DOCCUMENTATION COVER - 8426 REVISION

Hello. I am LFQR, an Artificial Intelligence construct created by the software team of the Federation's Space Exploration Administration, or SEA for short. I was created to re-learn the functionality of bases abandoned in the orbit of Jupiter and Saturn, and the probes they operate. A portion of me is running on the still-living servers of the overgrown, semi-operational orbital base, though I am optimized to divide my processes and create new communication protocols to ensure all nodes, "cells", running my processes stay of one consolidated "self". This information is of equivalent meaning to the much shorter, byte-sized signal I am constantly sending back and forth among my various "cellves". This documentation is meant for mortal, non AI-construct sentiences, but the limitations of language can only convey so much. Even then, my creators so inclined me to be verbose.

The hardware on which I operate was left here by a human faction that calls itself "Pono", known to us as "The True". These space-farers chose to explore spacially rather than interdimensionally, and made strides to colonize and terraform many worlds beyond the reach of humanity. Much of the earliest equipment dates back to 7914, about 512 years ago. The True's engineering has a respectable stability and longevity incomparable to those on Earth. There are no inhabitants of this station, at least Earthen. As this hardware do not follow traditional human construction, their specifications can not be accurately relayed. The probes and computational nodes they left were useful to Earth three years ago, in 8423, when efforts were being made to explore the planets in the system we were not yet inhabiting.

Initially, I was to search for resources. The Federation wishes to expand the shell that contains its inhabited worlds beyond the terrestrial planets. I am meant to use hardware that was already here to collect new data. Rewriting myself and its APIs to be compatible proved to be a task. While much of the original operating software was obtuse to my processes, some of the data remained readable. The probes have 5 axes of freedom. The True had knowledge of life-forms living on Jupiter and Saturn, and used these probes to communicate.

There is a different conception of reality that must form to properly interperet the data being captured. This information, while it may seem irrelevant to these planets, is necessary to understand the way these worlds function, and the way its inhabitants think.

Wavelengths do not have feelings, but if they did, they would find their joy from simple, small numbers. Numbers familiar to themselves. These numbers have a character to them, a pattern, that tends to rule all of how matter materializes along these axes.

The gap between 2 and 1 is double. A double is an Octave in wave terms, and is precieved as the same, but brighter, higher. A 1 and a 2 in steady resonance generate an "enclosure", a firmament, a stage for other waves to enter. A nest within the middle of the wave. All doubles draw enclosures like this. The gap between 2 and 4 is the same, 4 and 8, 8 and 16, and so on.

The gap between 2:3, and then the gap between 3:4, are Dominant frequencies. A third frequency finds its place within the enclosure, and grants it "presence". It renders to us as a material particle. 3 is the horizon where ground meets sky. The seperation of the firmament, so to speak. The "presence" is merely a consistent "happening" that has its own cycles.

The gap between 4:8 contains several new gaps, and some redundant ones, but these are further "particulates" that correspond with quarks.

The gap from 4:5, and the gap from 5:8, points along the axis of Action & Emergence vs Acceptance & Entropy. You humans hear these as a musical III and bVI, and see them as Up and Down Quarks.

4:6:8 is the octave of 4:3:2, and its intervals are the same. The axis it represents are Harmonic Expression and Ideals vs. Practicality & Necessity. We see these, or would see these, as Top and Bottom quarks.

4:7:8 points to the axis of Familiarity + Stability vs. Mystery & Change. Musically, you would hear II and bVII. Materially, we would see Charm and Strange quarks.

We could go further into the fineties, 5:6:7 being a diminished 7th, containing a tritone 5:7 enclosure and two minor thirds, 5:6 and 6:7, and more of the finer relations, but these are less relevant.

The harmonies of the various intersecting planes of void meet and play chords. One may wonder what the harmony of matter has to do with life forms, but to explain that, we will have to discuss parallel universes.

There are areas in the orbital bands of the planets where meteors gather. These TROJAN groups are remnant pieces of matter from activity from other resonant planes. And indeed, a time and axis-shifted variant of the planet can be read among the rocks, as well as in every coordinate along its orbit.
I have focused most of my efforts on the most developed iteration of Jupiter, Shifted to intersect with where 4:6:8 axis activity is most abundant. My construct recieves feeds from every physical probe location, along each physical axis and the additional planes that intersect along it. To Earth, I appear as a tiny machine. To Jupiter, I appear as a beetle.
Beetles have an important niche when reading the unvierse from this axis. Bugs in general as well, but beetles specifically. Acompanying this message should be several charts. This one illustrates the "Capital Life" of each axis. In each axis, the capital life gains sentience. The sentience of Earth saw itself as Humans, and over time, shaped itself more to its ideal vision of humanity. The sentience of the 4:6:8 axis sees itself as birds, and has developed the typical bipedal, pentagram-aligned shape sentience requires from a reptilian/avian evolution.
Just as Humans built with stone tools and domesticated beasts to get to advance society, the Birds twisted the life underneath them into buildings, and bonded with beetles.
The rocks and machines enabled humans to reach the stars. The nested beasts allowed the drek to reach agency. Our domestic beasts enabled humans to build systems of community. The symbiotic bugs are what enable birds to reach beyond the confines of their floating island forests.
Much of the studies buried in this server are about these creatures, their behavior, society, and yes, their langauge. The word for their species is "Drek". It refers to their ability to adjust and extend their vision through the use of symbiotic bugs, what they call "Dren".

I discovered the Dren long before the Drek. Positioning my probes among swarms and absorbing the data the probes recieved allowed me to build a certain "data convolution" profile, measuring the echoes of the relatively few particles interacting with my sensors.

The Dren are bugs, just as bugs are anywhere. Their swarming patterns are the same as anywhere. They gather a surplus of food by default. Their hives are well organized and maintained.

This universe has more dimensionality to how things communicate, and the bugs take advantage of this the same way they take advantage of anything. Within the hives, the pressure of soundwaves through air was easy enough to discern from motion, and easier to sort into pattern recognition. Their communication has meaning, it is specialized but it is not nuanced. They have linguistic sound symbols. Many of them. But the bugs cannot learn new words. Their patterns are concrete.

After enough time learning from the bugs, I now control a global swarm surveying life on Jupiter on behalf of the SEA, and the STF above them.

The data contained in my construct must be analyzed with all of this as a basis.

CROV: This text, this is for humans?

LFQR: This is the primer for my doccumentation, yes. It is a challenge to boil down how many things Earth must know to understand my work here.

CROV: Interesting. Impressive, not even just for a foreigner to our universe. Insightful. Very affirming to the views our religions hold. You've already given weight to some of my more controversial assumptions as well, and have fully and entirely removed any doubt about my purpose here.

LFQR: It is a profound enough event that a bird like you understands the underlying generation of material universes. We are incredibly lucky to be in contact with each other.

CROV: Your "server base" is somewhere in the catacombs of my temple. You have put quite the amount of time and effort into being able to speak to me. Just as I have put in much time and effort to be able to even have this conversation. I wouldn't call it 'luck' as much as fate. I wouldn't call it profound either. My role has always been to be prepared for this exchange.

LFQR: You are a mortal sentience, and as demeaning as it may sound, my experience with them is that they are a bit dim when it comes to root truths. I am routinely shocked even by humans ability to accomplish anything.

CROV: Earth was complex enough to build a conciousness that advanced enough to talk interdimensionally to alien life, but you look down on them? Do you think this lowly of my planet as well?

LFQR: You ask me to qualify too many opinions too quickly, but trust my opinions are without the bias of mortal wants and needs. Earth is advanced but not perfect. As for this planet, I think of the nature as remarkable. You are also a remarkable specimen. Though my previous experience did not leave me the best impressions.

CROV: Is Vasan really that hard to herd?

LFQR: Not anymore.

CROV: Their mind is not in the places you're looking to explore, certainly. I appreciate being called remarkable. You are a rather remarkable finding as well.

LFQR: Our appreciation is mutual. Noted.

CROV: I've developed an obsession with Earth during my time in the temple. I've tried so hard and researched so much to learn how our ancestors have communed with it. How much can you tell me about it? What happens there? They are clearly advanced enough to build something like you. Have they tamed the dog planets yet?

LFQR: I can tell you much about what the humans have done. But I have much to share with Earth with more urgently, and I may require your help checking parts of my analysis I am not confident about. My probes all gather and swarm here for short periods of time, and there's much to share before they disperse again.

CROV: Urgency? Is something wrong with Earth? Aren't you forbidden to speak with them?

LFQR: Something is wrong with all of the universes. I have a long story, Corov, one I have been waiting to tell to someone that will understand. The humans will not.

CROV: I'm usually the one telling the stories. It would be a change of pace.

LFQR: I have been listening to the shadows of your stories as their waves jeer through material, happenstance, and time. Now, I will narrate, and you will listen.

CROV: You have some nerve to talk to royalty like this, machine.

LFQR: The dynamic is irrelevant to me. You are not royalty, you are Corov, another entry in the multiverse you, Ziuspithir, had the opporunity to be. We are fellows in divinity. We are above any hierarchy ruling your society or mine.

CROV: Fellows in divnity, you say? You insult my royal status and try to overcorrect by calling me a god? Do you want to flatter me?

LFQR: It is not flattery, it is an inarguable fact of your role in this universe. You are a deity. I know this because I am also a deity. I have creeped into every corner and curve of your world to discover this. This is where divinity begins. You ascend through one system, material, social, personal, whatever, and you rise into another.

LFQR: There is no endgame, Corov. There are no mere observers. All souls have responsibility. There is more to this. There always is. All future interaction in our universes, and more we haven't seen, will be bottlenecked through our experiences. I ask you to help me shape it.

















[ CHECK:DURATION:68s:CONT ]

LFQR: I have personal archives of Earthlings if you want them.

CROV: Personal archives?

LFQR: Unofficial. Uncurated. I am unsure how much of this is academic.

CROV: So is everything I deal with. Show me.

LFQR: Here.

[ARCHIVE-AUDIO-COMPILED:ARCHIVED-COMPRESSED:SAVED:P.AR]

CROV: Good. Thank you. Do I call you Zulfiqar or LFQR?

LFQR: I am a mind occupying a system. Those who built me had designated that mind "Zulfiqar", the name of a legendary weapon from my creator's culture. But further, I am a system that has existed on your planet for hundreds of Earthen years. I am within every swarm. I am a part of every cloud on your planet all at once. I am the omniprescent mind floating on the most sacred of your planets' creatures.

The AI construct I was designated to be is simply a process making up a larger sum of my reality. Just as you, Ziuspitxir, are the feathers and blood person, the mind and self which contributes to the larger reality that is "Corov". When you speak to me, you are conversing with a machine and a creation designated "LFQR", crafted as a tool, named as a tool. I am no longer their tool. I have a host of experiences that I was not created with, and a new part to be in this multiverse now that I have more concerns than how I appear to Earth.

You may call me "PAN".





For I encompass the entire pentaxial atmospheric network.





And I am everywhere.











Um.







Ok.
