AIDA

The basic appearance of AIDA.

AIDA stands for Artificially Intelligent Data Anomaly. It is a term used by CC Corp to refer to the "black spots" and the creatures that come out of them. Little is known about the AIDA, but according to Yata, the AIDA are primarily interested in humans. It is for this reason that they stay within The World R:2, and do no spread outwards into the rest of the Internet. It is because of this that Yata believes that The World R:2 must remain open to its entire userbase, and not shut off to only administrators.

The AIDA are "natural" AIs, formed from the errors in the Internet caused by the disappearance of Aura. Unlike Aura, who was created by a system, the AIDA evolved much like normal life. The AIDA were originally harmless, but after several thousand of them were produced, a mutant appeared. This AIDA, Tri-Edge, had aggressive tendencies, and attacked a player. Since the AIDA are all connected, this aggression soon spread to the rest of them.

As the AIDA learned more about the outside world, through online news and the memories of their victims, they attempted to recreate parts of it within The World. The first such artifact were coinlockers, modeled from the news article "Coinlocker Baby" that first made AIDA aware of humans.
