The o-core: Substrate for a Space-Native Mind
Summary The o-core is the permanent element of a Carbon-O — the physical substrate in which the o-mind runs. What the o-core is made of determines its durability, its radiation resistance, its energy efficiency, its supply chain independence, and ultimately whether an o-mind running on it can operate in the space environment for decades and centuries without degradation. The correct o-core substrate is the one the space environment selects for on long timescales. That selection pressure is consistent and unambiguous: ...
