Ryauos'te (Living Spirit)

The Ryauos'te (Living Spirit) is a technology that the Poku Saeruo Degonjo developed after the Norka (The Exodus).

About the Rya Uos'te

One of the great laments after the Norka was the loss of so many great minds, and most of their life works.

To guard against this, they began the Rya project. The intent was to create a functioning duplicate of a living mind. Using a modified Jodau Sumanâjo (Synthetic Brain) members of the clan could voluntarily have their memories/consciousness uploaded. The modification to the Sumanâjo Jodau includes removing the safe-guards.

The Ryauos'te are aware that they are not living, but copies of a person. The majority of them are kept in a Rya Tabak (Spirit Preserve). If a person visits one in the Rya Tabak an image either on a screen or hologram will appear. Appearance is typically the same as the donor at the time it was created. Ryauos'te can be accessed by network, provided the individual is authorized to do so, or the Ryauos'te chooses to accept the contact. The contact is like speaking to a person.

Ryauos'te are routinely used by their owner/donor as a memory aid or collaborative sounding board. The owner can have a Ryagabo (Spiritbox) installed in their home or place of work. This gives the Ryauos'te an avatar and the means to see the person addressing it.

Ryauos'te can interact with other Ryauos'te in the archive directly, or in virtual reality.

In rare cases the Ryauos'te is kept in the family home, but this usually only happens when the donor is still alive. More commonly the family may opt to have a Ryagabo installed.

Expenses

The creation of a Ryauos'te is a fairly costly endeavor. The cost to create a Rysauos'te is 50,000 gold Odawina (OW). A maintenance fee of 50 gold Odawina (OW) per month.

In cases of notable persons, their Jaeli (Sects) or Rouka may opt to cover the expense for them.

The fees cover operating expenses, maintenance, and upgrading of hardware.

The installation of a Ryagabo in a home or office costs 500 gold Odawina (OW).

The Ryauos'te remain the proprietary property of the donor until their death, then their status is controlled by the stipulations of the donor's will. A donor must stipulate if they wish the Ryauos'te is to be terminated, indentured, released. After the Jodaujo Lua (Month of Remembrance) termination will take place. During this time the Ruoka and Punla may petition to stay the termination. Ryauos'te who have outlived their donor sometimes are hired for their skill sets. The majority of any income goes to the Donor's Punla (Family), and a portion is made available to the Ryauos'te for its disposition

Life Cycle

Ryauos'te can theoretically survive indefinitely. However, the donor while alive can have it deleted at anytime. After that as long as the Ryauos'te is paid it will be maintained. A Ryauos'te can petition for termination, however this seldom happens, and if so usually only the older ones who have lived too long.

Rya Tabak

Ryauos'te are created/updated at a Rya Tabak (Spirit Preserve). Otâmovi Wiy Jael (Silver Moon Sect) has a Rya Tabak on the Poku Movi Vamâqi (Clan Void Berth). The other Jaeli (Sects) use Rya Tabak in the Sotâka Ruomâqi (World Station) in each of the city states.

The process for creating a Ryauos'te takes two hours. A donor can update their spirit either by doing a complete overwrite, which removes any experienced memories. Or the donor can have memories from after the last update added to the memory, however this does begin to introduce a bit of a difference between the donor and the memory. Which is why most donors prefer to create once, and leave the copy alone.
