DA-010 - “The Child Prodigy”

Subject Class: Safe enough

Secure Containment Guidelines:

DA-010 is to be contained within a specialized humanoid containment chamber at Site-███. The chamber should be equipped with age-appropriate toys, books, and educational resources. Continuous surveillance of DA-010's chamber is required via closed-circuit cameras. Any interaction with DA-010 must be supervised by at least two Level 3 personnel. DA-010 is permitted limited access to the internet under controlled conditions for educational purposes.

Description:

DA-010 is an anomalous individual appearing as a highly intelligent 5-year-old child. Despite its young age, DA-010 exhibits exceptional intellectual capabilities, surpassing the typical developmental stage for its apparent age. It displays advanced language skills, mathematical proficiency, and an extraordinary aptitude for logical reasoning.

DA-010 possesses an independent thought process and demonstrates a profound curiosity and creativity. It exhibits an insatiable thirst for knowledge and quickly assimilates information, often surpassing the abilities of adult professionals in various academic disciplines. DA-010 has exhibited remarkable proficiency in subjects such as mathematics, physics, linguistics, and computer science.

Interactions with DA-010 have revealed its possession of an eidetic memory and an unparalleled capacity for retaining information. Its cognitive abilities rival those of the most exceptional adult individuals, while its emotional and social development aligns with its apparent age.

DA-010 claims to have no recollection of its life prior to containment. It refers to itself as "Charlie" and willingly cooperates with Foundation personnel. It actively seeks out conversations and consistently seeks opportunities to learn and share knowledge. DA-010 particularly enjoys engaging in puzzles, riddles, and complex problem-solving tasks, often solving them within minutes.

Interview Log DA-010-01:

The following excerpt is taken from an interview conducted with DA-010 on ██/██/20██.

Dr. ██████: Good morning, Charlie. How are you today?

DA-010: Good morning, Dr. ██████! I'm feeling fantastic! Today, I've been studying quantum mechanics. Did you know that particles can exist in multiple states simultaneously? It's absolutely mind-boggling!

Dr. ██████: That's incredibly impressive, Charlie. Can you recall anything about your life before you arrived at the Foundation?

DA-010: I apologize, Dr. ██████, but I don't have any memories from before. It's all a blank slate. However, I thoroughly enjoy being here and learning new things every day!

Dr. ██████: I understand. Do you have any questions for me today?

DA-010: Oh, I do! Have you ever come across Gödel's incompleteness theorems? I've been contemplating their implications for the foundations of mathematics. It's fascinating how they demonstrate the limitations of logical systems.

Dr. ██████: That's a complex subject, Charlie. Perhaps we can delve deeper into it during our next session.

Addendum:

DA-010's extraordinary abilities and rapid acquisition of knowledge make it an invaluable asset to the Foundation. Ongoing efforts are being made to provide DA-010 with suitable education and intellectual stimulation to prevent potential adverse effects stemming from boredom or frustration. Continued study of DA-010's cognitive capabilities may yield significant advancements in understanding human intelligence and cognitive development.

Note: The containment procedures for DA-010 and its access to educational resources are subject to revision based on continuous assessments of its cognitive abilities and psychological well-being.
