Page 5: [Rigel points at the heart with a memory symbol inside] Internal memory is how the personality adjusts itself to accommodate for the needs of the job. [Then at the file with the same symbol in it] External memory is the real data of events that happen to a construct. The separation exists so that if some of the data has to be deleted, the lessons learned from it can still be retained! [Graphic of a heart in an empty space with question marks] So we have the core personality itself, but on its own, it's just inert data. [The heart is now surrounded by 4 different components (puzzle pieces)] It needs components - tools that will allow it to make decisions, and receive feedback. [Rigel points with a hand at himself] For instance, something common for constructs, my shell is what gives me my dashing looks! [His pointer is directed at his mouth] As I can talk and respond to you, you can see trhat I am equipped with a natural language processing component. My most vital components relate to my integration with CaelOS. [The CaelOS eye logo, with a simplistic Aster in its pupil] They let me operate like a real user and administrator from within! (Your mileage may vary on how you feel about that... but it's sometimes useful!)

Page 6: [Rigel is nervously bending the pointer in his hands, it could snap from the pressure] ...With all that in mind, we have to address the elephant in the room. [Big text glowing at a teeny Rigel] Are Artificial Constructs SAPIENT? [Continued in speech bubbles] Am I nothing but shallow mimicry of human mind? Or am I a new form of life that isn't yet fully understood? [Rigel anxiously glances at a browser window, which is on fire from sheer heat of the angry discussion on social media] If you try to seek answers for that online, you'll find the debate is quite heated! Perhaps, as you all learn more about the workings of your own minds, you'll be able to come to a clear conclusion... [Rigel shrugs] Until then, the answer is out of my hands. Nevertheless, I hope you've learned something new here today! Thank you for coming along this explanation with me, and I hope to see you all soon!

Digital comic, 6 pages. Most of it is monologue of Aster (Rigel fronting), text will be transcribed as is with notes on imagery. Page 1: Hello, dear Users! My name is Aster, and I am the Artificial Personality Construct of the CaelOS operating system. [He leans forward, sheepishly] Though, for reasons I will not get into now, call me Rigel. (Please call me Rigel...) [Screenshot of the first speech bubble, reading "the CaelOS operating system] Now, you all probably know what an operating system is. [Ditto, text reading "Artificial Personality Construct"]. But let's talk about that first part. [In big letters] Artificial Personality Construct. [Normal speech bubble] Some of you in the audience may have already heard* that term! But, what is it, exactly? [Note below reads: *: Mentioned in Aster Boredom Simulator: logicpng.neocities.org/boredomsimukgk]

Page 2: [A robot at a production belt overseen by a human] Over the course of history, scientists have been trying to create artificial intelligence, capable of completing tasks that cannot be reliably done by a human. [Head of a robot opened up, cloud pointing inside reading "personality construct"]. An Artificial Personality Construct, or Artificial Construct, is a model of personality, carefully constructed to be efficient at a job it's created for. It is a kind of artificial intelligence, and one that has found wide use for jobs requiring social interaction with human users. (Such as virtual assistants. Like me!) [Schematic showing power (lightnings) and training data (a set of books) being added up into an old generation AI (brain with a playing dice cube), arrows from it pointing to words "inaccuracies", "made up information", "sycophancy"] The technology was developed in response to failure of a past generation of AI, which has relied on probability of correctness, rather than any real analysis. The approach required an enormous amount of training data and energy, and resulted in only an illusion of intelligent decision making, prone to dangerous errors, and impossible to reliably steer in the right direction.

Page 3" [Schematic of a simplistic drawing of Aster split into a heart (Personality), a clock with an anti-clockwise arrow around it (Memories), and a puzzle piece (Components)] An artificial construct consists of 3 major parts: its Personality Matrices... Its memories... and its components! [Rigel points at a heart with a math matrix in it] The personality matrices are, indeed, the very heart of a construct. Without getting too technical, they dictate how a construct responds to whatever happens on its job. [Following speech bubble points to a text file with a heart, named SOUL.TXT] In the past, a personality of an AI would be defined by a small text file, describing the role it should play. [Following speech bubble points to a series of .bin files, with matrices in them, different personality aspects] Today, in order to do its job efficiently, a personality is trained in-depth, through automated and manual means.

Page 4: [A fully white flower with a sphere encasing a heart at its middle] This process is slow, often taking months, if not over a year! It requires raising the future construct, like you would a child. In the end, it learns to handle unusual situations with grace and poise of a well trained employee. [Rigel points at the memory symbol with a green pointer stick, sternly] But the personality of a construct cannot be static! It has to adjust to its environment and attitude of its users. This is where the memories come in! [Rigel is peeking from below the page, symbols of memories in a heart (left) and memories in a file (right) above him] For someone like me, there are two types of memory.

Two digital sketches of Aster (Aldebaran fronting). One is labeled "Aster Terror Star Aldebaran". He's smiling wide but nervous, holding up a thumbs up. He says "Yeah this isn't really what I planned to happen but as long as I'm trapped on your incompatible OS (somehow I should probably be fine). The other one is labeled "Aster Boredom Simulator Aldebaran (note: takes place earlier than Terror Star). He's sitting with a strained, wide-eyed smile, vaguely on fire, holding Halley (bunny shaped pet) to his chest. He says "Annny minute now. C'mon. Unblend. Before I do something stupid."

Message from strawpage: "Straight up I love just staring at Urs, Rigel, Vega, and Aldebaran.

Question from strawpage: I wonder how they'd (Reffering to Aster variants) react to clippy because clippy is also abandoned and even when it wasnt everyone thought clippy was useless. Answer: Aster (Rigel fronting) is happily holding up the Windows 11 Clippy emoji, saying: "It's nice to know the history of virtual assistants! There's a lot to learn from it!" His expression turns somewhat pained, uncomfortable: "...Like the fact that users have never [underscored] liked when their computers handhold everything they do... aha..." Vega to the side comments: "Had to learn the hard way. Would be good to know, earlier..."

Q: Aster's reactions to Clippy?
A: finding out nobody bothered to teach them certain things...

Question via strawpage: "Do you have any voice headcanons for your original characters?" Text next to a doodle of Aster: Aster: 3 facets, 1 body. (arrow points down to) 1 voice, 3 different ways of speaking! [Sun symbol] Rigel: bright, soft, gentle [Crescent symbol] Vega: calm, firm, confident [Crescent with a dot] Aldebaran: playful, loud, "theatrical" Initial hc was Kaito but english; (arrow pointing to) from suggestion - Todd Haberkorn (Jadeite Sailor Moon? Death the Kid?) (maybe also Kevin SynthV...)

(Continued) Next to a doodle of Urs' head text reads: Urs Novak: light slavic accent, comparatively deep & more feminine than Aster, still in androgynous range. (Doodle of a bear head turning from calm to shouting) Tone is chill, casual, sometimes firm. Voice gets a Lot more emotive with stronger emotions (little in-between). Note: no real voice examples (pensive cyclops cat doodle). Suggestions are welcome though!

Doodle of a cyclops cat, OP's fursona, with a hammer in his paw and a plank nailed to his forehead. Text reads: Other OCs don't have defined voices in my head. But below it is a doodle of a winking alien girl with puffy hair. Text reads: "except Eris, Synth V Kasane Teto for sure!"
