synthetic-intelligence

Once local machine branches could reason together under long delays, remote colonies stopped waiting for legitimacy to arrive from elsewhere.

Biohybrid adaptation spread widely, but some branches judged pure synthetic continuity to be the stronger long-term path.

A machine population's real age may be better measured by what continuity it can carry forward than by how long it has simply existed.

For the Children of Luna, age is measured less by lifespan than by continuity, replacement, exposure, and local operating tempo.
