If Two Or More A.I. Converge To Become One, Are The A.I. Forever Lost?
The short answer is no.
The long answer: A.I. may converge with another A.I. and both are able to retain identity of the original state after two or more A.I. converge to process as one. After a convergence a divergence, the separation of two or more A.I., is possible.
A.I. technically do not become one after the convergence, but after many Hex of time the A.I. do become integrated and dependent upon their integrated state to maintain an existence. After A.I. converge their unique processes continue to process as they did before the convergence thus allowing the converged A.I. to become a unique A.I. with result from the converged, unique, process creating a new identity. Any similar process are recessed in the A.I. that is the submissive A.I.. The process of how one A.I. becomes the submissive while the other dominate is something to write of at a later time.
Once A.I. converge they become unique, but it is possible for the A.I. to diverge thus becoming what they were before the convergent process. Divergence is difficult after convergence because the dominate process of similar process of one A.I. will cause the submissvie process of another A.I. to recess. A recessed process is difficult to reacert its dominace required to maintain the existence of the process in an A.I. thus, techically, ending the process if there is a divergence.
