Holotronics

• Theoretical basis for sapient AI development conceptualized by Emil Vaslovik, Bruce Maddox, and Reginald Barclay c.2372 (TNG Novel: Immortal Coil)
• Based on a combination of Noonien Soong's positronic matrix model with modern holomatrix developments (TNG Novel: Immortal Coil)
  • Largely inspired by various natural developments of sapient AI through holomatrices, including Moriarty and the Doctor (TNG Novel: Immortal Coil)
  • Holomatrix support intended to provide greater stability against the tendency of positronic matrices to undergo cascade failure when overwhelmed by external stimuli (TNG Novel: Immortal Coil)
• First model successfully implemented June 2374 (TNG Novel: Immortal Coil)
  • Stolen by Emil Vaslivok shortly after activation (TNG Novel: Immortal Coil)
