Summary:

a mid-sized tale idea.

ED-K combined with Maxwellism!

TimeElapsed 29 Jun 2021 16:24

Seeking Greenlights: Nope.

Page Type: Tale

Elevator Pitch: Maxwellism turns their basic layer to Elysium for survival of human suffering from ED-K Lethe scenarios?

Central Narrative:

People suffer from acute headache if they try to recall concepts affected by ED-K Lethe incidents. However, when diving into Maxwellism network, the ache changes to a mild but addictive feeling. Because of this, more and more people resort to this wonderful virtual world, and use this feeling to satisfy and paralyze themselves. However, such addiction has its cost: if ED-K Lethe incident happens when people are connecting to the Maxwellism Network, their brain will overload, repelling out all memories. Within minutes, their brain would become a whiteboard.

One Foundation researcher doubted whether Maxwellism had its scheme as the number of believers soared up. She went to the basic layer for investigation, but she happened to experience a brain overload: the site she worked in experienced an ED-K incident. She became mad at first, and then rested in peace when all memories flowed out of her mind.

Hook/Attention-Grabber: depicts the clash between Foundation and Maxwellism in ED-K canon… which is a brand new idea!

Additional Notes: Maybe could add to Team Fuhgeddaboutit Hub?

Heya!

This was our discussion in IRC:

<TimeElapsed> An ED-K Lethe Event is characterized by the following parameters:
<TimeElapsed> Knowledge of a concept, object, or entity will be expunged through anomalous means from the memory of the affected humans.
<TimeElapsed> Any memories of interactions with things forgotten will still exist, but will have no context in the affected person's frame of reference.
<TimeElapsed> Loss of memory of a concept is long-lasting7 and self-sustaining; if an affected person is reminded of a concept forgotten, they will forget again as soon as the topic changes, and will undergo the same reintroduction every time they are exposed to the concept.
<TimeElapsed> I think these are enough for understanding
<fairydoctor> yea i get it now thanks :D
<fairydoctor> ¨Within minutes, their brain would become a whiteboard.¨ <- im getting super heavy ´snow crash´ and ´neuromancer´ vibes
<fairydoctor> ¨[…]Maxwellism had its scheme as the number of believers[…]¨ what do you mean?
<TimeElapsed> fairydoctor given the fact that so many people dive in the basic layer, the Foundation became alerted
<fairydoctor> so they thought that the maxwellists were doing something suspicious
<TimeElapsed> yep
<TimeElapsed> so Foundation researchers want to find it out, and they go inside, too
<fairydoctor> what are the researchers motivations for hacking in? couldnt they have used D Class or underling researchers?
<TimeElapsed> I thought of the possibility that D-class became the explorer but, I still think the hacking process is pretty technical
<fairydoctor> im not sure how amped up the Foundation would be about having an important asset to the Foundation do something like this, unless thereś a really good reason or if underling/junior researchers

• Feuerseele (PI.902.951.jo6.soc-PCS|eleesreueF#PI.902.951.jo6.soc-PCS|eleesreueF) has joined

<TimeElapsed> also D-class didn't do ARTMET, so their memories are too impaired to form complete thoughts
<TimeElapsed> junior researchers are applicable, I reckon
<fairydoctor> ¨paralyze themselves¨ i might have missed context to this. but how are they paralysing themselves?
<TimeElapsed> it's like the feeling of taking drugs
<TimeElapsed> some drugs can paralyze certain functions of your brain
<TimeElapsed> the "feeling" does the same
<fairydoctor> what aspects are paralysed?
<TimeElapsed> maybe vision, hearing, etc.

• Mars has quit (Connection closed for inactivity)

<TimeElapsed> My point is, the brain computer can alter the perception (for users to immerse in virtual world), so the special "headache" will change to something else

Hope this all helped!
