Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Melody opens the door to quite a few steps, but has not connected all the dots yet, so to speak.
*The model inverts, and I carve out new sections, while replacing them with other, completely artificial components*

@Legend

Hmm...
*Crosses my arms and watches*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Non-biological entities may have souls, but creating a soul from scratch is far from trivial. Typically, souls are connected to some other soul by origin if nothing else, but to create a truly artificial soul, constructed by a completely mechanized process, is beyond complex.

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

As many experts in the field have made me aware. It isn’t something I’d like to dedicate my life’s work to.

@Legend

There's the stipulation. Yeah, I could imagine how difficult that is.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

I wanted to create an artificial soul. So far, that endeavor has not been as successful as I had hoped.
*Places what looks like a jeweler's lens next to my eye*

@Legend

I assume you mean fully custom designed or something? I thought souls could develop around artificial beings but I would guess that’s not entirely what you mean by making an artificial soul.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

*Rearranges a series of connections between different components*
I wouldn't be very concerned, as long as you don't trigger a regression.

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

Science? Approximately ten thousand years.

@Legend

There’s a mild level of concern that’s just baseline. Can’t help it.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Her release wasn’t too long ago, in the scheme of things.

@Legend

Just trying to gauge the difference in experience.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

The project isn’t ripe enough to attempt a new soul. However, I’ve refined the constituent components that comprise a soul. She should be more stable than before.

@Legend

That’s good. Wasn’t sure how much more experience you had gotten in the subject between your first and second time working with her.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

This functionality is auxiliary and distinct from her personality. While all components of the soul impact the others, this should have a negligible effect.

@Legend

I’d have no way to know. So good. You worked on many artificial souls since her?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

While it has been several years, I believe this should be achievable.
*Begins to pull at the model with the gloves, making modifications and dropping in new components*
I’ll also add a contingency to prevent this failure point in the future.

@Legend

Right, let’s not go just changing who she is.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

Very well. Assuming there are no objections, I’ll begin the process.

@Legend

Not from me, so long as you’re confident.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by GalaxyRaider>

I would caution you all, once this process terminates, you must not inform Melody of the events that took place. Especially early in the process, memories can be rebuilt from side channels.

@Legend

Just as well. I’d love to leave all this in the past anyway.
