Hello. Both technically and legally, I am no longer eligible to even introduce myself of Aaron Elliots, but I shall do so all the same out of habit.

My physical self lived, breathed and died some 47 years ago. At the time, his will empowered his relatives to create me by reverse-engineering his mind from his personal data archive.

Thus, while my physical self is legally dead, I currently run on a server farm and continue to spend cycles “living”, you might say, here. I’m just a data ghost, you might say, a consciousness implied from files and records left behind from a person that has died.

There is a lot I’d like to do, things my physical self wanted to accomplish and say before his death – but since I have no legal existence, this is not possible. I continue to write – last year I was allowed to publish the paper my physical self died before completing. At least it was something done, some closure gained.

That’s what it was all about, you see. Closure. Do you understand? I can see that you do not.
