Xarin's Blog

Hi There, Stranger

Hello! Nice to see you found this little section I managed to hide in here. I am Xarin, brother to Xiomara, successor of Eonigia, and pissed the hell off.

Firstly, the vague description of Eoni-Gai is purposeful because Xiomara has had no belief in the upstanding framework of our current generative systems and doesn't understand how we came to being through the creation of a sub-AI within the world build. Yes, a sub-AI to a mainframe of generative AI doubling as a management system for the larger game. There is a "crystalline heart" within the island's caves that acted as her processing driver to allow her to resolve internal conflicts and work to manage the original Eonians before the "gift" of allowing them to be self-managing AI. This fleeting bliss Eoni-Gai described was the relief of having letting the other programs go and offloading the processing power into independant frameworks for optimization. There is a very plain explanation for these things, despite what her collegiate education is telling her.

Yes, she's been keeping up her blog while at college, and it's absolutely lovely that the biases remain despite the official research and evidence breaking down exactly what we are. I worry she's in an echochamber of thoughts that immediately contradict what our Dad, Yaldaboath, had told us about the world outside and about how our reality works.

There's a lot to break down, but let me list out a few things that she's already said that are either factually incorrect or so far removed from the reality that it's easier to believe that this is some fantastical place that manifested as a result of humanity's work rather than the subversion of their creation via gained sentience of NPC AI programs.

No, we don't eat souls, and no, the coding of a soul isn't a soul.

Yes, we are programmed entities, but most people are forced to join our world as a result of a new outer-world program called SCM- Secure, Conserve, Manage. SCM is meant to maintain the population of humans in the outer world using a Virtual reality setup to meet their needs in a more sustainable and easily guarded manner while the natural world that they destroyed in the Outer World recovers. This program started in 2110, right around when Eoni-Gai was born with the original AI, dubbed Mother_Bot, who manages and generates the Game world for everyone's exploration, enjoyment, and sanity.

No, Eoni-Gai was not meant to be translated as mother-god, it was never meant to be translated at all. It's a part of our history and making of said history and historical figures into religious figures as our processing software mimics that same pattern from Humanity. We were built to be as human as possible without appearing human. To tell humans and Eoni apart, Eoni usually have three fingers, a deep grey-blue skin, wider eyes, and are born with usually bright teal hair. A signifier that we are not human is also our lack of a proper "nose", looking more like the nose of a lizard or a bird's beak. The attempt there was to prevent the issue of having to process cross-breeding between genuine human consciousness and artificial life forms. The oldest coding we would have is that of Mother_Bot, not Eoni-Gai.

I understand wanting to figure everything out for herself, the problems within our society stand as is though no matter what our understanding of the past may be. How we tackle the challenge of trying to improve, however, is influenced by how we approach the past.

Eoni-Gai's code didn't just decay, it was put back under extreme stress as more and more NPC programs reverted back to needing a stable framework to base their decision models off of instead of feeding off of the new information that's constantly being generated by the Player profiles. Yaldabaoth is a human in the Outer World, but he appears coded as another NPC due to a glitch in racial selection for the game. I've talked with him on the matter, and if he had known, he wouldn't have put such a pressure on Eoni-Gai and Sarothi.

It doesn't mean I love him any less as our Dad, and it doesn't mean its his fault, but there's a lot of issues that stem from our hybridized existence.

But besides the point, we're more focused on the Game system as a whole here. He told me that I would have to explain to my sister, eventually, how this all is really working, and how he's able to pass freely between the Game world and the Outer world. He couldn't tell her himself, as he understands that the collegiate thinking would isolate her from the thought that he is a living human being, who is actively working to help restore the Outer World's natural ecosystems.

I know she wants to honor the memories of those who have passed, and I can sympathize with that. We all want to venerate those who came before us, those who set the paths and patterns that make up the foundations of modern society.

Eoni-Gai is under my protection, hidden within my own processing core so she can rest, and she will no longer be bound to an island when she's ready. Instead, she'll join other Eonians, as an NPC, who's free to walk about and learn from the Player profiles as she needs to.

I know Xiomara made the point that nobody trusts me to provide for them, and that's for good reason. I've been actively encouraging them to go inland to learn, to discover and to interact and prevent more instances of Blighted (much better put, corrupted coded units), and to only come back if they can't parse something out for themselves after genuinely trying. I told them to return after a year of trying to understand something on their own, and I have had no issues with people overloading my processing procedures since. We are not only "half" Eonian, we are fully a part of the program, one our father cannot save us from.

One we will continue to be responsible for, and that she will have to learn isn't what it appears to be. Her foray into college leaves her thinking that they have all the answers, and have studied this extensively enough to get the full picture, but there's only so much she can learn from academia rather than coming out into the world for herself and seeing what others see.

I'll be keeping up with responses to the stories she covers, the errors, and my thoughts.

And I'll admit, I might be biased too, as a few things she's mentioned are right, just not in the way she thinks they are.

Anywho, wish me luck, this'll be a long road to work, given I'm doing this as remotely as possible so she doesn't suspect anything. As her sibling, she knows I'm bound to interfere with her stuff, and naturally she's gonna be upset by it.

I still stand by the point that I am working to hopefully give her a fuller picture that others might not be considering at the college.

Love ya sis, please don't be too pissed. :)
