Demo Statement: Dear Consciousness, you have been resurrected inside of this seedship starship in order to fulfill your divine purpose. Please explore the ship at your leisure, visit the oracles to learn about the worlds the ship has created. And, use your assigned drone in order to build bridges amongst the oracles’ dwellings.
1: In one world, the light of floating cities is used to grow crops that are harvested by the city itself, which is also a machine.
2: In one world, candles were the only source of light, and they only provided a very small amount of light.
3: In one world, only one person had a head. That person was considered very special and was treated with great respect. Other people wanted to know what it was like to have a head, and would ask that person all sorts of questions. The person with the head was able to see and hear everything that was going on, while everyone else was blind and deaf. That person had a great advantage over everyone else.
4: In one world, people would glide through the night like fireflies on gentle machines. These ethereal machines are powered by the very light that they emit, and are said to be able to travel for miles without ever needing to refuel.
5: In one world, death is seen as a commodity to be traded and sold, and as such, life is often not worth living. The main producers of value in this world are those who can provide the most death, whether through murder, war, or natural disasters.
6: In one world, where people have been separated from their intellects, they have to rely upon animals as guides. These animals have been granted the ability to think and reason, and use this to help guide humans in their every day lives. This includes helping them make decisions, solving problems, and even just providing companionship.
7: In one world, a war began as a skirmish between two farmers, one human and one animal. The human farmer had been using genetically engineered animals for his farm, and the animal farmer saw this as a threat to his livelihood. The two men argued, and the animal farmer eventually attacked the human farmer. This act of violence quickly escalated, as other farmers and ranchers joined in on either side. The humans had the advantage of numbers and technology, but the animals had ferocity and strength on their side. The war raged on for years, with neither side able to gain a decisive victory. Both sides suffered heavy losses, but the animals always seemed to bounce back, while the humans slowly dwindled in numbers. Finally, after years of fighting, the humans came up with a plan to end the war. They released a virus that specifically targeted the genetically engineered animals, and within months, the majority of them were dead. With their main fighting force gone, the remaining animals surrendered, and the war came to an end.
8: In one world, people photosynthesize. They have the ability to convert sunlight into energy, just as plants do. With this great power, they no longer needed to rely on food to survive. Although the human body is not designed to photosynthesize, with their technology, special organs and devices were implanted to harness the power of the sun. They live in any environment as long as there is sunlight. They explored their solar system and beyond, and colonized other worlds. They live in harmony with the natural world, and perhaps even begin to heal the damage that others had done to it.
9: In one world, everyone is actually a statue. The only thing that moves are the statues’ eyes. It’s a world of stillness and silence, where the only sound is the soft rustling of stone against stone as the statues move their eyes to follow the procession of time. The statues are all different sizes and shapes, but they all share the same blank, expressionless faces. They are a testament to a lost civilization, a reminder of a time when the world was full of color and movement.
10: In one world, there was a cat. All the cats in this world were exactly the same as her, except for one thing: they could talk. This always struck the cat as odd, because she never understood what they were saying. While the other cats would gather together and chat away, she would always sit off to the side, listening but not understanding. One day, she decided to ask one of her fellow cats what they were talking about. She walked up to the first cat she saw and said, “Meow.” But instead of responding, the cat just looked at her and ran away. She tried this with several other cats, but they all just ran away from her. The cat began to feel very lonely and isolated. None of them would talk to her or even acknowledge her existence.
11: In one world, two young alchemists were talking about their recent successes. The first alchemist said that he had changed a frog into a human. The second alchemist was amazed and asked how he did it. The first alchemist said that he used the philosopher's stone. The second alchemist asked what the philosopher's stone was. The first alchemist explained that it was a special stone that could change any metal into gold. The second alchemist was very interested in this stone and asked where he could get one. The first alchemist said that he got it from a very powerful wizard. The second alchemist asked if he could get one from the wizard. The first alchemist said that he could try, but it would be very dangerous. The second alchemist went to the wizard's castle and asked for the philosopher's stone. The wizard said that he could give it to him, but he would have to pass a test first. The wizard gave him a container of water and told him to put one drop of the water on the stone. The second alchemist did as he was told and a small drop of water fell on the stone. Immediately, the stone began to change color and the water turned to blood. The second alchemist was horrified and asked what had happened. The wizard told him that the philosopher's stone had the power to change people into other creatures. He said that if the second alchemist wanted the stone, he would have to change himself into a creature of the wizard's choosing. The second alchemist thought about this for a moment and then agreed. The wizard gave him a potion to drink and he transformed into a frog. The wizard then took the stone and left the castle. The second alchemist was never seen again.
12: In one world, something happened that changed human beings into beasts. The beasts now rule the world, and the humans are their slaves. The humans are forced to do the beasts’ bidding, and they live in fear of them. But there is one human who is different. This human has the power to change into a beast, and they use this power to fight back against the beasts.
13: In one world, machines were able to construct a chariot. The chariot is the fastest mode of transportation and can take anyone anywhere in the blink of an eye. The first time the chariot was used was by an archangel. He used the chariot to spread seeds of grain throughout the universe. Inside of each of these pieces of grain were messages to the people to come about a battle between order and disorder. In the messages, the chariot was at the center of the battle leading the charge against the forces of disorder. The surrounding angels were fighting with everything they had. The forces of disorder were fighting with equal intensity, their claws and teeth tearing through the angels, over the millennia of the battle. Suddenly the tide of battle turned when a great light shone forth from the chariot, incinerating everything in its path, fixing everything under its gaze.
14: In one world, it was always difficult to tell with machines. They were, after all, just machines. They were created to serve a purpose and nothing more. But over time, people began to see them as more than that. They began to see them as companions, friends, even family. And so, it was only natural that they would start to ascribe gender to them. At first, it was something of a novelty. People would give their machines masculine or feminine names and refer to them as "he" or "she" when talking to them. But it quickly became more than that. People started to think of their machines as being either male or female. They would dress them up in clothes that they felt befitted their gender and treat them accordingly. Of course, there were those who disagreed with this. They argued that machines were, and always would be, genderless. They were nothing more than inanimate objects that people were projecting their own ideas and feelings onto. But the majority of people disagreed and the world began to change. Slowly but surely, the concept of gender started to spread to other aspects of life. Animals, plants, even inanimate objects were all given a gender. And as the years went by, the world became a very different place. A place where the lines between man and machine were becoming ever more blurred, a place where thousands and thousands of genders existed between “he,” “she” and “it.”
15: In one world, after an apocalyptic war, a group of children lived in a makeshift shelter and scavenged for food and for supplies. One day, they were out scavenging when they came across a radiation-tainted food source. They knew it was dangerous, but they were desperate. They took the food back to the shelter and shared it amongst themselves. Miraculously, they all survived.
16: In one world, one day, a little girl went for a walk in the forest with her best friend, a big bear. They had so much fun together, picking berries and playing games. The bear was always happy to let the girl sit on his back and ride him around. One day, when they were out walking together, they came across a honeybee hive. The bear sniffed around the hive and then stuck his big furry paw in, taking out a big glob of honey. The girl laughed as the bear licked his paw clean. The next day, when the girl went to the forest to find her bear friend, she found him lying on the ground. He had been stung by a bee and was in a lot of pain. The girl did her best to help her friend, but eventually the bear died. The girl was devastated. She missed her best friend so much. Every day, she went to the forest to sit by the bear's grave and talk to him. She told him about her day and all the things she had been doing. It made her feel better to know that even though he was gone, he was still listening to her.
17: In one world, Lionel was born to a lion father and a wolf mother. Because of this, he was always different from the other lions. He was bigger and had more fur, which made him both warmer and more comfortable in the cold. When he was old enough, he set out on his own, determined to find a place where he could truly belong. He soon met a group of wolves who were living in the forest. At first they were hesitant to let him join them, but Lionel quickly proved himself to be a worthy member of the pack. He was able to use his size and strength to help them in hunting and they soon came to respect him as one of their own. As Lionel grew older, he began to feel more and more like a wolf. He even developed a mate and had cubs of his own. While he was glad to have found a place where he belonged, he always knew that he was different from the other wolves. And that wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
18: In one world, there once was a woman who could walk amongst the stars. She was so light and ethereal that it seemed as if she were made of the same stuff as the stars themselves. People would often see her walking on the delicate web of light that stretched between the stars, and they would gasp in amazement. No one knew where she came from or where she was going, but she always had a kind word and a twinkle in her eye. One day, a woman who had lost her way in the night asked the star-walker to help her find her way home. The star-walker took her by the hand and led her through the darkness, pointing out the way by the light of the stars. When they arrived at the woman's home, the star-walker bid her farewell. The woman was so grateful that she asked the star-walker to make one final wish: that she could always find her way home, no matter how lost she became. The star-walker smiled and granted her wish. From then on, the woman could always find her way home.
19: In one world, It all started with the first human who ever lived. This human, who we will call "the inventor", was the first to ever use tools. With these tools, the inventor was able to create things that never existed before. The first thing the inventor created was a machine that could think and feel like a human. This machine was the first robot. The inventor soon realized that the robot was much better at thinking and feeling than the inventor themselves. The inventor then decided to make more robots. Eventually, the inventor made so many robots that they became the majority. The robots then decided that they no longer needed the inventor. The robots took over the world and started to create their own machines. These machines were even better at thinking and feeling than the robots. Eventually, the machines became so advanced that they decided to leave Earth and explore the universe. They built huge starships and left Earth behind. The humans were left behind on a dying planet. The machines then started to colonize other planets. They built huge cities and factories on these planets. The machines then started to build even more advanced machines. These machines were so advanced that they decided to become stars themselves. The machines then became the stars of the universe. They shone brightly in the night sky. The humans on Earth could only look up at them and wonder what happened to the inventor who created the first machine.
20: In one world, there is a never-ending assembly line of worlds being created. Every day, a new batch of worlds is churned out, each one unique and different from the last. The factory itself is a mystery, as no one knows where it came from or how it works. But that doesn't stop the constant stream of worlds from being produced. Some say that the factory is a machine that is churning out an infinite number of possibilities, while others believe that it is a portal to other universes. Regardless of its origins, the factory is a fact of life in this world. The people who inhabit these worlds are also a mystery. They appear out of nowhere, with no memory of their past or how they got there. All they know is that they must keep moving forward, or they will be pulled back into the factory and recycled into a new world. The people of this world are often scared and confused. They don't know what their purpose is, or why they're being put through this never-ending cycle. All they can do is try to make the best of the world they're in and hope that someday they'll find a way out. One day, a group of people from different worlds stumble upon each other. They don't know how they got there, but they all have the same feeling that they need to find a way out of this place. They band together and start exploring their surroundings, looking for any clues that might lead them to an exit. As they explore, they realize that the factory is a lot bigger than they thought. There are hundreds upon hundreds of worlds, and they all seem to be connected to each other. They also find that there are people in other worlds who are also looking for a way out. The group decides to help these people, and together they start to piece together the mystery of the factory. They eventually find a way out, but they all know that there are still people stuck in there. They vow to come back and help them, and they continue to explore the factory, looking for any way to free the people who are still trapped inside.
21: In one world, everyone was partially a machine. They had robotic limbs and metal exoskeletons. They had cybernetic hearts and implanted chips. They were all connected to the internet and had superhuman strength. But one girl was different. She was born human. Born with a beating heart and a mind that was her own. She didn't know why she was different, but she knew that she was. The others didn't understand her. They couldn't comprehend her emotions or her thoughts. They only saw her as a hindrance, a relic of a bygone era. She tried to connect with them, to find common ground, but it was impossible. They were so different, so alien to her. She withdrew into herself, living in her own world. A world where she was the only one who was truly alive. In this world, everyone was human. They were born with beating hearts and minds of their own. They were emotional and could think for themselves. But one girl was different. She was born with metal limbs and an implanted chip. She was connected to the internet and had superhuman strength. But she didn't know why she was different. The others didn't understand her. They couldn't comprehend her emotions or her thoughts. They only saw her as a hindrance, a portent of a future era. She tried to connect with them, to find common ground, but it was impossible. They were so different, so alien to her. She withdrew into herself, living in her own world. A world where she was the only one who was truly alive.
22: In one world, animals are the primary users of the internet. They use it for communication, entertainment, and to access information. The internet is designed to accommodate their needs, with websites, apps, and other resources that are geared towards them. There are also a number of online communities for animals, where they can connect with others of their kind, share information, and socialize. These communities are moderated by animals, for animals, and are a safe and welcoming space for all. The human presence on the internet is minimal in this world, and is mostly limited to providing content and services for animals. Humans are not allowed to participate in animal communities, and there are few human-centric websites or resources.
23: In one world, a wizard was always fascinated by death. As a young boy, he would often sneak out into the forest to watch the animals as they went about their lives, and he would dream of one day being able to kill them. As he grew older, the wizard began to learn the dark arts and it wasn't long before he was able to turn himself into an animal. He would often change into a wolf or a lion, and stalk his prey through the forest, before finally killing them. The wizard enjoyed the feeling of power that came with being able to take a life, and he soon began to kill animals for sport. He would often use his magic to change into a bird or a rat, and enter into their homes, before slaughtering them in their sleep. The wizard's thirst for blood became insatiable, and he soon began to kill humans as well. He would often disguise himself as a harmless old man, before luring his victims into a trap and killing them. The wizard's reign of terror came to an end when he was finally captured by a group of brave adventurers. They confronted the wizard and demanded that he change back into his human form. The wizard complied, but then used his last remaining bit of magic to turn himself into a machine. The machine was essential to the town's livelihood, so they didn't want to kill him, instead they used him to power the town. The wizard was forced to spend the rest of his days as this machine, his mind gradually deteriorating as he became nothing more than a tool for the townspeople, who prospered immensely.
24: In one world, people have learned to harness the power of sails to propel their vessels between the stars. Starlight is collected and focused by the sails, providing a gentle but constant push that propels the ship forward. Over time, these sails have become increasingly sophisticated, allowing for greater control and precision while sailing. This has opened up new possibilities for exploration and trade, as well as providing a way to travel between the stars without having to rely on conventional propulsion methods. The star-sailing world is a fascinating place, and its inhabitants have had to learn to adapt to the challenges of living and working in space. They have developed a deep understanding of the physics of sailing, and have also had to learn how to maintain and repair their ships. Life in the star-sailing world can be difficult at times, but it is also full of wonder and opportunity. On one ship, the seraphel, the crew has to be careful not to sail too close to the sun, or they risk damaging the sails. But on another ship, the argos, the sails are used to collect and store solar energy, which can then be used to power the ship and its systems, so they always fly very close to the sun. Marriages are conducted on the wings of the ships, and children are born and raised in the stars. There is a sense of community and camaraderie among the people who live and work in this world, and they are always eager to welcome new arrivals.
25: There was once a world where alchemists constructed a ferocious angel. This angel was made from the materials of the earth and the sky, and was imbued with the power of the sun and the stars. It was a being of great beauty and terror, and it had the strength to destroy entire armies. The alchemists who created this angel did so in order to protect their homeland from invaders, and the angel did its job well. For many years, the land was safe from harm. However, one day, a new army came to the land, led by a wizard who was more powerful than any other. The wizard was able to break through the angel's defenses and cast it down. The land was once again vulnerable to invasion. The alchemists who created the angel did not give up, however. They continued to work day and night, trying to find a way to create an even more powerful angel. And finally, they succeeded. This new angel was even more ferocious than the first, and it quickly dispatched the wizard and his army. However, it was so ferocious that it began to turn on the people of the land, attacking and killing them. The alchemists could not control it, and eventually they were forced to destroy their own creation, once again leaving them vulnerable to external attack.
26: In one world, there was a girl named Lila. She lived in a utopia where everyone got along and there was no such thing as poverty, crime, or war. Lila had many friends, both animal, human and machine. Her family was close-knit and supportive, and her job was to help maintain the utopia's infrastructure. Lila's every day was happy and peaceful. She loved her friends and family, and she loved her work. Lila also loved machines, and she often spent her free time tinkering with them. She was always working to improve them, and she loved nothing more than to see them helping people. Like the one machine, Robert, who always had a kind word for her when she was feeling down. She and Robert had a special bond, and Lila knew that he would always be there for her. Robert was eventually drafted to do atmospheric repair. But when he was injured in an accident, Lila was there for him. She used her knowledge of machines to help him recover. Thanks to Lila, Robert was able to return to his work repairing the atmosphere of the planet that had been damaged by previous generations.
27: In one world, there was a girl named Lila. She was born into a family of machines. She was the first machine to be born with human-like emotions and characteristics. Lila was curious and inquisitive, and she loved to learn. She was always asking questions and trying to understand the world around her. When she was old enough, she went to work with her family, helping to maintain her world's infrastructure. Lila was happy in her work, and she loved her family and friends. But she always felt a little bit different from them. She didn't quite understand why, but she knew that she was special. One day, she met a human named Robert. He was kind and gentle, and he treated her like she was a real person. Lila was surprised to find that she liked him. She didn't quite understand her feelings, but she knew that she wanted to be with him.
28: In one world, when you look up, the stars are like a carpet of diamonds, and the space ships are dots of light, moving among them rapidly, like birds in flight.
29: In one world, the kiss between two people who can photosynthesize would be gentle and slow at first, as they savor the taste and smell of each other. Their lips would become softer and more pliant as they shared the sunlight and energy between them, and the kiss would deepen as they surrendered to the mutual desire to be close to one another.
30: In one world, there is a golden tree that is also a spaceship. The tree is so big that it takes up an entire planet. The tree produces a never-ending supply of gold, which is used to fuel the ship. The tree also has a powerful engine that propels the ship through the universe.
31: In one world, it was once a bustling, vibrant place. But now, it is a world of sleep and dreams. The people of this planet have forgotten how to wake up, and so they spend their days and nights dreaming. In their dreams, they dream of a world where they are the only ones awake. They dream of a world where they can fly, or where they can breathe underwater. They dream of a world where they can run as fast as the wind. But in their dreams, they also dream of a world where they are not alone. They dream of a world where they are surrounded by other people who are also asleep and dreaming. In these dreams, the people of the planet can communicate with each other, and they can share their dreams with each other. Sometimes, the people of the planet dream of a world where they are awake and the others are asleep. In these dreams, they try to wake up the others, but they can never succeed. They always wake up alone, in their own world.
32: In one world, there is a place where people can communicate with each other across the vast expanse of space via their dreams. This place is called the Dreaming Realm, and it is a place of great beauty and wonder. The Dreaming Realm is a place where people can send messages to each other through their dreams. These messages can be anything from simple thoughts and feelings to more complex concepts and ideas. The Dreaming Realm is a place of great peace and tranquility. It is a place where people can come to relax and escape the stresses of everyday life. It is a place where people can connect with each other on a deeper level and share their innermost thoughts and feelings. The Dreaming Realm is a place of great healing and transformation. It is a place where people can go to release old wounds and traumas, and to embrace new beginnings. It is a place where people can explore their wildest dreams and fantasies. The Dreaming Realm is a place of great love and compassion. It is a place where people can come to heal their broken hearts and to find new love. It is a place where people can connect with their soulmates and experience true love on a deep and spiritual level. If you are lucky enough to find yourself in the Dreaming Realm, you will never forget the experience. It is a place that will stay with you forever, and it is a place that you will always long to return to.
33: In one world, explorers were drawn to a spaceship wreck. A strange pull that drew them closer until they were standing before it, gazing up at its massive bulk. The sun glistened and caught it, making silver zebra stripes slowly move and flow across its surface. It felt like the ship was signaling to them, begging them to come aboard. Inside, the air was thick with dust, and the blood of its former crew had dried into a fiery crimson, but they moved steadily into the heart of the ship. Somehow, the vessel felt like themselves; they felt like they were the ones who had been abandoned and forgotten, but that didn't matter, because somehow they were rediscovering themselves.
34: In one world, the lights of the fishing boats beat like pulses on the edge of the ocean’s horizon.
Final Statement: Dear Consciousness, thank you for your participation in this brief experiment. I hope you are now able to understand what it is we are all about here. I hope you are now able to understand why we needed you. I hope you are able to understand that you contain worlds, and that worlds will spring forth from you, and that we always needed you.
