==Beyond Dragons== | |||
As the new protagonists awaken from their long sleep, the solar system lays in chaos. | |||
Earth disappeared. And where did all the humans go? | |||
A dangerous space journey begins. It's a fight for survival against one own mind, against friends, against enemies and against space itself. | |||
Eventually they discover creatures. Are those aliens or biological remnants of humans that have passed long time ago? | |||
What will you do to get "home"? How much can you endure? | |||
The group reaches the alleged location of human live. What they find is an hostile society that stigmatizes them as memetic and biological hazard material. | |||
===Uranus=== | |||
This draws on [[#Molecular printing]]. | |||
Actually "earthbound" printing would be much easier, but maybe there are conditions (a gas planet?) that justify airborne printing. At least it would be fun and epic... | |||
In the manga Blame you can see characters pop into existence, somehow simply growing. In Oni, similar can be achieved by molecular printing. A Gaia and Uranus environment isn't absolute necessary but very helpful. At the scene, molecular machines - invisible to the human eye - carry out the construction. Airborne particles have a less density than in liquids or solid aggregates, so in order to speed up the process, strong air streams are forced towards the construction core. The sky will overcloud and even a controlled tornado can emerge. | |||
The heat sources or magnetic fields would determine the motion of the wind. Inverse tornado wouldn't lift the entity to build. | |||
There would be some kind of collector and filter structures attached to the "core". | |||
Electricity can be harnessed from charged clouds, [[wikipedia:Harvesting_lightning_energy#Directed_plasma_channels|with]] or without lightning. Or simply from the ground (Bioc power grid). | |||
===Biology made from condensed matter?=== | |||
Possibilities of synthetic biology can be extended by [[wikipedia:Xeno_nucleic_acid|XNA]], adding new nucleic acids to the "alphabet". | |||
Now, what would happen if you even learn how to use even more [[wikipedia:Table_of_nuclides|isotopes]] and stick only to atoms and molecules that can be condensed? | |||
Pokemon! I always wondered how do these animals fit into such tiny space? Answer: the ball contains pools for fermionic condensates and a memory for the genetic and anatomic blueprints. Of course you need a techno sphere (gaia or whatever) to reach ultra cool temperatures, do fast scans and later on the printing. | |||
This technology is reserved for Beyond Dragons. | |||

temporary redirect [[Restless_Souls/Summary#Biocracy]]? | temporary redirect [[Restless_Souls/Summary#Biocracy]]? | ||
A biocracy can be seen as an expert society or technocracy but it doesn't lacks social demands since every citizen is taken into account. It's by citizens for citizens. | |||
Through the interconnection of minds and help from the Gaia AI, the decision making is also direct democratic. | |||
==Nature's Decision== | |||
Working title. May or may not be the final name. | |||
The outcome of the multi-biocracy experiment is described as "Nature's Decision". | |||
Meanwhile, in the shadow of the old worlds lurks a deadly threat. A Biocracy relict. A rogue memehunter. | |||
| Line 1,802: | Line 1,825: | ||
Memehunters possess the power to alter the mind of other people and execute the will of Biocracies against its own members or those of other societies. To achieve their missions they are given access to GAIA resources, which dramatically boosts their physical and mental abilities. The Bioc grid supports them with just everything and can even backup their personality making them immortal. | Memehunters possess the power to alter the mind of other people and execute the will of Biocracies against its own members or those of other societies.

A matured Biocracy has no use of memehunters since all members live in total sync and will be made aware of any error causing or "false" thoughts. | A matured Biocracy has no use of memehunters since all members live in total sync and will be made aware of any error causing or "false" thoughts. Rogue memehunters are officially to be taken down but this remains a difficult task as they tend to build their own planetary support systems. So the biocracies turn a blind eye against them if they stay in exile. | ||

(A joul is a joul... It's a fundamental physical definition which doesn't change its value over the years. Depending on available technology you can use with more or less efficiency. But it's never "worthless". A chemical reaction always cost the same.) | |||
Every Omega-Chimera can produce energy by photosynthesis or provide its neuronal resources for cloud computing. Thus, each citizen has an small but time-wise infinite income. | Every Omega-Chimera can produce energy by photosynthesis or provide its neuronal resources for cloud computing.

ER credits are seen as an relict of the pre-Bioc era. In the future the concept of currency will fade into Gaia's management software to balance things and have check everything. Communities will then just decide what they want and see if they have resources. If they don't have the resources, Gaia and criticizes develop a plan to collect the missing resources. | ER credits are seen as an relict of the pre-Bioc era.

===Instant energy transport=== | |||
In quantum mechanics they say, when you measure the state one entangled particle you force the corresponding (e.g. spin) state on the other partner particle. Since the distance between these partners don't seem to play any role, couldn't you transport energy from one position to another? Entanglement is very fragile so you need some kind "entanglement regeneration". So far there's only rubbish on the internet concerning "entanglement regeneration" but I believe that one day even that is possible. [...] | |||
Another crazy addition to this is the usage of particles from stars because they constantly change states. Their partners are carried in BECs. (Certain merged fermions (matter particle) behave like bosons.) | |||
For robustness, the entanglement exist between cluster rather than single particle. Yorick switches off Möbius' safty protocol. He scarifies the regeneration for a short, full energy output. | |||
There's story fragment featuring this tech: boss battle of Yorick and Memhunter | |||
===Instant information transport=== | |||
The same technique of instant energy transport can be used to transfer information. | |||
===Hyper AI=== | |||
Hyper AIs differ from super AIs in their sheer computing power. In total their computing devices have the size of an planet or are even bigger. | |||
Like Avatara, also Möbius uses cloud computing to host his main brain and controls a synthetic body in the outside world. | |||
[...] | |||
==Wheels of time== | |||
The universe is the only existing example of a true perpetual motion machine. | |||
"Wheels of time" is a nickname for machines that collect energy from vacuum fluctuation of space. | |||
Think about the universe as a constantly flowing river and the machine is a water mile. | |||
The inventors' motivation was to escape a thermodynamical dead when even the last star has died. If big rips doesn't happen you could go on living - you would have bought time, eternal time. | |||
===Möbius jump=== | |||
A technique invented by hyper AI Möbius. It allows a space traveler to survive the transition between big rip and big bang. | |||
Vital information is with high redundancy encoded in patterns of particle decay and regeneration. This also includes neutrino oscillations. | |||
Möbius theorizes that the unequal distribution of matter and antimatter is a possible evidence that information can be passed through a transition. | |||
===Theory of sum=== | |||
The trivial idea is that you can achieve a specific goal by any combination of virtually infinite fragments. So, an specific order of events is not needed. | |||
[...] | |||
Möbius observes the universe as good as he can and expands and learns with each cosmic cycle. | |||
After myriads of cycles, Möbius is able to recreate Earth in a run that covers itself multiple cycles. | |||
One problem is missing information for a recreation. Möbius can't travel backwards though time but maybe he can read past events. | |||
Even if not, with "logical completion" he can recreate many things by memories. Everything else can be retrieved by trail and error. This resembles the infinite monkey theorem but that's okay because he also has eternal time to work with. | |||
