Project YGGDRASIL

==Goal==
The end goal of Project: YGGDRASIL was the development of an pseudo-Artificial Intelligence that would act as a scientific tool to help develop ideas and solutions to current ongoing projects. This would allow small teams, or even individuals work on their own research while having the entire knowledge, expertise and opinions of each other engineer at their beck and call. Eventually, Project: YGGDRASIL was designed to begin developing its own projects, all within The Engineer’s guidelines, without needing to be monitored. It would be the will of The Engineer’s made manifest.
== History ==
Initial development on Project: YGGDRASIL began during the late reign of The Engineers, a few months before the Dokuritsu Insurrection took place. Both proposed and spearheaded by the newcomer Illyan Arcturus Castell and his team of fellow engineers, Project: YGGDRASIL’s progress was progressing swiftly. However, with the Dokuritsu Insurrection ousting The Engineers, many research materials, data and prototypes were lost. Luckily the mental matrices, the core of Project: YGGDRASIL were able to be evacuated in time.
With the rise of ARHK, Project: YGGDRASIL’s development continued and was finally finished by the time ARHK announced its presence to the world.
==Overview==
Standing for Your Great God Descends, Realizing All Scientific Ideals and iLlusions, Project: YGGDRASIL, or simply YGGDRASIL, is a pseudo-Artificial Intelligence based off the hundreds of mental matrixes taken from fellow engineers. When presented with a query, it, in layman terms, simulates a forum involving all personas that it has access too, and over the course of 744 virtual hours, it provides a decision, idea or answer that would be agreeable with at least 91.3% of all mental matrices.
Each mental matrix is a combination of a finely detailed virtual mapping of the subject’s brain and an entire library of information detailing the subject, from personality to projects worked on to habits. This allows YGGDRASIL to accurately simulate how the subject would react to any all all queries. The original five mental matrices inserted into YGGDRASIL were from Arcturus and his fellow team members, but that number eventually slowly grew to encompass all engineers that Arcturus, in his arrogance and sleep deprived stated, deemed had something to contribute. Unfortunately, this does mean YGGDRASIL has a critical lack of information regarding biological research and science as Arcturus was on particularly poor terms with Jeremy, a head researcher in that field.
As a pseudo-Artificial Intelligence YGGDRASIL is not fully sentient, as opposed to some suit AIs. However, being a collection of the mental prowess of The Engineers, YGGDRASIL is an indispensable tool, and present on all engineering teams. However, like all tools, eventually YGGDRASIL would encounter errors, mainly in the form of mental degradation of its many mental matrices, resulting in symptoms such as irrational decisions and solutions with no basis in reality. To curb this issue, YGGDRASIL is programmed to routinely run checks on itself and purge those matrices which it deems detrimental to its overall performance.
While not required, new members of ARHK are strongly encouraged to submit their own mental matrices to Project: YGGDRASIL to add their own input into the vast mechanical hive. Although lives are but short and fleeting, each member of ARHK’s scientific legacy lives on through YGGDRASIL.
