Pensatore is an SLD scientists but also maintains AVATARA. He is consulted by Mukade to judge if the Chrysalis is really worth so much effort.
Pensatore (meaning "the thinker") is an SLD scientists and leading the AVATARA project. He is consulted by Mukade to judge if the Chrysalis is really worth its cost.
 
: Background:
 
: The European [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Brain_Project Blue Brain Project] as well as the American [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BRAIN_Initiative BRAIN Initiative] failed.
 
: The Blue Brain Project ignored glia cells and similar supporting elements. The BRAIN Initiative [http://www.nature.com/news/neuroscience-map-the-other-brain-1.13654 did better] but still had no real neuronal input and no information from cells that messure concentration of oxygen, sugar, etc.
 
: Also there are a lot [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gut%E2%80%93brain_axis neuros in the guts] that connect to brain in one way or another.
 
: It became more and more clear that reducing a brain to its neurons was far from enough.
 
: After they had a full body simulation up and running the next step was to educatate the AI and let it control a body in the physical world.
 
: At this point the networking supercomputer had clusters all over the world and was named AVATARA. (This full body simulation depicting AI was remote controlling a robot, its avatar.)
 
: The collected data from this "[[Restless_Souls/Technology#Speculation_about_brain_components|SLD generation 0]]" was't enough to design an AI from scratch because most of the data still needed years to become fully analysed.
 
: The bits of knownledge learned from generation 0 and with the ongoing technological progress Pensatore would soon start the research on SLD generation 1.
 
: Meanwhile planet Earth faced its first AI which ironic task was to understand itself. In doing so it tried to read all available knownledge about the subjects the scientist worked it.
 
: The AI got significant smarter and drew interest from more researchers to solve complex problems and calculations.
 
: Pensatore was still in charge of AVATARA and granted Hasegawa a full week to complete the Daodan.

Why is this something bad? The Daodan gives humans an incredible huge advantage against all other lifeforms.

If the Daodan mechanisms are shared with the rest of nature, hyperevolution will take place everywhere making it harder to adapt to bacteria and viruses again.

While viruses might learn some new tricks they should remain less potent than a multi-cellular Daodan.
 
So the actual thread would be bacterial colonies.
