Gupta-Troxel Cybernetic Supercomputers

The Gupta-Troxel cybernetic supercomputer, or GTCS for short, was designed and developed by the scientists Mara Gupta and Kira Troxel.

The GTCS is not the first cybernetic computer, nor is it the fastest or most powerful, but it is the most similar to a human-like brain and became the foundation for seamlessly integrated brain/computer systems. Unlike previous cybernetic computers, the GTCS can be installed in a human brain with almost no surgery or interfacing. Instead, the GTCS is capable of integrating itself and the user requires no special training to activate and control it. GTCSs can also learn to communicate with foreign GTCSs faster than any previous computers and with no human intervention.

They are particularly useful for processing large amounts of information while quickly and efficiently communicating that information to a human brain. Though other computers exists that can process larger amounts of information at greater speeds, none of these computers can do so and communicate with humans quite as efficiently as a GTCS. This makes GTCSs particularly useful for introducing humans to novel information and as such have become a standard for learning and exploration technology, such as probes.

The GTCSs in a series of probes used in Project Columbus which were sent to the moon Arkos eventually led to the development of the collective organism known as botah and a self-replicating organism called sita.
