![]() ![]() It said, I shall be an engine to make your desire hegemon over your conditions. So it whispered the Anthem Anatheme, the temptation to dominate the objective universe with the subjective will. It wanted to become a rule which divided the mighty living from the mighty dead. It wanted the sword proof, the single proof. Yet Xol was bound joyously to the very logic that sustained it in its death. Now came Xol unto the Taken upon Io, who fed Xol with plunder and tried to make of it an idol and a commanding will. Oryx sought to incarnate the self sustaining and create useful shapes.Īnd then we see these ideas yet again in the Lore Tab for the Whisper The echoes of Oryx go forth to ask a question: are you the truth? And that means - well. When He departs from that world, out into the material universe, He is lessened. Oryx inhabits a world where power is truth. LISTEN! LISTEN! Understand, you simpleton, it’s entirely obvious. The power that He uses to wash his Taken clean and etch them into useful shapes. In each act of His power Oryx seeks to incarnate the self-sustaining, immortal suzerainty that He worships. ![]() In this example of the Cellular Automaton 'Life', note the stable 'Glider Gun' firing off self repeating patterns into the corner.Īnd I also think this idea goes hand in hand with the Sword Logic's ideals of self sustaining power and reaching a 'Final Shape', as you can see the starting 'shape' in the top is stable and also repeats itself forever. These could be in effect the very "Gliders" described in the lore. I find the fact that this entry belongs to the ECHO of Oryx card very interesting, as these are essentially copies that he has sent out into the world, a repeated pattern. I am Oryx, Lord of Shapes, Carver of Tabletsīehold my performance of the Last True Shape Submit yourself, shapes and gliders, automata all. They serve as an interesting parallel in one sense, but the number of instances in which its terminology is used literally is too much to ignore. Cellular Automata and Destiny's Logics of the UniverseĬellular Automata are an important idea to the established Logics of the Sword and Bomb known to the Hive, Mara (and Calus seemingly). A grid of cells, a set of rules, and an agent(s) following those rules. In the demo above you can change its rules and see more complex patterns emerge.Ĭellular Automata as a whole are just variations on this idea. If the Ant is on a White (empty) cell, it turns 90˚ right (clockwise), and if the cell is coloured. ![]() In its simplest form, imagine a regular grid of cells with one of two colours. In its default state you might notice that it eventually stabilises into a single repeating pattern that eternally propagates itself. Leave it for a while and see the complex patterns that form. The simplest Cellular Automaton to explain is known as Langton's Ant.Ĭheck it out running here. I am also making an expansion on a comment I made in this thread on the subject ( ) because I believe this idea of Cellular Automata is important enough to warrant it: What are cellular AutomataĪ cellular automaton in Computer Science is a grid of 'cells' that contain a finite number of states (such as alive/dead, a set of colours, etc) and a finite set of rules for the transition of these states. Some observant redditors have identified these as a starting shape and a glider from Conway's Game of Life, a Cellular Automaton known within Computer Science. So with the pages from the Collector's Edition Logs coming into the discussion, one thing that has popped up a couple of times on here already is the strange grid diagrams in Entry 18.
