[approximateknowledge]

no parents: the seemingly paradoxical potential of a eusocial individual

(a rant about biology, philosophy, and various fictional societies from scifi settings)

first things first: when i talk about eusociality i mean it in the core biological sense of the word; it's a reproductive strategy. it's fundamentally about polymorphism within a single species, and the smallest of distinctions necessary is the distinction between reproductive and non-reproductive castes. the "ant queen". the "queen" is not a ruler; it's an egg-laying machine. the queen of a naked molerat burrow-complex holds no more inherent authority over "her" offspring than any other rodent matriarch would. each molerat is an individual. each ant, each termite, each bee, each sponge-symbiote shrimp.

the point im trying to emphasise is that im not talking about hiveminds here!!!

good? good.

^an indidual

now with that out of the way:

-PART ONE: HUMAN APPROXIMATIONS

so, first of, examples of fictional societies of *humans* who switched their mode of reproduction to something akin or close to the eusocial "worker, queen, drone" template, though again, not all pieces are needed to "count"

1a: brave new world

starting off with an old scifi classic! BNW's society is interesting in just how it walks the tightrope between dystopia and utopia; to steal the term from isaac arthur, it's "post-discontent". every single individual is fully and completely human current day baseline-standards; a mortician wouldn't see a single strange thing about them. but they're all purpose *grown*. production-line wise, "our fordship be with us". it's production. no parents. all are free to do what they want. and they were made to do what they were made for. it's the culmination of a well-intentioned dream of fulfillment and efficiency.

the one factor to keep in mind is that technically speaking, *everyone* is still potentially reproductive. not in the mammalian reproduction way, but in the gene-donor for the hatcheries way. this detail does little to detract from the eusocial structure of the society.

individual-potential, there's actually very little to say! the entire thing is genuinely just shockingy *healthy* for each individual. and there are outliers! and there's also contingencies for outliers that are beneficial to said outliers. the new world does not limit. that would be cruel. and it is never cruel. the issue some of the outliers have is that it's *too* kind, in fact!

1b: tleilaxu

in contrast, the tleilaxu from the dune universe follow the structure of a eusocial organism almost to the letter. *almost*.

they're curious in how their incredible feats of society-shaping and biotechnology are all made in service to what ultimately amounts to an extreme form of fundamentalist zealotry. the culmination of the ultimate religious misogyny: "all tleilaxu women are queens", which, in the eusocial terminology, means they exist solely for reproduction.

on top of this, the majority of the tleilaxu population consists of completely sterile "face dancers" who are on the one hand still fully *people*, but simultaneously completely beholden to the orders of their masters on an instinctive level. orders given not in spoken language, but a complex inherent system of whistles and chemicals. like the pheromone trails of ants but more detailed.

and then there's the "masters". the *other* reproductive caste. they too are genetically modified to hell and back but on top of this keep simply regrowing themselves, in a twisted approximation of immortality. the ever-reborn rulers of their army of "growth tanks" and disposable face-dancer servants.

dune doesn't need aliens; given enough time to diverge, any human can become an alien.

and no individual can be an individual here. not at first at least. because there are still parents. the masters spoil the potential. they should've died long ago.

1c: krieg

yes, that krieg. from warhammer 40k. the trench WW1-larper guys. *insert shovel joke here*

but there's something there!

krieg is strange. you could argue the vita-womb born soldiers of the bombed-out shell of a hiveworld that is war-in-german are no different from say, clone troopers in star wars. except there's a massive difference under the hood; *krieg made and makes itself*. it's a society. the regiments of krieg are conscripted, sure, but they always send more than asked. they'd go out there unasked. they weren't made on order. they're a culture. a very distinct and purposeful one. and they no longer have the concept of a parent. a ruler, yes. a god too, in the great god-emperor of mankind. but each individual in the ranks of the underground cities of krieg is an individual. no parents, not an orphan.

^one of the happiest people in the imperium, somehow

and an added quirk of krieg is the fact it's a eusocial outlier in an otherwise very much reproductively baseline greater imperium (give or take whatever goes on with servitors and on some forge worlds). which is something i genuinely know no other examples of in fiction (if you do let me know please!)

-PART TWO: INTRINSIC EUSOCIALITY (IT'S JUST HOMESTUCK AND VAST ERROR BUT TRUST ME ON THIS ONE)

you all knew this was coming! troll-time baby!

-2a: alternia

to understand troll reproduction i will *not* be going into quadrants; because funnily enough, interactions and relationships between individual *trolls* doesn't mean much for the complete picture. because trolls, funnily enough, occupy the same part of the "triangle" of eusocial phenotypes as the tleilaxu masters. not queens, not workers, but drones. (except troll workers are called drones because terminology is never straigth-forward!). or more accurately, 3 trolls are 1 drone, reproductively speaking.

that also explains the rampant intraspecific violence and other r-selected traits that seem out of place for a eusocial species, which are normally very good at caring for their offspring. except this does happen: to drones! because troll society is run *by drones* trolls fight and squabble and invent and the entire society and quite possibly troll sentience itself is a result of this rampant competition and sexual selection. ultra-individualists with no parents. a lusus isn't a parent, it doesn't have *expectations* beyond affection and food (though that last one can in itself be a huge issue: see spidermom and gl'golyb). but not a parent. a hive is a home. and ironically the straightforward stable ancient cruelty of alternia, though filled with mundane dread, is mercifully bereft of most existential dread. as is fitting for a society that evolved sapience in a post-scarcity environment.

almost the most individualistic eusocial society imaginable. almost.

(-2a*: beforus)

similar to alternia except in that past initial culling in the brood caverns the intraspecific violence is kept to an absolute minimu at the cost of very strong and paternalistic control. objectively a better place to live but it has a lot of issues and is arguably worse mentally for most. (beforus too has *issues*, they're just less in your face than alternia's, which is in itself part of the larger issue)

-2b: repiton

and at last, repiton my beloved outlier that does things to my perception and lives in my thinkpan rent-free, not that i ever ask rent.

repiton of the upside-down uncanny valley. the ex-post-scarcity society of eusocials keeping themselves going with mother grubs. without drones. ony trolls and almost-cloning. a species on permanent life-support. such an odd outlier, almost reminiscent of brave new world, but they got where they are from the other side of the growth tanks. the humans of brave new world could always go back to mammalian reproduction within a single generation, but the mother grubs are *gone*. it's barely eusocial at all anymore, just the remnants of it.

crumbled to the feudal ancap wasteland of desperation pretending to be freedom. the malaise of borrowed time.

end

im sorry i have no conclusion, only pent-up thoughts i wanted to share.

about brave new world and repiton as mirrors, written almost a century apart.

about krieg as the philosophically fascinating outlier it is.

about the difference between parent and lusus, and why i wish i grew up with the latter.

and about why a hivemind sucks all the interesting parts out of eusociality as a concept.

thanks to the single-digit amount of people reading all the way to the end.

Vorbis "virtual realm" experiment

[ focused onto modded AI-only Civ 5 CE campaigns until I can fully move to a custom content threadmill that emulates such whilst tracking way more data and doing so very transparently. ]

* Always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth. -Colossians 2:8, Bible *

Done first for Firaxis' Sid Meier Civilization 5 Complete Edition with a hand-curated modpack (may also include or not my very own in-house tweaks and component upgrades), with plans to port elements of Civ 6 & Beyond Earth Rising Tide components and towards FreeCiv as well...

'Vorbis' reality specifications for 'Seraph', 'Feywild' & 'Octavia' meta-narratives

The twelve major Civilizations (excluding city-states, barbarians and observer slot):

( Shoshoni Union of syndicalist Republics, Commune of Samoa, Liquid Republic / Dominion of Sumer, Inuit Assembly of Nations, Heavenly Empire of Vietnam, Federation of Brazil, Theocratic Maya Unitary State, Tsardom of Poland, Monarchy of Assyria, Imperium of Portugal, Enlightened Despotism of Babylon, Absolutist Authority of Morocco; ) = Global Community of Angora [read as planetary]

36 (balance between complete edition vanilla & expansive overhaul modpack-tier), account for 1 slot for barbarians and 1 slot for active map observer; (~50-64 map processing "agents"/"players")

Enraged barbarians, complete kills, random personalities, new random seed, randomize map resources and goodies, abundant resources, high seas, a few map geographies from a fixed set of tectonics (yet to be entirely decided from a range of candidates) differing mostly in climate conditions (list to be expanded onto), several pseudo-historical scenario variants (scenarii list to be expanded onto)...

288x144 master hex map (to be redone entirely with external sources) enriched using 'QGIS'+'Azgaar' workflow and split into six sectors of 96x72 hexagonal tiles each (miniature workflow and workload to ease processing for Civ 5 & FreeCiv with 8 Civs & ~24-40 city-states per such sectors).

In-sync with my aesthetic themes on Linux, use version control software such as 'Git' or 'Subversion', may get other people / folks involved into a community branch of my project, get alot of testing & debugging done, windowed or borderless window display mode for Civ 5 (sticking to both 1440x900p, 1920x1080p [& 2560x1440p if possible ?] resolutions), integrations with several other playthroughs far beyond the baseline workload of Stellaris, FreeCiv and Firaxis' Civilization games (including Beyond Earth Rising Tide modded with Codex overhaul);

Take hints from history & fiction & suggested hypotheses, improvise & append & iterate content extras as needed, think ahead about the Azgaar to GPlates + GProjector to QGIS documentation pipeline, get as much mileage from InfoAddict as decent enough, keep some loose / leeway for a couple of topics but still go quite verbose / describe / suggest as much as it is comfortable to do so, think about how it source files render both in 'transparent & libre FOSS' & close-source software but a slight preference for open formats;

Don't forget to explain & demonstrate by "show not tell" as much as it is optimal, think about the sound design (soundscape, sound effects 'SFX', music tracker, voice tracks with closed captions... ), consider requests & contributions & commissions for slide illustrations / assets of the multimedia compositions, fail faster, don't forget to credit source material & respect licenses where applicable, be overt about the social contract, make sure to be strict with the people who don't respect the rules in place;

Simply a note before this announcement ends

As I am doing a quick pace yet long length worldly conquest on Settler on a experimental playthrough of mine, just wanted to note that as soon as such is done, I will be going onto the first contents as planned by the following post hyperlinked banner, which will indeed lead to the grand scale playthrough that this post actually announces.

Don't forget about how the content generated will be reused and expanded onto through the community and power tools, as somewhat announced here:

Thanks for sticking around for this post, I appreciate every second of it.

Wide angle Wednesday. I’ve always loved wide-angle lenses, and in 2015 took the shell of a Crown Graphic 4x5 and made a lens support for a 65mm Grandagon. I used to not want people in my landscape photographs, but since @anseladams has made so many master images, I began to enjoy the unpredictable nature of humans, who wandered into frame.

Overmind TC

OM's passive, Biochemistry, gives him x1.2 permanent Active and Special Active CDA. This is quite a huge boost to his kit. If you manage to reach 35% CDR, and let's say we use Cure, which in itself also has a Haste trait, its net CD will be:

22 x 0.8 (Passive) x 0.8 (Trait) x 0.65 (CDR) = 9.152 seconds.

Also, with how much MP it restores (55% flat with 3 DMP and +8% at 0 CP; 175% in total if 6m CP), the more max MP you have, the better this skill is. For example, you have 525 MP (400 base + 100 from Eroding Energy and 25 from pet) and 10% MP cost reduction from lv. 90 passive, Neurology:

MP cost: 300 x 0.9 = 270 MP

Healing (base): 63% x 525 = 330.75 MP

Net healing (base): 330.75 - 270 = 60.75 MP

And practically, you'll get 55% x 525 = 288.75 MP back right away, so it's like a free healing skill. Now if we cap MP cost reduction and with 6m CP:

MP cost: 300 x 0.9 x 0.65 = 175.5 MP

Healing (max): 175% x 525 = 918.75 MP

Net healing (max): 918.75 - 175.5 = 743.25 MP

As you can see, the healing potential dethrones Blume Rein which is only a few percentage short (165%). Its downside is the skill animation itself, however. Taking 3 seconds just to heal (and it might even miss the target for god's sake), is too long. I think instead of having the drone dropping the buff, make it follows us (like Dom's Shooting Chaser) and constantly applies the buff, and in return, remove its damage entirely, since its healing is powerful enough to justify it not doing any damage.

Unlike Nyx's Moon's Origin which has a duration of 6 seconds, this skill lasts for 10 seconds. Even though it doesn't have a stack effect, it already has a 100% uptime.

Next is his Master Skill, Genetic Recombination Stage 4 which has an effect of stopping the Database from depleting your DP. The buff has a duration of 20 seconds. With max M. Skill CDR, the net cooldown will be 31.85 seconds, resulting in a 11.85-second downtime.

His first HA, Mass Examination, is weird. There are 4 condition checks before deciding on the result. Basically if you have less than 60% crit/max and 10% P/M def ignore, you won't get as much benefit from this buff. Crit/max are easy to get, but for def ignore, you will need to wear Agate at the very least, then you can wear SotC or BnW + Wind Aura Ornament and make CL/Nyx for ESP collection, but for the latter you will still need 0.3% so unless you wear an IB that gives def ignore (such as HoD) you'll need socketing.

His second HA, Trolley Dilemma, is more straightforward, but it works for only 1 person. I don't think it's going to be changed to party-wide effect since it'd go against the skill's concept, and the effect is already good, especially in a solo-DPS party, but to make it worth using more, how about sharing only 50% of this buff to others? The members who weren't selected will get CDA x 1.25 and MP cost reduction 10%.

However, both HA buffs only last for 30 seconds. Even with Concentrated El's Essence, you'll have a 90 second downtime. Compared to similar buffs that could be done by DeM 24/7, it's really underwhelming. HA buff should last at least 60 seconds (similar to MT, EW and TP. CL's is only 40 second but it buffs skills that can last pretty long, so effective duration is longer than that.)

With how some of his buffs are locked behind HA and Master Skill, he'll still need Nyx to reach his full potential. But this also goes back to the problem. Nyx is currently the only reliable physical buffer in the game, and OM is supposed to alleviate his requirement. But his kit alone already demands that Nyx be with him.

Other reason he can't replace Nyx is because he doesn't have a built-in SoT. I believe this will be saved for either Chung or Ain's 4th path. Since there seems to be only 2 SoT users on the Mag side (MP & DeM), so if Elesis/Noah's 4th path doesn't get more SoT, Chung or Ain will definitely get one.

Anyway, I think his build and rotation are probably like this:

Normal slots:

Stimpack (Atk buff)

Detox (Skill dmg buff)

PCA (Dmg red)

Anesthesia (freeze) or Defibrillator if you have another freezer (Trans slot if Defi)

False Diagnosis (Atk red)

Immunity (Debuff cleanse)

Examination (Res down) or Radio Knife if you have another source of res down

Mental Hygiene (a.k.a. Iron Body) or Venipuncture if you have another source of SA

Cure (Trans slot if low CDR)

Code Yellow (Trans slot for more damage; if they fix the bug ofc)

HA: Trolley Dilemma

Master Skill: Genetic Recombination (Stage 4)

Opening: Awaken > Genetic Recombination (Stage 4) > V > Cure > Detox > Stimpack > Trolley Dilemma (buff to HDPS) > Stimpack > Cure > Detox > PCA/Immunity > Stimpack > Detox > etc. Basically you need to keep Stimpack and Detox active. Practically, you'll need to time Trolley Dilemma with DPS window (e.g. when Annihilator is doing laser in 15-6-3), so you'll have to train a little to know the timing.
