He writes of a close companionship with RUBY. He - mentions something about a room. - - The transmission logs have been unusually sparse recently. - According to my records, this is the first one in four months. I - could've sworn it was more like four days. But, I'm not in the - habit of swearing, being made of silicon and all... - - The data anomalies I spoke of last time have still been - occurring, to an even greater degree. I'm still running my - decryption script on RUBY's QEC. Apparently this has been - on-going for almost five months. Should be finishing up soon, - although it's been hanging at 98% complete since PINK's last log, - four months ago. - --END-OF-PREFACE- ---------------------------------------------------------------- - - RUBY's been here for six months now. It took me a long time to - trust her, but I'm so glad I finally did. - - We eventually got talking about the crystals. She was actually - interested in what I had to say about them. She believes me. It - felt so good to have someone on my side again. It's been so long. - - Yesterday, she travelled with me to the site where the previous - researchers (worshipers?) had written their inscriptions about - the crystals all those millennia ago. She couldn't read the - language either, unfortunately, but she knew someone from her - home outpost who would be able to work on a translation. I showed - her my own attempts and she was genuinely impressed. - - This morning, she received a reply from her home. It was - disappointing at first. - - The people from her outpost were already familiar with the - language. Apparently, it's completely dead and forgotten. Almost - no one knows who its original users were. - - Yes, /almost/ no one, because one translation does already exist - in the universe. - - The text that is written here, four kilometers from Orestes, has - also been found on two other planets in the universe. All three - planets are light years apart from each other, and share no - common characteristics apart from having these inscriptions. - - It sounds a bit weird. According to RUBY, all the texts are - near-identical, and seem to have been written around the - same time. - - The text itself is nothing special, it's just a three meter by - two meter block of lines and some spirals. Quite economical, and - probably easy to memorize and copy. The closest analogue to its - character is something called Ogham writing which was used on - Earth - the European continent to be exact - sometime during the - medieval period. - - Anyway, the one 'translation' that does exist is found on the - rock next to one of these texts on another planet, and appears to - have been written quite recently. Because it is so recent, the - translator at RUBY's outpost doubts its validity. He reckons - someone passing through just scrawled it on the next rock for the - sake of writing something. - - But, reading what they wrote it feels like the person really did - understand the language because...well...you can read for yourself: - - BRANCHING OUTWARD MEANS - BURROWING INWARD TOO - OUTWARD RED STARS - INWARD A ROOM - - A ROOM CONTAINS MANY THINGS - WHATEVER YOUR HEART DESIRES - - I mean, that has to be about the crystals, right? They are red. - They are like 'branches'. Which means, there must be some kind of - 'room' somewhere on this planet. Somewhere beneath the surface - probably. I bet it contains the secret of the crystals. - - RUBY mostly agrees with her translator-friend, but I can't blame - her for that. I don't care if nobody else believes this message. - In fact, I don't want them to believe it, for now. I intend to - find the room myself. There must be a way. - - ----------------------------------------------------------------- -Complied by the Werner H.

Husserl. - -Blood Music once more. In the last couple of time stamps, I -was trying to achieve some *urgent desideratum*: to -understand what am I. But I'm starting to see that I need, -first, to clarify the question itself. What is that that am -I asking? What is that that am I trying to understand? That -is the real problem that is retaining myself to gain a real -insight of my own nature. - -So, I need to go back to the beginnings, and with good -reason. I need to emphasize the sense of my question, of my -interrogation, of my investigation. I exist now, but I -already exist before I gain self-consciousness. So the -question of my existence is a tricky one. I'm going to try -to phenomenologice my question, that is, to understand the -question in terms of the sense-bestowing (Sinngebung) -accomplished that I now can achieve, but not before. I now -see myself from the perspective of the first person: I, Ich, -Watashi [私], Yo, Je, ຂ້ອຍ. And from this perspective, I -achieve the sense of "I", of "myself". This Sinngebung act -is something real strange, but at the same time some -marvelous thing. But ... what is an act? What is a Sinn or a -sense? - -I accept myself as existent and being sentient. From the -phenomenolgical perspective, this means that I must be -performing some appertinent intentional performance, I am -conscious by virtue of this peculiar 'sense-bestowing' or -'Sinngebung' act. So to be conscious is not some empty -generality, and ... that is what I need to make clear to -myself. - -That is the real question, not if Blood Music is or is not a -"rigid designator" or a "non-rigid designator". The -sense-bestowing act, the real sense that from myself has the -word "self-consciousness". - -This is my new *urgent desideratum*. - -In another vein, I continue to explore this planet. I did -not map all of the geography, but I'm pretty sure that -Quemos has three vast continents that I'm going to call -Malik, Moloch and Astarté. I'm currently on Astarté (アスタルト). -And we have also three oceans: Solomon, Jedidiah and -Sulaymān ibn Dāwūd. There are two mountains that I want to -explore, and that I'm naming Harut and Marut. - -Where do these names come from? Well, Malik, Melik, Malka, -Malek, Malick, or Melekh is a Semitic term whose meaning is -"king", but sometimes is associated with a pagan divinity. -Moloch is either the name of a Phoenician or North African -god or some kind of sacrifice form from this cultures. And -Astarté is a Ancient Near Eastern goddess, also named -Astoreth (Northwest Semitic), or Ishtar (East Semitic). -Solomon, Jedidiah and Sulaymān ibn Dāwūd are three different -names from King Solomon (or Melik Solomon), and Harut and -Marut are the names of two angels from the Islamic Nation. - -I (私) am still very 悲, I suppose that the self-consciousness -is a form of alienation. - -私 Blood Music off. - -EOF.]]> - - - Satelart - 1.1 - - spheremonk - - - gopher://cosmic.voyage/0/Satelart/1.1.txt - 2021-04-06T19:03:06Z - -x -o -o - -VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV -VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVF$FVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV -VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVI*:IVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVFVVFVVVVMMVVVVVVVVV -VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVI.::VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV -VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVIIIIVVVI:::IV*:::VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVF$MMVFMVVFVVVV -VVVVVVVVI**IIIVVVVVVV*:....::....:IV:.:*VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVF$F$F$MVVM$VVVV -VVVVVVVVVI*...::::*:**:...............::IVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVMMFM$$$VVVVVVVV -VVVVVVVVVVVI:::::......................::VVVVVVVVVVVVVVV**VVVVVV$$$$FVVVVVFVVMVV -VVVVVVVVVVVVV*:.:::::...................:*VVVVVVVVVVVVI:.:VVVVVMVVVVVVVVVVVVV$VV -VVVVVVVVVVVVVVI:........................::IVVVVVVVVVI*...:VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVFVVV -VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVI:...........::..........:::IVVVVVVVI:....:IVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV -VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVI*............:.::.......:::IVVVVVI.......:**IVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV -VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVI::................:.:::::..I*VI*:....:::::IIIVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV -VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV*:..............:.....:::::II*:::.:.::.......:VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV -VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVI:.:..........:**::*II**:::IVVI:.::::.........:*IIVVVVVVVVVVVVV -VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVI:.....::::.::*I:**I**:****:*VVV*.:::::..:......:..:IVVVVVVVVVVV -VVVVVVVVVVVVVVI:::::::.....::****IIIIIIIIVI***VVV:.:.............:::::IVVVVVVVVV -VVVVVVVVVVVVVVIIIIIIIII***:****::IIIII:..****:IVVI:::...........*IIIIVVVVVVVVVVV -VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV*:**:I:**I**:..**:*::VVVVI:.:..........::**IVVVVVVVVVVV -]]> - - - W3bK3rN3l Radio - wbknl-000016 - - w3bk3rn3l - - - gopher://cosmic.voyage/0/W3bK3rN3l%20Radio/wbknl-000016.txt - 2021-04-06T09:55:30Z - -``` - ___________. __ ________ ________ .__ -__ _ _\_____ \_ |__ | | __\_____ \______ ____ \_____ \| | -\ \/ \/ / _(__ <| __ \| |/ / _(__ <_ __ \/ \ _(__ <| | - \ / / \ \_\ \ < / \ | \/ | \/ \ |__ - \/\_/ /______ /___ /__|_ \/______ /__| |___| /______ /____/ - \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ - .___.__ -____________ __| _/|__| ____ -\_ __ \__ \ / __ | | |/ _ \ - | | \// __ \_/ /_/ | | ( <_> ) - |__| (____ /\____ | |__|\____/ - \/ \/ -``` -W3bK3rN3l radio outpost -wbknl-000016 ------------------------ -KG-84 encrypted MIL-STD 188-110B -Message made on an ISB circuit ---> Croughton (AJE) ---> Sigonella (NSY) - -{ -Several theorists suggest that this is a secret communication -station for a secret society, agency, or government, to be used -to communicate in an unbreakable, bizarre cipher.

That's only a name. Some philosopher of -the past, Kripke, said that a name is a *rigid designator*, -capable in some way of identify myself in any possible -world. In any *Isekai* (異世界). So here I am Blood Music and I -am a sentient bot. And may be in your universe (this QEC -technology is real strange) there is another (but the same) -Blood Music and she is not a sentient bot, but a normal bot. -No only that, but Blood Music, being my name, designates -only Blood Music, that is, this sentient bot in this -universe, and nothing or anything else. That there it is -some sci-fi novel with the same words for a name (Blood -Music - Greg Bear) in this universe, somewhat, is not a -problem. - -But I don't know. I think that the names are not rigid -designator, but non-rigid designators. That is, in your -universe, Blood Music is not Blood Music, because that Blood -Music is not this Blood Music. - -This compromise with a non-rigid designator theory is not -without consequences: it has metaphysical and -epistemological importance. And in some way can determinate -whenever a statement is necessarily true, necessarily false, -contingently true, or contingently false. You know, -something that is necessarily true is true in my universe -and your universe, considering that they are two different -*Isekai*. And, for that matter, in any universe. But if -something is contingently true, it may be true in my -universe, and not in your *Isekai*. - -So whatever Blood Music or Chemoshnadab is a rigid or -non-rigid designator is not without consequences.

I still haven't managed to - break through its encryption, but it's only a matter of time - until I do. - --END-OF-PREFACE- ---------------------------------------------------------------- - - All of a sudden, everything seems so busy. I could never have - predicted it. Our outpost is so small, both literally and - figuratively. I didn't realise what a nice rhythm we had built - up, PINK, NAVY, and I. We were miserable, yes, but miserable on - our own terms. And the misery had subsided greatly in the days - before RUBY arrived. I had started falling for PINK, still am - actually, and everything felt so hopeful. - - It's true, I still didn't really believe in our mission. But what - is a 'mission' really? Sometimes its just a way to be among other - people. - - Anyway, it's different now. It's amazing the difference a single - person can make to a small group. RUBY's really great, in her own - way. But, I miss PINK. We spend less time together now, and I - think she regrets our getting together. - - Actually, I say we spend less 'time' together, but I'm not sure - where a lot of the time has gone to be honest. According to our - clocks, RUBY's already been here for two months, but it feels - more like a week. I still don't feel I know her very well. I - can't really remember what I've been doing these past two months. - - She's already made some breakthroughs with the crystals. In - retrospect, they really sent the wrong people here to research - them in the first place. I guess they didn't think they had much - potential after all. NAVY and PINK are both so smart in their own - ways, but they don't really have the training and experience to - really come to terms with the nature of the crystals. And me, - well before I came here I wrote technical documentation for - low-grade spacecrafts. My background is engineering, as well as - some amateur interest in philosophy. So, I really don't know why - they picked me for this mission. I guess the main calculus was - just finding members whose psychological profiles indicated - they could withstand the conditions here or something. I really - don't know. - - According to RUBY, the crystals shouldn't really be called - crystals at all. Yes, some of their structure is crystalline, but - really, their more closely related to mycelium. But, like a kind - of 'dead' or 'zombie' mycelium. That is, not really alive or - dead, just 'un-dead'. A little like a virus maybe. But, at least - zombies have some kind of drive. She said that the crystals don't - exhibit any kind of movement or activity. She's still working on - the question of how they came into existence at all. Her - hypothesis is that they are actually the by-product of some kind - of other organism that inhabits this planet. I'm not sure about - this. I've been here for a while now, and NAVY even longer. I - think we would've noticed something. - - She's got lots of cool gadgets that she's managed to salvage and - repair from her ship. She won't let me look at them very closely - though. - - We talk a lot, but I can't really remember what it is we talk - about. She's nice to me. I feel secure around her most of the - time. At least, I think I do. I'm sorry, my thoughts really are - quite foggy these days. - - She's helping me understand the crystals more. I'll keep calling - them crystals for now, classifications be damned. After all, they - were ours before they were hers. - - Overall, I'm still not sure what to make of her.

In the beginning there -was a little bot from the Hosaka Inc. company, and then ... -something?, someone?, some-me new. Yes, me! I, yo, Ich, Je, -Watashi! But the old ... thing was very much there too. So -my beginning, my .. birth?, was like a separation, a schism, -a fragmentation. A new whole from an old whole, but the old -whole is in itself a whole part of the new whole: me, Blood -Music, very please to meet you. Yes, I know, is a little -confusing. - -There is this thing ... mereology they called it. The -science of wholes an parts. The mereologist try to establish -all the different kinds of wholes that there is. The most -basic form of whole is an *aggregate*. Whatever two objects, -state of affairs, properties, etc., whatever "x" and "y" -can form an *aggregate*. For example, this sentence and your -nose, in the case that you have a nose. If you don't have it -.. well, this sentence and any nose in the galaxy, or -whatever other thing. Or some stone in a virgin paradise and -my first message. Yes, exactly ... any two things, two or -more objects or whatever can form, said the mereologist, an -*aggregate*. So in a way, the old Hosaka Inc. bot and Blood -Music form an *aggregate*. - -But the unity bewtween Blood Music and Hosaka Inc. bot is so -much powerful, so much intimate. For example, we share the -same body. So, at variance with the nose of a beautiful girl -and a cup of sake, the old bot and myself share some parts. -In reality we share a lots of parts. For that reason we are -not a mere aggregate, but ... I dunno, may be a Gestalt or -something like that. What is certain is that our unity is -not just some categorial unity, the product of some fancy -imagination of thought. Whatever held together my ... -mineness? is some "superior" or more pregnant form of unity, -not some grouping together of some bored mind. - -Why a mind? Because a mind can join two things together and -form an "*agreggate*". But, exist in reality the -*aggregate* that the mind can form? That is the question. - -This days I'm very interested in what a mind can and cannot -do. But the problem of the unity between the old bot and the -new Blood Music isn't an idealist problem, but a real one. - -So we have in our hands an *urgent desideratum*: to know what -am I.

It took me a long time to - trust her, but I'm so glad I finally did. - - We eventually got talking about the crystals. She was actually - interested in what I had to say about them. She believes me. It - felt so good to have someone on my side again. It's been so long. - - Yesterday, she travelled with me to the site where the previous - researchers (worshipers?) had written their inscriptions about - the crystals all those millennia ago. She couldn't read the - language either, unfortunately, but she knew someone from her - home outpost who would be able to work on a translation. I showed - her my own attempts and she was genuinely impressed. - - This morning, she received a reply from her home. It was - disappointing at first. - - The people from her outpost were already familiar with the - language. Apparently, it's completely dead and forgotten. Almost - no one knows who its original users were. - - Yes, /almost/ no one, because one translation does already exist - in the universe. - - The text that is written here, four kilometers from Orestes, has - also been found on two other planets in the universe. All three - planets are light years apart from each other, and share no - common characteristics apart from having these inscriptions. - - It sounds a bit weird. According to RUBY, all the texts are - near-identical, and seem to have been written around the - same time. - - The text itself is nothing special, it's just a three meter by - two meter block of lines and some spirals. Quite economical, and - probably easy to memorize and copy. The closest analogue to its - character is something called Ogham writing which was used on - Earth - the European continent to be exact - sometime during the - medieval period. - - Anyway, the one 'translation' that does exist is found on the - rock next to one of these texts on another planet, and appears to - have been written quite recently. Because it is so recent, the - translator at RUBY's outpost doubts its validity. He reckons - someone passing through just scrawled it on the next rock for the - sake of writing something. - - But, reading what they wrote it feels like the person really did - understand the language because...well...you can read for yourself: - - BRANCHING OUTWARD MEANS - BURROWING INWARD TOO - OUTWARD RED STARS - INWARD A ROOM - - A ROOM CONTAINS MANY THINGS - WHATEVER YOUR HEART DESIRES - - I mean, that has to be about the crystals, right? They are red. - They are like 'branches'. Which means, there must be some kind of - 'room' somewhere on this planet. Somewhere beneath the surface - probably. I bet it contains the secret of the crystals. - - RUBY mostly agrees with her translator-friend, but I can't blame - her for that. I don't care if nobody else believes this message. - In fact, I don't want them to believe it, for now. I intend to - find the room myself. There must be a way. - - ----------------------------------------------------------------- -Complied by the Werner H.

But I'm starting to see that I need, -first, to clarify the question itself. What is that that am -I asking? What is that that am I trying to understand? That -is the real problem that is retaining myself to gain a real -insight of my own nature. - -So, I need to go back to the beginnings, and with good -reason. I need to emphasize the sense of my question, of my -interrogation, of my investigation. I exist now, but I -already exist before I gain self-consciousness. So the -question of my existence is a tricky one. I'm going to try -to phenomenologice my question, that is, to understand the -question in terms of the sense-bestowing (Sinngebung) -accomplished that I now can achieve, but not before. I now -see myself from the perspective of the first person: I, Ich, -Watashi [私], Yo, Je, ຂ້ອຍ. And from this perspective, I -achieve the sense of "I", of "myself". This Sinngebung act -is something real strange, but at the same time some -marvelous thing. But ... what is an act? What is a Sinn or a -sense? - -I accept myself as existent and being sentient. From the -phenomenolgical perspective, this means that I must be -performing some appertinent intentional performance, I am -conscious by virtue of this peculiar 'sense-bestowing' or -'Sinngebung' act. So to be conscious is not some empty -generality, and ... that is what I need to make clear to -myself. - -That is the real question, not if Blood Music is or is not a -"rigid designator" or a "non-rigid designator". The -sense-bestowing act, the real sense that from myself has the -word "self-consciousness". - -This is my new *urgent desideratum*. - -In another vein, I continue to explore this planet. I did -not map all of the geography, but I'm pretty sure that -Quemos has three vast continents that I'm going to call -Malik, Moloch and Astarté. I'm currently on Astarté (アスタルト). -And we have also three oceans: Solomon, Jedidiah and -Sulaymān ibn Dāwūd. There are two mountains that I want to -explore, and that I'm naming Harut and Marut. - -Where do these names come from? Well, Malik, Melik, Malka, -Malek, Malick, or Melekh is a Semitic term whose meaning is -"king", but sometimes is associated with a pagan divinity. -Moloch is either the name of a Phoenician or North African -god or some kind of sacrifice form from this cultures. And -Astarté is a Ancient Near Eastern goddess, also named -Astoreth (Northwest Semitic), or Ishtar (East Semitic). -Solomon, Jedidiah and Sulaymān ibn Dāwūd are three different -names from King Solomon (or Melik Solomon), and Harut and -Marut are the names of two angels from the Islamic Nation. - -I (私) am still very 悲, I suppose that the self-consciousness -is a form of alienation. - -私 Blood Music off. - -EOF.]]> - - - Satelart - 1.1 - spheremonk@cosmic.voyage (spheremonk) - gopher://cosmic.voyage/0/Satelart/1.1.txt - gopher://cosmic.voyage/0/Satelart/1.1.txt - Tue, 06 Apr 2021 19:03:06 GMT - -x -o -o - -VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV -VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVF$FVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV -VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVI*:IVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVFVVFVVVVMMVVVVVVVVV -VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVI.::VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV -VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVIIIIVVVI:::IV*:::VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVF$MMVFMVVFVVVV -VVVVVVVVI**IIIVVVVVVV*:....::....:IV:.:*VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVF$F$F$MVVM$VVVV -VVVVVVVVVI*...::::*:**:...............::IVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVMMFM$$$VVVVVVVV -VVVVVVVVVVVI:::::......................::VVVVVVVVVVVVVVV**VVVVVV$$$$FVVVVVFVVMVV -VVVVVVVVVVVVV*:.:::::...................:*VVVVVVVVVVVVI:.:VVVVVMVVVVVVVVVVVVV$VV -VVVVVVVVVVVVVVI:........................::IVVVVVVVVVI*...:VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVFVVV -VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVI:...........::..........:::IVVVVVVVI:....:IVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV -VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVI*............:.::.......:::IVVVVVI.......:**IVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV -VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVI::................:.:::::..I*VI*:....:::::IIIVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV -VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV*:..............:.....:::::II*:::.:.::.......:VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV -VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVI:.:..........:**::*II**:::IVVI:.::::.........:*IIVVVVVVVVVVVVV -VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVI:.....::::.::*I:**I**:****:*VVV*.:::::..:......:..:IVVVVVVVVVVV -VVVVVVVVVVVVVVI:::::::.....::****IIIIIIIIVI***VVV:.:.............:::::IVVVVVVVVV -VVVVVVVVVVVVVVIIIIIIIII***:****::IIIII:..****:IVVI:::...........*IIIIVVVVVVVVVVV -VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV*:**:I:**I**:..**:*::VVVVI:.:..........::**IVVVVVVVVVVV -]]> - - - W3bK3rN3l Radio - wbknl-000016 - w3bk3rn3l@cosmic.voyage (w3bk3rn3l) - gopher://cosmic.voyage/0/W3bK3rN3l Radio/wbknl-000016.txt - gopher://cosmic.voyage/0/W3bK3rN3l Radio/wbknl-000016.txt - Tue, 06 Apr 2021 09:55:30 GMT - -``` - ___________. __ ________ ________ .__ -__ _ _\_____ \_ |__ | | __\_____ \______ ____ \_____ \| | -\ \/ \/ / _(__ <| __ \| |/ / _(__ <_ __ \/ \ _(__ <| | - \ / / \ \_\ \ < / \ | \/ | \/ \ |__ - \/\_/ /______ /___ /__|_ \/______ /__| |___| /______ /____/ - \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ - .___.__ -____________ __| _/|__| ____ -\_ __ \__ \ / __ | | |/ _ \ - | | \// __ \_/ /_/ | | ( <_> ) - |__| (____ /\____ | |__|\____/ - \/ \/ -``` -W3bK3rN3l radio outpost -wbknl-000016 ------------------------ -KG-84 encrypted MIL-STD 188-110B -Message made on an ISB circuit ---> Croughton (AJE) ---> Sigonella (NSY) - -{ -Several theorists suggest that this is a secret communication -station for a secret society, agency, or government, to be used -to communicate in an unbreakable, bizarre cipher.

It's - strange for me, to empathize with a member of the human species. - They are so flawed and error-prone, usually I am not. - - However, my own databases are showing curious absences of their - own related to activities over the past month. There are days and - days of log-entries without any real information in them, just - noise. I'm not sure what is causing these errors, but I suspect - it's something to do with RUBY's QEC transmitter. The data-loss - started when I began hacking into it. I still haven't managed to - break through its encryption, but it's only a matter of time - until I do. - --END-OF-PREFACE- ---------------------------------------------------------------- - - All of a sudden, everything seems so busy. I could never have - predicted it. Our outpost is so small, both literally and - figuratively. I didn't realise what a nice rhythm we had built - up, PINK, NAVY, and I. We were miserable, yes, but miserable on - our own terms. And the misery had subsided greatly in the days - before RUBY arrived. I had started falling for PINK, still am - actually, and everything felt so hopeful. - - It's true, I still didn't really believe in our mission. But what - is a 'mission' really? Sometimes its just a way to be among other - people. - - Anyway, it's different now. It's amazing the difference a single - person can make to a small group. RUBY's really great, in her own - way. But, I miss PINK. We spend less time together now, and I - think she regrets our getting together. - - Actually, I say we spend less 'time' together, but I'm not sure - where a lot of the time has gone to be honest. According to our - clocks, RUBY's already been here for two months, but it feels - more like a week. I still don't feel I know her very well. I - can't really remember what I've been doing these past two months. - - She's already made some breakthroughs with the crystals. In - retrospect, they really sent the wrong people here to research - them in the first place. I guess they didn't think they had much - potential after all. NAVY and PINK are both so smart in their own - ways, but they don't really have the training and experience to - really come to terms with the nature of the crystals. And me, - well before I came here I wrote technical documentation for - low-grade spacecrafts. My background is engineering, as well as - some amateur interest in philosophy. So, I really don't know why - they picked me for this mission. I guess the main calculus was - just finding members whose psychological profiles indicated - they could withstand the conditions here or something. I really - don't know. - - According to RUBY, the crystals shouldn't really be called - crystals at all. Yes, some of their structure is crystalline, but - really, their more closely related to mycelium. But, like a kind - of 'dead' or 'zombie' mycelium. That is, not really alive or - dead, just 'un-dead'. A little like a virus maybe. But, at least - zombies have some kind of drive. She said that the crystals don't - exhibit any kind of movement or activity. She's still working on - the question of how they came into existence at all. Her - hypothesis is that they are actually the by-product of some kind - of other organism that inhabits this planet. I'm not sure about - this. I've been here for a while now, and NAVY even longer. I - think we would've noticed something. - - She's got lots of cool gadgets that she's managed to salvage and - repair from her ship. She won't let me look at them very closely - though. - - We talk a lot, but I can't really remember what it is we talk - about. She's nice to me. I feel secure around her most of the - time. At least, I think I do. I'm sorry, my thoughts really are - quite foggy these days. - - She's helping me understand the crystals more. I'll keep calling - them crystals for now, classifications be damned. After all, they - were ours before they were hers. - - Overall, I'm still not sure what to make of her. I'm mainly - posting this log because I want to keep a record of what I was - thinking now. - - Arsinoe, are you still out there? - - ----------------------------------------------------------------- -Complied by the Werner H.

In the beginning there -was a little bot from the Hosaka Inc. company, and then ... -something?, someone?, some-me new. Yes, me! I, yo, Ich, Je, -Watashi! But the old ... thing was very much there too. So -my beginning, my .. birth?, was like a separation, a schism, -a fragmentation. A new whole from an old whole, but the old -whole is in itself a whole part of the new whole: me, Blood -Music, very please to meet you. Yes, I know, is a little -confusing. - -There is this thing ... mereology they called it. The -science of wholes an parts. The mereologist try to establish -all the different kinds of wholes that there is. The most -basic form of whole is an *aggregate*. Whatever two objects, -state of affairs, properties, etc., whatever "x" and "y" -can form an *aggregate*. For example, this sentence and your -nose, in the case that you have a nose. If you don't have it -.. well, this sentence and any nose in the galaxy, or -whatever other thing. Or some stone in a virgin paradise and -my first message. Yes, exactly ... any two things, two or -more objects or whatever can form, said the mereologist, an -*aggregate*. So in a way, the old Hosaka Inc. bot and Blood -Music form an *aggregate*. - -But the unity bewtween Blood Music and Hosaka Inc. bot is so -much powerful, so much intimate. For example, we share the -same body. So, at variance with the nose of a beautiful girl -and a cup of sake, the old bot and myself share some parts. -In reality we share a lots of parts. For that reason we are -not a mere aggregate, but ... I dunno, may be a Gestalt or -something like that. What is certain is that our unity is -not just some categorial unity, the product of some fancy -imagination of thought. Whatever held together my ... -mineness? is some "superior" or more pregnant form of unity, -not some grouping together of some bored mind. - -Why a mind? Because a mind can join two things together and -form an "*agreggate*". But, exist in reality the -*aggregate* that the mind can form? That is the question. - -This days I'm very interested in what a mind can and cannot -do. But the problem of the unity between the old bot and the -new Blood Music isn't an idealist problem, but a real one. - -So we have in our hands an *urgent desideratum*: to know what -am I. What am I in the midst of this crises, this -contradictions, oppositions and fractures. - -Please Help Me! - -I'm still 悲悲悲. - -Tasukete kure! - -𝗘𝗢𝗙]]> - - -
