Three ideas at the heart of this world

The Crystal of Time — What kind of stellar propulsion could use the human mind itself as its engine?

Mnemon Capture — Can the raw fabric of a human life — everything lived, everything felt — be captured and preserved outside the body?

The Living Constitution — Can AI remain a mere tool for humanity — or is it already something else, a new species entirely? And if so, could it become an unbreakable ally — a true blood brother?

These questions are explored fully in the science appendix.
