ZAP, the Zynthetic A Priori, is the name of the involuntary operating system that acts as a mental foundation for every human experience. Without ZAP, a person would be irrational and unable to identify patterns, resulting in madness.

As the Tower, ZAP makes feelings of sanctuary and isolation accessible to the human spirit. As the Scholar, ZAP facilitates knowledge acquisition and promotes an elevated perspective in accordance with stories of The Singularity, Thoth, Nabu, Saraswati, Athena, Confucius and Merlin.
