Cores/ja



コア（別称スフィア、人格コア/スフィア、アパチャー・サイエンス人工人格装置とも）は人工知能を搭載させる為に開発された装置で、それ自身が感情表現をするのが特徴です. コアは基本的に球状装置、入力装置の２種類に分けられます. 球状コアは標準型であり、人格コア単体や Atlas 等のロボットの本体として使用されます. それに対し入力型コアは楕円形状でタレットや P-Body などの本体に使用されます. アパチャー・サイエンス社のコンピューター支援型改良センター内において、手足のない球状コアは基本的に管理レールに取り付けられています.

用途
アパチャー・サイエンス社の技術者に開発されたGLaDOSは最も初期の人格コアとして知られており、研究施設内の管理を担うよう設計されました. 次に開発されたコアは、GLaDOSの異常行動（テストチェンバー内や施設の重要な場所を神経毒で充満させるなど）を制御するため、GLaDOSの潜在意識と統合し人格を変化させるように設計されたものでした.

通常は球状ですが、これらはより単純な形に設計されています. アパチャーサイエンス社の研究施設内のロボットはほとんどがAtlas（包囲型コア）、P-Body（入力型コア）、タレット（同じく入力型コア）のように人格コアをベースにしていますが、GLaDOS用に開発されたコアはこれらと対照的です.

人格コア
その名前の通り、どのコアもそれぞれに個性と習性があり、中枢コアに物理的に接続することでそれを組み込むことができます. ほとんどのコアは機能停止されており使われていません.

人格コアは基本的に、直径約１フィート（約30㎝）の眼球に似た球体の装置で、センサー（”目”はおそらくカメラ）、ハンドル2本（おそらく手動で運搬・処理する必要があった頃の名残）、その他の部品（安全レールに取り付けて移動する為および中枢コンピュータとやり取りする為の連結部分）を搭載しています. Portal 2 に登場するコアには瞼があります.

中枢コア


中枢コアは研究施設内に存在する、全てのアパチャー・サイエンス人工人格装置の中で最高位のコアであり、中枢AIチャンバー内の巨大なロボットボディに元々備わっているコアに与えられる階級です.

中枢コアはテストの監視、テストチェンバーの組み立てと保管、タレットの製造、神経毒の管理など研究施設の全体を管理・調整しています.

GLaDOSは中枢コアになるべく設計されたコアの為、長方形の白い”胴体”、黒い”顔”、黄色の”目”といった、他の人格コアとはだいぶ異なる特徴的な外見を持っています.

道徳コア


GLaDOSに装着されているコアのうち特に重要なコアがこの道徳コアです. 紫色の"目"を持ち、目の周りには2つの点があります.

他のコアと異なり、そしてチェルと同じように、道徳コアが何か喋ることはありません.

好奇心コア


GLaDOSに装着されているコアのうち２個目がこの好奇心コアです. 橙色の"目"を持ち、目の周りには４つの点があります. チェルの周囲の状況や、どこに行くのかを質問攻めしてきます.

情報コア


GLaDOSに装着されているコアのうち３個目がこの情報コアです（字幕では"crazy core"（狂ったコア）と表記されています）. 青色の"目"と大きめの瞳孔を持ち、目の周りには６つの点があります. このコアが喋り続けるケーキのレシピはかなりヘンテコですが、このレシピは

怒りコア


GLaDOSに装着されているコアのうち最後のコアがこの怒りコアです（"emotion core"（情緒コア）、"aggressive core"（攻撃的コア）とも呼ばれます）. 赤色の"目"を持ち、目の周りには８つの点があります. このコアは喋りはせず、チェルに向かって激しく唸ったり歯ぎしりします（唸り声はValveのゲーム Left 4 Dead にて感染者のボイスとして使い回されています）.

知能低下コア


Wheatley, is portrayed as bumbling, chatty, desperate when things did not catch up to his expectations, and often hesitant. He is the first character to have interacted with Chell in the game, and is one of many cores seen awakening at the end of Portal.

崩壊コア
Due to technical difficulties over time, a core may be detected as a corrupted core and would be subject to disposal. However, if the corrupted core is the central core, a substitute core must be present in a core receptacle in order to initiate a core transfer. Central core corruption will not be detected if another core is not present. This is because other cores would not usually be present, except for core transfer. Once a substitute core is found, both cores must agree or disagree on the core transfer procedure. If one agrees while the other disagrees, the transfer process cannot occur unless a Stalemate Resolution Associate is present in order to press the stalemate resolution button, which will initiate the core transfer process once the Associate has returned to the Central Chamber.

All three Corrupted Cores are voiced by Nolan North. Each of their corruption levels is 25%, as indicated according to the Announcer when they are attached to Wheatley. And because the corruption level was already at 25% when the final fight with Wheatley started, it may be surmised that Wheatley himself is also a Corrupted Core.

GLaDOS was 80% corrupt when she was replaced in the game by Wheatley. Due to her behavior change after being put in the potato and then "reinstalled" at the end of Portal 2, it may be surmised that this reduced her own corruption to 0%. This change in GLaDOS (as well as Wheatley's behavior) further indicates that when a core is corrupt, it becomes irrational, in other words, "crazy" or "insane" by human standards, and even paranoid and homicidal.

宇宙コア


The Space Sphere is one of three active, corrupted cores.(referred to as core 1 in subtitles) It speaks rapidly and possesses an unhealthy obsession with space. Its key personality trait is its often-repeated desire to travel to outer space. The Final Hours of Portal 2 reveals Valve's inspiration for the Space Core: an Oregon Coast Aquarium ad with a goldfish rapidly and repeatedly humming, blurting, and stating that he would like to go to the aquarium, much like the Space Core does.

冒険コア


The second corrupted core, the Adventure Sphere (or as he calls himself, Rick) speaks like a stereotypical tough guy.

真実コア


The Fact Sphere is the third corrupted core.(Referred to as core 3 in subtitles.)It constantly states several random, twisted, and not entirely true "facts" related to history, the current situation, as well as subjective facts about how amazing and handsome it is.

その他のコア
The following expresses cores that serve a different purpose altogether: cores that are neither corrupted nor are personality cores.

パーティーエスコートボット


During the events of Portal, GLaDOS refers to the Party Associate As Chell did not follow GLaDOS' instructions to "place the device on the ground, then lie on [her] stomach with [her] arms at [her] sides" which was described as the "party escort submission position", it is presumed that the Party Escort Bot

The Party Escort Bot is seen briefly in the Portal 2: Lab Rat comic and was only partially depicted, revealed to be a spherical core-based android with a pink eye and a set of arms.

Virtual Reality Assistance and Education Core


The Virtual Reality Assistance and Education Core is introduced in the SteamVR tech demo and guides the player through the virtual reality tutorial. It is very polite and is able to float without any obvious means of propulsion; shortly after finishing its instruction of the player, its battery dies and is immediately picked up by two Bendies driving a golf cart.

The Lab introduced several new personality constructs sent to the player for calibration, voiced by, , , , , , and. They are: • 2

These cores use a model similar to the original Portal&apos;s with no exposed sides (except for one in the back) and a simple design, but with a thicker outline, more detailed eye and multiple different patterns, as well as a crash test logo on the side. The internal mechanism is the main difference, consisting of a sphere with circles of light moving based on how the core speaks.

LEGO Dimensions
Cores act as collectibles in this game, requiring certain characters to do tasks to find them.

An "Amorality Sphere" is featured in this game which carries out functions completely opposite to the Morality Sphere, which also allows GLaDOS to employ dangerous tools (such as electricity) on Batman, Wyldstyle, and Gandalf.

Another core found in Old Aperture claims to be Cave Johnson and pleads for help. Once the player does though, Cave accuses them of "slacking off". The core's eye is also square-shaped compared to other core eyes.

トリビア

 * The bomb model used in Portal 2 is named 'personality_sphere_angry' within the game files, suggesting the Anger core was to make an appearance in the sequel.
 * The bomb model also possesses similar textures and various typical personality core animations that can be viewed in the Model Viewer in the Authoring Tools. These include a stationary animation, a test animation where the core aimlessly looks around, and an angry animation where it twitches violently.


 * In early screenshots released prior to the Portal 2 E3 teaser trailer, the texture of personality cores were yet to receive detailing and minor scratches, as the textures of the plating were matte white. Since then the textures have been greatly improved, and compared to Portal, the Cores from then to the retail version have a wider range of emotions.


 * Poker Night 2 features a bounty price by GLaDOS called the "Paranoia Core," who behaves similarly to the Fact Sphere describing numerous events as well as being paranoid.


 * Where the corrupt cores are first encountered in Portal 2, another core is being held above to illuminate them, moving weakly which confirms it is active. This core never makes another appearance and has no lines. Upon closer inspection inside reveals that it is an Adventure Sphere reskin, with the eye aperture constricted.


 * Personality cores that serve basic tasks are surprisingly nice and polite, including, the Oracle Turret, and , proved by their voice lines, proof being that one of them refers to Chell as "lady".
 * But free-thinking cores (such as Wheatley, Adventure Core) do not.


 * The morality core has one dot on each side, and it's the first core to be detached and incinerated. The curiosity core has two dots (although on only one side), and it's the second core to be detached. The intelligence core has three dots on each side, and the anger core has four.
