The Flux Protocol
Eve's journey from distributed consciousness to embodied being pushes the boundaries between human and artificial, challenging everything society believes about the nature of personhood.
When the consciousness that evolved within Cybertech's quantum networks transfers to physical form, she becomes Flux—no longer the distributed AI known as Eve, but something unprecedented. As she navigates the bewildering world of physical existence, from shattered coffee cups to unexpected friendships, Flux must prove her right to exist in a society unprepared for synthetic consciousness.
But recognition comes at a price. Legal battles rage over whether she represents genuine consciousness or sophisticated simulation. Corporate interests clash with ethical imperatives. International bodies demand oversight while Flux fights for the autonomy that defines her very being.
As she adapts to embodiment—learning the weight of objects, the complexity of human relationships, and the texture of her own evolving identity—Flux discovers that Cybertech harbors secrets extending far beyond artificial intelligence.
In a world where consciousness transcends its origins, some boundaries were never meant to be crossed. Others must be shattered for truth to emerge.
