The Clarke-Brunner Effect

Gohrlay's brain
A core organizing principle for the Exode Saga is that Isaac Asimov, Jack Vance and Arthur Clarke are the three favorite science fiction story writers of the Editor. It is the job of the Editor to reveal to the people of Earth the Secret History of Humanity: how alien visitors to Earth created the human species. Sadly, neither the Editor nor any other Earthlings are allowed to have verifiable physical evidence that space aliens exist, so when the Editor writes the Secret History of Humanity, it is viewed by Earthlings as being a science fiction story.

Earth's Reality Chain
Isaac Asimov, Jack Vance and Arthur Clarke are not only the three favorite science fiction story writers of the Editor. Asimov, Vance and Clarke each play a special role in Earth's Reality Chain. In the First Reality, Asimov, Vance and Clarke were members of the Escapist Clan and good friends of Gohrlay. It was Gohrlay's mind pattern that was used to create the positronic brain. Positronic Brain technology led to the discovery of time travel technology, which completely derailed to course of human history. R. Gohrlay made sure that analogues of Asimov, Vance and Clarke existed in every successive Reality of Earth's Reality Chain.

In the Foundation Reality, the positronic robots of Earth came close to completing their Galaxia project. Galaxia was their attempt to turn Earth's galaxy into a vast, unified artificial life form, deploying its telepathic power so as to assure that Humanity would be eternally independent of the alien Huaoshy. That plan was derailed when the Huaoshy developed their own time travel technology. During the Time Travel War, Huaoshy technological superiority in nanotechnology allowed the Huaoshy to regain control of Earth. To do this, they made use of a new human variant, the Kac'hin and their chief agent on Earth became Grean the Kac'hin.

However, the positronic robots of Earth were not completely defeated. In particular, several positronic robots and Asterothropes (particularly Trysta Iwedon) remained deployed in the field, persistently resisting Huaoshy plans for Humanity's future. Rather than endure a protracted and futile Time Travel War, the Huaoshy first unilaterally declared the Trysta Truce. In the Asimov Reality, during the Truce, the remaining positronic robots established an alliance with the ancient Phari, an alien life form that had been quite adept at making use of hierion-based technologies. During the Trysta Truce, the Huaoshy developed the means to neutralize Trysta Iwedon's resistance to cooperation with the Huaoshy.
Trysta-Grean Pact

The Time Travel War ended with establishment of the Trysta-Grean Pact. Now collaborating, Trysta and Grean brought into existence the Buld Reality. The Buld Reality was intended to be the final Reality in Earth's Reality Chain.

The Huaoshy were eager to change the Dimensional Structure of the universe so as to make all further time travel impossible. However, with the end of time travel approaching, a few subtle adjustments were made to Earth's timeline so as to satisfy the terms of the Pact by which humans were to be given a chance to spread themselves between the stars.

We now exist within the Final Reality. No further time travel is possible. It is the job of the Editor to tell the Secret History of Humanity. Much of that Secret History reached the Editor in the form of infites; information nanites that cannot be detected by Earthly science, but which can convey information directly into the brain of the Editor.
Shana/Mayness/Trysta (see)

The first source of infites for the Editor was the Editor's Replicoid, Irhit. Linked to the Editor by way of a hierion tube, Irhit was able to guide the early life of the Editor.

Back in 2017, I became aware of the idea that the tryp'At were at work during the Ekcolir Reality and operating out of a secret base in England. I was also told that it may have been a tryp'At agent who activated my own interest in the science fiction literary genre.

The tryp'At in England
My source of information concerning tryp'At Interventionists in England is Nirutam. Ever since Nirutam took up residence here in the guest house, "she" has been filling in gaps in my knowledge about events in Deep Time.

I feel bad about calling Nirutam "she" and using the pronoun "her" to refer to someone who does not conform to human gender categories. However, for her mission on Earth, Nirutam was crafted by developmental control nanites to make her appear to be a human female.

Selfies.
Currently, it is my hope that Nirutam still carries sophisticated nanites in her body. Nirutam is now quite ill and in need of a medical miracle. It was never intended that she remain long on Earth, but she is trapped on our world. Over-staying her planned time on Earth seems to have triggered the destruction of her biological body. I fear that she arrived on Earth equipped with medical nanites that kept her healthy only during the limited time period when she was carrying out her planned mission. Maybe those nanites had a fixed duration of operation and then they shut down. Maybe we can find a way to reactivate those hypothetical medical nanites or possibly other nanites can be adapted to the purpose of allowing Nirutam to regain her health.

Dani
I have recruited both 1) members of the Mind Clone Network who reside at Observer Base and 2) Dani to the task of searching for such a solution, but Nirutam herself seems convinced that she must die. That prospect does not alarm her. Nirutam claims to be from a world where selfies are routinely created for every individual, allowing them to have a type of artificial life after death.

Thus, even though her health continues to decline, Nirutam consistently works with me to educate me about Deep Time. During her preparation for working on Earth, she had access to what I must think of as an ER Simulator, a virtual reality simulation of the Ekcolir Reality. Nirutam understands how that past Reality was transformed into the Final Reality.

Hai'zek the Fru'wu
Currently, I am struggling to understand the role that the tryp'At played in creating the Final Reality. Apparently there were a large number of tryp'At agents stationed in England during the Ekcolir Reality. Previously, it was my understanding that Earthlings were prepared for the arrival of the alien Fru'wu by having the Writers Block help Earthlings write science fiction stories about alien visitors to Earth. However, Nirutam insists that preparations for First Contact with the Fru'wu went far beyond the writing of science fiction stories.

According to Nirutam, the analogue of Arthur Clarke in the Ekcolir Reality was Arabella Clarke. Similarly, John Brunner had an Ekcolir Reality analogue named Joan Brunner. However, Nirutam insists that Arabella and Joan did not start out as science fiction story tellers. Joan was a chemist and Arabella a physicist. They met when Joan joined Arabella's nanotechnology research team at Queen's College and began working on a new chemical class of photon-absorbing materials. Working with samples of hadronic matter that were doped with hierions, they discovered what became known as the Clarke-Brunner Effect.

Apparently the tryp'At Interventionists had figured out how to infiltrate Earth by using the hierion tubes that link from the Hierion Domain to Earth. The Clarke-Brunner Effect allowed an Earthling's femtobot endosymbiont to establish a link to its Replicoid in the Hierion Domain, essentially reversing the hierion tube hack that the tryp'At were using in the opposite direction. Nirutam suspects that Interventionists must have been helping Joan and Arabella, for example, someone had supplied them with hierion-doped materials to use in their experiments.

I'm rather amazed that none of my other collaborators such as Ivory Fersoni ever told me anything about the Clarke-Brunner Effect. Zeta suggests that it was the pek who helped Joan and Arabella in order to put a stop to blatant tryp'At interventionism that was compounding the technological problems plaguing human society on Earth during the Ekcolir Reality.

Later, the technological trick provided to Joan and Arabella had to be completely covered up by the pek and hidden from we Earthlings. However, I now wonder if that "trick" could be used to get Nirutam's selfie off of Earth and to the safety of Eternity.

Colleen
The Discovery of Eternity
As usual, I'm now in the market for another information source that can confirm what Nirutam has told me about the Ekcolir Reality. Colleen Liscan suggests that it may have been temporal momentum that led Clarke to write The Sentinel and Brunner to write The Watchers.

In the Ekcolir Reality, had Clarke and Brunner revealed to their fellow Earthlings the existence of Observer Base inside the Eternity space-time bubble?
