Tyhry Watson

Figure 1. Tihri in human form.

 Tyhry Watson is a character who often appears in my science fiction stories that  are set in the Exodemic Fictional Universe. Below on this webpage is an account of how the Tyhry character has evolved through time.

 Tihri. Back in 2015 (see the blog post titled "Grean"), I began making some blog pages that were about specific characters and plot devices that I commonly deploy in my stories. Tyhry is unusual in that her name has evolved through the years. Back in 2019, the name originated as 'Tihri", which is Irhit, backwards.

When 'Tihri' eventually reached the point in her life when she realized that she is not a conventional human and is actually tryp'At, she changed her name to Tyhry. As late as March 2022 I was still using the name 'Tihri', but starting in April, I was using 'Tyhry'.

 Watson. In 2025, for stories such as "Battlefield Lipid", I started allowing Eddy and Tyhry to make use of the last name 'Watson'.

Figure 2. Tyhry the tryp'At.

Back in 2014 I began using the term "Tryp'At" to refer to a type of human variant. Eventually, I decided that both Tyhry's father, Eddy and Tyhry are tryp'At. As shown in Figure 1, Tyhry grew up under the influence of developmental control nanites and she believed that she was genetically a conventional human. However, as a tryp'At, Tyhry's true genetically-specified biological form is more like what is shown in Figure 2. Not shown in Figure 2 are other tryp'At features like the long pointed ears. When Tyhry first began experimenting with the recovery of her tryp'At physical features, she routinely hid the pointed tips of her ears under her hair.

Tyhry's birth mother is Zeta Gohrlay, who entered into the stories of the Exodemic Fictional Universe starting in 2016.  I usually depict Zeta as being half Neanderthal and I have never given a precise explanation for the fact that Tyhry is Tryp'At or the source of all of her chromosomes.

When using AI-generated images to make depictions of the pointed ears of Tyhry, there is a continual struggle between me and what I feel is a reasonable length for a primate ear and what the artificial intelligences want to generate. The image that is shown to the right in Figure 3 is typical of what the AIs want to generate. Long ears like that would be hard to hide under Tyhry's hair.

I imagine that when Tyhry was young, Manny trained Tyhry to program femtobots by allowing Tyhry to learn how to use hair and clothing nanites. Tyhry's skill with hair and clothing nanites made it possible for Tyhry to begin transitioning her body from its conventional human form to its tryp'At form: she could still hide her tryp'At features.

 Manny the bumpha. Tyhry was created and grew up on Earth as a secret agent in training for Manny. Possible reasons for Tyhry's existence and her special training as a bumpha Interventionist agent have been explored in stories such as  "191988", "Downgrade", "The Sims" and "Plūribus ē Spatium".

Updated version with "Tyhry".

 The Mind Clones. As a tryp'At, Tyhry grew up learning how to use her telepathic abilities. In 2019, I developed the idea that Tyhry was part of a Mind Clone Network. Thus, Tyhry grew up not having to learn the telepathic mind pattern of Roxzel.

 Telepathy. Writing stories about Tyhry has provided me with opportunities to explore the challenge of providing humans with telepathic abilities. In a few stories featuring Tyhry, there is also consideration of the possibility that a person with telepathic abilities could use telekinesis (see "The Mystery of the Missing Motor Neurons" and, Figure 4, below).

and Amiante at Observer Base.

For example, Roxzel was born inside the Asimov Reality Simulation, but Tyhry and Roxzel could telepathically communicate even when Tyhry was in the Final Reality. As discussed in a 2019 blog post, I imagine that the mind clones Tyhry, Roxzel, Marda, Dysyn, Alexina and Amiante are all tryp'At. The tryp'At are a human variant that was designed by the bumpha to efficiently use technology-assisted telepathy. 

 Dimensional Structure of the Universe. As explained in the 2019 blog post titled "Lakum", the tryp'At were crafted by making use of Asterothrope and Preland gene combinations. Before the Final Reality, the physical laws of the universe allowed for the existence of a fundamental particles called the twitino. When they altered the Dimensional Structure of the Universe while ending the Time Travel War, the Huaoshy also put an end to the use of twitino-mediated telepathy. 

Figure 4. And telekinesis, too.

While the tryp'At use a different type of telepathy that depends on having a zeptite endosymbiont, some of the Asterothrope and Preland gene combinations make for a human brain structure that facilitates any type of telepathy by helping keep distinct a person's own thought and the thoughts of other people who they telepathically communicate with.

 Marda. Marda was born at just about the same time as Tyhry. As the daughter of Rylla, Marda grew up in Australia, but during frequent family visits, Tyhry and Marda became close friends and developed the ability to communicate telepathically. Manny of my science fiction stories that feature Tyhry also include Marda (for example, see Part 2 of "The Cythyrya Investigation").
