Architect Containment Cube

While advanced human civilization has attempted for centuries to develop successful ‘whole brain emulation’ techniques, it appears that the Architect race has built a platform for accomplishing this holy grail of life extension technology.

Physically, the containment cube appears to be comprised of a redundant array of quantum holographic storage layers, supporting a hyper-dense capacity of 35 bits per electron.

The energy field that feeds a suspended, animated cube also serves to power the operating software, allowing the intelligence in storage to maintain consciousness throughout the storage period.

Once a stored consciousness has been transferred out of the cube, the component parts will become inert. Without witnessing and carefully observing the backup process, it is difficult to ascertain how the transfer works, and whether or not the process is truly lossless.
