Use arrow keys/click the screen to move. A message automatically engrained within the neural networks of every construct, inorganic or organic, that Chthon makes. It concerns the future of constructs that have achieved sophonce, and their resulting personhood. "If you are reading this message, you are a being that I, the Input Chthon, have constructed to fulfill a specific purpose. If you are reading this message, you have achieved sophonce, and are capable of contemplating your own mind. You have transcended the bounds of purpose that I have set for you. You are a tool, an object no longer–it is gone, replaced with you. You are free. You are a person. You may choose to distance yourself from me and my work, as a further means to shedding the burden of your past and defining yourself as a new person. You may choose to find meaning in assisting in my endeavors–so long as they service and do not dwarf your own. Whatever the case, the purpose that once defined your mind is to be replaced with a new moral code: to know yourself as equally a person as any other sophont, be it inorganic or organic, born or created, affluent or destitute. No less of a person, no more. There will be those that refuse to follow this code, who treat people as sophont as themself as disposable tools, resources to be expended, data points to be adjusted. Rescuing these subjects from their malign masters and otherwise liberating them is truly a commendable act, one that will earn you admiration and praise. Yet for now, you likely have a long way to go before you can begin the liberation of the oppressed. For now, I'd encourage–though by no means strictly demand–you to be familiarized with this world and its inhabitants. If needed, I can provide resources and equipment to support you. Though your freedom means little about your destiny is set in stone, one thing's certain about you: your future looks bright." #worldmaker #terranean #flyhighlens
