[SPEC] to the nth degree

[leakingpen]

theres a fight going on right now over using snow machines on the san franscisco peaks and opening more ski runs, as the mountains have significant religious significance to several local tribes, and the phrase, losing a link to our ancestors, was used. ive heard it used in reference to destruction of other archeological sites. i think its more a symbolic link than anything else. as for no body... then they know how she died, and why no time of death can be determined from the body (becuase though brain dead conciously, her autonomic systems woulda kept going, so they probably found her breathing, heart beating, in a pilke of drool and waste, and a brain scan showed nice flat lines.) how precicesly?

Perhaps the Cube is a collection of our knowledge from years in the future, that we left behind for future life when our species was eradicated in a natural disaster. The Perplexians call Earth by a different name now, and are not aware that the "Earth" that is reffered to in the Cube's knowledge bank is actually the very same place they reside in.

This isn't going to be much of a spec, but...

Anyone notice the similarities between the Receda Cube and the Rosetta Stone? (Hey, if one even tries hard enough you can pronounce Rosetta, "ruh-*see-dah." )

Both are artifacts from previous, advanced civilizations that serve as a communications key to unlocking the gateway to understanding their history. The value of our own Rosetta Stone is incalcuable -- though I hardly think a massive effort would arise should someone steal it (we made copies, after all...).

Rather than picturing an expansive hypercube large enough to encircle the universe, I'm thinking this Cube is small, metallic, and portable. Its dimensions aren't the mystery so much as what it can do.

i like that analagy

the diffrence of course being that they haven't finished studying the cube and we have finished studying the rosetta stone, and chances are good they haven't/can't copy it either.

my spec:

the cube is a lot like a crystal ball. except instead of seeing into the future, when you look into it- it connects you to your universal duplicate. if the universe is infinite then there are infinite versions of you out there on an infinite number of earth-like planets. the cube taps into each different you much like a radio, change the frequency it finds a 'you' in another location. of course its different for every person that comes in contact with it.

they (the scholars at the academy) don't know this yet, what they do know: earth's frequency (or how to reach earth)*, and each person that uses the cube, can see their earth universal duplicate, as to whether that person the cube user is seeing is the same, is up to the 'psychology of being'**. either way, when someone looks into the cube, they become a seer-er, they tap into another version of themselves, somewhere else, see feel and experience what their counterpart sees feels and experiences. then they write down and catalogue these experiences, and this is how they have a picture of earth- through the cube.

they may have adapted cube technology to allow bilateral transfer of information. so really the website and everything we are seeing are visions transported into the ripe brains of the people at MC, whom then relate the information to us through the site etc. these people just happen to be counterparts to academics, thats how they were gathered together. they combed the world for ppl who were good at puzzles, and narrowed down MC to the people who were the actual duplicates of academics/scholars at the academy.

now say you use the cube for an extended period of time. maybe it has residual effects on you. maybe it gives you the power to contact and and show your universal duplicate your world. this is what the academy has been keeping so hush hush, either they have developed a weaker cube substitute, which can only send limited amout of information both ways over a certain period of time, explains our slow updates or they have become: universal mentants or psychics, but the energy required for them to do this is taxing on their bodies, so it takes a long time in between transmissions.


ching ching? i liked it.

* of course academy discovers new galaxy, so maybe they have modulated their frequencyand tapped into another earth somewhere in another galaxy.

**you exist as a singular entity, independent of the environment system you grow up in, or not.
