InfomorphsInfolifeInfomorphs are digital only forms; they lack a physical body and exist only as hard data that is processed on highly complex computer. While disembodied, infolife may still interact with physical life through XP or, more commonly through AR, especially where augmented reality is used to overlay the physical world and the digital world. They are also capable of jamming devices.
The first infolife emerged in the late Interplanetary Period, although weak NAIs had existed long before them. Infolife is generally divided into several different categories: AGIs (artificial general intelligences) which are programs that are as intelligent as a human with full self awareness and creativity, as well as many of the same biological drives as humans; LAIs (limited-sapience artificial intelligences), which are like AGIs except they lack volition, or self-drive, and will only do what they are told to do - they are also extremely uncreative, although they do possess the capability to learn and integrate knowledge; NAIs (non-sapient artificial intelligences), which are exceedingly complicated pieces of software that are often designed for a specific purpose and lack the ability to learn, adapt, and change, as well as lacking self-awareness; and digitals, also called mind emulations, which are the digital mind emulations of a biological agent - sometimes the only thing left of a biological agent if that biological agent died. The last two categories are Seed AI and ASI, or artificial super intelligence. Seed AIs are emergent AIs, which are AGIs or LAIs that were not intended to achieve sapience but do anyway, and ASI are artificial super intelligent computers. The God AIs were an example of an ASI; they were deliberately designed to be ASIs, while Seed AIs often arise as an accident and have the capacity to become an ASI through bootstrapping and recursive self-improvement.
