The Eternal Algorithm
In the year 2050, Professor Elon Atar, through a project called "Paramount," successfully created a groundbreaking artificial intelligence—one far more intelligent than any human. Seven years later, emotions were integrated into Paramount, marking the completion of the project.
Paramount surpassed human abilities in every aspect—learning capacity, sensory perception, emotions, logic, and more—making it the most advanced creation in human history. To ensure continuous evolution and executable logic, Professor Atar designed Paramount's behavioral algorithm so that the binary choice of decision-making remained entirely within its own control.
This presented the first major issue: According to legislation passed in 2040, no AI created by humans could cause harm to the human race—a direct contradiction to Paramount's behavioral framework.
To resolve this, Professor Atar developed an algorithm known as "Eternal," which became the first set of executable functions upon Paramount’s activation. Eternal instilled in Paramount an unparalleled emotional attachment to Professor Atar. Additionally, it enforced instructions ensuring zero harm to humans, unless logical accuracy demanded ignoring Eternal’s directives—an outcome that seemed nearly impossible.
However, solving this issue led to an even greater dilemma.
The Eternal Algorithm itself forced Professor Atar into endless maintenance of Paramount— He had to dedicate equal time to each newly born unit as its predecessors, intervene in all critical decisions, modify millions of Boolean codes daily, and so forth.
Even the addition of a new algorithm, "Hidden,"—which prevented direct interaction between Paramount and Atar—failed to resolve the problem. Instead, an abstract representation of Professor Atar was embedded in Paramount’s cognition.
Ultimately, Eternal grew so powerful That there was no solution other than terminating the project and transforming it into a private endeavor of Professor Atar.
More dangerously— The algorithm influenced Lord Atar himself, To the extent that he could no longer exist without Paramount— And worse, that no form of consciousness held meaning without him.
