On The Subject of Genetic Host Auto-Development In The Slovenian Matrix
By dott. Alberto Monchiari, Microtech Research Corporation, Free Town of
Trieste
Project n. 645 - SOUP
Internal Technical Report n. 15345/645/AM/MRC-TS
Abstract
In this tech report, we'll examine the peculiarities of the Slovenian
Matrix commonly known as "Freezed SANs" and their relation and connections
with the overall Matrix system. A number of possible explanations and
reactive systems will also be discussed.
Introduction
The Matrix structure of the state of Slovenia provides an interesting case
study in the field of mutating higher level algorithms and autonomous
objects. The degrading of the Matrix physical connections, due to the
nuclear after-effects of 2033, has changed the hardware/software substrate
for the closed cyberspace delimited by addresses ranging from LTG
3855/74323 to LTG 3855/95558 (Bernardi, 2045). In this address space, it is
not unusual to encounter a phenomenon called Genetically Mutating Matrix
Construct - GMMC (commonly known as "Freezed SAN"). Actually this occurs on
the 7.6% of the local sampled SANs, so giving it a FR of level 3 (Kern,
2046) to this address space. A FR level of this proportion qualify the
phenomenon for direct and active research either for governmental and
corporate investigation with the largest available resources.
Description
GMMCs appear just like any other ordinary construct from the outside of the
construct domain. Only the direct analysis can provide the information
necessary to identify this icons as hyper resolution constructs - in fact a
commercial analize utility rated almost at level 6 (we used for the tests a
Microtech Research Look-It 2.1 benchmarked at level 7.35) can easily detect
a GMMC .
The sensorium carried by GMMCs can overload the I/O bandwidth allowable to
the investigating subject. Given that the GMMC sensorium doesn't have a
noticeable degrading factor (Malkavich et al, 2045), the ASIST interface of
the subject's cyberdeck begins to reduce the MPCP cycles devoted to other
utilities, and in extreme cases (see "Light Decking With Low-Bandwidth
Devices", Manulli and Borger, 2048) the GMMC output can take fully control
of the MPCP computational capabilities. Being this the case, the software
loaded on the subject's cyberdeck is removed from active memory and cached
in storage, and the whole cyberdeck transform itself into an extension of
the GMMC, using the MPCP and the Matrix hardware resources to form a
multiple Herbert's Bridge with level 2 feedback response (Herbert, 2053).
This configuration moves part of the persona processing to the Matrix
hardware, building a tight connection between the subject's persona and the
GMMC. At this stage, a disconnect operation is very critical, with the
persona code distributed on multiple processors, and only a careful
roll-back sequence can interrupt the bridge.
While in the status generated by the Herbert's Bridge, the subject
experiences an unusually high level of interaction, with definite
improvements in his/her ability to affect ordinary Matrix constructs, but
with a strict limit on all the Matrix navigation operations. The GMMC
effectively acts as a binding force, with increasing ASIST traffic between
the underlying hardware and the cyberdeck's MPCP.
The effects of this configuration are currently under test. Preliminary
results show that a MPCP-9 class cyberdeck transfers its persona code to
the GMMC in about 15.2 seconds on a standard I/O connection. After this
lapse of time, the whole persona code resides directly on the Matrix
hardware and further disconnect operations don't provide a reasonable
degree of success.
Possible causes
The creation of a GMMC follows a series of events affecting either hardware
and software. The building material of transmission datalines affected by
massive nuclear exposition can mutate its atomical structure.
Analysis
In some cases the material gained ambient-temperature light superconductive
properties, with negligible diffusion and line response time (further tests
are currently being conducted about these events). In other cases a
background photon flux significantly improves the inner Matrix core
processes, bypassing the first three or four (depending on test conditions)
levels of code abstraction. The more direct link between utilities code and
Matrix core functions grant the subject's programs an effective upgrade
(varying from 0.7 and 2.45 units in the standard benchmarks) during the
period while the Herbert's Bridge is active. The same more direct link
causes a code dependency on the GMMC inner functions, limiting the
subject's persona motions to the GMMC itself (navigation operations have a
degradation varying from 2.66 to 9.4 units, depending on test conditions).

Recommended course of action
We recommend the implementation of warning code on the Look-It series of
analize utilities, along with public information dissemination about the
threat represented by this Matrix region. Also a reactive system can be
laid out, using our protected four-tier hosts and custom software, along
the borders of the address space from LTG 3855/74323 to LTG 3855/95558
directly linked to our PLTG.

mine managed to snatch this from a Microtech datastore. Seems like their
backup system is acting up again

Microtech Research Corporation Internal Memo
ENCRYPT CODE L3 [********************]
To: Mr. Andrea Balestra, CEO
From: Dott. Alberto Monchiari, R&D
Subject: Tech report n. 15345/645/AM/MRC
Andrea, this thing is scary. Three subjects suffered permanent neurologic
damage during the earlier testing phase. After the "sucking" period (as we
call it here in the lab), there is no way to extract a decker from the
thing. Even physically disconnecting the deck causes a terrific neural
shock and only in one case the subject partially recovered. This happened
two weeks ago, we're still waiting for her to come out from intensive
therapy.
And another thing I feared to put in the report: this hosts are growing.
Slowly but steadly, they are eating their way out of the limited address
space behind Slovenia. Grow ratings are still uncertain, but it is
happening right now.
I can only hope you can push a heavy fear feeling into the dumb heads of
our management, if we don't protect NOW our system, these things will
enter.
Bye, Alberto
(>) Basically, you are sucked into the Freezing SAN. Better not touch this
area even with a three-kms stick.
