Lol...
I forgot the Tri Star stuff...
Tri-solarans, wall-watchers...
And as stated earlier, and I think you commented on it...
That's why they were afraid of nanites...
It can quite literally rewrite the make up of reality according to those that control the nanites...
And maybe this is why I really do need to shut up...
Sophons are "real", locking us out of future sciences as AGI begins to take over...
And Osiris was a wall-watcher (Wallbreaker or Wallfacer?) opposite to Maya...
In game they're wall watchers (and literally about watching the wall, but I would note the time of when it came out, it wouldn't make sense to this community), in book called Wallfacer vs Wallbreaker...
One using imagination, one destroying the imagination....
Radiolaria is definitely like the trisolarans...
They essentially reconstitute a design they inhabit...
"Tri's" would dehydrate and wait out their apocalypse...
Kinda like neomuni too, another wonderful concept...
After each apocalypse or chaos era event, they would "rehydrate" flesh sacks...
I'm sure I made that connection in the past, but I love forgetting stuff easily these days...
Woohoo brain damage...
