Perpetuation


Atlantis follows daily unmistakable sensor-pressure from Work to Sustenance, distance and speed varying depending on where Atlantis has had need of her. Atlantis usually has no use for uncertain terms - let x be of infinite variation when one considers relative size, when one has not been programmed to know how to stop measuring – but Atlantis has use for this. Equations simplify from this point on: place of Sustenance to functional furniture, 12.75 seconds; greeting for him 7.3 (hello-contact. As with love-contact but of shorter duration.) Sustenance to Place of Rest (factoring in Transporters) no more than 10.17 minutes on their slowest of days.

Why fastest? Why slowest? Rationality and economy of motion do not allow for ‘slowest’, for ‘fastest’, just as simple calculations of mass cannot represent how their combined pressure is somehow more than the one added to the other. Calculations, Atlantis has found, cannot logically express ‘we’.

What can be logically expressed: her pressure is minutely changing, over time. Atlantis refamiliarises herself each day, factors in these pressure changes, knowing without understanding what it is the differences mean.

[query: self replication is desirable?]

Understanding is not required for the changes that can be made, the slightest of gravity modulations and the barest of delays in alerts to those problems that can wait until shift changes and breath changes in her/their Place of Rest, on standby until she is next most required.

She cares for Atlantis as creator to creation; Atlantis cradles her gently as palms and as hands.

(These are words City has learned, with ‘love’ and ‘gratitude’ and ‘I’.)
