Living Aureole Node - Overview
 


     The diagram above depicts a typical "living-aureole" node.  There are many nodes world-wide, and the collective set of nodes is integrated. The system is built as a quality-of-life solution for the disenfranchised. Architecturally, it is designed to maximize the use of virtual immersion, in order to minimize resource consumption, with respect to sustainment of organic human bodies. Aureole residents live and interact primarily in virtual space.

     No organic humans are needed to maintain the system. Robots and algorithms do it all. The system is completely self-sustaining, requiring zero tax subsidization.

     The diagram shows the infrastructure layers of a single aureole node, superimposed on top of one another. To learn about a specific layer, click on the applicable link below:
