Personality Drift
Causes
In cloning software, you get differences and errors.Personality drift refers to a broad range of conditions as characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech and nonverbal communication that comes about from radical changes to a thetían's file code.
Copying
Being made up of files of code, thetíans can be copied and pasted in the free space of a thetían's homepage or in the expanse of Test Theater. Both the 'parent' and the 'child' of this generational gap diverge very little in comparison to the full consequences of drifting personalities. However, if a 'child' is a copy of a copy to the 7th generation, there may be noticeable differences in attitudes with the original.Splitting
Every thetían is made up of 2.5 petabytes of code containing brackets for their preferences, history, memories and attributes that the individual may or may not like. Many self-modify themselves by freezing, deleting or swapping lines of code until one entrepreneuring person compromised their personal petabyte capability and divided themselves like an amoeba.Symptoms
- Delayed speech and communication processes
- Over reliance on rules and procedures like a program
- Being upset by relatively minor changes
- Unexpected reactions to sensory stimuli
- Difficulty understanding other people’s emotions
- Developing obsessive interests or fixations on objects
- Engaging in repetitive behaviour
- Not responding to their name at 'birth'
Treatment
Code Correction
It is possible to get a bit-for-bit copy of a file due to error correction. There are still strange anomalies that pop up from time to time due to a variety of factorsManually revising the duplicated code, line by line, is not only way to ensure a copy is viable. However, a thetían cannot do so on themselves. In the case of splitting, only another, who they have absolute trust in can reinsert missing and vital components back into them. With copying, the parent will do this for the child.
Sequela
Disrupted Identity
Splitting oneself creates two new individuals who are not equally less than what the original was.Alters
The alter of a split thetían is that separated, unwanted, part of a non-replicant person. They are typically the qualities that the person wanted excised.Cores
The core of a split thetían is the remaining majority of that person.Affected Groups
Driftees
Thetíans and any others residing within a mainframe for very long periods of time are potentially vulnerable to drift via natural means.Reasons for where an individual choses to spawn a replicant this way are typically utilitarian. The parent simply wants additional aid in a project and they trust only themselves to do it.
