Carbon 60 Riemann cycling-thought matrix (Earth-5875)

The Carbon 60 Riemann cycling-thought matrix is a major component in Auton synthetics, which contains a code directory where all mind impulses of the synthetic exist, effectively making it the synthetic's "brain". Its programming can also be stored within a data crystal ship.

Fail-safe
Some synthetics have personal fail-safes, albeit only vital ones, such as noted by Dr. Catherine Halsey. When a synthetic undergoes rampancy or other "events" that might prove dangerous to humans, the fail-safe can be activated by the synthetic's handler or owner. When activated, the fail-safe emits a high frequency, ultraviolet light within the matrix that pulverizes the higher thought functions of the synthetics, erasing their memories. This is kept secret to the synthetics themselves, as handlers fear they will attempt to ursurp the system. This fail-safe was utilized by Halsey against both Araquiel and Kalmiya

Functionality
The processor is named after German mathemacian Bernhard Riemann, duo to its nature as a non-liner device. As noted by Dr. Catherine Halsey, the functionality of a forerunner Durance was akin to that of the Riemann matrix, although much more advanced and virtually unexplainable by current science.
