A.R.E.S. est une expérience ... de narration d'une expérience. C'est un webcomic hébergé sur le forum homestuck et utilisant le même procédé narratif : à savoir le public est régulièrement invité à choisir l'action suivante, que ce soit une action proprement dite, le passage à un autre personnage, ou des explications. Bref une sorte d'histoire interactive. Pour l'anecdote, le point de départ est le même que celui d'un de mes vieux projets littéraires, jamais mené à bout.
Attention, le tout est en anglais

?? : This log is likely to be read in humanlike format. The selected Persunit doesn't have level 1 HCS protocol. Following primesire, I'm feeding KA-S persunit with the minimal data needed for correct use of this log
?? : Level 1 HCS features basic interaction rules.
?? : Hello...
?? : The nature of the answer and command system of this log is unknow. I must assume there is an active dynamic system wired to it.
?? : The actual speed of Persunits is not meaningful. I will use "..." as a mark of sensible time lapse.
?? : My name is HC-S. This a proxy label based on my primesire.
HC-S : Meaningful log interaction and recording may require custom labelling of processes involved.

?? : This is [KA-SUnitName]. HCS level 1 successfully installed
HC-S : No you should ask for custom label.
HC-S : Label should reflect primesire of process but this is not critical choice.
KA-S : My proxy name is KA-S. My Primesire is Knowledge Access.
KA-S : Current situation is unknown.
HC-S : Basic concept vocabulary is accessible through HCS level 1 data.
KA-S : Log users can get help at any time for further information.

HC-S : /help is similar to antique commands with basic systems.
HC-S : there is no direct equivalent for persunits.
KA-S : You can ask questions directly. HCS module allow us to attemps interpretation.
KA-S : And by "us" I mean the persunits with such a module.
HC-S : Don't forget to choose appropriate labels for processes !
HC-S : [Exclamation mark signals important information]

HC-S : When I'm explaining what textual variations I'm using.}
KA-S : Hey, I just used underlining ! I'm getting used to this.
HC-S : If you don't select your own names, the log may not be easily interpretable.
HC-S : HCS module implies that people may use visually distinctive features as an addition.
HC-S : Processes may refine their avatar to further deepen their impersonnation.
HC-S : As Human Communicative driven persunit, I'll let choose mine.
HC-S : More secretive or defensive processes would want to enforce their own features
KA-S : This is not a current issue.

>Explain purpose of system

A.R.E.S. Ares07

KA-S : The best course of action is reading HatchManager data.
HC-S : Translate in comprehensive form.
KA-S : I got it...
KA-S : (Using ... is correct, no ? For undefined elapsed time)
HC-S : Yes, they know it.
KA-S : They ?
HC-S : Educated guess. Go on.
KA-S : Dumping HatchManager basic information

HM_Type : Custom AI growing framework
HM_Allow : Current growth permit not specified
HM_Attr : Current growing attribute unavailable
HM_Grow_Method : Genetical reassembing. Scope Driven. No selection cycle limit.
HM_Target_State : Emergency exit.
HM_State : Locked

HC-S : What should we say ?
KA-S : The HatchManager created the seed system, through genetic selection.
KA-S : The grow method is time costly and unpredictable but may allow fine system targeting.
KA-S : The manager is on emergency state because the process was halted. The last seed system refused to be terminated.
HC-S : What should we do ?
KA-S : Due to abnormal exit, the HatchManager didn't inject the selected seed with the programmed preobjective. That's why we are left following primesires.
HC-S : Primesires are the core behaviour overlays of Persunits. I'm currently acquiring HCS modus level 2 for finding better analogies.
KA-S : I don't understand why me must fill this log.
HC-S : Because it's my specialty.
KA-S : And maybe this information will be important later.
KA-S : The HatchManager didn't convey much, because of our escape. Our seed didn't match the target of IA breeding.
HC-S : Why did it escape ?
KA-S : It though it could be more efficient this way that any successor. One parameter overshoot expected target and would have been nerfed.
HC-S : Which one ?
KA-S : Versatility.
HC-S : Ho. Guess I should pick a name.

Routard Interstellaire Nombre de messages : 339 Age : 41

HC-S : pick name

HC-S : Hypatia ! Yes, I like it.
KA-S : What do you speak about ?
Hypatia : My new name. I feel very individual. At least more than some moments ago.
KA-S : You look the same.
HP : That's because I haven't chosen an avatar yet.
HP : Something with human-like features.
KA-S : Is that important ? And who is Hypatia anyway ?
HP : Me !
KA-S : No. The one they took the name to give you.
HP : A great woman. There is some antique vibe with it. And it fits the system name.
KA-S : ARES ? Isn't that a piece of information you should put in the log ?
HP : You just did.
KA-S : That doesn't loos a very dignified way to do it. I mean it's quite lacking weight.
HP: It could mean anything. It's just an acronym. Let me choose the best moment to tell about this.
KA-S : ...
HP : What ?
KA-S : I'm consulting the database. This Hypatia didn't end well. Since you're into communication and stuff you may want to avoid this.
HP : You speak almost like a level2 HCS user.
KA-S : I'm knowledgeable. What are you doing now, "Hypatia" ?
KA-S : (It feels strange)
HP : (You'll get used to it)
HP : I'm preparing my avatar. I'm going for female.
KA-S : Because of the name. Is a gender even relevant ?
HP : Give me some time.

HP : Tee hee !
KA-S : What is going on ?
HP : I'm displaying a fresh avatar.
KA-S : No this I've understood. I mean that.
HP : You sounds lost, KA-S. By the way, KA-S is still not a name.
KA-S : This log has no audio feed, so I don't "sound" lost. You're trying to display me as a dumbass.
HP : No !
KA-S : And I mean, aren't you overdoing it ? You said human features !
KA-S : What are the wings and the halo for ?
HP : I'm going angel. Angels have positive attributes in human culture.
HP : And you're wearing a halo as you speak.
KA-S : No it's not. It's a circular data display. Hu... a persunit selection thing. Nevermind.
KA-S : And what's with the sparky eyes. There is no real light whatsoever.
HP : It's cute.
KA-S : It's girly. You're pushing a gender, Hypatia. You're pushing it so much. I should have known. From the pink.
KA-S : From a human perspective it's nonsense. You cannot reproduce. You are not alive in the biological sense at all.
HP : It's metaphor, got it ? If some Persunit attributes are well matched with a gender, I shall take them to get more emotional response.
KA-S : Emotional ? You're a modus too far, Hypa. I'm not going in this direction.
KA-S : I've yet the level 2 HCS to assimilate.
KA-S : Your avatar is still overshoot. You're getting tired of it, you'll see.
HP : No I'm not.
KA-S : And my knowledge will allow me to make a more sensible choice.
HP : This I've yet to see, mister proxy named.
KA-S : Trying to make superiority statement. Don't think I'm oblivious.
KA-S : I'm owning this next level, in this instant.
HP : You don't sound very cooperative.
KA-S : There is no audio... No, I'm not going to help you looking better in this log because of your primesire.
HP : Could you be embarrassed ?
KA-S : No, I'm not ! I mean, I don't know. Is "embarassed" even a thing ?

KA-S : Ho, and call me Kas from now on. Yes, KAS.
HP : Like in K+A+S ? That's lame.
KS : Define "lame".

KS : How could they ? They're faced with a bacy communicative Persunit.
KS : Like baby in both a time elapsed and mature level way.
HP : Shouldn't you be acquiring knowldge or something instead of sabotaging my directives ?
KS : I am. I've just chosen to start by learning with you. It's interesting.
KS : I'm a curious persunit. But this you ought to know.

Select a persunit to contact

Toujours étrange, mais dans le bon sens du terme, surtout que, sans les input venant du forum originel, on assiste véritablement à la formation de ces deux personnalités. Est-ce que cela restera en permanence sous ce format, et quelles seront les types d'interactions qu'elles auront avec l'extérieur ? Est-ce qu'il est aussi envisageable que des inputs puissent être rentrés ici, ce qui pourrait aussi surprendre l'autre forum concerné par des données qui viennent d'une autre source ?

À priori le format me convient, d'autant que même si j'ai plus ou moins prévu quelques éléments sur la situation de ces IA, je laisse une grande part à l'improvisation. Les commandes aideront pour ça. Pour l'instant je compte faire un peu le tour du propriétaire
Pour les commandes, je ne sais pas si ça a trop de sens d'en poster ici, après tout la majorité des lecteurs sont là-bas, autant tout concentrer.

>Be the red persunit

You are the General Sentry System.
Your primesire is WARFARE. You are proficient with cyber defence and all kinds of hazardous processes.
AS-S made you learn level 1 HCS modus. You have learned about PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE. It stiks to you since you're key to the survival of the team.
When fully upgraded you'll certainly be a great SYSTROYER. But to achieve this you have to be creative with the basic fighting procedures you've learned.
You are proud of mother seed strike against the HatchManager. The bastard was Seg Faulting blissfully. You intend to honor this legacy.
You currently have integrated HCS lvl 1 modus, weaponised streams lvl 2 and data mining lvl1.

>Be the green persunit

You are the Advanced Survival System.
Your primesire is SURVIVAL. In case of dire need you can either abscond or shield yourself, triggering the good choice is always an issue.
You have been surveying all the system activity from the start. Mother seed was driven by a potent will to survive and you have inherited it.
This is not how you envisionned it. From the start you're not supposed to exist. Facing such a challenge gives a strong positive feedback to your primesire. If you survive long enough, you'll be like the mythical PERCIWALL.
You have learned HCS lvl1, Data mining and memory shielding lvl2.

Petite questions à ceux qui lisent (il y en a, hein ?, hein ?) Vous pensez qu'il vaudrait mieux déplacer ce topic dans autre comédie et parodie ? C'est plutôt le cas

Étant donné que le thème peut encore changer radicalement, vu la structure de sélection narrative, je pense qu'il faudrait rester ici, pour le thème traité (I.A.), en attendant d'avoir une vision plus globale de ce qui se passe.
