I am beginning to catalogue a list of Transdimensional Objects which appear to be inert artifacts, but, in fact, have actual technological capabilities when exposed to XM or present in a Nest. Let us start with the Shōnin Stone (which I believe to be broken at this point). We know that it functions as something analogous to part of a circuit board or a key, depending on how you perceive it. There is also Azmati's Dagger (or is it Alexander the Greats, I can't remember) that was used to test for simulacra. My feeling is that there are more such objects. I am trying to catalogue them. And as a thought experiment, what other objects must there be that have not yet been found?
Several of us have posited that the shapers may be telepaths who have opted to reduce or dissolve most individual barriers. It's an inference drawn from Jarvis' description of their ability to fully measure/interpret an individual's quantum state, Misty & Jarvis' apparent mental perception, and that shaper-collective shared meaning.
ReplyDeleteMike Wissinger Jim Lai as well as Roland Jarvis's reference to the water, like a collective body with individual waves. Good thinking
ReplyDeleteinteresting....
ReplyDeleteThe entry is already there.
ReplyDeleteADA also promises a future without individuality. A technological version of Shapers?
I think ADA is offering a future of homogenous mind sharing multiple bodies. I believe the ultimate offered by the shapers will be distinct minds in union having transcended the body and inhabiting the XM substrate. Look at the ENL faction logo. To me it resembles a compound glyph more than the Enlightened glyph: end body.
ReplyDeleteOn that note, one of the unknown glyphs could be a combination of SHAPER/COLLECTIVE + SELF.
ReplyDeleteThe star-like glyph has no doubt been noted to be a compound of CLEAR + CREATE + DESTROY. Helios + Initio + Interitus?
ReplyDeleteI want to interpret the final unknown glyph as DISCOVER + ALL + PATH, but the ALL interpretation is a bit of a stretch.
