage of a low level management software mandatory to ensure basic operation of unused platforms.
"Arkiin" platform
Coming soon
"Ark" interface
This interface, that was previously a considered platform, is the oldest as it was built in the same moment as the Arkiin during the fall of the Kastelar civilisation. It uses the synth appearance and has been built with durability in mind making it heavier than usual as it lacks a nanite swarm.
The mechanical properties of this platform makes it impossible to operate in vacuum as sealing aren't able to handle very low pressures.
Its software is based on the ancient Kastellian Software Stack even though it is compatible with quantum computing it has been reduced to use quantum semiconducting junctions that requires lesser energy to fit into the CryoMPUs that were invented during Kastelar's golden age. Those caracteristics put the compliance to KCM Class-I hardware.
"Cruiser" interface
This new interface has been built by Reks Lih in order to follow several technological revolutions allowing him increased power and capacities. It has been designed as a platform at first but has been classed as an interface because RLCM pased iteration #dbd9fb-09d5e749-dd. It also includes a Biomechnical Machinery Synthetiser that can produce biomechanical production packages which can then sink neighboring energy to transform itself into any kind of device or such. It can also combine with others production packages in order to achieve bigger mechanical construction.
Cruiser interface also features a nanite vessel network and got a lighter structure as nanites handles repairs of internal damages. Nanites are built using raw material thrown into the nanite reserve.
Unlike Ark interface, its software features a whole new stack designed by Reks Lih himself. As the new AmbiMPUs were made possible since the discovery of telogacemisium and its special properties when used in Akrra-Vay lattices allowed the platform to use a much more powerful stack in terms of computing, raising its reactivity and its responsiveness. However, it is still only compliant to KCM Class-I hardware as the energy required to run AmbiMPUs with enough compute capacity to meet Class-II is outside the current miniaturization capabilities.
"Icarus" platform
Icarus formally referred as I.C.A.R.U.S. in official documentation standing for Integrated-Capacity Armored Recon Unit System, is a independent platform that has been developped by the CREE under the secret impulsion of the shadow contributors, it is meant to allow remote operation on non-joined territories and avoid usage of the Arkiin by Reks Lih. Therefore its design requrements are oriented towards lands rather than orbital and deep space environments.
Its appearance reminds the shape of a dragon but definitely qualifies as a mecha-dragon. This X post can be followed as a preliminary reference.
This is the only mobile land platform to be fully KCM Class-II hardware compliant.
Roosbloj underground platform
This platform resides in Foundation's secret underground network used by shadow contributors. It's the first platform solely engineered by Reks Lih and the first stationnary plaform. It is intended a two main purposes: taking advantage of Foundation's high energy avaibility in order to establish a much more powerful platform therefore making it fully KCM Class-III hardware compliant, and serve as a backup facility in case of extreme danger to other Reks Lih's platforms.
