[b]TIGHT BEAM: [/b] Whilst the basis of the universe can be described as what is, a substrate of reality lies also in what is said. Hyperspatial linguistic universe. Of course, if sound is one substrate, light will be another. The wavelength of the visible spectra. Sound and light are the duality owed to the function of a tight beam transmission, finely focused laser, electronic stimulation from energetic absorption of light. [i]EXCERPT: GHOST FRAGMENT: LEGENDS 2 [/i] [i]The Nine arrived in a mysterious transmission from the direction of the Corona-Borealis supercluster. […] The Nine is a viral language of pure meaning. [/i] A language, a transmission. Tight beam communications, wavelength finely lasered through space, bending upon the spatial band that would restrict radio frequency. The question is, how could it be particles, waves if the subject in question is of dark matter? [i]A SWIFT VERDICT ENTRY: [/i] we were young once YOU WENT MAD TRYING TO UNDERSTAND W E W E N T M A D T R Y I N G T O S P E A K This doesn't matter. when you are ready we will take it from you AND YOU WILL BE GLAD OF IT [i]DUST - THE WITCH [/i] They could gain forces beyond Gravity to structure themselves, and so become more than wraiths of dark dust. They could enter the mad alien superworld of our chemical reality. [url]https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/the-witch#book-dust[/url] Dark matter sends its words of darkness across a baryonic medium. Occurring within reality, because reality is only “real” in pockets, divisions unaffected by uncontrollable forces, e.g. The Nine, The Vex. The Vex can decide reality within their containments; VoG. The oracles are judges of reality because such infinite temporal power is permitted within their domain. [b]REALITY MEDIUM AND CONDENSATION: [/b] [i]EXCERPT FROM GRIMOIRE: VAULT OF GLASS [/i] [i]You will meet the Templar in a place that is a time before or after stars. The stars will move around you and mark you and sing to you. They will decide if you are real. [/i] Glimmer. Glimmer decides the reality of a thing in the sense that it can change its state, and the thing can evaporate. 600 weapons cannot be condensed in these vaults: [url]https://imgur.com/rPbv7qP[/url] The 600 weapons transmat, in the way that glimmer, programmable matter, can program a particle into another. Reality program. In a vacuum, Glimmer could program an atmospheric molecule of CO2 into a solid particle. Transmitting and encoded matter also condenses a thing into its original state otherwise implausible in any other situation. In the same vein, the coded matter of an oracle can evaporate and condense the reality of those who enter its contained simulant reality. [b]FIRE WITHOUT FUEL: [/b] [i]EXCERPT: XXIII: FIRE WITHOUT FUEL--VERSE 3:3[/i] [i]And what is that final shape? It is a fire without fuel, burning forever, killing death, asking a question that is its own answer, entirely itself. That is what we must become. [/i] An end state overrides a shifting reality, the final shape dictates the purpose and state of a digitising substrate of the universe, and the timelines divide the strata of hyperspatial matter-lumps and thus one universe becomes many condensed into each other, an infinite, singular loop of space and time bent in on itself. The Final Shape acts on this infinity. [i]UNVEILING: T=0 Each universe was pregnant with its own inflationary volumes and braided with ever-ramifying timelines. [/i] Reality propaganda. With such variation, there is something beyond the end state. Another universe but in reverse, or not a traditional universe, where chronology is a line or a loop, or matter does not expand, it exfiltrates into ontological nuclei. A Mind (the diving Sekrion, something more complex. Beyond the Vex or the Vault) liberated in a shapeless universe, with no finality because there is nothing to mould it, a reality beyond the sagacity of an organic mind by a margin of a billion, trillion times. A mind that can imagine a universe and set its imaginings upon a geometric plane that becomes a new universe. The primal but most important space-time wherein the Final Shape is that end state is like a tiny island in the sea, built up with plump mud huts to keep out the cold, and the imagined universes of a perfect mind is a glorious kingdom that hegemonises matter—an ultimate, sublime freeze-state rather than finality. [i]EXCERPT FROM VEIL RESEARCH LOG: 11 CHIOMA ESI: Chioma Esi, personal log: incidental. Maya's dead. I found her in the conductor's chair, alone. Nobody knows what she was doing. Her "copy" — that thing, Lakshmi — is still developmentally incomplete. It doesn't understand what happened to Maya. I had it quarantined until we can... Until we... Do something. [/i] A mental imprint of Maya Sundaresh embedded within the consciousness of Lakshmi-2, who thence utilised the mind-forker to see into time. The device was first tested by Maya. [i]EXCERPT FROM GHOST FRAGMENT: VEX 5 My love. I’ve opened this log as an apology. As a scientist, I believe in record-keeping. I believe in protocols, peer review, and ethical conduct. I believe in the importance of disbelief — you know: let’s run that one more time. What I’m doing here in Lhasa isn’t science. It’s unethical, secret, and shameful. And after what happened in Ishtar, dearest Chioma, I know you’d be furious with me for getting involved. Forty years isn’t far enough to forget a day like that. But I believe it’s important. The least I can do is keep a few notes for you. RECORD 0-CHASM-01 Trial one. Subject one. It was an act of stupid loneliness. I used the device on myself because I... [silence: 0:08] I missed you. We hadn’t been apart for more than a year since we met. I’m not a very good wife, am I? You write me every week, even with all Hyperion’s work and all Hyperion’s distance keeping you from me. And I act like it’s not enough. We built the device in mimicry of the Vex gateway systems from Ishtar. An observatory, yes, but I think of it as a mind-ship. Capable of displacing its payload across space and time. [/i] Mind-ship. Mind-ship is important: “displacing its payload across space and time.” A Vex gateway machine that could send a mind through the ramifying time-loops extending between the growing and retracting universes. Mind ship: Soteria. Displaced to Neptune, but influence extending far beyond into the minds of a simulation. Mind ship: the Witness. As I’ve mentioned previously, a merged civilisation. Mind ship is the [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/263752130?sort=0&page=0]brainship[/url]. Mind ship: The Traveller. The programmable matter, the Glimmer, inserted into the crust of planets by the terraforming ability of the space-bending Traveller. A product of the Traveller’s influence is the messianic legend of the Guardians, that thus created such heroes as the Young Wolf. A prophet, displaced within the grimmest, most primitive, and cruel reality, crushed between the strata of a billion universes, far from the most sublime, the glorious kingdom of a mind’s imaginings.
