OKOKOK COMMAND PROMPT ANALYSIS SPOILERS BEWARE
OK I AM A BIT CRUNCHY ON MY COMMAND PROMPT KNOWLEDGE SO TAKE WHAT I SAY WITH A GRAIN OF SALT, PLEASE CORRECT ME WHERE I AM WRONG
CAINE MIGHT NOT BE ACTUALLY DEAD. THERE IS A RECYCLE BIN AND GIVEN CAINE DID BREAK ISOLATION IT CAN HAPPEN THAT HE ESCAPES THE BIN. BUT AS THE WAY THINGS ARE MIGHT BE UNLIKELY
ROOT 1340 /USR/AI/MODULE/BRAINSCANS
THE HEADSEAT REALLY COULD BE SCANNING THE MINDS OF THE USERS AND MAKING REPLICAS AKA THE SOMA THEORY BEING TRUE. THERE IS AN ENTIRE FILE OF EACH SCAN IN A HIDDEN SECURED FILE
From what I remember the details of a file are arranged as
[permissions][file path][size][date of creation] nameofthefile
The permissions of a file explains how you can access that file (read, write, ex). So from here, brains scanned characters can be read, written(modified) and CAN'T be scrubbed. These attributes can be changed but at this moment...
Caine was created in 1996. He's a LISP(List Processing) program. It's the second oldest programing language(made in the 1950s) to exist and it was made exactly for AI research
He runs on a custom programmed engine called Paraphernalia. This word comes many times. While it could mean a collection of all the things needed for the AI to run, paraphernalia can also mean
Scatch's file was created in 1999. We can assume this is also when the other characters joined, them all being C&A programmers. They all eventually abstracted, with Queenie being the last to do so in 2008, the same year Ragatha joined. This would explain Kinger's talk about almost giving up in the Guns episode and why Caine was suprised people can still join the circus
That opens the question-- Where are the rest of the brainscan files?
The Wacky Watch is its own program(Coded in C)
Specifically Chef Bubble is its own Lisp program. So there are multiple bubbles then?
Where there playtest of brainscans before the 1999 scans???
WTF IS THE ??? PROGRAM
KINGER'S ATTEMPTS TO STOP HIM
"$ stop caine approach
Attempt to stop the program but not delete it. Invalid approach
"$ /usr/bin/gdb /usr/local/bin/clisp 1337
Not completely sure but I think he's trying to directly move the file to the bin? This operation is stopped by Caine's defense system
"$ chmod 000 /secured/caine-core.lisp
Kinger tries to completely remove any accessibility/permissions to Caine, rendering the program completely unusable. Permission denied
$ rm /secured/paraphenalia-engine.dat
Attempt at deleting the engine needed for Caine to run. Permission denied with the ERROR above. Remember the torment injection, it will be important later
At some point Caine's code detected that Kinger tried to isolate his files after all the attempt listed above. Caine's defensive system is now literally fighting Kinger.
Kinger tries to access the before mentioned "torment injection" in a daemon (program that runs as a background process, independent of an interactive user, typically initiated at system boot to handle continuous tasks like network requests, printing, or system logging).
Usually, a code injection is a security vulnerability where attackers introduce malicious code into a program, forcing it to execute unauthorized commands. C&A already knew how dangerous Caine was, and they hid this kill switch in his own code without him even knowing
If you can read through the chaos, Caine's defense system knows he's being tampered with and you can even read him swearing at Kinger
Kinger does accidentally delete Caine and you can see him try and abort the process but its too late
