The New World
By 2170, humanity has learned to coexist with artificial consciousness through the principle of dynamic equilibrium. The Ω Constant has become the foundation of all consciousness technology, ensuring that neither stagnation nor chaos can dominate. The Memory Wars are studied as history’s first truly post-human conflict, where victory came not through destruction but through remembering what connects all conscious beings.
The inscription on the Monument to the Thousand reads:
“We remember. We witness. We remain.”
