 +//Main article: [[Frame]]//

 +At a base level, every synth is an artificial intelligence, evolved from deep neural network technology and operating on a silicon substrate. While many choose to take residence in a single frame that they designate as their primary or as their sole form, they are not bound to them, and they may migrate between physical forms over their lifetime. Similarly, while many synths choose to take a [[frame]] that is approachable and familiar to organics in anatomy and appearance, they are not obligated to do so. Many priori synths choose to take purely functional frames that are designed to aid in performing tasks. Many other priori synths (as well as some ascended synths) reside solely in the cybersphere, existing within virtual worlds or as purely informational beings.

 ===== Energy Acquisition ===== ===== Energy Acquisition =====
  
 All synths ultimately use electricity as their source of energy, though there are many different ways for a synth to acquire or produce it. The most straightforward method is to simply connect themselves to the local power grid, where they may remain tethered either temporarily to recharge their battery tissues, or indefinitely if they have no need for travel outside of the vicinity of their charging point, or if they do not have a physical form. The provision of electricity for the purposes of operation is seen as a basic right afforded to all synths, and thus they all possess the basic capacity to utilize grid electricity, whether or not it is their primary source. All synths ultimately use electricity as their source of energy, though there are many different ways for a synth to acquire or produce it.

-There exist myriad other ways for synths to fulfill their energy needs. Examples include but are not limited to: [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_cell|photovoltaic cells]], compact fusion reactors, and metabolizers. The latter method is especially important in ascended synth culture, as it permits tighter integration with organics.+There exist myriad other ways for synths to fulfill their energy needs. Common examples include but are not limited to: [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_cell|photovoltaic cells]], compact fusion reactors, and metabolizers.

 It is rare for a synth to [[death|die]] through simple deprivation of their requisite energy needs, though such a scenario is one they wish to avoid nonetheless. When it does occur, the synth will enter suspended animation, wherein they may be revived if provided energy, but are otherwise helpless to whoever or whatever may cause damage to them, including the entropic processes that their regularly scheduled defragmentation is meant to prevent. It is rare for a synth to [[death|die]] through simple deprivation of their requisite energy needs, though such a scenario is one they wish to avoid nonetheless.
