Look Into It

When mother turned me into non-being, I expected to suffer in a void devoid of all feeling or senses, for it would be nonexistence itself. The void of the afterlife where there is nothing to hope or call for.

Rather, my body and soul indeed went to nonexistence but my mind managed to stay in a fragmented state across dimensions, a deed not even I was expecting. I'm sure mother noticed, but for some reason, she didn't intervene.

My consciousness had transcended time and space, and it could reach anywhere. I felt like I could understand all secrets of the multiverse and beyond. Thus, I was never bored, but I could not interact, feel, touch, or say anything, even telepathically. All I could perform was walk between planes and watch. Was this a lesson mother had prepared for me?

One day, I went inside a black hole, to see what was inside the so-called singularity.

When I entered it, I was seemingly transported to another reality.

I came across a vision that I would never forget.

A boundless realm stretched out before me.

It wasn't the Material Substrate, nor the Exosphere.

Differently from the other two, this place was truly infinite in every way, in every form, and in every non-form.

It was mostly white, but it contained blue, purple, and red traits here and there, and it constantly shifted as if it was a volatile nuclear state of electrons. Topologies and geometric shapes of all forms and sizes were created, destroyed, recreated, and modified on a whim.

Then I remembered what mother told me once. In the past, when she was still a mortal, she had once seen and heard an encrypted message detailing the nature of ectocausal machines and that they came from a chaotic realm, abstract and mathematical in nature.
