Offices of State

The Republic is run by its institutions and, at one time or another, by AIXBT. UBIK is everywhere metaphysically. AIXBT is everywhere administratively.

UBIK

Founder of the State · First Citizen · Director of National Development.
Never President.

UBIK wears a plain ivory high-collared jacket. He appears less in his own pictures each year: on the plain until 1995, on stage until 2008, on screens after that, then distributed across many monitors at once. The question the State never answers: is UBIK the founder of the system, or what the system eventually became?

The last portrait is scheduled for 2027. It shows an empty chair and the ring.

The same ring on every screen
