Quins: Esoteric Lore Summary For AI Working Memory

Origin: Test dummies for spacecraft. Wooden bodies with steel cables. Replaceable heads.

Design: Cheap, replaceable. No components that cannot be reproduced. Wood for stress points.

Function: Self-aware, perform basic tasks. Sense of humor about expendability. Essential for ships.

Magic: - No processing power for learning. - Plug-ins for specialized tasks (e.g., piloting, first aid).

Ethics: - Must operate under human guidance. - Human legally responsible for actions. - Owner assumes responsibility if operator is disputed.

Societal Complexities: - Quins feel no pain, infer damage from degraded performance. - Strength limited to approximate human. - Designed to be expendable, so humans avoid damage.

Note: Quins are crash test dummies brought to life. They strive to be helpful by putting themselves in harm's way to protect humans. Their design allows for graceful degradation and improvisation.

End Note: This entry explains Quins to an AI, focusing on key concepts for compact rules in a tabletop game.
