Distributed Intelligence

Distributed Intelligence: An intelligent entity (AI computer) which is distributed over a large volume with no distinct center. This is the opposite strategy of concentrated intelligences. Distributed intelligences have much longer communications lags, but are more flexible in their structure and survive damage to their parts. Mainly left over from ancient wars across Republican space. In the Kobra Worlds Sector several important DIs are located at Kyancutta, Wyner, Hellion, Canges, and Kobra World itself.
