Thor sits down at an antiquated computer terminal somewhere in Valhalla. Odin is the other entity in the room, at the table, drinking whisky and being relaxedly belligerent but not as thrash-hearted as Thor. Odin, pickled, asks "How are those primates doing?", and belches a little.
Thor, in a voice that would make Brian Blessed appear not at all bombastic, sez. "Let me pull up their current physics tables. Oh, this is miserable."
Odin's single eye was grinning, but his face was a junkyard. "Oh ah?"
"They're still trying to, albeit quite pathetically, unify all forces. Many of them still think that there's a particle which creates mass."
Odin coughs "That old chestnut? What percentage of primate civilizations end up with that dead end?"
Thor states "About 15% to 25% generally, according to Freya's last survey in the universes we are responsible for. You'd think that once they got to 24 dimensional filiform Lie algebras the thing would be obvious, but some of the theoretical sandcastles which their physicists make tend to be beguiling enough they lose track of the actual physics of the thing."
Odin pours another shotglass of whisky. "Fine. I'll have Loki muck around with their experimental apparatus. They could use a Loki break"
Thor groans.

Usilartu Temple at Thyxeothyre
Thyxeothyre, the tiny island about five thrasmeres out on the Thyrrine sea, is host to the Usilartu Temple, holy to members of the Usilartu religion: which has been dead for at least five nahambes. The temple is constructed of nanomachines, which constantly rearrange its internal architecture: there are buttresses and gantries and cantilevers and extruded pillars and cast pillars with constantly shifting fluorescent and phosphorescent paintings and micromosaics featuring various scenes from the Usilartu mythopoieome: Urtec and Celmaeus at the bridge having the discussion about eventual mistakes and ungifted abrogations. Urtec at the ruins discussing the passage of coincidences with the Three Happenstances, Hayaguno -- the chance of the past, Arapikua, the chance of the present, and Mylbirion, the chance of the future. The Transcendescence of Hyomua, the Transcendescence of Chikonkoa, The Fall of the Nymartielia, Celmaeus discussing the Art of Continuances and Redivisions with the Scoccon God Orahauminabel. The architecture of Usilartu features escarpments, promontories of stone and other temporarily assembled materials. Occasionally the nanomachines build fractal dodecafoams and Sierpinski tetrahedra.
In the First Atrium, there is a statue -- not made from nanomachines -- scupted by Aranseptes Miohongoles, representing Chikonkoa's posttranscendental biome. She is depicted floating five spans
off the plinth, in her right hand there is a scroll with the four Bephragmere identities, and in her right hand there is a yavgale. The yavgale is not pleasant to look at -- it is not composed of corrugated sphelemite like the rest of the statue but of some other make of nanomachines. It is about half a meter in size and its surface is roiling with tiny dark pinpricks swarming in many directions. This is one of a sequence of statues -- in the Second Atrium, Chikonkoa has thrown the yavgale on the floor, and the yavgale is now depicted as a filamentous sequence of rivulets of bulbous, highly reflective metal arranged organically, gently swaying back and forewards. In the Third Atrium, there is no statue of Chikonkoa, but the yavgale has burst from its chrysalis, begun to grow like coral -- the shape of the hatched monsposiorb is reminiscent of the metal sculpture in the Second Atrium.
There are a number of Urtec quotes here and there, written in High Yalgonese. One of the most frequent is "Utter unending trirefringence predicts the past, but the future is seen in the yoghurt".

differential overforest
Oh, yeah. I'm not sure how long transpired between the arrival and the departure: I wasn't paying attention. I was distracted. I managed to find? Not sure. Little fragmentary syllables here and there. Barely around: barely prepared. It felt like vapor, a thin plume of awareness coiled around my attention and just kind of sprawled around my subconsciousness for a while. My glasses broke; I had, I think, been overly cautious, but I'm not sure at the moment: it was like great disc, a sort of warble, a copper kettle in the city, large, maybe twenty meters in diameter. I tell you: I saw something: lots of gin blossomed bishopry? I wasn't really paying attention to the visual ornateness of it all so much as the feel, which seemed to be slotted in at an impossible angle, and then I fell, or flew: and I hit the angle that the mysterious copper kettle building and the gin blossomers and the girl in the hotel room and the guy with the suitcase all sort of lined up so that the angle wasn't impossible and then things got so odd that my consciousness just said "look, I'm going out now, I'll see you at intermission, mmkay?", and well...
Much later, when I could start applying logic and perhaps try to assign meanings to the experience, I guess I didn't realize exactly how far my perspective had been wrenched up. It's difficult to keep to earthly things when your line to the ethereal is dependable. Like pizza and chocolate milk and tea and whatnot. Sometimes I look for pieces of bismuth in a sea of lego. I've seen glints here and there on occasion. But mostly I get back to the pizza and the tea and the ascii bombykol and just meander back down to the Pund and the Sahallangke and whatnot, and it's not very filling. And then I hear something that hits and reminds me and I go on one of these tangents. I probably should be bearing to sleep.

the classification
There is a mythological classification of orders of being
They say that there are three: the Opai, the Bravy, and the Toht:
One becomes Opai. Opai recognize each other. "You have become Opai";
One ceases to be Bravy, one forgets.
The Toht are harder to explain. The Toht are all those that are neither Opai nor not Opai
and neither Bravy nor not Bravy.
One constantly becomes Opai, both in the specific act of becoming Opai, and the general march
across the great chain of being. One constantly ceases to be Bravy, and one is neither Toht nor not Toht.

minor remark train
Naardu Weulxgronteho is subumbral to the Altahyra probability shelf: a submersed event sheave which straddles the Eichthune and Anutpatsehai cordaillures and is transjacent to the Salcrusaro divide, two gigathrontears from Ahoesmie and Boschbanau, niombent to Araschumbe, and across from the Dulximu protopiary. Weulxgronteho is the origin of the Belphunu river:
The Belphunu river south of Polspelego has forests and grasslands to the
side and most of the freshwater fishing industry around Polspelego is
intent on the tiny Laurpicids which inhabit the Belphunu -- they are a
freshwater fish that is the protein staple in Polspelegonese cuisine,
but it is only possible to catch them between two am and three am, so
the fishers who don the orange suits that are their historical garment
are constantly saddened because they cannot easily witness the beauty of
the Belphunu and its embankments, as beyond the ruins of the Starrash
their is no evidence of human inhabitation, and the natural beauty is
unspoiled. The fields outside Belphunu are grassy and with many bright
indrigess flowers, home of chipmunks and other small, inexorably cute
mammallian fauna. The areas around the forests of the Belphunu river
have occasional campgrounds only available via hovercar, and during the
summers many a children's camp operates in them. The Belphunu grasslands
are maintained in trust in between the Polspelego polity and the
Narrantoma prefecture, at the other end of the Belphunu river, near its
delta onto the Great Thyrrine Sea.
The rangers that maintain the natural
environment are a hardy bunch and it is unwise to enter a disagreement
with them. In recent years the naturalist L. Arrague Greenknees has
produced a series of documentaries about the butterflies which inhabit
the Belphunu grasslands and forest. Because of increased ecological
interest in Polspelego and Narrantoma, it is likely that there will be
more tourist interest in the river, and this is a source of great
consternation amongst naturalists: more human involvement beyond the
campgrounds and the Laurpicid fishing will eventully result in the
spoilage of the Belphunu, and it is widely suspected amongst parties in
the know that the Belphunu and the surrounding areas have less then a
hundred years free from human activity, given the rate of expansion of
Polspelego and Narrantoma.

the Dvaud.
Aldvar Ehunoevec was born on the 7th day of the 15th month of the 32nd year past the Cohembrium of Palmonstil in Yehursehto, north of Canahai and west of the Urun river. Now, in the 24 million years that span the History of Tehktoris, Ehunoevec might have been just another salanquin riding the currents of time, except for the bimonthly encounters he had with the Dvaud. For some reason that escapes most holonomers of Tehktoris, the Dvaud found Ehunoevec extremely interesting.
Who are the Dvaud? The Dvaud are are species of post-etherealized beings who are rhombent in this filament of spacetime. They exist on neutrinos and muons and red quarks in a very circumscribed fashion, and may, by application of impression on various subatomic particles in the nervous system, produce perception of their presence. They have historically taken a hands off approach to interfacing with the societies of the ramshackle, and the last entity they took interest in was Mhutigue Pahahao Corzo-Bfauthyrre, 35 million years ago, a selestossind of the Yozari parlance. We know that the Dvaud exist. We know that their interest can be piqued, but it is rare for it to be, and the conditions and personages that interest the Dvaud are scant in time and sparsely separated in space. From Mhutigue's diaries, we know that the Dvaud are interested in something they call "the elephrosmic acaulept", which is apparently not a one-dimensional concept. Mhutigue goes into great detail defining what one-dimensional concepts are, ones that are associated with paths, or homotopies between paths, or homotopy groups, or sequences of instructions, or programs, or data structures, and makes a great deal of emphasis that the elephrosmic acaulept isn't one of them.
Aldvar's diaries and data entries (written in Kalkari minor) also speak of the elephrosmic acaulept. The Dvaud (via Aldvar) express concern about the umarity (?) and the phosmence (?) and the fluorence (?) of the local sculpting. They say that they aren't aware of any other major transclusions except the crystalline one, and are pleased with the event shuffling, but say that the distressed terminus doesn't appear to merit any bivouacking, and because of that, the epochal spline might have to be renewed post-haste. The Dvaud say that the anticipated Leuxis occurred as scheduled, and that the Mononguly was appraised in full, and that (barring their own crypticity), all records are publically available. One oddity though, one of the last entries in Aldvar's diaries, written a few months before he died of thuonic charagosis, said "the feud transcripted last by Mhutigue between this polity and the Transquilaterals has been satisfactorily resolved as of 10Mya: emphasis: Ascarthenvalwar and Uathwaru may transculpt to Wahataraung without impediment!"

qwek?
The genocide at Sargumdo that occurred between the 9th of Ussuary and the 19th of Fomtember of the Yalhai was secretly monitored by the Beljunu-Tiemdolo organization and their findings were released in real time over several major intergalactic data trunks. The use of Yal-4 devices was prohibited under the Treaty of Kiunbu, and their use by the Aschtutl-Gerafirminade was widely percieved as being a war-crime of major proportions.
The Aschtutl-Gerafirminade are a species of lambda calculus compilers which live on the hypercontrollers of gravity-modifiers and convert large sequences of lambda calculus source code into a ternary executables which are then deployed via the hypercontroller to the gravity-modifier, allowing for custom high-specificity spacetime curvature tensor sculpting to allow rapid transit between orbital substations and faster-than-halo orbit traversals of solar systems and whatnot. The Beljunu-Tiemdolo report found:
The Aschtutl-Gerafirminade's governance determined the necessity of deploying a Yal-4 device of moderate yield in the stratosphere of Sargumdo. The Yal-4 device detonated at 0:19:22 pcfl on the 9th. The Yal-4 device released search-and-replace bits of exotic matter into the ecosystem of Sargumdo with the following instruction sequence:
day 1: convert all atoms of iron into nickel
day 2: disrupt all pi bonds
day 3: convert all atoms of sulfur into rhenium
day 4: replace all down quarks in neutrons of Boron with strange quarks
END
The obvious effect of the Yal-4 device was the complete elimination of all biologicals on Sargumdo. The Mlonsivo Group has been pattern-locking and impounding hypercontrollers that contain Aschtutl-Gerafirminade firmware with the intent of determining which Aschtutl-Gerafirminade were responsible and what exactly was their reasoning. At the time of the genocide, there was a Wrieskiethke research lab on the north polar region -- the Wrieskiethke are postbiologicals with type qfr2 quantum foam bodies and weren't recognizable to the search-and-replace bits of the Yal-4 device -- but they managed to create roving recognizers of exotic matter capable of filtering out the search-and-replace bits, which is fortunate because they managed to save some of Sargumdo's ecosystem. Fortunately, for the sentient, pre-sapient Chakthe civilization that had some dealings with the Wrieskiethke, the Mhalangra's research satellite was able to take a planck-verity octoscopic quantum image of it and dump it to the local portion of the metanet before the first wave of changes happened. Some Vlyssanghai engineers may be able to give them quantum foam bodies before too long.
The jurisdiction for the prosecution of those individuals of the Aschtutl-Gerafirminade is a little unclear. Beljunu-Tiemdolo's editorialist, Surglonois Toer-Gassilganar says that the authority to prosecute lies solely with the GDXU-3 echelon of the eigenghourssaag in this tier (18/3f) of the Grand Congress for Symbolic Life, whose representative is Gal-(hyhecto):/bin/interface and who is working with the Mlonsivo group. Hyhecto sez: "Although we have not been able to identify the causation functionals nor the beta reductions that were responsible for some subset of the Aschtutl-Gerafirminade engaging in unprovoked war crimes, we believe that we have a candidate subset of the Aschtutl-Gerafirminade who were a party to those decision streams and beta reductions. Candidate punitions involving delinking the higher executable code from the experiential/sensorial interfaces and then assigning the at-fault Aschtutl-Gerafirminade to some low level contritiogenic periodic task farming situation are already being discussed, amongst other, less transparent methods.
