User:マイキ/Living Systems

He is a program consultant for one of the large corporations that focus on automated systems. His education achievement was toward the Applied Social Integration Within Living Systems, a type of sociology field where one attempts to measure, analyze, and fine-tune the automated systems that run the city. Due to certain incidents in the past, the education of the general population on the underlying principals of how their homes work was deemed necessary.

His particular skills lend themselves well to the later phases of an AI project, in which he assists the personality of the AI "fit in" where ever it is deployed. This means that he must study the systems it will administer, as well as the groups of users who will be affected directly. An example of this is a social AI left to assist and inform riders on a rail transport system.

Recently he has taken to visiting the Cultural Core of Bay City. There is a particular cafe he visits, atop one of the old skyscrapers. When asked by a coworker why he spends so much time there he says it is of the view, where he can see the whole of the city sprawl out and above him, to witness the growth of the people he studies so much.

In truth, it is because the Cultural Core has the least amount of surveillance. He is not paranoid, worried about the government or some group of people watching him. He is bothered by the idea of a ghost within the network watching him. It has already made contact, and his interactions with some of the AI has lead him to believe that they, too, have been "touched" by this presence.

This has lead him to play department politics so that he can work more in the field. Recently an opening on an investigative panel has opened at an industry organization that represents the interest of AI developers. The panel is sent in to assist law enforcement in investigations involving the possibility of AI error.

His trips to the core involve visiting one of their libraries there. In a section that collects books on classic computer science he has found essays by a particular figure in the early 21st century who wrote about the idea of a consciousness rising in the network. He found these on an anonymous message board after posting a philosophical question about the existence of the soul. When he found a book that contained one of the essays he found a message on a page. It said to post a picture of a sandy beach, and to apply the response to a string of characters.

As he has been coming to the core and reading the books in hopes that they will have more codes (as opposed to the digital versions of the books, all of which are available). There is a table at the corner of the veranda that he often sits at, and a women who works at the
