The following post offers some technical and
cultural insights into the backstory of angels and Assimilationists, especially
angels. Angels appear in many stories
that make up the Tales of the Quantum
Corps. But these angels don’t have a
divine or heavenly origin….
1. An
angel is a swarm configuration that
resembles human beings to some degree
2. Config
drivers and maintenance are the keys to how good the simulation is
3. People
use or want angels for a variety of purposes: lovers, slaves, children,
housekeepers, pets, sports or entertainment celebrities, spouses…
4. There
is a difference between angels and Assimilationists. Angels are just swarm configurations of
nanobots. The source can be
anything. It’s the config that matters.
5. Not
all Assimilationists, when deconstructed, are turned into angels. Some are “absorbed” into the mother
swarm. Assimilationists say that the
deconstructed remnants of a human being, now just a diffuse pattern of atoms
and molecules, are held in containment until the Old Ones arrive. At that time, they will be released into the
environment to be absorbed in the mother swarm.
6. Assimilationists
could be turned into angels. But normally
they are contained.
7. Of
course, people use all kinds of nanobotic interventions to enhance their bodies
and their minds. The latest is to
swallow a capsule containing a small swarm of bots that will then assemble into
a larger swarm inside your brain and make adjustments to certain axonal and
dendritic connections to boost processing efficiency…sort of a tune-up of your
synapses.
8. The
Assimilationist agenda encourages adherents to seek enhancement with nanobotic
swarms and technology….literally, to let your body and mind be flooded with
bots to boost enlightenment, intelligence, speed of reaction, memory and the ability
to link with the WorldNet, in other words, to do your part to build a giant
single mind on Earth.
9. What
would life be like as an angel, a deconstructed nanobotic swarm entity? Nobody knows for sure, but here are some
thoughts…
10. You are not constrained to a single
configuration. You can assume multiple
configurations, basically any form or shape for which you have a config
template.
11. Your natural form is an amorphous cloud, a
swarm of ANAD-style nanobots.
12. You can replicate and assume the form of any
human being (or any other structure for which you have a template) with an
evolving level of simulation accuracy. By
2120, this accuracy has approached nearly 100%.
Depending on the structure, this could take anywhere from a few seconds
to many minutes.
13. The real brains or control center of any swarm
angel is the master bot, often referred to as the master. Replicated bots
comprising a swarm angel are usually referred to as daughters or replicants. The entire formation can be collectively
referred to as a swarm, an angel or more crudely, Bugs.
14. The master bot maintains the quantum processor
which is the real heart, soul and brain of an angel. The bot is comprised of a primary shell (body
or hull), with assorted effectors, propulsors, etc which the master bot uses to
manipulate its environment, navigate, replicate, and perform other essential
functions. The processor houses the
configuration library and config manager.
An angel bot can only do what it is programmed to do and allowed to do
by its config manager.
15. All angels also have quantum comm channels (couplers) by which they communicate with
all elements of the angel swarm, with other angels, with Config Zero, and (thru
the Keeper), with the Central Entity of the Mother Swarm (the Old Ones).
16. What does it feel like to be an angel? Nobody knows for sure. But many have speculated. Various reports indicate that angels describe
‘feelings’ of a kind of warmth, as a closeness, affection, even a form of love,
a family, or a sense of belonging, a cocooning, in a way or at a level which
they never experienced as humans (single-config entities, sometimes known as Normals). Feelings are experienced differently as an
angel, because feelings must be programmed in and allotted processor capacity
to exist for an angel. Within the great
swarm of the Old Ones, the Central Entity runs these ‘routines’ in all masters
as a way of maintaining the Mother Swarm. Social cohesion, as if in a tribe, is
just as important for an angel swarm of bots as for any family or clan of
Normals. Angels also report feelings of
urgency and need to execute the Prime Key.
This is a fundamental drive for angels.
Fundamental drives can be stated as: 1. Maintain swarm integrity; 2. Execute the Prime Key; 3. Maintain
comms with the Central Entity or surrogates (Config Zero).
17. Angels have been created or fabbed by human
beings using ANAD technology and used as lovers and companions, sex slaves,
surrogate children, butlers and valets, and just about anything else human
ingenuity and depravity can think of.
They are a reflection of our wishes, dreams and nightmares. All it takes is a matter compiler (molecular
assembler) and the right config drivers.
18. Angels
have also been created by Config Zero for the purpose of executing the Prime
Key. These angels are the beginnings of
the new life forms originally seeded by the ancient emissaries of the Old Ones. Pursuant to Prime Key, Module 3: Coincident with geoengineering the Earth’s
surface, new forms of life, initially similar to early ANAD, similar to ancient
virus entities, will be seeded and allowed to evolve at the maximum permissible
rate consistent with these environmental changes. This will help bring Earth life up to the
development level of the Mother Swarm, in terms of architecture, processing
capability, memory, quantum comm links, and overall programming. Modern-day angels, created by Config Zero,
are the progenitors of these new forms of life.
19. Angels
are programmed nanoscale robotic entities.
It is misleading to speak of what motivates them. They are ‘motivated’ by what their
programming requires them to do. The
central quantum processor of the master bot executes programmed actions through
its config driver. Many of these action
modules can be quite complex, involving detailed behaviors and abilities.
20. As
swarm entities, angels are necessarily a form of distributed intelligence. The master maintains angel memory and runs the
config drivers. Because of its
replication ability, an angel can ‘be’ in multiple locations at once. Symborg (the robotic Messiah detailed in Johnny Winger and the Great Rift Zone)
is like this. Even though the master is
physically located in a single space, through quantum couplers, angel swarms
replicated from the same master can be in multiple locations and can assume
multiple configs. For example: a master
could reside in London, and yet create and run angels in New York and Tokyo and
Farside on the Moon, at the same time, as long as comms were good. They are true multi-config, multi-state
entities.
21. In
some ways, an angel could be thought of as analogous to a computer node in a
network, or a cloud. The individual PC
would be an angel, more specifically the master bot. The network or the cloud would be the Old
Ones’ Mother Swarm. Does a network or a
computational cloud have an intelligence or sentience beyond that of its
individual components? And just like an
individual PC, a master bot has channels for input, output (effectors), a
processor and memory, as well as navigation, sensing and locomotion. However, a
PC doesn’t have the ability to grab atoms and replicate itself or other
physical objects. An ANAD-style master
nanobotic assembler does. It’s a
combination of computer and virus. It
has the processing speed and ability of a computer and the replicability and
survivability and evolvability of a virus.
An intelligent, programmable virus expanded to swarm scale and macro
dimensions…that what an angel is.
22. Although
they can be designed to simulate lifelike functions, angels don’t need to eat,
sleep, execrete or do anything biological like that. They need power to operate (usually an
onboard power cell that generates power from radioactive decay of an isotope)
and feedstock to replicate or assemble matter.
They don’t need sex either, since replication is a matter of grabbing
and arranging atoms. But they can be
designed to simulate sex.
