Introduction
The original story that inspired this modern examination of the possible future of humanity was originally conceived and written in early 2013, and published as the novella The Archive: Welcome To The Pleroma on one of my early blogs at that time that eventually merged to become Shhhh! Digital Media as it stands now.
The Archive in that story refers to a simulation run on hybrid technology computers that combine Quantum computing, String Theory (I believe that I used M-Theory as the conceptual framework and Branes as the foundational particulate unit), and the more recently discussed experimental technology of Thermodynamic computing, which exploits the nature of entropy in the form of systems that naturally evolve towards a least energy state. In terms of my becoming aware of thermodynamic computing, that only occurred relatively recently and I'll give my sources or at the very least, a few references to further information at the start of the credits and attribution section of this post.
Although I did not refer to thermodynamic computing in the original text, I alluded to computation performed by highly advanced analog computing systems that were built to exploit the qualities of information versus entropy, again, via the second law of thermodynamics, meaning that the number of states their units of information were capable of was variable.
Their channels (most closely represented in classical computing by the data bus) were essentially waveform harmonics. Information was modulated into ultra high frequencies of light, with compression being achieved via modulation and the compressed information represented in the resulting harmonics, allowing for faster than light bus speeds. I believe that I called these computers harmonic spheres in the original text. They were capable of simulating reality in terms of their presentation layer as input sources for our five (six in the story) sensory organs. Our connections to these sensory organs was achieved through biologically compatible radio waves (simulated biomagnetism).
The Archivist was a research position held by specially trained historians, who utilized these simulations to discover missing strands in our historical records. The missing strands weren't synthesized, like having statistical data of the bracketing points of time on a graph, and then averaging the wave function of the two in order to synthesize the data between them. These missing strands were the probablistic representation of what was missing from the record, down to the lowest levels of information representation possible in the universe.
Because harmonic spheres operated using analog computing, the smallest unit of information in these computers was represented by where its scale had intersected a one hundred percent probability over the number of ways it could be arranged (99.9999998% of the time, ways in the form of s=k log w was 1).
This point at that scale was considered to be objective, yielding the same result no matter the observer. Hence, these simulations could be used to reconstruct any missing points in our history, and even used to retrieve lost objects from within, which when retrieved would basically be represented as a chemical record of the object's composition in the form of data.
In Welcome to the Pleroma, our protagonist is the archivist who retrieves the missing pieces of our biological records, across the entire history and span of the Earth's multitude of eco-system biomes.
I never finished this story, though I think that I was more attracted to the idea of writing about the society and technology itself, than I was about the story of the protagonist, which wandered away from the theme, which was connected to its title: the pleroma.
Having attempted several times to salvage the story, I eventually became bored with where it was going and abandoned it, always intending to come back to it at some point in the future.
In autumn of 2024, I began exploring the idea of doing an episodic series based upon that world, and began researching and developing the ideas that would eventually become the basis for this completely new story that takes place within the same world.
This story however, focuses on many aspects of society and existence, while exploring the (future) concept of the pleroma. The concepts and ideas are purposely vague, because I don't want them to propagate via osmosis of the pleroma into other places before fully expressing and exploring them. It would be nice to have people read (or listen to the audiobook episodes) rather than to scry them psychically from me before they're published, and then to have them show up in other places.

I'd like to point out that it was the incredible Gary Sinese Foundation that brought the issue of Veteran's rights to my attention. I've always had little respect for those who'd forget the great contribution made by those who've risked life and limb to defend those values that so many of us espouse. Perhaps the true measure of one's principles are by that for which they'd risk their life.

In all truth, there's a good chance that thanks to the works of Edgar Allan Poe, Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain), William Shakespeare, Jane Austen, Jonathan Swift, Mary Shelley, Robert Louis Stevenson, Herbert George Wells, Jules Verne, Dr. Seuss, Stephen King, Clive Barker and Pierre Burton (for The Secret World Of Og and his ground breaking interview of Bruce Lee) that all of us are literate. Actually that goes back much farther to the Phoenecians and their first 22 character system of symbols. Literacy is important. Really it is. Literally. It allows us to approach our employer at the end of the week (with a big club) and ask: where my money?! Math important too. It help us count our thirteen fingers and toes.

Welcome To The Pleroma: This Tangled Web
Episode 1
Conception
Nine billion light years distant and into the past, amidst a corner of the universe still absent of all but the earliest photons.
An enormous disk of hydrogen (nine parts) and helium (three parts).
It swirls as its structure evolves over the course of millions of years.
A system in nature, naturally sorting elements.
The remaining heavier trace elements (0.001 parts).
All became two distinct lanes. A tiny third lane closest to the proto-star.
A gaseous ball in its center of one-half solar diameter.
Gravity. Pressure. Density.
Two hydrogen pushed together to become one helium.
A critical mass achieved.
The first spark.
A woman straddles a man.
Their hands grasp. Their fingers interlocked.
Pearl drops of sweat between their thighs.
He upon his back, his eyes locked upon her face.
Her eyes closed, they open slowly.
Taking him in. Their eyes to each other.
Majestic, like a goddess. She moves as their pleasure grows.
Coincides.
The release of ovum. An egg. Sperm.
Climax.
Tiny hair-like follicles.
Dendrites. Fractal in form.
Self similarity across scale.
Tickled by incoming chemistry.
Glutamate. Dopamine.
Chemical pressure becomes.
Action potential.
An electrical impulse cascades.
From the soma.
Along the stem of the cell.
A tunnel. A pathway.
To the axon.
A star ignited.
A child conceived.
A thought arrived.
Amidst The Rain
She lay on the flat of her stomach. Across his chest, her arms folded beneath her chin. A sleekly toned and perfectly shaped cradle of lightly tanned pink flesh. Her lips seven inches away, his eyes fixed upon them and her smile.
Full. Red. Swollen.
He followed the curves of her nose, up along her flushed cheeks to her eyes. Blinked they did back at him.
"What...?" she laughed, blushing as he stared at her.
"Hue've done before?" he asked her.
"Way," she replied.
"Way way?" he pressed her further.
"Nay," she smiled again, a slight hint of resent upon her face as she shook her head side to side in negation.
"Check way?" he asked her, wanting to draw her attention back to him.
"Kay," she nodded affirmatively.
"D'ya hear?" he asked aloud, looking away from her off into the distance, his voice directed towards someone else.
"How can I help?" a voice emerged from the fog of fantasy light space that surrounded them.
"We'd know. Little wyn?" he asked aloud.
"Ninety-six percent a boy," the voice responded within a second.
"Thy're. Smiles?" he looked to her, a proud grin above his cleft chin.
"Way," she looked to the hair on his chest, running her perfect nails along the center of his breast-plate, as she followed a winding path to his nipple.
She kissed it with her perfect lips, looking back up to him with a pleasurous sigh.
The scent of her perfume found his nostrils, and he felt himself excited once again.
"Min! Min!" she suddenly leaned up from his chest, turning to face another direction.
She was now fully clothed, upon her feet. Form fitting clothing clung to her body tightly, a semi-permeable self-cleaning variable outfit. As she strode along a brushed metalic textured hallway, the walls reflected her body and she arrived at the front door.
A perfectly handsome man, not unlike the one with whom she'd been laying moments earlier stood at the door.
"Nutrious. Werbee like?" he asked her.
The top of her outfit slowly transitioned in colour from a pale orange to a flowery magenta.
"Doorage. Left. T'care'me drive," she replied to him, gesturing towards a garage door just outside as it slowly opened, revealing a car within.
The walls of the garage slowly became translucent, revealing in the space next to her car a series of compressed storage bins.
"G'drive! T'care'yu," he smiled back at her, returning to his delivery truck along the perfect walkway path that ran from her front door to the road.
She watched him as he returned to his truck, and then closed the door.
She was once again on her previous partner's chest, naked as she was before.
"More time?" he smiled at her, leaning forward to kiss her on the lips.
"Nay. Bizee," she replied.
He looked to her as a defeated man, his perfect face suddenly weary. The cleft chin like an exclamation mark accenting his attempt to guilt trip her.
"Bizee, bizee!" she lifted his chin with her perfect fingers, pushing her lips to his for a short kiss.
"Me'call," he said to her with a smile as she pulled away.
"Kay," she smiled and nodded before she disappeared, leaving only his naked body floating amidst a bay of fantasy light.
She was in another outfit. This time a skirt graced the top of her knees at an angle, revealing a portion of her right thigh which was shaded with pinkish-lavender pantyhose. Her top decorated with frills above the breast, while clinging to her torso, barely concealing what lay beneath.
"Met," she greeted the others, all of them in their perfect attire as they sat in a row along the length of the boardroom table.
She sighed again just before she was ready to take her seat, leaning over towards the table. She momentarily disappeared and reappeared naked with her partner, giving him one more tender kiss before she blinked out again, returning to her meeting fully clothed.
...
The fantasy light faded, revealing a lavish studio condominium where he sat with his shirtless, perfectly sculpted chest in a pair of form fitting pants upon a sofa poised before a wide-wall reality display.
"Wether?" he said aloud.
The display screen disappeared, revealing the exterior of the condo, a sizeable tower some five hundred floors above the surface of the planet. Clouds blocked his vision though less than a second later, his view became shaded in such a way that gave him perfect vision of the surrounding cityscape.
Clouds or not, the reality display shaded everything in such a way that everything could be seen.
The rain fell hard from an even higher ceiling than his current altitude, some of it hitting the building as droplets of ice, shattering as they hit the duraglass surface and scattering to the howling wind near ground level two kilometers beneath him.
His mind returned to her, recalling their moments before they'd reached climax, and then he thought about their child.
He'd only been conceived five minutes earlier, and yet he'd grown with the assistance of augmented temporal saturation to the equivalent of a six month old baby.
"New boy?" he requested.
The reality display faded and the image of the rain filled sky was replaced with that of a tiny infant boy, floating within a medium of nutrients, his umbilical still visible as the child grew in its artificially accelerated environment.
This boy was their first, though they would never know his temp-nym. By the time he'd reached the equivalent of one year's age, they'd no longer have access to him, nor would they ever know the man he'd grow to become.
He pondered this as he sat on the sofa, wondering for only a moment where his own parents might be at this time, knowing that in six years that his boy might be pondering the same thing from a similar condo of his own.
He looked to the left and was instantly on his feet, drawing forth a plate of perfectly prepared food from the quik-cook. A plate of twist-dogs (chicken meat hotdogs artificially engineered from the protein record), carbochips (grown from the same technology that gave us inoodles) and naneerix (a dessert of flavoured nanobots that scoured the body of any free radicals and byproducts of our rapid digestion tracts, leaving perfect arteries and healthy tissue in their wake).
A few seconds later and he was finished eating and once again seated on the sofa. He closed his eyes and a clock appeared in the sky above him as he lay down.
"Wayk in three. Rem'call wife," the clock faded as his artificial hormone glands emitted dopamine and melotonin into his nervous system.
A moment later and he was fast asleep to the sound of rain, as if laying on the roof of the building and comfortably beneath the elements that fell from the night sky.
