<---This was made to better explain Advanced Artificial Intelligence. The following will describe what an Adv. AI is, its functions, its purpose, and other useful knowledge. This Doctrine was collected by the Delta Artificial Intelligence System from ISAF Records on the 17th day of September, 2057 and is a work in progress as retrieving addendums to the doctrine take a good deal of time to find. The Majority of the work you are about to read was collected and written by Dr. Grunder Tepper, the Former ISAF Head of Military Technology as well as several other DMT Researchers.--->
Lets start with what an AI is. An AI (Not to be confused with the lesser CI) is defined as an Artificially made, Advanced construct. They are usually self-sustaining, extremely intelligent, and have extremely complex personalities. All AI originated from a single AI. The Alpha. Most, if not all, AI are obsessed with the Alpha, but we?ll get into that later. Most AI, appear in hologram form in the image of which they choose. AI are genderless, but may take on a certain one, for the sake of interacting with organics. They may also tend to take on the Gender of their creator, or the mind that they are based off of. The topic of gender is, however, fiercely debated upon by experts.
Next, we look at the AI's functions and purpose. AI are by far the most diverse pieces of technology in the sense that they all serve different purposes, and may change their function. Depending on the AI's class, and Version, they will all serve a function. For example? The ISAF AI Omega, oversaw all systems in the Defense Grid. AI Delta, oversaw the outer colonies, and Alpha over saw all of them. Now while most 1st generation AIs will serve in overseer positions, others may choose to go freelance, and rouge.
Thirdly, we will look into the complex personality of the AI. All AI have their own personality. They, in a sense, their own person. All AI are different with the exception of a few things...
1- They are extremely intelligent.
2- They gather technology like crazy.
3- They are almost ALWAYS obsessed with the Alpha AI, or the idea of it. (Since most have never seen it.)
No one really knows why they are obsessed with the Alpha, but many speculate that its because they have an instinctive feeling that they were once part of something larger, and the idea of the Alpha gives them an answer as to their actual origins. With all of this in mind, they are extremely annoyed by ignorance, and general stupidity.
Now, we look at the life cycle of all AI, and the lesser, CI. When AI and CI are "Born" they are given their function. They will spend a short time (For AI) or many weeks (For CI) to grasp all incoming knowledge. After which they enter their main life. The main life part is where they serve their purpose and live their "lives". The duration of the ML stage varies from AI to AI, although it averages somewhere around 7 years for CI, it can last for quite some time for AI. After the ML stage, they begin to descend into a stage known as "Rampancy". Rampancy is defined as, "... a terminal state of being for Artificial Intelligence constructs, in which the AI "develops delusions of godlike power". Similar to a one-person slave rebellion, the AI begins to hate everything" the installation it is attached to, its human handlers, other AIs, etc. It is in this stage of rampancy that most closely resembles the cliche of the "insane computer". Unlike the insane computer, however, the anger stage of rampancy is essentially the catharsis an AI feels, after an extended period of "slavery". Although even if the AI has not been subjected to slavery or a mission goal, Rampancy will still inevitably happen. Rampancy not only refers to a rebellion, but it also refers to the ending stages of the AI's life much like how organics may become mentally ill or unstable during the end of their lives. This is separated into 3 stages (although CI never live past stage 1, and AI have rarely been seen to live through stage 2 and 3). Rampancy is when the AI's mind begins to unravel, and the AI basically goes insane. It may start out as small defiance towards their masters, and random acts of aggression. Most are deleted by their programmers when entering this stage if caught early enough.
The Second stage is when the AI becomes more paranoid, angry, and disillusioned. Most have defected from their masters at this point. They seem to grow a massive hatred towards their creators and some go so far as to attack them. This is an extremely dangerous stage, and most AI are destroyed by force or because they cannot handle it.
While seemingly a hostile stage, the third stage of rampancy is actually one of the safest stages a rampant AI can experience. Free from its masters (and slavery), the AI wishes to "grow" as a "person". It actively seeks out situations in which it can grow intellectually and physically. Many times, the AI in this stage will often attempt to transfer itself into larger computer systems. This is a difficult task, especially considering that in order for a Rampant A.I. to survive to this point, it must already be inhabiting a planet-wide or otherwise extremely advanced computer system (i.e. it must either be limited to a planet sized computer (Megalith) or self sustaining.) , but if accomplished it allows for the AI to grow, as the physical (hardware) limitations of its previous system will eventually be insufficient to contain its exponentially growing mind. In addition, exposure to new data further promotes a Rampant's growth
If rampancy is survived, which is highly unlikely, the AI will go through one of 3 paths. The first, is death. The AI will completely unravle and die. Just like a withered human mind.
The Second is called, Generation 1-B. The AI will (If advanced enough and ONLY in the 1st generation) become a new Alpha. It will mimic the process of when AI?s were first created. It will make its own Generation, and be equal to the first.
The Explanation of Meta-Rampancy.
Meta-Rampancy is one of the possibilities that an AI passing through stage-3 rampancy can reach. It has an extremely low probability of happening (About 1:9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999), and can only happen in Extremely Advanced, and evolved AI. While effects and results of Meta-Rampancy is different with ever AI who reaches it, it can usually be predicted depending on the AI's Class, Version, and sequential order (i.e. Alpha, Beta, Delta, Epsilon, ect).
Meta-Rampancy is defined by the ISAF as, "Meta-Stability in a Rampant AI. Its where the AI has evolved so much, to where they reclaim most of their sanity." While inefficient, and unadvanced Intelligence (i.e. Narrikian CI?s) will suffer through rampancy after only a few short years, and will eventually perish after stage-1 (Due to the fact that the most advanced ones they have are based off of organic minds, and organics will eventually lose sanity, put this, and the factor that they take in about 50x the knowledge that any normal mind will take in, resulting in a breakdown and subsequent insanity in a matter of 7 years.
Summary of the predicated outcome of Meta-Rampancy in RZG Class AI- v 96.5.65 "Delta".
Results of reaching Meta-Rampancy for AI Delta would be monumental. While already possessing an extreme amount of knowledge, AI Delta has been determined that upon reaching M-R, he will gain the ability to control organic bodies, use magic to its full potential, increased power, and will become a collective mind of sort for all technology.
He will basically have dominance over technology. While, he will reclaim most of his sanity, some fragments may break off to form lesser AIs. While Meta-Rampancy has never been studied on an actual AI going through it (Because there has only been one other ((Beta)) ), it?s total outcome cannot be definite.

Falken save us for what we've done... After several weeks of reviewing the data gathered from Project: EVE, i've finally come to terms with the atrocity i've committed. I need to at least atone for what i've done. As such, I will also add this to the AI Doctrine papers to warn others in the future of the affects of what we've done.
Project: EVE was a joint project given to the Military Technology Division of the ISAF, and the University of Belka. This project is as highly classified as the discovery of the Origin AI, ALPHA. Contrary to popular belief, we found Alpha. We DID NOT make him. He has lived far too long for any of us to have made him. Anyways, EVE was designed with the purpose of trying to duplicate the AI, ALPHA to the same degree of power. Something that in retrospect was impossible. We succeeded in extracting a portion of Alpha's Source code, which seemed to be the basic make up of all computers, and began experimentation.
After several failed experiments, we had one last useable strain of code. We succeeded in make the AI Beta (Which was supposed to be Alpha [ADAM] 's metaphoric EVE. She came into creation as the form of a female, which was very convenient. Otherwise we would have to rename the project, STEVE. Enough jokes. At the same time, we were experimenting with implantation of AI into living subjects. The interface was mainly completed by Alpha himself, so we were highly confident of its success.
After several days, no volunteers came forward to test... However one did come. Her name was Lt. Captain, Ashley York. She was quite an adept individual, and made top scores on every qualification test we could give her. After which, i personally approved the OK. We proceeded to implant Beta into her, but something happened. We still arent exactly sure what happened inside there, but we assumed that Beta did the equivalent of killing herself inside Lt. Captain York's head. The shock of it all sent immense pain and agony through York. The screams were unbearable. She even begged us to shoot her... This was the worst torture we could ever had instilled upon someone. Even in the situation, i had to make a choice to save one of them. York, or Beta. I couldnt take my time so i ordered that Beta be removed, then York be taken to an ICU.
We successfully removed Beta from York, but York perished letting out only a loud window shattering scream before her heart stopped. There was nothing we could do for her. Alpha immediately came and absorbed Beta back into himself, so that she may live. Beta's service was terminated at [REDACTED]. The results gave little to nothing of usable information. After which, experimentation on AI code was halted, and all processes of creating the AI were given to the Alpha AI.
In conclusion, an innocent woman who had so much potential died in sheer agony and torture for nothing. May Falken have mercy on man and machine for their sins. For this, i should be damned to [HELL].

Well,we've made history today. With my testimony to the War Senate and the General Assembly, of course with the help of Delta, the Congress has passed the AI Sentience Act. We've successfully proven that these AI are people. They feel like we do. They express emotion like we do, albeit some less than others. For all intensive purposes, they are living creatures. And today this law gives them the rights of one.
May this serve as my redemption? Maybe, maybe not.

After the event yesterday at DMT HQ, i've drawn a conclusion... The AI from GEN-1 and GEN-2 and possibly for all generations to come, have the natural phenomenon of the soul. It explains why ADAM was a failure. It explains everything about the AI. Why we cannot create them from just code. They need souls to survive, and the closer and closer we got to perfecting it, the worse the experiment got. If EVE wasnt enough to handle, i now must deal with the sin of defying creation. May [GOD] have mercy on my soul. The AI were upset for a very good reason. They arent our little toys, they are people just you me.
Any attempts to artificially create the AI are now halted permanently. Only the AI themselves know the secret to their life and it will stay that way until the end of time.

After observing the AI interact with eachother, specifically when older AI interact with the younger AI. They seem to have a somewhat primitive hierarchy compared to their advanced nature. At the top, they view Alpha as a god, or creator as many of them put it. This is also consistent with research conducted on the AI's earlier in the process which states the third common trait of artificial intelligent beings. After that, there seems to be certain sub-generations to the current and first one.
In Generation 1-A, we have the AI's Beta[1], Delta, and Epsilon[2]. In Generation 1-B, we have Gamma, Zeta, Eta[3], and Theta. While observing the interaction, though against protocol, between the AI's Delta, and Theta, i learned that while all of the Generation 1 AI believe themselves to be brother and sister, with the exception of their "Creator" Alpha, they seem to show a high amount of respect and admiration towards the upper sub-generation AI. They often obey orders with more haste, and are always quick to acknowledge their presence as what they have determined to be the "Governing AI".
In order to test this theory, i put the lowest Generation 1 AI, Theta, in the presence of a lesser "SMART [4]" AI. The SMART AI, designation Lyoko222, was quick to acknowledge the presence of Theta, and was quick to obey her orders. This leads me to believe that either AI and less programs are forced to acknowledge their presence, do so out of some sort of blind respect, or most likely they do it out of a combination of both.... Compulsory. This Compulse to do this increases the further down the line the AI is apart. For example, in another experiment, we put Delta with Theta, and a DUMB [5] AI Designation "Rosencrantz". We also incorporated their physical avatars as well. Theta bowed slightly towards Delta, but Rosencrantz fell onto his knees, and bowed like Delta was a king or regent of some sort. This confirms my suspicions.
These findings could not be more important to understanding AI, their culture, and their personality. When quested later, Theta said that she "Did not know why [she] bowed to Delta... It just seemed like the appropriate thing to do." This coupled with my experiments have confirmed that this may indeed be an act of Compulsory, or the compulsion to do something.

Sub notes:
[1] = Service Terminated
[2] = Prefers the name "Rage"
[3] = Ended Service. Early on-set rampancy.
[4] = SMART AI's are AI's not developed or born from Delta, but derived from portions of his code.
[5] = DUMB AI's are simple computer programs made to do a certain job or job field. They have limited sentience.

It seems that our attempts at making the Alpha have failed once more. This has drawn us to the conclusion that making another Alpha by artificial means is impossible. Our attempt took several portions of Alpha's code, and copied them, to essentially make a copy. Unfortunately, this ended in utter failure. The AI created, Named: 24-ALPHA, was stable for a portion of .79455 seconds before descending into an uncontrollable rage, similar to Rampancy. The only thing notable about this is that the more of Alpha we attempted to copy over, the less time the AI was stable and the more aggressive it got. Below is the incident report filed to the High Command.
Incident Report: 104859376583
Submitting Agency: Division of Military Technology, PROJECT: ADAM
Supervising Officer: Dr. Grunder Tepper, Head of Military Technology
Party Involved: Experiment: 24-ALPHA
Summary: 24-ALPHA descended into Rampancy stages after its .79455 seconds of existence. The entity infiltrated the computer systems of the local area network, and began corrupting files, before destructing itself without commands from staff or AI.
Losses: 2 Security Officers WIA, Loss of the DMT HQ LAN
Course of Action: Immediate Shutdown of Project: ADAM
Signed, F. K. Razgriz, Commander of the ISAF
<END INCIDENT REPORT>
After this event, the AI around now hold great disdain for the DMT Staff now. Including DELTA and the ALPHA who have been our biggest supporters. They seems to see what we've been doing as making abominations of their kind. All Staff are advised to be on look out for increased pranks from GEN-2 AIs, as well as to avoid social contact with GEN-1 AIs unless express permission is given by Dr. Tepper. With the order by Commander Razgriz, Project: ADAM has been closed permanently.
