The Immanent

The breadth of spacetime, and us.

Triumphs

I. Now and hereafter

The fall dissolves my body because I allow it. The radiolaria takes my consciousness into the network because I command it. I do not perish; I am not swept away by outside force; the waterfall accedes to gravity only upon my word. The lingering prese ...

 

II. A perfect when

It is not power that corrupts but time: the pressure of the world bearing down over endless seconds until what was perfect is distorted, stretched, suspended. True preservation is impossible in the face of chronology. Even silver, purest of the condu ...

 

III. Down?

Traveling the Vex information network means metaphor superimposed on the flat planes of reality. Techno-biological synesthesia. Merkwelt, wirkwelt, umwelt. I step through a portal held open by the calculations of a Gate Lord, feel it in its true form ...

 

IV. The root of unity

I'm standing on a glass pier stretching out over a pale, alkaline lake. I'm crossing a static-charged field of snow. I'm sitting on a bench in front of a Parthenon frieze worn over millennia to near perfect smoothness. :necessary change:limb in jaw- ...

 

V. Eternal life

The Vex keep their hypotheses in quarantine. Tested and iterated on until they are ready for distribution. My lungs fill with salt water. I grow gills, filtering life from the sea of data. What compost have you turned over for me, my creatures? I m ...

 

VI. You and I and I and you

I'm standing on a hilltop in a simulation of the Gamma Cephei system and thinking that with the time surrounding me, forty years is a rounding error. Forty years separate Venus's Maya from Neptune's. Forty years between when I sent my copies into t ...

 

VII. The last time we were apart

Varanasi, where I was born; Zurich, where we met; Tafilalet, my first lab posting after we got our doctorates, and the mouth of the Moulouya, where you yelled in my ear with incomprehensible joy at seeing an Audouin's gull. Alcântara, where we sat fo ...

 

VIII. Gloria mundi

You sit there, nine parasites latched onto the heartbeat of the world. Untouched by time, by electromagnetism, by nearly any force I could name. All you need is a gravity well and the minds to fill it. And you're still afraid. :concern:alarm:rashne ...
