The Personality Cores of The Aperture Science Facility were created to help the scientists run the facility and deal with an issue they had with the GLaDOS project. After many apocalyptic events, the cores saw this opportunity as a way to run Aperture their way.
Why were they constructed? Were they originally human? and how did they help keep Aperture functioning when humanity no longer could? In this video, I explore the lore and story behind the Personality Cores in Portal.

My interpretation of Wheatley thinking he would die if he used his basic functions is as follows, the scientists/engineers didn't tell him that, the other cores did. Because they saw him as stupid, they bullied him. Maybe that's one of the reasons he wanted to leave

@Bill-ix2zc 3 месяца назад

I tend to think about it like this: The engineers tell Wheatly that if he uses his flashlight or pops off his rail he will die, as in, his battery would eventually die, or, don't get off the rail if nobody is around. However, he mistook these warnings as "Never do these specific things or you will die instantly.", and never took the time to realize that would be impossible in the first place.

@ckinggaming5bucketmadness766 Год назад

It is theorized that Wheatley was more than just an intelligence dampening sphere, but also programmed to make ideas that hinder Glados/the core in charge and prevent them, hence why he led Chell around before taking over the facility and then proceeded to hinder himself

@@grindelston5968 I wouldn't call Merchant's casting a last-minute thing, since Richard Lord was never intended to be the final voice for Wheatley to begin with; he emphasized that he was just a placeholder for the _Meet Wheatley_ video. It's possible that Merchant was already casted as Wheatley, since Lord wrote in his blog that "theres no way you will be dissapointed with the final voice - i'm over teh moon with who it might be." (sic). It's just that they haven't recorded and/or edited anything in time for the video, hence the placeholder voice.

One very interesting thing is that there probably is a multiverse out there that never invented the cores because GLADOS never tried to kill anyone and she insisted functioned like the scientists intended. And so they would never have tried to make the cores. Another universe in which the scientists did find a combination of cores that succeeded in permanently making GLADOS safe and friendly is also interesting to think about.

@SplotchTheCatThing Год назад

Do get the feeling that the central theme of Portal 2's story has to do with how Wheatley became even more of a disaster than GLaDOS ever was after he took over the facility. Maybe something about how power wielded by someone who doesn't have any real awareness of their own flaws and is thus unable to control them, is more dangerous than power wielded by someone with actual malice. Would explain why they still spent a good chunk of the runtime establishing GLaDOS's malicious nature before even letting Wheatley take over, even though most players would have already been well aware of what she is. Her behaviour is an important point of comparison in the story if the comparison is the story's most important point. :)

@ArsiRochell Год назад

This is just a theory of mine, but what if the cause of GLaDOS's murderous actions were of either her inner intrusive thoughts taking control and her not knowing, or maybe it was for revenge because of the other theory of Caroline being forced to become GLaDOS against her will. I mean think about it, maybe it was the other side of Caroline's happy go lucky personality from what I've observed from her voicelines with Cave Johnson during the near climax of Portal 2. This is just a small theory I had when I played Portal 2 after Portal 1 Update: So Caroline WAS forced to become GLaDOS

@TapTapClick Год назад

I'd like to think that maybe the process of uploading her didn't kill the original and when GLaDOS was fired up it realized it was a copy when faced with it's human self giving her orders and that's what made her so mad.

I like the thought that cores are uploaded human brain engrams. It actually makes sense that Aperture techs would side step programming each core to bring it up to sentience, by just grabbing whatever it is that makes our brains work. It also explains the large number of defective cores. Since they're all connected by wifi, Aperture Labs could have developed one master sentience, with each core having just the personality & programming for their purpose. Equivalent to a human having multiple personalities, except, all at once.

@SirGingerOfKnight Год назад

If I was an Aperture scientist I probably would have suggested after the first time she released neurotoxin into the facility that we give her access to something that tells her it's filled with neurotoxin but is just oxygen or something else that's harmless so she could still "attempt" to release it without anyone actually being hurt and never let her have access to enough to fill more than 1 test chamber with (cause I have no idea why they would bother having it to start with unless for in the test chambers). I would also make sure that there was no way the neurotoxin could enter any areas such as observation rooms, staff lounge, main entrance, bathrooms, labs, pretty much anywhere that the scientists would be at not including inside the test chambers so she can only kill test subjects. As for what I would make as a last resort if she some how managed to bypass everything else would be a mask all personal (other than test subjects) have to have around their neck ready to go along with an antitoxin (granted one would be able to be made at all) that would be attached to the lanyards that their credentials would already be on.

@SplotchTheCatThing Год назад

You know the question I have... why are the test chambers made as puzzles to begin with? Portal 2 makes it pretty clear that this was a deliberate decision by Aperture that they even built their AIs around, so that they can't tell the subjects how to solve the puzzles. But if this is just product testing for the portal gun and whatever other wacky inventions Aperture designs, wouldn't it be more efficient and effective if the subjects knew what they're supposed to do with what they're given? It could be a quirk of company philosophy chalked up to Cave Johnson's insanity, but most of his insanity is pretty well spelled out in Portal 2's story, where the whole puzzle aspect is only established to have been done on purpose, but without any hint as to why.

@sardonicus1739 2 месяца назад

I don't think he was just trying to playtest product. I think he saw himself as a scientist discovering new things about the human condition. I think a lot of the products invented were meant to test human lab rats. To me the fact that he invented a backup so that tests can still be done by the ai cores even after an apocalypse scenario where all humans are wiped out shows that the science itself is more important to him than just it's selling value.

i really would love an in depth video from you on the gman, even if it was just mostly speculation, hes the most fascinating part of the half life series in my opinion, that and all the other lore that proves theres forces way beyond our control at play, for us a life or death struggle, for the powers that be in the multiverse just tuesday.

now , with the new "portal revolution" mod if we can combine the lore from those extraordinar mods, we know , that Caroline (GlaDOS) never agreed to be scanned and put inside a core , and most probably someone from aperture did it when she was unaware of this ; so most probably the scan wasn't complete and that why in portal 2 we can see her become Caroline when she's a potato , the proper GlaDOS was ruled by a set of protocols and "laws" when Caroline is actually a personality, when she was free of those protocols we can see that there is actually a human there after all , and about the part where she didn't agree for the neuroscan (portal revolution mod lore) , that's why she doesn't remember being named CEO and is not bringing up the part where she killed everyone in the facility. i think is an interesting theory and i had to share it.

The personality cores are literally one of my favorite parts of the games. They add so many more questions and theories to explore with the story of Aperture (like the question of whether or not the cores personalities are derived from the uploaded/imprinted consciousnesses of the employees). Thanks for making this video; you did a wonderful job laying out the lore of these delightful constructs. ^v^ --If I were a scientist at Aperture in charge of personality construct creation, I think I'd request for a Music Composition Core to be made: their task would be to write music for the facility to boost productivity and morale. They could be named Pachelbel or something. :) That, or I'd want a Silly/Jester Core to be made, to lighten the stress and depressing mood, y'know?

Is it ever explained why/in what sense GLaDOS is "Genetic"? She was a robot, not a cyborg. And even if Carolin's actual body was somehow integrated (instead of her brain pattern being uploaded or something), she wasn't "genetically modified" or anything, so far as we know? It just never made sense to me, or did I miss something?

@stewartbugler6157 Год назад

On your point of how they would of needed more narrative to implement them... I have to disagree when I met the other cores during the end game I remember being so fascinated by them I spent about 2 hours trying to hear everything they had to say. My favourite obviously the Space core. However if they just dumped a Morgan Freeman Core mid game as temporary replacement to wheatly I would of done exactly the same with him even if it was only 1 level. I imagine it would not be that it is Morgan Freeman just completely obsessed by him. Probably trying to Turing test into being Morgan Freeman. That literally needs no introduction just a babbling core you need to carry from A to B without getting annoyed and ditching it or setting him free believing it is what remains of One of the most iconic actors of the 21st century.

@stewartbugler6157 Год назад

As this has had a few likes I'd also like to add that if the Morgan Freeman Core was a thing and you did have this objective of carry it to A to B or listen to it and set it free... I honestly would leave either path completely ambiguous on whether it survived or not regardless the path... like if you put it in the trash compactor like your told the compactor fails and it laughs and states "I'm Morgan Freeman and I will not be defeated." Or gives a tear jerking speech about Freedom then just simply states... "Just leave me here i have Narration to provide..." then it'll proceed to describe the room you leave him in. Because how amazing would Portal 2 be if you can Narrate half the game with a core that thinks its Morgan Freeman! Like imagine if you got it into Wheatleys terrible puzzles and he struggles to define the room without giving away the solution and eventually breaks from Narration to argue with Wheatley.

@reanybean4878 5 месяцев назад

The theory that GLaDOS is Caroline’s angry existence is really compelling. Either she died being uploaded and those were her last moments or GLaDOS’S spiteful nature is her spiteful nature of being uploaded Things of note I’ve seen in theory comments, I do not believe she’s angry at cave, cave was one of Caroline’s favorite people and even as GLaDOS she holds much respect for him when she hears his voice. GLaDOS is angry at the staff and facility. She LOVES science, she admired cave. But she hates the people who did this to her. She hates humanity.

I think the cores they needed to put on GLADOS would be a combination of: The Sweaty and Shameful Core, the Crippling Depression Core, the Celebrity Impersonator Core, and the "My Fursona is a Fennec Fox/Unicorn" Core.
