Orkuver
Orkuver is a term used in speculative fiction and some science fiction role-playing settings to describe a class of autonomous, modular systems that blend organic-inspired adaptability with mechanical control. In most usages, orkuver devices consist of numerous small units that can operate independently while coordinating to achieve larger goals. The design emphasizes distributed cognition, self-assembly, and resilience through modular subsystems.
In portrayal, orkuver systems are often capable of learning from their environment, reconfiguring their hardware for
Variants of orkuver are described with varying scales and focuses, such as micro-orkuver for swarms of tiny
Historically, the term has appeared in online communities and fan-created wikis since the early 2000s as a
