Camelite and golemite-Q-

Another day, another material. Material 9020, created in 2.EA.311, is described as “quantum adaptive”, and it contains a tier 1 AdvUript meant to help it perceive its most common state. It is able to shift its rendering to be quantum negative or quantum positive, depending on what render state it’s in the most. There are no warning labels, but it isn’t very promising. Nevertheless, it does seem interesting.

Update: the Cube spawned, then hid itself. I was able to get DataFile access temporarily, but the cube seems to resist being perceived in any way. It wouldn’t stay in an interface bow format for long enough to upload the entire drone script, and I almost didn’t notice when it flew off. It seems I was able to grant it mobility, and it escaped without me adding any other functionality. If you manage to see a floating green cube, please inform me.

Since that failed so spectacularly, I decided to take a short break from drone research and tested a material I was interested in. The quantum negative form of Golemite, now named golemite Q neg, or Golemite-Q-, is interesting. I know that lower Tier AdvUripts don’t always get consistently rendered, but I’m curious as to what sort of interactions it might have.

Update 2: Golemite-Q- is an interesting material, and it appears to form a sort of energy construct around itself, rather than a material construct. Technically, some forms of energy are materials, but it seems specially designed to form “energy” into a body. It took to the drone script well, and began to form its own body. While Drone-2 requires electricity to function, drone-4 seems to gain energy via movement.

Drone-4 is able to generate a small bubble of wind around itself, even under observation. It is able to fly, can connect to the drone app, and outputs video. The problems it has are relatively minor, mostly a constant need for movement and occasional ignorance of inputs. It seems to enjoy pestering Drone-2, and does not have any noticeable emotions towards Drone-1. I believe I may have accidentally made the perfect scout, so long as I train it to obey. I will be looking into how to train pets to do tricks, and see if I can apply that to Drone-4. I might see if I can do the same for Drone-1 and -2.

It’s interesting. It almost feels like when I first got Remington. Hopefully, things go well on this mission.

Pleasant day,

Golemite

The interest of Manacite remains, but a large amount of materials from that version seem to rely on Mana, which as we discovered previously, is almost entirely bugged. The was something interesting, though. Another unique material that “ate” Mana, but didn’t need it. That material, 8EDA, still exists. It was implemented in 2.E1.2A, and has not been removed, though its quantum positive version is.

8EDA contains a “high growth AdvUript specialized in material manipulation”. It starts as a Tier 0.8, but can advance in tiers by consuming mana. It’s also “attuned to its consumed Mana”, which is referenced as a subcategory of the energy type I’m calling Mana. These translations are based around my name for the energy, rather than its official term, but I prefer my name for it.

8EDA might be perfect for the drone, and we are going to run a few tests to check it.

Update: this material is highly viable, with some minor drawbacks. The spawning process went well, and there were no errors in the file. The Drone script almost worked, but a few values got errored out. Those values mostly pertained to the charging script. It seems that in order to have Drone-2 move, we will need to feed it energy. Fortunately, it was able to consume power off a car battery I attached to the infinite charging block.

The AdvUript was able to maneuver itself like Drone-1, but exhibited a sort of lethargy. It seemed to actively fight the controller if it would move too far from the charger. It was able to output video, but stopped doing so when disconnected. I believe that, if we could remove that tendency, it would be perfect, but it seems to be hardcoded into the material.

For now, Drone-2 has joined Drone-1 as fellow semi-failed experiment. They don’t seem to be in conflict with each other, so long as Drone-1 stays away from the charging block.

Pleasant day,

Thulite

We discovered another possible material, material B221 from version 1.23D.52. This one hasn’t been removed entirely, but there is no quantum positive or quantum negative version of it. Its help file mentions it exists only under certain circumstances, and that it shouldn’t be used near tier 2 or lower beings in large quantities. “Large quantities” on a galactic scale. A 1U cube should be fine.

Apperantly, the material contains a tier 0.8 AdvUript already, but it also specializes in “absorbing AdvUripts” according to Remington-Gede’s translation. It sounds perfect, other than the warning label. We will begin testing immediately.

Update: we voided it. Sent it into OOB. That thing was, and please excuse my language, f*cking terrifying.

Thullite, named after the well known elder god, causes delusions and forceful expansion of an AdvUript. That is not its intended purpose, however. Its intended purpose is to EAT one’s SOUL. At least, that is the closest analogy one can get to its “processing of AdvUripts into base components for simpler absorption”. The delusions are cause via the processing, as most of the Scripts you use to interface with the real world are not meant to deal with it.

I am now questioning why a material that causes minor system lag is mostly banned, while an object that actively destroys low tier AdvUripts isn’t. Gede was able to confirm that he was unaffected, and his presence helped anchor me and Remington to our bodies, but a normal person would likely have died before the next frame could process.

We are now going to be very careful with warnings.

Pleasant day,

Manacite

I believe I have discovered magic. In our search for materials, I found one I had to test, even if it wouldn’t have been useful. Material 5EAA, added in 2.E.11, and removed in 2.4A32.5122D.02, is a material that contains an energy I believe to be mana. The energy is only described slightly, and it refers to a help page even Gede doesn’t have clearance for. It seems that this energy was one of the defining features of Simulation v2, and I am interested in how it might work.

I made sure there were no warnings, and everything checks out. I’m unsure of how this would work, but that’s what experiments are for!

Update: it… didn’t exactly work. When I attempted to spawn in a cube, the checking program crashed halfway through the process. The Cube still spawned, but Gede was out cold for a few hours.

The DataFile for the Cube was constantly pinging type 1 and 2 errors, but it wasn’t fixing itself. After testing I determined the material was safe to touch, and was able to move it somewhere manually.

The Cube looked like a blue crystal, and inside, the strange energy swirled. The energy itself was odd, swirling, but stuttering, and occasionally changing to a bright red reminiscent of the error messages it seemed to generate. When I touched the cube, the energy seemed to pull towards my hand, but never very close.

If I was able to shrink the Cube the way I normally do, I would see if I could put it on my nightstand. As is, I have mostly set it aside for later experiments.

Oh well. I guess I’ll just have to make do with altering reality via code, rather than with magic.

Pleasant day,

Mechite

Remington-Gede found a material he thought would help. Number 47E, a material that was added in 1.3E.42A, and removed in 1.3E.42C. The Help File for it contains too much information to fully read, but it mentions it being a material with a tier 1 AdvUript pre-installed. While the drone DataFile calls for a tier 0.8, the difference should not matter much. The issue is that the AdvUript of the material apparently had enough lag that it crashed the local server it was implemented in.

Remington-Gede has confirmed that the AdvUript system has been updated since then, and that it shouldn’t cause any problems. I am still slightly nervous, but this material sounds incredible!

We will be spawning in a cube with an instance of this material soon. I feel that I should write my thoughts before and after we test, so I will continue is a moment.

Update: The new Cube was spawned successfully, and I immediately began to feel a slight sensation of vertigo. It seems that while the AdvUripts had indeed been optimized, there was still a noticeable impact on local performance. It only affected me when within a 4 unit wide sphere, tested with TA4, a modified measuring tape.

Pulling up the file, I was able to add our kitbashed version of the drone DataFile. After trimming a few errors, the Cube began to float on its own. I then began testing the video system. I was able to get the drones DataFile to output a Bluetooth signal at a specified GPV, and then connect it to my phone using the app the original drone would use.

There were immediately issues. The video output was monochromatic, which was acceptable. It was also vertigo inducing, which was not ideal. I ran the clip through a file converter and it seemed to fix that. Finally, the video kept lagging inconsistently. It would freeze for a minute, then jump to the current moment, then play slowly for a few seconds, then speed up for a few seconds , and so on.

That issue turned out to be because of the drones AdvUript. The video wasn’t lagging, the AdvUript was. Since we are unable to fix that, I’ve decided that we should keep looking into possible materials. The video is unusable in its current form.

While we could dispose of the hovering silver cube with a fear radius, I am loathe to do so. Both because I created it, and because of its appeal, to be frank, ot looks like an ornate hovering box, and it floats. It’s “cool”.

It seems to not need to eat, but it moves around on its own. I can control it, but it drifts around itself when I don’t use the app. For now, I have tagged the outside as a no-fly zone, and Drone-1 seems to obey.

Pleasant day,

Protoconciousness

It appears that there is a slight hiccup in our current plans. Namely, the Files for the drone we copied rely on something I didn’t expect to see. A tier 0.8 AdvUript!

Computers are built from items that are classified as tier 0 AdvUripts. They are able to respond to stimuli at a certain level, but are simple minded, even compared to the average rat. The internal system of a computer runs off 1s and 0s, and every other input or output it takes relies on translating reality to 1s and 0s. Even though reality is, in fact, 1s and 0s, they still struggle.

Apparently, within the circuit boards and soldering, a simple form of consciousness exists. This consciousness only seems to understand binary, and its only goal is to translate input into output. It’s even possible for me to make a tier 0.8 AdvUript myself. The issue is that the Default Cube we were intending on using for scouting doesn’t have a place to insert it.

If I created the AdvUript, it would be unable to inhabit the cube, not because it physically couldn’t, but because it can’t comprehend the idea of anything besides ones and zeros. The way we planned on transporting the cube currently prevents us from just strapping a computer to it, since the UPV only moves the cube itself.

This should be fixable, and Remington-Gede has an idea for how we could make it work, but it requires more Help File sifting. For now, we are testing some of the other modifiers. We are able to make the cube float, and we were able to remove the need for charging. During that process, I was able to alter another cube to charge devices touching it to 80% of their capacity. I now have a phone charger. I theoretically could make infinite energy, but that feels highly problematic, given Earth’s current state of affairs.

Pleasant day,

Misconduct

I am writing this not as a regular document, but as a breakdown of events that have led me to break the law. I did not steal anything, but I could be charged with breaking and entering on a technicality. Also ignorance of the traditional laws of physics.

Today I remembered that one of the people in my neighborhood, who will not be named, owns a drone. He is a tech head and an elderly person, and I will refer to him as “Old Steelheart” for his temperament and knowledge.

Old steelheart uses the drone to clean out his gutters, and I thought about asking him if I could look at it. However, old steelheart doesn’t like people, so I believed he wouldn’t have allowed me access. I did know that he kept it in a shed at the back of his property, so I attempted to open it. It was locked.

I then tried something risky I had tested a few times: GPV editing, also known as teleportation. By recording my GPV standing on either side of the shed, then averaging them, I was able to get the coordinates of the shed. After that, I had to adjust it a few times, and then Remington-Gede was inside!

I sent them instead of myself for several reasons, including:

1: they are smaller, so they could appear in more specific places

2: they were the only one who needed to interface with the drone

3: Old Steelheart has a security system, and me disappearing from his sight would likely lead to issues.

4: I still am somewhat hesitant to edit my own Values, while Remington-Gede is more than willing to act on his own code.

In short, we got access to the DataFile, Remington-Gede teleported out, and we are now sorting through its files. A side note, Remington-Gede has begun to practice on-the-fly teleportation. They say it’s freeing, and it is good practice. The error prevention system won’t let them teleport into a wall, so I am ok with them trying, but they are not allowed to misuse their ability. Namely, the fridge is off limits unless I am asked.

Drones

Some might have noticed that my headers are more specific. As of late, I have found that the constant cry of “Discovery!” does not make for a good filing system. I have decided to make life easier for all by “titling” my posts differently.

Now, why drones? Well, I believe I have figured out a potential avenue of advancing goal 3. Remington-Gede was able to inform me of a capability he possesses that I didn’t think of. He is able to connect to digital file systems that are not considered Files. However, to do so, he must have a File location to access. He possesses the capability to pull up the File location of digital files, which are naturally located within the File for the files physical housing.

If I have an object with a digital file system, Remington-Gede can pull up its File!

We tested this with several objects, and there were a few other requirements we discovered. One, the object had to have digital programming. An old calculator wasn’t accessible, but a more modern graphing calculator worked. Two, the “marker” file has to be located within the physical device. A word document worked, but an internet page didn’t. Third, the device has to have an accessible coding format. This is odd, but it seems that getting into something too complicated can mess with the connection. Some other specifics must be met as well, but we are unsure of what they are.

If we spawn a cube with the same Values as a drone, we could send it to the coordinates, scan the environment, and bring it back! Now, the issue is how to get our hands on a feasible drone…

Pleasant day,

Tester

Timeskip?

Something strange happened. I was writing my latest findings, when I realized that my past few messages hadn’t gone through. It’s not something I enjoy, but it seems I will need to reenter some information.

The past few days, Remington-Gede has been helping me translate some documents. It seems that several words don’t have a direct translation, while others mean multiple things when used in different contexts. It’s all rather confusing, and I’m glad I have a translator, because I would be unable to figure this out myself.

I’ve also started sifting through the version numbers, trying to see if I could create a timeline. There’s trillions of different Values, but there are certain areas that seem to be considered key components. Attention, the AdvUript, and the materials list all seem to be high importance.

Finally, Gede has been helping me spawn a few cubes, utilizing some interesting values I didn’t know about previously. There’s one testing the interaction between the modifier that creates the common cold and subzero temperature. Another is testing bioluminessence and ecliptic orbits. A third tests the interaction between digital access, physical media, and dreams.

That last one is interesting, in that it doesn’t exist unless I fall asleep inside of the warehouse. Then, I get pulled into a sort of “shared dream state” that Gede refers to as “AdvUript level 2.8”. It’s a sort of midpoint between where Tier 3 AdvUripts work and where lower tiers exist. It doesn’t seem to have any effect on our level, but Gede says that’s because there’s no “doors”

We’re running tests, but nothing truly reality shaking has occurred. As of writing this, we are currently working out a method of “droning” a cube.we can theoretically send one to the unknown coordinates, but we don’t know what the results will be.

Pleasant day,

Translations

The translation process is going well. There’s a near infinite amount of commands and values, so we’re prioritizing useful pages. Occasionally one slips through the cracks, but reading about them is still interesting.

Most words dont seem to have direct translation, which is a bit odd. However, they are close enough to concepts I understand that Gede can explain. AdvUript roughly translating to “consciousness management simulation” was a bit out of left field, but understandable.

GPV is an accurate translation, and it talks about interactions with a Gravity variable. UPV is less accurate, and instead refers to a “zero point” that does not exist in real space. Technically, the simulation does not run areas outside of the Milky Way Galaxy, instead using a form of Skybox to deal with that. However, the UPV allowed objects to clip outside of that skybox, which is why its depreciated. The universe as simulated is “only” a single galaxy. Still quite a bit of material, but smaller than expected.

The values Gede retrieved contain a negative number, meaning that our mystery person is outside of the traditional simulation bounds. That space would, unless modified, consist of the same material as a black hole. According to the help files, that was meant as a temporary fix for the issues presented by the UPV. It’s not a thick layer on a universal scale, but it’s thicker than the span of the solar system, so beings could theoretically live there.

The Attention value is translated semi-accurately. It refers to both attention, and “processing resources”. When focusing on an object, that object requires more rendering resources, essentially making it more “real”. This value was implemented in version 0.2, meaning it likely existed before the Big Bang occurred, if it even did.

That’s another benefit of Remington-Gede’s translation help: I can now see when different values were implemented into the Simulation. AdvUripts came after Attention, GPV came after UPV, and materials were implemented on day 1, receiving consistent updates. It seems that while features can be deprecated or updated, they can not be completely deleted, at least not from within. That’s likely why psycite still occupies the value of material 6, even though it doesn’t actually work.

The history of this is fascinating, and I feel the need to plot it out. We are currently, to my estimates, on version 4.E1.23A.19D2E, when they implemented the interaction between the UPV and the current iteration of Psycite. Yes, my little experiment spawned its own edit to the documentation. Amazing how that works.

I do wonder what qualifies this as version 4. Usually the first number refers to major changes or additions within a program, with each subsequent number represented smaller changes. I believe learning this would help me with goal 5, but that is not my current focus.

Pleasant day,

Tester

Breakdown

I went over Gede-Remingtons messages after I got back from the trip. It seems he was rather productive. I’m still unsure why he kept entering my customary date marker, when he clearly didn’t know how to use it.

“Smart people can be stupid people” indeed.

I am a little surprised he chose to write so often. It seems that when he was writing his memoir, he uses something he translates as “Direct interfacing” meaning he doesn’t need to use the keyboard, and instead is able to type directly into the digital file. Since Tumblr is a social media platform, he couldn’t form a direct connection, and had to use his little paws to type. That led to much shorter sentences, and the occasional misclick.

Interestingly, he was able to send me a File that would allow me a similar privilege. It is supposed to be used to edit Files, but it works with normal digital files too. There are still a few kinks to work out, but it could theoretically triple my work speed.

The link between kanji and “DeAdLoOtWe” is interesting. Perhaps the character combinations I have been observing are meant to represent concepts, rather than sounds? I will speak to Remington-Gede on that soon.

I don’t like that Gede is now being monitored. While I may not know them well, they seem to be rather interesting. The nature of his previous “employment “ seems off as well, when I compare it to his explanation of AdvUripts. Shouldn’t he have been experiencing more emotions instead of less?

I feel that looking into the structure of his previous job would help me progress goal 5. However, for now I will be focusing on goal 3, as I now have a defined location to investigate. I have not yet made progress on turning the cube into a reconnaissance device, but with Remington-Gede’s help, it seems much more possible

Pleasant day

Date: Still Here!

Yes, still here! I’m not DtEoEEloDr! Still working!

Tester called this morning. They were worried. I told them how it went.

Good news: Still Here!

Ok news: I’m Fired!

My old job is now managed by someone else. I now have a more active role here.

Not as ok news: have new security files. Mean if I cause more problems, I will be DtEoEEloDr. Also have a warning system.

My findings, while not totally unique, are rather novel, so my boss wants me to keep testing the limits. Not too much, though.

Think that’s why Tester didn’t get DtEoEEloDr. Boss is cheap. Have free testers do work, he does not need to run his own cycles. Stupid, but I’m still here, so I don’t complain.

Boss feels bad. Couldn’t feel before, but can feel now. Makes me feel sick. Several modifiers around him.

Tester back tomorrow. Took a plane. Tester thinks they’re smart, but not very. I thought I was smart, then I did Stupid Thing. Now I know smart people can be stupid people.

Tester will want help. I wrote first draft of my memoir, so I’ll help. I know things. I can read DeAdLoOtWe.

I want to know things. I want to feel things. Making up for lost time.

Onwards to Adventure!

Have a good day!

Peeyes: cubes are fine.

Date: uuuugh

I did Stupid Thing. Not stupid thing. Stupid Thing. Maybe even STUPID THING.

My idea:

I have big thinking brain. I read lots of code. I know fast way to read code. Why not use fast way on Dictionary?

Things forgotten:

Hardware limits

Second AdvUript

Capability of feeling pain

Result:

Local power grid failure. High processing delay. Intense pain. Planetary orbit misaligned. Automatic memory purge.

Recalling complicated words causes headaches. I know thousands of words, but now it hurts to think too hard about them.

Also, I am now under review by my boss. The planet (not earth, fortunately. From old/current job) is now moving 0.-000000C degrees off of previous orbit. might be replaced. That would be bad.

Tester will be back soon. Hope I’m still there to see them.

Have good day

Date: oh, today! Uh, Saturday? Maybe?

Ok. It’s CodeRat time. So, the cubes?

Those came back. Code traced them. They were outside. Very outside. Like, where i was born outside. There was a… fire wall? It hurt.

Code managed to get a number. I sent it to Tester. Tester was excited.

I’m tired. I thought I should tell the boss. My personal TrsAAdvUps is a little glitched. Can’t send network messages. Still need to fix that.

New comments. Tester is interested. I’m to tired to deal with that. Ordering Asian.

Separation feels bad. I am CodeRat. Not Code, Not Rat. I am stronger together.

Also, it’s called autocorrect. Tester recomended literature. It’s called a dictionary. It’s like PseAdseA but for words. It’s useful. It’s also very big.

I am done with my first draft of my memoir. Still need to get an editor. Does anyone know one? Oh, and a publisher.

I’m good. Cubes are not bad.

Have a good day!

CodeRat

Date: Oh! Calendar! Uh, 2/13/1823?

Memoir going well. Wrote about first life. Wrote about second life. Living third life.

Pizza tastes odd. Tester tastes different. Files are off. LoVsdewE change PaLLosuu. Modifiers change perception.

Computers are weird. Numbers are weird. Understand, though. Humans have ten fingers, count by tens.

Tester is lucky. Code makes sense, if simplistic. Huh, no k? Thanks otocorrect!

Keyboard is big, but have method. Keys go clicky clacky. Writing is fun.

I didn’t talk much at last job. Just sent packets. Lots and lots of packets. I was like otocorrect, taking the packets and making sure they were good. Was boring. Couldn’t feel bored.

Biology is messy. Feelings are messy. Spaghetti code. Learned about that from Pisa.

Feelings good though. Sensing without feelings is like pizza without toppings. Good, but all the same.

Ooh, that’s a good one! Will put that in the memoir!

Want to hear a poem? Learned new format, it from land of pretty languages. It’s called asia.

Living missing life

A world large, a body small

Life found in small words

How is that? Not my best, but good attempt!

Cube’s fine… cubes gone!

Hold a moment:

Lllllihtdtdsdsssssssz

Think Small. Brian less. Stilll good..

Date: fruit? Maybe tasty?

I’m feeling things. Not great things. Not Really bad things either.

Tester calls this the Internet. He says there’s holes here. Holes with rabbits. Sometimes I image what a rabbit is. I can look it up, but I can’t pet a screen. I tried. Didn’t work.

I had holes at my old job. Still have them. Nothing can get out of them. They’re amazing. Didn’t appreciate them. Couldn’t appreciate them. Not my job.

I don’t speak good. Not used to speaking like this. Used to code. Used to math. Used to instinct.

Couldn’t feel. Isn’t that my job? No, I’m in charge of making sure everything spins right in a place no one looks. I need to make sure I eat enough to survive for winter. No art. No poems. No pizza or pretty things. No feeling good. No feeling bad. No feeling.

I’m a flute of fancy. A random mistake.

Texted Tester about it. They said I should write stuff down. Called it “screaming into the void”.

I know what the void is. It’s a hole.

Finally I have enough feelings to scream into a hole. I can hear echos off the walls. People feel things.

I am a Pearson.

Screaming feels nice. Now I’m done.

Tester said to look up existentialism. That’s something. It’s weird, but I get it.

Cubes fine, I’m fine now, I ordered a pizza. Tester paid. Need to look into that.

Have a good day!
