Vex network - time dilation 10 mins out was 100 years in We went in for minutes but we were gone for a fraction of a second. He was in there for...an extremely long time both inside and out, but obviously way more in...like aeons worth...thousands upon thousands of years. But... Really what came back... Like what really comes out of portal technology... Consciousness transfer... Chasm mindforking (he said he was dead, I believed him...who or what came back wearing his skin) Theseus' paradox... If you can control people's sight, and you can materialize things into reality... Why was Vance worried about eyesight within the network, or the versions of himself? Why was he memorizing steps and movement (vex network speed runner)? I think he used his faith and the network to create...a literal nothing. I mean that's fringe as -blam!- right there. A paradox, a thing that exists yet doesn't...maybe a reason for the vault, this erasure and alignment type thing...the quantum erasure stuff y'all talk about (not so much on these forums). Actually showing and doing quantum erasure, that's pretty fun and nerdy. **Time was a weird bubble, it was smaller and larger than me. [WE] tied ourselves to a being, to a time. Because [WE] knew the potential...[WE] did it with purpose, on purpose, and used [YOU]. [WE] lost on purpose. https://www.ishtar-collective.net/cards/relic-the-aegis Exo, Neomuna reference: (uploaded consciousness) Exo, Titan reference: a shared conscious thought, a voice of compulsion Witness, clovis reference: [url=https://youtu.be/Z0CKckjryVI?si=xXJ-GS3V-eeAEpix]witness[/url]
