feeling around the design
also, heres the story so far. im literally just stream of consciousness shitting these concepts out, so i apologize for the bad writing haha. i just have to get it out of my system since these ideas have been swimming in my head for the past few days.
before the war (the artwar) nur coincidentally paired with a symbiotic AI. the AI needs a human brain to survive, since the human brain possesses the computing power for it to remain conscious. nano technology just isnt where it needs to be for the AI to exist autonomously. it jumped from host to host, using a combination of the previous (dead) hosts brain matter and convenient mechanical scraps to subsist autonomously for a short while. then, it met nur, the perfect companion. the transition was difficult to say the least, but after only a month, integration was haphazardly achieved.
through a combination of mechanical, digital, and organic means, the advanced AI allowed nur to access and control the deepest recesses of his mind and spirit. as nur dived deeper, with the aid of the AI, he found something unexpected. deep within his subconscious he found a link to his spirit, and within his spirit, he inexplicably found a connection with everything around him. at the time, this was considered an anomaly by the AI, since the AI did not experience this with any of its previous hosts, but then again, it didnt spend as much time with them. there was much discussion about the topic.
eventually, the AI conceded to Nur and actually found the anomaly intriguing. the cooperation between Nur and the AI allowed them to pursue the matter further. with the logic of the AI and the perseverance of Nur, they were able to dive deeper than ever before, into the inner machinations of the spirit of Nur. through this endeavor, Nur developed psychic powers; telekinesis being one of them. more importantly, and most curiously, they both came to believe in god, stating "i have explored every corner of my inner being. i understand most of it. however its funny that, even with all the answers, we have come to the conclusion that, and i quote, 'rationality does not always end with an understanding of the problem.' the deeper we went, we only found more questions. we were left with no choice but to embrace my spirit, and all of its mysteries. and when we did, completely... i heard something that shook me to the core. i felt what could only be described as a whisper from all around me. stranger still...the AI felt it too."
