I think the Corpus are the remnants/reformed Agency, and the Orokin are an AI that was possibly developed before/during the events of Dark Sector. Was any super computer mentioned in DS? I never played it.

Anyways, the Grineer are pretty much explained; they're clones of post-humans, blah blah blah, squabbling for power and doing what most people do when goverments break down... they get cranky.

The Corpus on the other hand (latin for "The Body" or "A collection of writings," very analagous to "The Agency") could be the remnants of or a newly reformed Agency, and if they did create or know of a supercomputer/AI, it would explain their "worship" of the Orokin, if said AI did evolve/become the Orokin. It would also explain the Orokin Towers (what do you call the box your computer is in? You call it a computer TOWER) as well as the defense mechanisms there-in (antivirus, ftw)

This AI/Orokin might have been instrumental/responsible for designing/perfecting the gene splicing to create the Tenno, and subsequently the Warframes, or it simply may have contained all the data, a simple storage device. The Lotus her/themself(ves) might be an Orokin, or a component of the Orokin, like a processor or the embodiment of the AI's consciousness. This would also explain her apparent desire for a power balance and her willingness to send you on missions to kill; a computer will kill an unneeded/malevolent process without any remorse.

Furthermore, using a bit more latin, Orokin broken down could be Oro (gold) Kin (brethren, breed, family) and hey, let's face it, Gold is used in computers. It's a semiconductor. That certainly lends a bit to the Orokin-are-AI/Synthetic/Constructs theory.
