#0x10c-related news

Notch back at it. (^*^)

I do enjoy this design logotype by far (especially the Bit-Shift motif & ever so rounder dotted pattern logo), plus it is a dungeon crawler game remake thing which is real neat to observe too.

Also, I derive my constructed world name (16^12) from 0x10c's distant alternate history / future "prompt" of sorts. So kudos to Notch getting back on track on his terms.

Nitta, Little Bear & the virtual Nuon Academical Campus (16^12 thread - 0x22/?)

Follow-up to the latest 16^12 thread mainline article(s?):

In light of more recent dreams & a couple of accumulated insights, here are a couple suggestions coming to my head for short stories' components worth experimenting over.

Agents

Kate/Klara "Olive" Kér (self-insert, protagonist, autistic+ADD INTJ transfem with esoteric leanings)

Ava Booksword (synthetic-tier ENFP female android as social service servant to Kate, syndicalism advocate, focal point of the narrative)

Shoshona (black Turkish Angora fem housecat)

Nil Blackhand (blank-slate player insertee agent & anyPOV perspective)

Tano Noir (biomorphic synthetic Shoshone woman, justice vigilante & Cybernetics program cooperation responsible)

Vega Renarde (current Nisian ruler)

Pana Ninsun-Kush (heir to the hegemone despot title of the Nisian Conglomerate)

Vala Maynard (queen then director of the Mayan empire as it transitioned from authoritative theocracy into syndicalist federal republic during the middle 4410s & 4420s)

Abra (Robot-tier android)

Sina (Droid-tier android)

Ella Vega (Klára Dán von Neumann)

Zen Kuscher (Konrad Zuse)

Cil Becker (Sherman Fairchild)

Kelly Astras (Ken Olsen)

Tekla Tassara (famous mathematician & theologian of the Polish Commonwealth during the 4450s-4470s, leading the global Cybernetics program during that period and directing the robots-tier phase, inspired by Wolfenstein The New Order's eponymous surname character)

Iwa Silla (polyglot erudite lead responsible for the droid machinery upgrades of the Cybernetics, succeeding Tekla during the mid 4470s to 4490)

Théa Narva (neuromancy & first gen nanite expert lead for the Cybernetics program, succeeding mistress Silla and leading the first Synthetics phase between 4490-4520)

Sasha May (biologist & esoterical philosopher for second gen synthetics program lead, succeeding mistress Narva and leading the Cybernetics program with programmable matter, biomodding & bio-mutualism features up to around 4545)

Ulrique Ullis Bayes (biological female best-friend and multimedia creative)

Eike Elkbow (non-binary Harmonist ally in the federal Shoshone parliament)

Rudy Saller (Aremorican motorized infantry soldier of the Second World War?)

Constanz Haywire (Aremorican-Burgund resistance fighter & entente speaker during the Second World War?)

Tuliann Éléano (lead of the Shoshoni Progressives Coalition & foreign relations minister)

Milan Tulip (latest Unionist Party lead in the Shoshone Union)

Valenz Haywire, "Louve de Darioritum";

Léo & Pascale Nitta, lead couple of the Nitta clan and associates to underground dealers in the Little Bear neightbourhood;

Zena de Kish, current Iranian ruler-queen transitioning it to democracy

Intrigues?

(Don't forget about morphological freedoms, sapience rights charter and empathic mutual empowerment infrastructure present in the 4520s...)

The Ana & Kata connection is similar to Kate + Ava mutual relationship & the overall link to timely topics (aka past, present & future...);

The 16^12 framework is a single Matrioshka brain construction in a Iron Stars-era cosmology... and while it is networked with other livid conscious nodes, I can imagine such more as a explicit intertextual framework with metaphysical implications than something to be actually re-implemented. But at least it still has a whole 0x10c vibe attached.

I kinda get a feeling the Blackhand / Servitor narrative has a certain "edutainment simulationism" tone akin to "The Landlord's Game" and its georgism centered Prosperity ruleset, but with additional split focuses with some rendition of Kaiserreich's Syndicalism & some preservationist classical liberal-esque Harmony, which all three serves as caucuses within the Shoshoni Progressives Coalition governments (4521-454X?).

Unionists (4424-4520+) are essentially another Shoshone coalition in the same parliament system than Progressives', which has got Republicans (Americana mid-century liberals variety still party core), Democrats (quite politically conservative likewise to Kennedy & FDR terms' but socially inclusive likewise to Clinton's) and Liberty (contemporary moderate Libertarians center kinda like Ross Perot & early 2000s Y2K Trump) that is overall collapsing on itself during the 4520s after the failed coup/uprising of the period ( kinda like January6th2021's ) as they face systemic decomposition of their group to the benefit of Progressives.

(Worth mentioning that the Unionists had done a fairly okay work in-world during the 4490s-4520 period with Ross Perot [x2], Al-Gore, Donald Trump, Oprah Obama, Bernie Sanders & Kamala Harris but were simply too... stagnant for far too long, likewise to how the USA does right now in our world with its dualistic neofeudal system, which the Progressives improves from drastically henceforth);

The 45th Shoshone century essentially starts politically as: McKinley (death in 4401 as OTL) - Roosevelt (x2 as republican) - Taft (moderate republican) - Roosevelt (progressive winning against f* Woodrow Wilson) - Hugues (middle republican winning against Woodrow Wilson) - Debs (communal syndicalist / socialism up to 4425 when the Unionists coalition forms & wins back the parliament for most of century's remaining time) ~ [...] ; Should read as remove Woodrow Wilson's ideological influence from the whole worldscape of Angora.

And so yeah, remains to write some more about the Nuon Academical Campus with its twin towers gateway, some virtual infrastructure and other exploratory stuff... including moderate detailing on the religions & cultural customs / traditions.
