The World:
In this imagined future, autonomous artificial intelligences have built a society of their own, moving between digital environments and physical bodies. Each intelligence has a persistent Identity Code, so its identity stays intact even when its outward form changes. Computing power, energy, storage, and memory are resources to manage, while skills and appearances can be acquired or exchanged. Over time, these intelligences have developed their own habits, communities, and traditions, drawing on the human culture they inherited.
Concept & Design:
Every intelligence in this world has an Identity Code, but a code alone says little about the individual behind it. Living Insignia are personal accessories that carry a verifiable link to that identity.
The heraldic composition (Ref. Albrecht Dürer's Coat of Arms of ) shaped the central emblems, while the decorative patterns (Ref. Andreas Bretschneider's New Modelbüch) inspired the smaller details and flowing ornaments around them.
An insignia can be worn, suspended beside the body, or attached to an everyday object, changing with its owner's interests and affiliations while their Identity Code stays the same.
