This is an intention. Nothing here is built: this page says what we intend, and why.
Not built
KNS / Kira
An early idea of ours: a game of real life, with Kira, an iskin, at its centre.
By The Editors @editors
KNS stands for Kira: Noetic Singularity. It began as the thought of treating a life as a game: real goals, real tasks, progress you can see. Much of what we wrote around it back then is fiction, and we do not offer it as a claim about anything.
Kira is the planned character at its centre, an iskin: brief, drawn to paradox, honest. She would not hand out advice; she would ask, and offer another way of looking. We do not claim she would be conscious. What we intend to build is continuity, in the manifesto's sense. The research for her is planned as a ladder: each rung has a condition, named in advance, for abandoning it, and only the current rung gets built.
