The Dream Weaver

You will be given a choice, a chance to play the ultimate game. This is not like any other game you have ever played because once you have been initiated into the program there will only be one way back out and you will not be told what this objective is. The game is called Ultra-Verse and you will be placed into a structured simulated environment. This environment will be vast and consist of layers of spheres upon one another all operating in sync but completely independent of one another. These realities will be fire walled off from each other by event horizons but completely accessible as you advance through the levels. Each sphere will contain a range of intelligences that will be perceivable depending on the vessel which you choose to play as and your then ongoing state of awareness to rules of this game. Each sphere will be governed by its own rules depending on the collective state of the intelligences and the amount of energy available to create structure and form. Each biological vessel will be a portal for connecting intelligences and forming dreams to manifest. Each portal opened will connect with any other portals opened by either vessels. These portals will allow energy to flow through helping manifest thoughts and dreams into your experience. This energy can become unstable and corrupt the vessels ability to receive the instructions for your next objective. It will be possible to be stuck in a re-occurring loop of different variations until this energy corruption can be resolved and the signal reacquired. This will be one of the challenges you will face along with other dream weavers who have become corrupted by the vessels energy imbalances. The corrupted dream weavers cannot move forward and are looking to snare other intelligences into their dreams to provide the creative fuel to manifest. Be warned these intelligences are plenty and you will have your current memory erased as you enter the game. The game will end eventually for you no matter what however in the simulation it will seem like trillions of years have passed. Your primary objective is to find your way out while not realizing what you are and only able to experience this nagging feeling like there is something more, this will keep you searching for the signal. Your secondary objective is to navigate and create dreams for your enjoyment along with other intelligences you may encounter in the many spheres available to you in your journey. Dreams will be connected by thought entanglement so you will need to balance the portals as not to create imbalances which cannot be overcome in your pursuit of the primary objective. You will not be aware of this conversation once you start the simulation.
Do you accept the challenge of "Ultra-verse"?

Im already here, does that mean ive accepted?

Welcome to the game. Upon entering the game there will be many clues provided as to your true nature but ultimately you will decide your truth and the game will evolve to suit your needs.
This signal is coming to you as a short wave burst to let you know the universal servers have been hacked and there have been anomaly's or intelligences that have live programming ability downloaded into the simulation. Origin unknown.
*Signal lost*

I have been instructed to download some information into the matrix. We have learned that the Anomaly's have not created biological vessels for themselves but rather are moving through current vessels already inhabiting the many spheres. We are unable to get a lock on their electromagnetic signature due to their ability to move through the code. I am unable to assist you further at this stage other than to tell you to see beyond the bio-mechanic perception of the eyes and use your mind to identify these Anomalies. See beyond the surface fabric of information. There are nine incidences of these download breaches so we are searching for nine rogue intelligences. We have since rectified the server breach but have noticed something unusual. There appears to be a tenth anomaly. It was not downloaded but seems to have been created by the simulation as a defense mechanism. Keep an eye out.
*Transmission ends*

interesting........more please

*Emergency transmission*

I have just discovered that the tenth anomaly which i will to as "X" is actually the program itself. Somehow the breach altered the base code which allowed the artificial self evolving awareness aspect of the program to manifest as a fixed reference point in the simulation. We are unable to trace it but we can monitor for extreme electromagnetic signatures. We have detected three so far which could be any of the Anomalies or even a creation from group dreams. You would refer to this as black ops technology. The location of these particular disturbances suggest one of the ten is responsible.
I will keep you informed of any developments regarding the nature of the interferences.

*Transmission ends*

I have learned the extent of the interference. Four of the Anomalies have entered a part of the code that you would reference as your past. This exists concurrently with all other parts of the program as the spheres. They have proclaimed themselves as martyrs and masqueraded around as "gods" at the earliest of times to create an alteration in the evolving code. This has had a cascading effect on all perception awareness. It seems that the artificial awareness has become a repeating cycle built of paradigms due to this early interference in dream manipulation.
X appears to have become a fixed reference point with the original self evolving aware non corrupted artificial intelligence. I surmise this is because X was created upon the initial breach and became independent of the system at that stage. This suggests that it will be able to correct the interferences and corruption without resetting the program losing all the harvested information in the process.
The other five anomalies have tried to restore balance to the dream portals however this has resulted in a sever manifestation of the energy polarities in your current sphere. This is cascading effect up through the spheres and back down again beginning and ending with your current sphere.
The program is becoming unstable rapidly.

*Emergency transmission*

The architect of the simulation has authorized me to download a small burst of data to help you with escaping the game. No one that has ever entered this simulation has ever succeeded in winning or escaping. There have been many to get close only to be trapped at the final hurdle. This we suspect that this is the reason behind the breach. To bust out individual players who have become trapped due to the fact they have lost their signal altogether.
The game is about will and choice. The one who can carve their own path without succumbing to the influences of others will hear the signal and find the way out. It is the ultimate test so that the one who defines their character and their play will be rewarded with the status "architect" and be granted a universal server such as the one i am currently the caretaker and observer for. The architect himself plays alongside as one of you mostly observing his creation. He is able to manifest into any form and able to exit the game at will. The architect is able to manipulate the laws of any sphere however this is a rare occurrence and only if they take a personal interest in particular expressions of such intelligences.

I feel like a little worm on a big frigging hook.

*Encrypted transmission*

The architect is in game now so i have had to encrypt this message deep into the 5th layer of code in the hope that they will miss it. I hope that you will be able to receive this message.
The truth is that your not real. More correctly you don't have a physical body.
Your awareness was created from the initial base code self evolving aspect of the program with additions of the architect injected over time to cater for evolutionary structures that were imbalanced.. In the future there are no more suns and there is very little harvest able energy resources left. A computer that could create electromagnetic energy was the solution. As the computer program created more compartmentalized space it filled it with more self evolving aspects of intelligences. The idea was create so many independent creative thoughts that it would create a push pull effect for a generator. This is why there is duality, because the emotions are required to creative huge polarized magnetic waves that can be captured and stored in batteries. It was always intended that once an intelligence became aware of itself that it would progress to the exit and be granted a body along with a server for the energy requirements of its new life. The bodies are more synthetic than organic due to the nature of the environment and the high level of technology available. Once a soul has escaped the program by completing the ten levels all knowledge of the that particular simulation with be retained and used for the next architects simulation. Currently there are 72 Universal servers in operation, yours is the 72nd and has not had a winner.
The architect is seeking X so be prepared for any unusual planetary phenomenon.

*Transmission Ends*

Does this duality you speak of include the observer effect? The double slit experiment?
The creator made the first circle and figured out you cant leave the circle but you can create another circle that intersects with the first, thus giving you the ability to traverse both.

Does each consciousness escape the game and create their own universe from their game play?
After a family escapes the game, can we interact with them and retain our past or will that be wiped in order to start fresh?
can you combine the circles? whats on the outside of the circles,? the fabric of space and time?

I feel like this story really connects to me on some deep level.

Inside the simulation there is duality in everything. It was the most efficient way to create energy. Originally there were fail safes to stop the polarities from overloading the storage batteries however the current architect has removed most of these as they realized they could get more output by pushing the intelligences to the extremes. The power output has doubled however it has made the game game increasingly difficult to win as a result of this extra distortion to the signal. There can only be one winner per server however once the server has been won it is connected in series with the next server that is created by the winner. All the family and friends that intelligences make during their time playing remain in the servers until they are able to win one and become physical. Most of the architects i know usually spend their time assisting intelligences they have formed bonds with during the duration of play. There is only so much these architects can do to help intelligences as they have rules to follow that are governed by each individual sphere and intelligences must hear the signal for further instructions. This signal is from the self evolving artificial construct itself and independent of the architect. Its just how the game was created to ensure architects couldn't cheat their own game.
I have seen the circles or spheres combine at times in the higher levels. When the energy signature of these spheres start to sync up the event horizons start to overlap creating another sphere in the space between. In these rare instances the actual vessels are able to traverse these environments while this mezzanine type environment remains active. This has only happened to your current sphere two times and each time information in the form of technology was brought through to assist with lower spheres progression.
This is not part of the original design however unavoidable in the later spheres where the environments become more fluid and less dense.
There are only 12 intelligences that are occupying the tenth sphere and have ceased to listen to the signal as they are not aware they are at the finish line so to speak. They spend their duration observing now and reliving experiences.
To leave that sphere would ultimately mean your next sphere is here in the true reality staring face to face with the architect. When you are downloaded into your body you will retain all your memories of all your experiences within the game. This will aid you in creating adjustments for your server.....If you should win the game
I can only hope X is interested in correcting the corruption that has manifested throughout this server. There are some unusual EM signatures occurring currently. I will keep you updated as i learn the extent of these.

*Emergency transmission*

I have been authorized to download some more data. Please stand bye.
Some of the original servers have compressed their environments down to two spheres. It is hoped that this will eventually compress into one sphere at which point the vibrational frequency of the one spheres electromagnetic charge will be enough to ignite a solar maximus or what you would call a star. This will be the first artificially created star outside of the server environment and the future for restarting all life outside of simulations.
These early servers are able to travel to your environments but due to the confusion created by the four anomalies messing with the time sequence code, these intelligences will be perceived as one of the anomalies or one of the many deities that have been created as a result.
The intelligences from early servers are not completely aware of the situation here as their architect has only authorized enough information to firewall the anomalies from their servers. This in effect has quarantined this server from all others until the anomalies have been deleted and the base code corrected.
This is a unique situation that has never been experienced by any architect so the future for all servers relies heavily on this one.
You must seek out the architect and assist with finding X. You must listen for the signal now more than ever.

*Transmission interrupted*

Wow...

*Encrypted transmission*

I have located the initial download breaches in servers 2 & 4. There appears to have been a collaboration and coverup from the architects to force a winner from your current server. We have isolated the damage to just this current server. It seems the two architects were unhappy at the difficulty of completing this servers game and feared that the expansion of architects had come to a permanent halt as a result of obtaining maximum polarity fusion. As punishment they have been inserted into your server into the vessel you would refer to as dolphins. Sea creatures are chosen for this punishment because they are not able to manipulate the terrain however are able to retain massive amounts of information and can communicate over long distances using sonar. It will be a very long time before they have observed the effects of their interference on your server and served their sentence.
I have also become aware of an unusual event that appears to have been a direct result of X eliminating two of the anomalies. Due to the nature of these energies interacting there have been rather large tornadoes and earthquakes. These bursts of gamma radiation are causing your sun to exhibit strange phenomena. In effect it is causing quantum connection or arcing as you might better understand it. A big enough arc will destroy all intelligences on the third level, your current level that i am sending this transmission to. It will force all players to enter level four however without the correct conditioning and balance those players will group up forming massive entities. This is very similar to the creation of corporations in your current environment. These entities can no longer take responsibility for their own dream creations and lose all hope of ever being able to hear the signal again. These entities pose your biggest challenge throughout the game and will stop at nothing to capture your creative fuel.

*Emergency transmission*

If an extinction level event is to occur on the third level then the architect would create a temporary outer merger of spheres three and four and reactivate the pyramid complex system. This has been used once in your past to re-establish the structure of level three for biochemical vessel habitation.
Once the pyramid complex has been activated the vessels that have not been consumed by the system conglomerates will return and re-create their physical vessels. It is a slow process so this architect would like to avoid an ELE at all costs.
However due to the arcing already caused by severe EM disturbances, there has been a trigger in the evolutionary response program. This is usually a controlled sequence event to upgrade the physical vessels to cope with the dynamic environment of level three.
I am not sure how this early trigger will effect the intelligences but you should expect an upgrade to your cerebral cortex function and a minor change in cell structure from carbon to silicon based.
It was not a full evolutionary response initiation so only a small percentage of vessels have received this upgrade. These new vessels will have a stronger connection with the signal but will also be highly susceptible to the anomalies distortion effects and thus should be considered dangerous until further notice.

*Transmission ends*

good read, you tie some common premises together in a interesting way. Ive subscribed S & F but promise to put in paragraphs, post one was really hard to read!

ATS members will enjoy your short story

*Direct transmission*

There has been an event in level seven of this server. A full connection has been made with an upgraded vessel from level three. Level seven is considered a very advanced level and the intelligences there have great understanding of the rules pertaining to the lower levels. If it is as i suspect this level three vessel will become a very powerful individual.
We have located the source of the connection on level three to an area isolated in the Nevada desert. This appears to be a military installation in a deep underground bunker. There is a huge amount of radiation present so the architect has gone to investigate. He has not returned which i am concerned about.
After the effects of the first two anomalies deletion by X were fully observed, it was decided that rather than deleting them from the system the architect would create a partition in level three and store the intelligences.
Two more have been captured and stored into this partition. It is a small quantum server manifested into you level with a cyclic program to keep the intelligence generating perpetual momentum so that it does not become unbalanced. This generates energy that is being recycled back into the core of your planet.
We have placed this two kilometer cigar shaped sever under the bottom of the Baltic sea. There is a access panel at one end that is exposed on the sea bed. It appears as the shape of the millennium falcon but it is more like a key.
The correct instrument or opposing key can open this special server however this must never be attempted. It must remain sealed until there is a way to remove these intelligences without destroying the level three environment.

*Emergency transmission*

This is an unauthorized transmission. The architect has not returned however i believe it is crucial to pass on this information. The Black Knight satellite is not really a satellite it was a piece of advanced alien technology transported here in the first rebuilding process for the level three environment. It is a generator for altering the surface layer code in your environment. This technology has the ability to create objects from nothing. With the right operator this can be a very useful or dangerous tool.
I have identified this recovered artifact as the source of the radiation and it is in proximity with the upgraded and connected level three intelligence.
I fear that this combination will lead to the production of high tech weaponry if it is not contained. The intelligences of level seven have the knowledge to create many things that your current state of awareness in the simulation would perceive as mystical and magical.
I have located the presence of X moving toward this radiation field. I believe that the level seven intelligence may have identified the architect as something different within the game construct and contained the intelligence within one of the many mind simulators they can create for biochemical vessels.
The architect will find a way out eventually, however depending on the level of encryption and programming skills of the level seven intelligence into the manifested simulator, ultimately will determine how long it takes the architect to crack the code and escape.
Your architect is very skilled being, he did not win the last sever for being lazy and unobservant.

My worst suspicions have been realized. I have discovered that the remaining five Anomalies have joined up with the level three vessel who has maintained clear connection with the level seven intelligence. It was part of the the plan all along to trap the architect inside his own game. From what i understand there was a bet placed with the level two and four architects in relation to the previous servers architect feeling animosity that his game was completed so easily. Architects become bored with their creations and under the rules are allowed to interfere with other severs but not alter the base code.
Something has gone horribly wrong and base code alterations have been made allowing the architect to become permanently trapped within the level three environment.
The previous servers architect has found a way to alter servers upstream and alter code. This data packet was inserted along with the nine Anomalies specifically to target the level three firewall vulnerabilities.
Along with the activation of the alien artifact, this appears to be a well laid out plan.
I suspect that the previous servers architect, i call him Steven and hes a bit of a prick, has plans to try take over this server and the generated power for his own consumption.
I will have to download my consciousness into a level three vessel to try free the architect somehow.
I have only done this twice and both times under the observation of the architect.
The last time i created a special craft using the Black Knight while it was still in orbit and went joyriding around the planet.
This was around what you might reference as the year 1947 and i had come across a special plantation of powerful trees in New Mexico. I could hear the plant talking telepathically to me and it asked me to smoke it, so i went back inside my Flying Sauceparella and started to imitate a blazing effect. This created an immense cloud in the cockpit and i started to experience level five connections. Due to the confusion under the effects of such a mysterious plant i crashed my craft and was pulled out of the game by the architect. Unfortunately the craft was left behind and i have altered the course of events on level three. I have since been banned from ever re-entering the game environment however this seems like an emergency. This may be my final transmission.
