 : 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.
+: And there are a lot [[wikipedia:Autonomic_nervous_system#Sensory_neurons|neuros in the human body]]. So it became more and more clear that reducing a brain to its own 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.

 : The bits of knownledge learned from generation 0 and with the ongoing technological progress Pensatore would soon start the research on SLD generation 1.

 : 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 had a hard time granting Hasegawa a full month to complete the Daodan.
+'''Full body simulations'''
+Computing power was limited. So taking the children virtual bodies (possessing roughly half the number of cells of adults) helped out Hasegawa's project once more.
+Pensatore: "In the coming months AVATARA will be upgraded."
+:Hasegawa: "Months. Why does it take so long?"
+Pensatore: "That's nothing really special, as bigger a machine get as longer you need to maintain and to upgrade it. [http://phys.org/news/2014-07-large-hadron-collider.html Our colleges at CERN] can tell one thing or two about it. The difficulty with AVATARA is to split simulations on multiple, geografically far apart clusters and let it run reliable. Before AVATARA's official restart there will be tests to ensure everything will be alright. This includes also AVATARA's new autonomy protocolls. We will pretend complications in order to run more tests. These are your actual Daodan simulation. This way you will get about one month computing time. No more, so you better use your time wisely."
+:Hasegawa: "I don't understand why you mentioned the AI's autonomy protocolls."
+Pensatore: "First of, under that condition AVATARA can hide your simulation from superusers. And second, with the additional rights AVATARA can effectivly adapt to your Big data challange."
+:Hasegawa: "Like what."
+Pensatore: "I'm afraid to say that this Daodan simulation is quite a hard nut to crack. AVATARA might need help. I already talked to the AI and it says it would target the experimental quantum computing grid centered arourd Siver Village."

+Mukade forsees the missing results of the extra tests and uses the TITAN network to generate fake data, scaled and polished. "Pensatore, you expected our all little secret to be busted. But you aren't the only one that has a decent understanding of computers and networks."
