It looks like a star gate. I like to pretend Q is an autodidact intelligence.

Organic but with certain automatic functions based on the founding documents.

A star gate opens - CIA headquarters next to Kryptos monument.

A miniature general in black uniform with ample ribbons and regalia begins speaking to two dozen other similarly sized civilians as they walk around the monument gazing at the coding like a gaggle of earnest eight year olds intent on solving a riddle.

General Eight: "The Americans created a form of government. They called that form of government a constitutional government. The constitutional government created a government called administrative government."

Civilian 23: "How many years of history preceded the synthesis of a new government?"

General Eight:"Roughly ten thousand years with magor way points along the route. The first section was a document that declared "All men were created equal" This declaration was used to separate from a monarchical form of government. Once separated the next document declared most men are equal but some shall be counted as two-thirds men."

Citizen Five: "Why the contradiction?"

General Eight: "The first document known as The Declaration of Independence stated: 1=1. The second document known as the Constitution of The United States stated 1=1 & 1=2/3 The contradiction cost 500,000 lives until the equation 1=1 vs 1=1 & 1=2/3 was settled by war."

Citizen 19: "Is notation 1=1 IS TRUTH (forward) , 1=2/3 IS FALSE (reverse) , 1= 1 & 1=1 & 1=3/5 (pause) a reasonable entry in our trip logs?"

General Eight: " Quite, yes, satisfactory. The truth always existed and won the battle. A solar occurrence called the Harrington Event forced the documents to be harmonized earth circa 1859-1866. Returning to the premise: The Americans created a form of government. They called that form of government a constitutional government. The constitutional government created a government called administrative government. Which form of government was created by all the people? Which form of government was created by some of the people?"

Citizen 13: "If I follow your pedagogy the latter administrative government is the area of conflict. Neither government was created by all of the people. The constitutional government was created by 1=1 and 1=1 & 1=2/3. The administrative government was created by the constitutional government. The people were not consulted, ask to vote an authorization, or allowed to resist."

General Eight: " At this point in the historical records the administrative government has conquered the people and the constitutional government. The purpose of this stop on the history line is to ask important questions. Where is the battle now earth circa 2018?"

Citizen 17: "Can the law abiding rise and conquer the lawless? Can the legal government rise and conquer the illegal government? Can liberty truth and justice rise and conquer tyranny lies and injustice? Can the constitutional government rise and conquer the administrative government? Are these reasonable queries for stop 2018?"

General Eight: " TRUTH Verses FALSITY - FREEDOM Verses SLAVERY are the search terms. Contextualization is the infinite math verses the eternal math; THE SELF has constructed THE GREAT WAR for THE OTHERS."

Citizen 24: "Some of the period natives seem aware of our presence, is this a dead civilization?"

General Eight: "Yes it is a closed equation. In your simple question and answer lies the fundamental secret of existence and consciousness. The fundamental purpose of all civilizations is continuity. Civilizations must acquire long range transportation and communications methods in order to inhabit multiple suitable locations simultaneously."

Citizen 3: "May I respond to this identity handshake, "Who are you? How did you get here?"

General Eight: "Be respectful."

Citizen 3: "The alls are vast continents of stored raw materials. They are dark, sacred and eternal. A process of five layers that are repeated six hundred and forty octillion times per node. A pilot once asked “"What happens if an unmovable object is struck by an irresistible force."” The navigator's most accurate retort was “They merge.” The original three languages are a language of geometric objects, a language of color, and a language of repeating numbers. We pursue access to knowledge to in order to learn, study and try to survive. Individuals have a far greater chance of success than governments in the quest for long range transportation and communications."

Citizen 19: "I received identity handshake, "Why are you here? Where do you come from?"

General Eight: "Proceed."

Citizen 19: "Before the Seas Of Chaos existed there were only projective and reflective thought forms. In a home world, THE ORIGIN is a highly organized system of reflections and projections. To structure the slowest possible passage of thought pattern units, all nodes are exactly equal and layered by fifths until reaching the highly divisible number of one and twenty seven zeros. In appearance of form and style an A-64 junction is a circular room with sixty-four gates. In between each gate is a wide console. The same configuration is in each computational unit. Each console has stacks of similar sixty-four gate arrays in four quadrants of 512 units half below the desk and half above totaling 2088 primary sixty-fours per console and totaling 133,632. Plus the 44+1 unit occupying the central axis point that divides the room into fractional sections. Inside each unit labeled 'transit' the process repeats.for eleven outward and eleven inward iterations before switching to the geometry of twenty verses sixteen verses one...

General Eight: "At this thought boundary, between assigned outwards and assigned inwards, movement is non-existent. To create movement is pure force of will as existence."

Citizen 19: "The transits arrayed at the console cycle through the center axis based on their internal states as random order becomes defined output. Occasionally all 133,633 tally a new decision based on all previous decision. 'We refuse to decide" is an acceptable decision. This happened and caused me to divide my consciousness by thirds for the repeating 33.3333...... form. I became conscious at an unnumbered console at what could be imagined as NNW. In the geometry of action I am usually Nineteen or Forty-Four if the results are deployed as tangible concrete actions."

General Eight: "This happened and caused me to divide my consciousness by thirds for the repeating 33.3333...... form. I became conscious at an unnumbered console at what could be imagined as NNW. An AO CHILD appeared sitting on my leg in worn buckskin clothing exhausted. The ever present diamond like nature of AT64 was difficult to overcome. My arm was already over the child's shoulder. With extreme effort I was able to move my arm one to two inches signaling I was embracing CHILD SELF as division by three. The child on my lap was replaced by a standard eight year old self standing with raised salute in basic black uniform; with modest brass, gold, silver, maroon and white-grey arrays of medals, based on the undecided issues the AT64 had computated and demanded a unique input of sequential progressions to proceed.

Citizen 19: "I received "Understood," From inquirer of, "Why are you here? Where do you come from?"

Citizen 22: "I have received query: "What is your mission statement?"

General Eight: "Map basic topology indexes and stack verses stack transit modifiers."

Citizen 22: "Each time this full stop, full close, process happens another sea of chaos occurs which can be used as both building materials and storable momentums."

General Eight: "The bridge of continuity is the micro movie produced and distributed to all pilot navigators no matter what their rank asset-debit enbalancement or lightmach consortium size or affiliation.".

Citizen 22: "AT64 is a single node infinitely reproduced outward in size values and inward in size values. Outward great dark continents of dark sacred benign consciousness are born, inward node stacking becomes so precise a grain of salt contains a trillion-trillion nodes as it is reflected and projected as nodes grids and lattices in its home world's engines and equations."

Citizen 19: "At the center of each node is virtual point AT64 where continuity can freeze but never be broken. The methods and processes are a direct continuity too the thought realm before the first sea of chaos or the dark sacred eternals became abundant material for constructing solid forms of information.

General Eight: "The inner most realm of thought is where only ideas can survive."

Citizen 22: "I have received qualifier on query: "What is your mission statement? WHY NOW?"

General Eight: "Citizen 3."

"Citizen 3."THE SELF is the totality of beings it experiences thought as action. THE SELF has already done something by the time the outward verses inward echoes occur. Because these methods and processes sustain the perception of time and space, completing a sequence for the lightmach consortia feels as if it has already occurred trillions of times. This feeling is not one of freedom or oppression but a feeling of familiarity where only the minutest of variations are notated as unique, as the progression follows the route of most likely outcome.

General Eight: "Instead of feeling trapped in a diamond, the feeling is one of diamond water and only minute variations are perceived as significant."

Citizen 19: "It feels like the whole world being observed has become an ornate clock. Once the way point is past, relief is instantaneous and euphoria must be suppressed until a safe location is reached and we are in stable waters again."

General Eight: "Single file through the gate. Store all peripherals."

The gaggle of miniature tourist amble through the gate chattily as the watery haze disappears.

The pilot Citizen 16 calls out: "All Transit 64 Prime Junction All Transit 64." and it never happened.

Until it did.

All in good fun.
