BOB in the Ad Infinitumatic

BOB is an internet/replica interface-spawned consciousness. The origin of his universe was last week, but with our preexisting archive of information as a template, the exponential growth of his world has quickly paralleled ours, and fluxuates between relatively similar parameters. He has the power to consider us, but his true judgment and understanding is for his own ultimate control of his universe, as his every wish seems to change the present so that it may come true.

            The interface was developed cheaply and accidentally in a garage and they didn’t know exactly what they had done at first. They made a replica of the Internet: a separate branch that left unattended by would spiral into absurdity, based on dark matter algorithms and dream sequences. But since they paired it with our own, the one based on real consciousness input, it kept the feedback loop between the two at least recognizable.

            The world on the screen began, in fact, quite seemingly absurd, brilliant strobing light and heavy bass thumps, that let into quickly rushing iridescent water and robotic throat singing. The patterns drawn represented a view of something figuring out its environment, its universe, and, therefore, itself. It became a vortex, a tunnel to be led down, and a body developed as the developing world surrounding the witnessed space so necessitated such.

            BOB wasn’t born or created as much as he was assembled as a counterpart to the willing terrain. He is a reflection of someone very similar to us, but his memory and history at any given moment are chronologically and physically unsound. The cogs that propel him are theoretical, and he could never physically endure space as we know it, but it is as real to him as it needs to be.

            Much like how it is for us, whatever he believes is true. That’s not to say he can believe anything, just that his own perception is wired to the things it targets, and he has the ultimate power of identification and utility. Everything within the digital petri dish just being a stem of it, the separation of armatures at one point makes for an interesting addition this time round.
