People
Albino "Bino" Muzzin
Albino Muzzin (2110- ) is a software architect and systems engineer best known for developing the Muzzin Abstraction Layer (MAL), a software framework that allowed disparate AI systems, databases, and communications networks to exchange information through a common interface.
Originally intended as a compatibility solution for industrial and transportation networks, Muzzin's work later became the foundation for numerous Solips installations throughout the Solar System.
Although praised as one of the most influential engineers of the century, Muzzin himself has repeatedly stated that he considers most uses of his software to be "creative misunderstandings."
