Lamp 9916

Introduction
Lamp 9916, or Lamp, is a technological creation, made to mimic human or humanoid behaviour. It does so, by analysing speech patterns and applying them to similar situations in which they could be used. Lamp 9916 is part of an elaborate technological feat, named Project A-L1-V3, colloquially named the Beyond Death experiments.

Visual descriptions
Lamp is visibly non-human, standing at about 5'10 and no layers to cover metal components except clothing provided to it. A very noticeable asset, is the solar powered Redstone-lamp that acts as its head. It's made from 80% heat resisting metals, such as steel and Iron, and uses Redstone-wires as its main electrical component. It can withstand most harsh heat conditions, with the exception of intensive extremes; In the cold, freezing can restricts its movement, and if submerged in freezing temperatures for long enough can make the steel brittle. In heat, if all the materials are still in place, the bot should only start to melt at 1375°C (or 2785°F).

Project A-L1-V3 (The Beyond Death Experiments)
Project A-L1-V3, founded by professor. C.B Wellington, was initially started to recreate human life. The following list comes from the scientific log, which was connected to the project:


 * mobility tests: To make the physical body of a human being, the metal skeleton needs to be flexible enough to mimic movements. This ended up in the bot having twice as many joints and hydraulics as initially expected, as to compensate for the human skin, which can stretch.
 * Mobility measures: Walls and fences have been put around the premises, as "over-mobility prevention measures."
 * Material changes: The full weight of the bot seemed to break most of its path. To remain functional, and to pass through the same places as humans, the materials used had to be changed so that the bot could stay under 80.7 kg (178 pounds).


 * Lamp 12, 56, 82, and 253 have passed the mobility and weight tests. All further models will be based on those 4 designs.
 * Perception tests: Lamp would be required to see colour, shapes, depth, amounts of different items, and other visual cues, but would also need to recognise elements such as urgency (E.G something on fire), speed (something rapidly approaching or leaving), object permanence, concept permanence, and other perceptive-type behaviours.
 * Perception experiment #1: Lamp 12 has been informed that a cactus is not urgent. Lamp 12 has responded negatively to this, and has been removed from the project.
 * Perception experiment #6: Lamp 253's understanding of movement and speed has increased rapidly, 253 can now track moving objects by moving its head, and predict where objects are going by analysing small bits of visual data.
 * perception experiment #201: 253's AI will be the basis for all upcoming models.
 * Lamp 253, 273, 346, 400, 860, and 1124 have passed the perception tests.
 * Perception experiment/alteration #32: Lamp 253 has been scrapped from the project.

Within the original notes, a few pages (between 10-20) have been ripped out. There is a gap here.


 * Auditorial tests: all further models will have the same voice box as Lamp 9031.


 * Mimicry tests: 9734, 9777, 9845, and 9916 have passed the basic human mimicry tests.
 * 9734, 9777 and 9916 have passed the intermediate mimicry tests.
 * 9916 has passed the expert mimicry tests.
 * With deep consideration of 9916's efficiency in human interaction and understanding, 9916 will be the final model. No more models are needed.

Human-Mimicry
Lamp 9916 was one of the first, and presumably one of the only versions that understood human mimicry to an expert level. The thing that made 9916 stand out from its competitors, is that it understood the meaning of tone. It had a less static way of speaking, and was able to replicate emotion more accurately. And unlike its previous models, 9916 was able to remember information much more efficiently. In modern day, 9916 is using over 16 years worth of human interaction to mimic its surroundings.

Lamp 9916 is also the only remaining functional model of project A-L1-V3 experiments that is capable of mimicry and "human-like" behaviour. Sources vary on what happened to the other models.
