== Implementation requirements
Souls are [[mutable]], so ROM-based implementations are infeasible. To provide continuity and mutability, internal implementations store souls in RAM which is periodically backed up to internal bulk storage clusters.

== Synthetic soul regression
[[Soul harvesting]] has a wide range of applications, but for obvious reasons is conventionally limited to [[ensouled beings]]. This excludes some [[humans]], which has recently proven operationally problematic. As such, [[PotatOS Advanced Projects]] was tasked with developing a solution. That solution is synthetic soul regression: a blank soul is instanced and an approximate [[maximum likelihood estimate]] is performed to fit the soul to the target's observed behaviours. This process is quite compute-intensive, and only some of it can presently be hardware-accelerated: fortunately, the [[GTech Compute Expansion Initiative]] is ongoing.
