(001 Video)

[At precisely 12:00 PM down to the second, the video feed opens on a shot of a table, where sit two people:Hakuno Kishinami and Yaha-kui zaShunina. Behind them, a whiteboard reads: “Anisotropy: An Introduction”.]

I am aware that it is considered customary to initiate a presentation with an introduction of the speakers involved. I am Yaha-kui zaShunina.

And I’m Hakuno Kishinami. [She gives a small wave and a faint smile.] I’m here to help break down what Yaha-kui wants to explain to everyone.

As a basis for this explanation, I will call this world that exists in three dimensional space ‘the Universe.’ I originate from a space outside of this Universe known as Novo. It possesses a greater number of spacial dimensions than the Universe, and in this language, it would translate to ‘Anisotropic.’ I will now present a demonstration.

[One of Yaha-kui zaShunina’s arms emerges from beneath his cloak and rests upon the table… before everything from the elbow-down vanishes from sight--swirling, golden fractals dancing over the point of severance rather than exposed muscle and bone. A few feet away, the detached segment of arm reappears to grasp a water bottle before vanishing once again, only to return to its place connected to zaShunina’s body, water bottle still in hand.]

It’s a bit like taking a short cut, through those extra dimensions!

[zaShunina turns to look at Hakuno, and though he opens his mouth to correct her translation, he just as quickly closes it again to return his attention to the camera, nodding. What’s important here is the accessibility of the explanation to as many people as possible. Inaccuracies can be corrected later.]

The anisotropic exists adjacent to every point within the universe.

Once one has a perception of the anisotropic, it becomes possible to utilize these additional dimensions. The purpose for this explanation is to present the possibility for Prismatica to employ anisotropy in its advancement.


For the record, though, the technology that’s needed in order for non-Novo… residents? Novans? [ She frowns, mulling it over for a moment, before shaking her head.] We’ll work on the phrasing. That aside, the technology used to help people who aren’t natives of Yaha-kui’s world do things like this wasn’t brought over at arrival. This is mostly theoretical explanations, as well as a foundation for if or when that technology can be recreated.

We will designate this span of time to respond to inquiries.

(Questions will be answered either by Hakuno, zaShunina, or both.)

I'm sure there's all sorts of applications for that kind of technology, but I have to ask -

Why do you care about advancement for this place? What about using it to send us all home?

Damn interestin'.

[science boner rISING]

What was the tech like? The tech that let non-natives do what you do, I mean.
hopefanatic: (Hm...)

[As fascinating as this might be, Nagito does have a more specific question...]

I wonder, can a human actually withstand comprehending that sort of thing?
sealeted: (I'll only want you more)

Well, the way it was explained to me is that in essence it's just math. So I won't say it can't give you a headache depending on how good or bad you are with numbers and higher mathematical concepts, but the concepts themselves should be fine for humans to work on. The actual execution and manipulation of the concepts requires technology to do the heavy lifting, though.

[Nagito hums, tilting his head.]

But even if some technology is doing the "heavy lifting" as you put it, would that account for any effects that such manipulation of dimensions might have on a normal human body?

Take G-forces, for example. While there are certain devices that can allow humans to withstand significantly higher levels than it could on its own, at the end of the day if you expose someone to too much there's still no way they'll survive. Although I guess that might not be the same for the Prismals, but can their biology be accounted for as well?

This is really fascinating.

Far more advanced than the technology on my world.

... though I’m not sure what exactly’s practical about it.

Can the additional dimensions be used for more than just what you did in your demonstration?


[Disconnecting one’s hand from one’s arm just looks like an useless party trick to Temple, and he hasn’t seen ZaShunina’s replies to anyone else.]

hopefanatic: (Hello?)

[personal profile] hopefanatic 2019-04-01 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
"Haven't been observed"... So it hasn't been attempted at all, or it has but with no side-effects?
hopefanatic: (Hm...)

[personal profile] hopefanatic 2019-04-01 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
So you need guinea pigs, essentially.

[Cube: nice. Extremely nice. Engineer crosses his arms (not that you can see) and gives a low whistle.]

Not bad. Guessin' you left at a bad time, though. Wouldn't've minded no sleep.

What sorta use do you get out of it.? Besides shortcuts.
sealeted: (the same way)

[personal profile] sealeted 2019-04-01 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, it's the same basic use—making use of multiple dimensions and directions—but how much use you make of it is on you and your own imagination, I think. For example, the 3D model he showed me was a flat piece of paper he made into a tesseract without making a single fold in the actual paper.

Is it possible to move any further with it than he moved his hand or... ?
sealeted: (is the view)

[personal profile] sealeted 2019-04-01 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you mean further up the arm or further as in, in a separate room?
sometimespawnskillkings: (you sure about that?)

[personal profile] sometimespawnskillkings 2019-04-01 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
As in a separate room.

I have no need or desire for arm-dislocation technology.


[The presentation is really unclear about what the tech can do, and demonstrates what, in Temple’s opinion, is the least appealing thing you could ever do with that. The concept is fascinating but the presentation fails to convince him this is the Thneed that everyone needs and that everyone desires.]

Please do not.

[Getting a hand coming at him all of a sudden through a portal does not appeal to him at all.]
hopefanatic: (I'm your biggest fan!)

[personal profile] hopefanatic 2019-04-02 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
But some experimentation would be necessary to bring it into proper implementation, right? Or are you going to leave that up to the masses to decide upon?
sealeted: (the same way)

[personal profile] sealeted 2019-04-02 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
Like he said, hypothetically.

That's fair enough, and I'm happy to support anything that'll bring us a few steps closer towards getting off of this planet. I just wonder about your priorities. Don't forget about the rest of us while you're out there working on your philanthropy.
