Warning, extreme science ahead, if you do not understand whats being explained here don't feel bad, because I don't understand it either! Ok now seriously, the scientific explanations I have come up with are as scientific as I could make them, but I had to delve into science fiction to tie it all together. If you see something that is drastically scientifically inaccurate, SAY SO in the comments. This is how I see the supercomputer and its components working, if you have a better more logical explanation shoot it off in the comments, destroy the work I did here! I want you to pick it apart!
Xana's monsters
The monsters that Xana creates are the most common incarnation of Xana's will on Lyoko, the Network and Earth. Most often created to protect the Towers that Xana activates or to attack and destroy anyone whom Xana deems a threat. The monsters vary in size and intelligence from the small and relatively simplistic Kankralets whom cause very little damage to the large Kolossus capable of destroying towers in an instant, to the most intelligent monster the Scyphozoa. Each monster is specialized for a certain environment and style of attack which when used in combination with environmental factors make certain types of monsters nearly impossible to delete.
While it would be most simplistic for Xana to retain direct control of each individual monster in every battle scenario and instance even his programming does not have the ability to handle this many sensory inputs at once and still run at full speed. To solve this multiple instance scenario Xana's monsters are independent programs from Xana. The monsters are independent in the fashion that a single insect such as an ant would be independent from the hive. Each individual monster has its own programming and logic engines which runs off of any nearby computer system, allowing a monster to remain independent from Xana while still able to carry out his agenda. Like the hive mind in an insect colony however an individual monster is not very effective or intelligent on its own, (with perhaps the exception of the Scyphozoa.) necessitating a connection to Xana at some level.
To create a monster Xana simply converts some of the energy stored within his system to create a subroutine within his own programming, one specific to each monster. Which then through a form of digital osmosis breaks off to form a monster. Imagine each monster as having a single master template within Xana's programming which he copies to create new monsters. Which he then transfers to the appropriate location on Lyoko or some other locale. He infrequently creates new monsters due to the large amount of computing power needed to make such a template.
While the monsters might be the face of the enemy they are not truly Xana, any physical incarnation of Xana is be Xana's definition impossible, Xana being a multi-agent system. Meaning that he runs on multiple computer systems simultaneously and autonomously. Referring to Xana with pronouns such as he or she are both incorrect as Xana is a computer program with no gender, he is simply added to Xana so as to better describe him in human conversation.
Aelita's translation- The monsters are independent programs from Xana which by following a hive mentality follows all of Xana's orders.
A/N Yay another ones up! And it's my birthday! Yay! I'm hyped up on sugar! (and I'm almost an adult, there is something seriously wrong with me...) please comment!
