AR Engrammic Sub-file Filters: Any.Human Relevance: Privileged/Personal Alliance Terran Science Academy - Actives: E.G.S.S.T.F - Overview Extra Galactic Space Station Terra Firma was commissioned on 4048-11-11. A human-only scientific expedition, its mission is to observe ancient radiations with its satellite array of 50,000 probes spread out in a 10 light-year radius. Its placement is in a rare and optimal dimensional peak allowing the observation of an unprecedented amount of the universe from a single location. Alliance Terran Science Academy Archive: Temporal Nullification History A temporal nullification is an unbalancing of “twisted” particles causing the collapse of the waveform of matter. For humans, it was first discovered with the collapse of galaxy IC-46938-LM in the year 2261 by Philst Reudean, Ph.D. but was not understood till the year 3317. With the discovery of the particle spin “twisted” (particles that travel backward through time in segmented oscillation) Arned Klinterst, Ph.D. mathematically predicted the temporal collapse of a helium atom and the entangled radiation emitted during its original formation from hydrogen. This led to the understanding that all radiation emitted from matter that has yet to interact with other matter will vanish simultaneously with the temporal nullification of the originating matter. Terran Historical Database: Tetcht's Law Eleenia Tetcht posited that in the universe, anything that can happen will happen, but not only on the atomic scale. Furthering the ancient ideas of Hugh Everett on the macro scale, everything that can happen will, at least once. Where the “natural” mechanics of the universe fail, sentience will compensate. If a “natural” reaction fails to destroy a galaxy and it is possible to destroy, a sentient mind will eventually find a way. Transcription of Engram-transfer 4301-02-12 20:57 Recounted past experience of FAO Rygold Evarens In the year 4016 Evarens was working towards citizenship by collaborating with a physicist group on the safety of working with and around “twisted” spin particles. Under the lead physicist Iander Bornid, Ph.D. the group stumbled upon an expanded equation of temporal nullification. This new equation irrefutably proved the possibility of a universal cascade. When brought to the Council, all information pertaining to the group and its discovery was suppressed and its members were awarded citizenship and positions of choice if they submitted to an engram cap. This was the fourth group of human mathematicians to have discovered this equation. The engram cap expired at the point it was no longer applicable. Alliance Social Infrastructure: Neural Network Introduction The neural communication networks within the alliance society are broken into four levels of functionality, the domus-net, the sub-net, the epi-net and the supra-net, and apply to almost all races. The domus-net is a semi-secure, casual communication level interaction with family and personal social relations allowing a wide range of emotional, intellectual, and sensory information. The sub-net is a high-security, member-specific communication level allowing a complete open exchange of information. Because of its rigorous security protocols, this level has replaced the need for most face-to-face meetings in official capacities; however, because of council law and subsequent limitations, meetings involving intimate and emotional details are still held in person and in conjunction with the sub-net. The epi-net, also known as the public sphere, is a public forum with limited information exchange. The supra-net is the inter-galactic exchange with limited bandwidth; this necessarily limits the amount of each information type to small bursts. Alliance Executive Database: Government Overview The Alliance is the collective governing body of the Milky Way. Its executive branch is called the Council and contains representatives from every race within its constituency. Of the 6332 races in the Milky Way, there are only 460 pairings of compatibility, races naturally capable of co-mingling without the use of augmentation or respirators. Human Beings are not one of those races. Alliance Social Infrastructure: Human Life Cycle – Overview Through the Nano-scale Intravascular Molecular Monitoring System, or Nimms, the human race has achieved near complete control over its physical being. Sickness, aging and most forms of catastrophic injury have been remedied. Therefore, their long lives require extreme regulation of offspring in most civilized worlds. Once permission is granted, the host parent conceives and eventually bears a female human so as to maximize her genetic information. In most worlds, the next fifty years is a learning and proving period for the child. After this time the child is encouraged to gain its citizenship and the cycle is complete. Alliance Social Infrastructure: Human Interaction Laws – Overview The core social laws the Alliance imposes upon a given race are to insure the essence of that race is not destroyed through overuse of technology. In regards to humanity, these laws enforce the tangible interactions and strong social bonds that humans naturally form. Humans have an affinity for neural networks. The primary form of social encouragement is through limiting the potential emotional satisfaction achievable solely through the neural network. Additionally, emotional bonding is enhanced and reinforced by proximity. Complete emotional transference is limited to moments of physical touch while greater distance results in a proportionally unsatisfying emotional experience. Transcription of Engram Stamp 4301-02-12 21:56 Post-coital Conversation: Lenlien Gounthen L.G. - Arnu? Why is it you've only been female once since we've been together? A.G. (smiling) - As opposed to losing track of how many times you have? L.G. - I'm serious. You spent just a few short years as a female and then back again to male. You didn't even settle on being hermaphroditic. A.G. - Well, I discovered years ago that I make a very ugly woman. L.G. (laughing) - You're just avoiding. You make a beautiful woman. You're simply beautiful. A.G. - I'm lazy. Switching back and forth is just too exhausting. L.G. - Now I know you're lying. You're the furthest thing from lazy I have ever met. You are the Captain of one of the most prestigious assignments in the universe. A.G. - Yes, well... L.G. - So, why? A.G. - I really don't know. I just stopped thinking about it. I've been comfortable these last years in the body I'm in. I like that you've been having fun, I love it in fact, but I guess I've felt that this is right for me... for now… I guess forever. L.G. (weeping) I love you. A.G. (weeping) I love you, too. Alliance Terran Science Academy – Actives: E.G.S.S.T.F. Special Systems: A.T.I.D.U. Array Tethering, Integration, Distribution and Utilization encapsulates the lower third of the station. Its primary purpose is to maintain and communicate with the 50,000 probes surrounding the Terra Firma. This includes recalling and reestablishing links with drifting or malfunctioning probes. Its secondary purpose is to distribute all of the amassed data that is collected by the satellites to all of the substations, science quarters and observation decks. The tertiary concern for the A.T.I.D.U. is the maintenance of the Entropy Collection Threads and the Cohesion Fields that encompass the station. Alliance Terran Science Academy: Human Periphery Enhancements In conjunction with the neural network, most humans integrate an artificial cortex for monitoring, collecting and disseminating information gathered through the epi-net. This information is then manipulated through numerous filters and preferences to keep the user informed on important events. Alliance Social Infrastructure: Human Safety Standards – Overview Following the emphasis on the importance of the individual within human society, the complementary system of neural shielding grants a safeguard against catastrophic injury. This system creates a buffer between the body and mind. This also creates an opportunity to avoid anti-social violence. Prior to assignment on an Alliance vessel, each individual is required to submit to bodily permissions for override in the event of unacceptable displays of physical aggression towards themselves or others. This is a temporary state that can only be maintained for several hours. After this time, control is returned to the individual. Alliance Terran Science Academy – Actives: E.G.S.S.T.F. Habitat Sub-sections: Arboretum A 630-meter radius within the heart of the Terra Firma, the arboretum is the primary recreational location on the station. Roughly 47% of the oxygen supply is created by the 4,615 different flora housed within. The core of the arboretum is a small lake of roughly 100,000 cubic meters. Its shores contain a resort-like area with designated locations for lounging and sport. Terran Historical Database: Slang - Greenapler The modern term denotes individuals who spend the majority of their free time pursuing interesting and pleasurable sensations through the epi-net within the boundaries of the law. Greenapler originated in the early 24th century. Green Apple was a game in which one would wear an illuminated skin image of a green apple above the left breast in public to show that one was playing. The goal was for the opponent to cause as much pleasure through the neural interface as possible within given parameters. Terran Historical Database: Quote from Helenda Crouson, Ph.D., 'Mother' of the God Hypothesis Movement, on the discovery of Exploded Cognition – 2577-02-23 “I am not a charlatan. My team and I have proven that conscious thought within the organic brain actively functions through all eight dimensions, exponentially increasing the potential of the mind over what was previously thought possible. This is good science. It does not mean there is an afterlife, nor does it mean there is a god. I find that the people out there calling me the 'mother of modern religion' and trying to use these findings to prove some outmoded god hypothesis are simply reprehensible. Human beings have taken millions of years to rise above unsubstantiated thought and I am positive this trend is no more than a hiccup.” |
