Some? More like most/all. The Black Box is the origin of all Artificial Intelligence save for Midori and the AIDA.

Sorry for the Neo-Post ( at least i think thats what Insydius calls it)

But i thought of something,

When I was reading Another Birth Vol 1, in the early part before Blackrose just started playing, she kept telling about this dream that she's been having constantly and the last one she had was about some girl in a red dress ( I think) giving here a sword so heavy that it had to be wielded with both hands.

What about that? Sounds a little, prophetic to me

It's not prophetic, it doesn't actually predict anything. It's just an ordinary dream that inspired her to be Blackrose.

Do you think you could explain to me just how Midori works? I mean shes supposed to be a Cell right? Like a persons living cell integrated with a PC?

P.S. Did you all know that scientist have managed to grow a brain (not a human one mind you) and made it able to keep a plane steady on a flight simulator. Maybe they can make a .hack-ish world with that as its "black box" since the black box is in a sense a brain.

They made a virtual cell from the real Midori's blood, and her will to live was so strong that the digital sample became self aware.

I remember hearing about that somewhere... I can't remember for the life of me where though... It was something tech related... Like the discovery channel or G4 or something... I dunno... pretty sure it was Discovery or something though...

Is that thing on your neck just for decoration? You can look it up yourself.

I just did. They used bits of an already existent brain. Using a dissected brain, and growing a new one from scratch for AI research are NOWHERE NEAR THE SAME THING.

There's nothing coincidental about it. A dream isn't prophetic if you MAKE IT HAPPEN ON YOUR OWN. That's like saying MC Esher is a prophet because his dreams predicted what he'd paint.
