[ HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. okay, okay, okay. he'll press enter. ]

friendly neighborhood anonymous here.

so this was going to be a post about a database i'm working on with some other people and hopefully more people but one of those people seems to be unreachable now so this is also an APB for Gregor.

onto other shit: we've been working on a document that keeps all the facts we know and all the theories we're currently trying to prove/disprove. it's encrypted for obvious reasons but click the link and I'll get you access no problem [ for all those who have come across his videos on how to use encryptions and how to make yourself purely anonymous, fear not! the stupid naming conventions continue: satanwasababyboomer.doc but its safe to assume that anyone who clicks gains both access to view and edit pretty quickly. ]

this tech is pretty old for me. i'm doing what i can to make it both secure AND accessible. if you're talented with early 2000s technology c'mon down. maybe you can make something work that i can't.

i have to admit i'm not the greatest at keeping on top of things like this. could really use the extra hands in general. there are some other people looking to do the same thing as this but hard copy. mingle with them if that's your bag. assuming they reply here (please reply here if/when you see this... if you want to).

also just for my own curiosities: calling all tech people. engineers, programmers, whatever. let's put our heads together. help one another out.

ps: if you want to annoy someone that's pissing you off I recorded fart sounds, you're welcome.

Hey, yeah. I'm one of them. Always looking for more, too. Group effort and all that. Nice to meet you, man. Outside of potential circumstances. it's been a bit since we talked but i reached out last night or the night before...? [ SORRY HE IS... USUALLY DRUNK THESE DAYS. ] And the message went through but this morning when I opened everything up the message was gone, couldn't find his contact, etc. So pretty recently.

Your theory is a little out of my field but I'm following. My personal... uh, well, i'm not the only one to think it... anyways, the simulation theory and your dream theory have a lot of parallels.

If this is a simulation it could be easily coded in to reset the world after X amount of time and, given some things take longer to "reload" than others, exceptions are simple to add in. Also explains the borders just like your dream theory. Also there's the whole... no powers thing or limited powers thing. If we're code, like say we're a copy of our real selves downloaded into this program, then it would be easy to modify us. Also makes the penalties make sense. I've never seen indestructible handcuffs. Those suckers weren't budging.

But I think i could probably wrap my head around the mechanics of your theory. Still you and your friends are the experts so please feel free to add it to the document whenever you and have time or if you'd rather I do it, lemme know. i'd be happy to be one of those people you interview just to give you some more data.

Few questions though:
what is Jnana energy?
does your theory have an explanation for the abilities/power cap?
any idea what would happen if someone drops out of the dream?

I see. In your theory, we are then simulacra or facsimiles of ourselves, information-driven copies of ourselves that are no longer tethered to the reality that we came from.
I've seen theories like these of copies; if we can 3d-model buildings, why can we not model human beings? Though research of this fashion is banned in the Akademiya - the academic body where I come from - so I haven't seen a lot of theorising on that matter.
If you're open to an interview, I would be very grateful. I don't have anything in the way of compensation, but... more heads the better?
To answer your questions:

1) Jnana energy is difficult to explain, but grossly simplified: it a cumulation of life energy, knowledge, and emotion. We had a terminal called the 'Akasha Terminal' which can transform dreams and life energy into Jnana Energy, which in turn can create a simulated dream world where one can exist with an number of ideal factors in place - for example, you are able to see your loved ones there, even if they have already died, or been displaced. It isn't a revival; it is merely a simulacra. But it requires massive amounts of Jnana energy, and is most effective when hooked up to a network of people.

2) The theory accounts for the lack of powers in that the 'settings' set by the dream either restricts the amount of ambient elemental particles - or in this case, particulates needed to contain the level of powers - or it allows our powers to continue to exist, but without us being able to observe its effects, effectively prevent them from actualising. A friend of mine has a divine spirit that came with him and whom he is able to access, but his spirit seems to have difficulty doing more than the usual. Further testing will be needed to determine if the powers are hitting a 'wall', as in prevention - or its effects merely are not observable.

3) In past cases, those who disappear from the dream are because their Jnana Energy has been overharvested. In other words, they are dead.

[ ... that is not the end, kaveh thinks, that he wants for gregor. he hadn't known the man for too long, but... it's not right, that sort of thinking. there's a long beat in which a message is pending but nothing is actually sent, and then: ]

Um, I drew up a quick sketch of Gregor as the last I'd seen of him.
Perhaps we could put these up? Just in case anyone not on the network happens to see or know something. I know not everyone knows how to use these things, or spend time looking at every message.

Something like that, yeah. I don't know if its possible to transfer our neural map into something else so much as make a copy of it just before or directly after we die. It's claimed to be an extension of life but really, that's what it is: a copy. Would be wild though if we were actually just downloaded somehow, full on, into this place. Not a copy. Scientifically speaking anyway. That shit is way beyond me.

Sure, I can do an interview. No payment needed, man. More heads the better is exactly it.

1. definitely not something that exists in my world (yet?) but that's fascinating as all hell. we have technology that simulates these things to an extent but its not something inherent to a person as much as something created by people to serve people.

2. right, so if someone among us or someone not yet seen by us is responsible for the dream that we're in they can actively set perimeters in whatever fashion best suits their desires? hitting a wall or having powers/abilities capped vs 'if we cannot observe something does it actually exist' is a hell of a philosophical question. I have no idea how to go about testing or proving anything regarding this but look forward to whatever you and your friends find.

3. not the greatest outcome but we do have to accept that it might be a reality.

Hey, thanks for this poster. Someone else suggested something similar. I don't know if this place will think of this as a crime, defacing buildings or whatever, but I'm willing to try. Not like I've never been in cuffs before. I'll put them around. No need to have more than one person get the heat for it.

I appreciate all this food for thought, in all honesty. We've been bouncing these ideas back and forth without reprieve, so having another perspective is excellent.
Alright. I will update your document with a few notes, and I'll contact you for the interview. Ah... I can, can I? It says you're anonymous, but you're still reachable? Do I just reach out to you here?
Lastly, allow me to help. Between one or two people being handcuffed, what's the difference?
Though I suggest that we use this as an opportunity as well. Perhaps tape, thumbtacks sticky gum and other types of adhesives ought to be used in tandem, just to see if having different ways of affixing the pages to the wall will work or not.
From a 'everything getting reset' perspective, I mean.
Um. Don't take on this burden by yourself, alright?

[ Don't take on this burden by yourself. That. Uh. Did things. Never used to be like this. He wants his community back but he can't, wow, he cannot deal with letting anyone see how much of a monster he's become. The lengths he'll go. Aiden was a different story, Jordi was a different story. They were fixers. It was their job. ANYWAYS. ] Ping me here whenever you're ready.

Uh, sure man. I mean, if you're sure. I agree. Let's see what sticks, ayyyyy (╭☞´ิ∀´ิ)╭☞ [ hahaha ACTING. He's fine. Everything's fine. ]

[ deep well of completely unnecessary empathy... tingling... because those sure were a lot of unaddressed bullet points. kaveh looks at the screen. hm. ]

Oh, it's that kaomoji thing.
And a terrible pun, but I suppose it's warranted given the circumstances.
Alright, I'll swing back in touch. Perhaps I will see you around with the flyers as well.

[ haha, oh man if you're an empath then you're in for a treat around this guy. ripperoni pepperoni. ] cute, huh?

thank you, thank you. i'll take this approval. be seein' ya, then.
