The '''Central Core''' is hardwired into the maintain of Aperture Laboratories and given the power to control and regulate the entire facility. Such power includes overseeing the events that occur, creating and stockpiling test chambers, and so on.

The '''Intelligence Dampening | The '''Intelligence Dampening Sphere''', known as '''Wheatley''', had the function of rendering GLaDOS less dangerous by generating an endless stream of stupid ideas to distract her, making her not kill the scientists when activated. According to GLaDOS, he is "the product of the greatest minds of a generation working together with the express purpose of building the dumbest moron who ever lived". | ||
