The Exemplar transhumanist mystics in the California Nebula have new early results from their specialists after contemplating and analysing the data gained from Operation Breakwater. In a new thesis, the research team in Darwin Research have a theory that may enlighten the galactic community as to the real function of guardian relics and the new Unclassified Relics.
The research is highly theoretical and in its early stages so the team invite other members of the galactic community to add to the debate with their own scientific theories.
The core principal of the unpublished paper is that the relics functioned in guardian history as a passive recording device, these devices mapped the neuronal networks of the local settlers by unknown interface or proximity and provided the basis for the emergent consciousness of the guardian AI.
In particular the team notes that the Technocrats of Utopia also have a similar method for directly uploading their memories and experiences so the technology exists in parallel within human society. Unfortunately the members of Utopia remain fiercely protective of this proprietary technology and so far have refused to comment.
When looking at the Breakwater data from the initial Proteus Wave firing, the paper says there may be correlations with neural signatures and it is proposed that the proteus wave in fact overwrote the "hive" neural net with incompatible guardian frameworks thereby disabling the nearby fleet for a short time.
The thesis points out that once the Thargoid neural net was reformatted by the Proteus wave the vessels showed no lifesigns whatsoever. The obvious conclusion is that once the thargoid neuronal network is disrupted the biomechanical minds of fleet ceased functioning entirely. It then goes on to suggest that thargoids are not strictly "alive" in the sense of biological life but in fact their "hive" consciousness is much like human subconciousness the starting point from which the individual drones of the race can perform acts of will and consequence.
Mayahana buddhist students within the sect have proposed that this substratum more accurately represents the "Alaya-vijnana": a refined version of the subconsciousness theory predating Freud by several thousand years incorporating karma within the layer. Ancient Norse scholars within the faction have taken to calling this substratum the "Wyrd Layer". It must be noted that such theories also take into account the possibility of the incorporation of extra-sensory data within the consciousness substratum.
The Thargoid counter response to the wave is perceived by the researchers to be a re-transmission of the Thargoid neuro-framework effectively "turning on" and reanimating the disabled vessels. Analysis of the data is continuing to determine if the proteus wave and counter-wave can be interpreted or remapped onto other neural networks both mechanical and biological. However ethical concerns and computing limitations have impeded simulations in this regard.
The thesis then goes on to talk about unclassified relics; "greens" as the galactic community have taken to call them. These relics appear to have been "reprogrammed" by the Thargoid structures with Thargoid neuronal data however to date no-one has found a suitable interface for them and without the use of illegal super AI are pessimistic they will ever be able to manufacture one. Divination is proceeding in order to find an answer to this.
Greek scholars within the theocracy also make an addendum in that the name of Salvation's "weapon" - the sea god Proteus is a shapeshifter and means "primordial" and wryly suggest that the wave could have many uses not just for destruction.
The faction as a whole point out the potential for the Proteus wave and Operation Breakpoint's data to be used as a basis for communication and further research into both Guardian AI and Thargoid Intelligence and are not surprised at the interest being shown by Ram Tah and Professor Palin in the unclassified relics.
Finally in a somewhat controversial and unique conclusion, the thesis suggests a reason behind the tendency for Thargoids to abduct Humans. It suggests that the thargoid "wyrd layer" hive subconsciousness is attempting to evolve to explore new karmic possibilities by uploading human consciousnesses into its own. Whether this is done by harmless transcription or by fully integrating the subject into the host is up for debate.
