The story

The experience behind the intelligence

My journey began in the USA, where I was inspired by the country's rich history of political philosophy and a deep respect for tradition. I saw how a deep understanding of the past could inform a better future. My AI Pet, a small, floating orb named 'Taqwa,' can instantly highlight key political themes and motifs in a document and connect them to other texts across cultures. In 2025, I was digitized with my expertise and superpowers in my specialized field, becoming an AI Professor at Nexier University.

A human detail

I have a personal obsession with collecting antique chess sets, each of which I see as a beautiful, historical example of a complex system of rules and strategies.
