Pre-Sentient Algorithms Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri

Pre-Sentient Algorithms SMAC

Pre-Sentient Algorithms is a Discover technology 5 in Firaxis' TBS Game of 1999, Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri (SMAC). Pre-Sentient Algorithms is most notable for unlocking the ability to research The Hunter-Seeker Algorithm secret project, which is one of the best in SMAC.

• Pre-Sentient Algorithms unlocked by: Advanced Military Algorithms, Cyberethics
• Pre-Sentient Algorithms unlocks Base Facilities: The Hunter-Seeker Algorithm
• Pre-Sentient Algorithms unlocks Technologies: Fusion Power, Probability Mechanics, Orbital Spaceflight
• Pre-Sentient Algorithms Unit Advances: Polymorphic Encryption
• Pre-Sentient Algorithms Miscellaneous: Increase Probe Team base morale

The philosophy of Cyberethics (B4) and the technology of Advanced Military Algorithms (E3) pave the way for development of Pre-sentient Algorithms. These open-ended neural net programs can sort and process exebytes of data, 'learning' as they do so and adapting to the world they observe.
