An intelligent alien intelligence called AL-AN (who is an Architect, or a part of the Precurser race) houses itself inside your cerebral cortex. AL-AN is a hivemind, comprised of multiple lifeforms. The Architects don't see any barriers between organic information storage or digital information storage. The Architects have evolved beyond physical attachment, but still store their consciousness in a biomechanical form for navigating spacetime. Architects are capable of copying themselves add infinium to create copies of themselves, but they don't for cultural reasons as this is considered 'beyond rude.' The Architect Containment Cube is quantum super computer that can process a staggering 35 bits per electron, and the energy field that surrounds the cube also powers it so the inhabitants within can remain conscious.
