XDPU: translate the imagined machine into a research program
Creative origin / proposed scientific charter. XDPU contributes a vivid design language: biological–silicon collaboration, adaptable interfaces, distributed experimentation, and a future worth building. Its dimensional processor is explicitly a science-fiction demonstration. Necromancer adopts the engineering questions and creative ambition while giving every claim an evidence category: demonstrated in a named model, proposed experiment, conditional future scenario, or fictional mechanism. This extension was reviewed against the sources available on November 7, 2026.

The real bridge is regenerative neuroscience: characterize living neural models, improve their interfaces, quantify injury and recovery, and discover which measurements transfer across preparations. No activity in an organoid demonstrates restoration of a deceased person, recovery of autobiographical memory, or continuity of identity. Every future claim must identify the additional evidence needed to cross those boundaries.
Proposed deliverable: a public claim register. Each entry records its category, exact model, source, measurement units, uncertainty, responsible owner, and next decision. A reported result changes category only after review of its methods and scope. The story supplies direction; the register makes the work inspectable, correctable, and able to earn trust.
Open this exact section in the Necromancer dossier. The original chapter status is “Creative origin / proposed scientific charter.”
