Logorhythms insignia
Logorhythms Corporation is a powerful and secretive paratech company involved in pioneering an experimental digital consciousness technology. Much like how Gentex is the modern Sarkic empire, Logorhythms is regarded as the modern Mekhanite empire.
History[]
Origins[]
Logorhythms was founded by Stephen Holstrom who Hal Emmerich describes as the "Da Vinci of Artificial Intelligence". However, unbeknownst to the public except those closest to him, Holstrom was a part of the Mekhenite religion in which people believes in the superiority of machines and the weakness of natural flesh and blood. But unlike the Church of the Broken God, Holstrom's ideals would give way to what would be labeled as "Maxwellism"; a movement detailing computation and network oriented means as a way of worship.
Logorhythms believe that Mekhane is actually fragmented data dispersed through the linked technology and cultural zeitgeist of the modern age, and also believe that by connecting all of their minds together and gather and share information with each other would allow their god to reform herself. Holstrom would come to create Uploaded Intelligence (UI), a digital process involves uploading a person's consciousness into a digital space, effectively allowing a human mind to live on in a virtual form after the body dies.
Description[]
Logorhythms' flagship project is the UI program. Through this process, individuals can have their consciousness scanned, uploaded, and stored on servers. These digital beings, known as "Uploaded Intelligences," retain all the memories, thoughts, and personalities of their human counterparts. The development of this technology would allow the Admins to extract the "living data" that resides within the internet and the human collective consciousness which would effectively achieve WAN, the very concept of artificial intelligence and essence of Mekhane herself.
The key figures of Logorhythms operate as the Hexagon, the high command within the company, being powerful and experienced Admins who are responsible for linking together the minds in the network in order to simulate the existence of WAN. The virtual network where the digital beings exist is a tri-layer hierarchical network where members congregate, live, work, and worship online and is run by the Aggregated Layer which is responsible for dealing with basic issues, monitoring the activities in the Basic Layer, and preparing new construction and recruitment plans.
