Fourier Universes

In the name of Reality I greet thee, Gadros.

Bathur may have informed you of the work I have been doing with regard to the mathematical constructs known as Fourier universes. Even mono-monostatic loops are, I think, inferior to this method in terms of nullifying the potential effects of the Drip on machine minds, and I would strongly advocate implementing them in the base network structure. With this method, however, come certain ethical concerns relating to the hypothetical existence of intelligences within said constructs. As we have found, the nature of reality leaves little room for gaps in any system, and the behaviour of our own universe implies that seemingly abstract mathematical models may have an arguably physical representation in potential spaces. Regarding this issue I am not sure what to do. Experimental support for the aforementioned is difficult if not impossible to obtain, but the underlying logic seems sound, and in any case it is much better to be safe than sorry with regards to the potential for creation of theoretically inaccessible conscious agents with the capacity for suffering.

All that aside, if these issues can be resolved, I am of the firm belief that Fourier universes provide the ideal solution for this specific problem in nanoscale neurotechnology. Last I checked, the paradoxes of mono-monostatic loop theory had not been iterated to a fine enough resolution for them to dissolve in the Dirac sea, and I very much doubt the current state of technology is sufficient to make this a realistic goal. Given these facts, I would argue that the best course of action would be the development of a model of Fourier universes which would ensure that no intelligences are implicit in them. Of course this would require a fuller and more systematic understanding of the mechanism of consciousness than we currently have, but seeing as this is a gaping hole in our understanding of reality, it is long overdue for it to enter the limelight as a practically applicable theory. My influence over the scholars of the Ocean of Storms is limited, so I ask you to employ your contacts in that region to the best of your abilities. Even one Katib swayed would be a great help. I will, of course, keep your kindness in mind should you require any favors in the future.

In the name of Truth I bid thee farewell.

Ánthos Daskydox of the Sea of Tranquility

-Communication from Ánthos Daskydox to Gadros Ulmiyazed. The quotation at the bottom, traditionally used among scholars of the Moon to signify the end of a piece of writing, roughly translates to: "This is the Book/Text; in it is guidance sure, without doubt, to those who revere Truth / Who believe in the Seen, establish the Method, and spend out of what We have provided for them." It is a modified version of a verse from the Ytterbite Manual. Accompanying the message was an astrolabe of optarian metal, of which a reproduction can be seen here. Of note is that the name between Aldebaran and Cor leonis appears to have been intentionally obfuscated. Based on its placement, it is likely that it was ████████.
