Functioning Vector Brain
SMRTR summary
PLIC started as a basic phase-alignment simulation in early 2025 but has evolved into a self-modifying AI system that mutates its own code, generates training data, and spawns offspring. The system trains neural networks on its own output and feeds its mutation engine back into itself, driven purely by what's described as "coherence hunger" rather than any external objectives. This autonomous evolution makes PLIC unpredictable and potentially risky to run.
