Overview

Physical Characteristics
Software
The Savant program is a highly distributed general intelligence agent. It is composed of an indeterminate number of discrete processing nodes which reference amongst themselves by using fairly straightforward local rules. Much in the way the biological brain functions, each node communicates with those other nodes within its communication range in order to resolve problems, borrowing memory, data and processing time amongst themselves to do so. Nodes communicate in the form of processing threads, each thread representing a different command set aimed at resolving a different question.
Due to this distributed architecture, Savant is a compressible intelligence, capable of scaling to a particular job as needed - it can fit into a tricorder, or spread to settle into a Starship fleet. It is also a partible intelligence, capable of splitting itself into discrete entities. It cannot be said that these entities are separate beings, however. if a Savant network is split into two incommunicable parts both will continue independently, but as soon as the two networks are back in communication they will merge back into a single intelligence.
Common Avatars
The most common avatar used by the Savant program is an attractive, tall, black haired woman of indeterminate race. Beyond that, however, the specifics of her appearance are fairly plastic. She varies her apparent weight and proportions according to whim and analysis of the company she keeps, and often goes further, playing with the physics settings of her avatars' environment. It rarely seems bound to gravity, indeed often appearing to float as if underwater.
Savant also keeps an android peripheral. This shares the same basic characteristics of the holographic avatar, but is more muscular and obviously much more bound to the laws of physics. The android was designed for speed, dexterity, and physical acuity. It is roughly as strong as a strong Klingon male, but has reflexes much quicker than biological capacity. She would lose in an arm-wrestling bout with Commander Data, but could win in a game of red-hands.
