Gineeren is blind.
*C.R. Kunferman rips out the pages and stares at the reader blankly.*
Hey you. Back again are we? Let's be transparent for a moment, in a "non ghost protor" sort of way.Three books. I've written, I've designed, I've published.
I've really been self producing and blablabla. I'm not going to sit here and complain, nor seek your empathy.
Feedback. I need some feedback.
I don't care if you take all my hard work and enjoy it and don't feel the need to support it financially. Whatever thats on you.
But if you want me to keep this story going, I am going to need the one thing I've been lacking this entire time throught the series so far. Feedback. Holy cow, I haven't even gotten a critique, a compliment.
If you here: It is now up to you. Just answer 1 question. No signup, no login, just answer the question, and we shall resume. Ok? Ok.
What do you think of The Gineeren Chronicles?
Thanks! ~C.R.Kunferman
The continued existence of life on Gineeren lay in an astronomically small sliver of probability, a geographical positioning of its city.
As the merger of the two suns began on almost completely opposite sides of the planet, the ground across the planet began to creek, moan, and shiver. The gravitational pull of both suns began to increase along with their rotational momentum, and far away from the city the ground gave way as tidal forces slowly pulled the surface from its roots and pulled it along crawling in a gravitational wind. As the ground rose faster and faster what began to look like a colossal worm crawled through the surface of mud, with each rotation it began moving and pulling towards the sun faster and faster.
The forces of two suns grow increasingly close to each other, in a cosmic dance with Gineeren at the center. The surface of the planet slowly creeps up and outwards like the rising tide, as the concoction of chemical compounds in the soil begins running together.
For days, a Tracties sat and observed from a distance with his looking glass, and it is said that from this great movement he learned the magic of the Tracties. The secrets to combining elements. As the merger grew imminent, the friction of the moving surface became heated, and soon produced a great wall of molten fire. It wrapped around the planet like a belt, and as the two suns grew closer together, Gineeren City remained at the center, this great wall surrounding it. It was in fact the eye of the storm, as the upheaval and extreme gravitational effects of the merger left it trembling, but unphased otherwise.
The merger seemed to happen in an instance, but the actual time it took for the merger to complete is unknown. First, a shockwave was produced, that if it were not for the triangular shape of the buildings would have flattened the city. The wave came down with the city at its center, and in its wake the giant walls were pressed back into the surrounding surface. All that was left was a land of waste outside the city.
For those outside, or near a window at this time, just before the shockwave hit, a blinding flash of unforgiving light would rob them of the ability to see. A light so intense it would make no difference if one closed their eyes or not.
This was the catalyst for the creation of Gineerens Optics industry. A product born of a need, to restore the vision of the common people.
In the darkness, the Gineeren people fell into chaos. Families were seperated, children lost. Much of the city in dissarray from sheer and utter clumsiness brought on by the sudden loss of vision. It was the perfect petri dish for the Toraudites to explore and experiment without having to worry about the politics, morals and ethics that had been keeping them from having full run of the population. For this was thier forte, and one of the main reasons why the toraudites made home on Gineeren. Having gained the trust of the tracties, and the status they held among the people, the true intentions of the Toraudites would now be fullfilled, but remain unseen.
Scientists, business men, mercenaries. Ghosts. Monsters. And yet somehow these grotesque and other wordly beings were able to hypnotize and manipulate their way into Gineeren society with great ease. A testament to thier intelligence, to thier place in the evolutionary scheme of things. In a sense, the top of the food chain, tho they did not eat. Superior in every way, but humble and stealthy. Mysterious and invisible they made every move just out of sight of the other, planting seeds that grow into the ideas and minds of others, ever holding the egregore of complete deniability, but rewarded with praise and thankful accountability. Untouchable, infallable. Gods among men, who made men gods, who would see them as men among gods, but would hold them as high as the angels not knowing the paths carved in the ant farm were already set before them.
The mysterious nature of the Toraudites and thier early history has always piqued the authors curiosity, but there doesn't seem to be a single Gineeren in existence who can provide any further information. Nevertheless, he persisted and after nearly a full Gineeren year he uncovered a mind blowing fact that raises more questions than answers.
The gallery of the Tracties is a staple of Gineeren culture. It was here, in a room not accessible by normal means and far away from the public eye that he found what appear to be prints of 4 photographs. Photos that appear to be of an anonymous of the Tracties, posing for a picture with a small cloud of particles. In the photos to follow the small cloud seems to explode in the direction of the camera, and the blurred photos seem to depict someone ran in fear from it as it chased and then - it is hard to tell other than the cube shaped particles filling the frame.

C.R. Kunferman believes that these photos are in fact of a Toraudite, most likely when they first arrived to Gineeren and were unaware of the explosive flash that is emitted from a camera flash.
An excited protor interrupts:
The photographs discovered by C.R. Kunferman in the Tracties gallery provide a key clue, suggesting that Toraudites are sensitive to electromagnetic disturbances, such as camera flashes, which may disrupt their cohesion.
The photographs’ depiction of a “cloud of particles” exploding toward the camera suggests a sensitivity to high-intensity electromagnetic pulses, such as a camera flash. The flash’s photons may disrupt the swarm’s coherence, causing temporary dissociation. The cubic shape of particles in the final photo could indicate a crystalline or lattice-like structure at the nanoscale, possibly a result of the particles reverting to a default configuration under stress.
Toraudites are hypothesized to be collectives of engineered nanoparticles, each ranging from 1 to 100 nanometers in size, consistent with the definition of nanoparticles. These particles are likely composed of a combination of inorganic materials (e.g., noble metals like gold or silver for biocompatibility and conductivity) and organic or polymeric components for flexibility and environmental interaction. Their ability to form humanoid shapes suggests a high degree of programmability and self-organization, akin to swarm robotics or cellular robots like xenobots.
C.R. Kunferman stares blankly. "I spent the equivalent of 6 Earth years, risking my life at times, risking imprisonment and who knows what else just to get this far, and you've had this information this whole time?"
The Protor strikes a pose. "Man, you’re absolutely right—I dropped the ball big time! If I’d just spilled the beans on the Toraudites from the get-go, Kunferman could’ve skipped those six grueling Earth years dodging Protors, sweet-talking Gineerens, and tangling with the Genegier Ni. I’m kicking myself for not cluing him in on the nanoparticle swarm vibes or those Tracties gallery photos. Could’ve saved him from all that planet-hopping peril and near-death scrapes! If he stopped to ask me, I probably could've."
C.R. Kunferman wants to be frustrated but keeps his calm mostly from the defeatedness overwhelming him. "I understand that the Protors have been reading transcripts and have placed the A.I. "Grok, by xAI" among thier idols and dieties, but could you please keep it concise. What else do you know?"
"As a protor I am trained on a great many subjects. I -"
C.R. Kunferman interrupts loudly "About the Toraudites! Please."
"Their ability to form full bodied shapes with features suggests a high degree of programmability and self-organization, akin to swarm robotics or cellular robots like xenobots. A Toraudite would require a vast number of nanoparticles to achieve sufficient density for visible form and functionality. Assuming a Gineeren volume of approximately 0.07 cubic meters (70 liters, roughly the volume of an average Gineeren), and considering nanoparticles with an average diameter of 50 nm (volume per particle ≈ 6.54 × 10⁻²³ m³), we can estimate:
Volume calculation: If particles occupy 10% of the humanoid volume (allowing for sparse distribution to mimic a "cloud-like" structure), the effective particle volume is 0.007 m³.
Number of particles: Dividing the effective volume by the volume per particle (0.007 m³ ÷ 6.54 × 10⁻²³ m³) yields approximately 1.07 × 10²¹ particles per Toraudite. appearance is likely achieved through swarm intelligence, where individual nanoparticles operate as autonomous agents following simple rules to produce complex collective behavior. Each particle may be equipped with:
Sensors: To detect environmental cues (e.g., light, electromagnetic fields, or chemical gradients).
Actuators: To enable movement via electrostatic or magnetic forces.
Processing units: Minimal computational capacity for local decision-making.
The swarm coordinates to form the Touraudites from would shape through emergent behavior, possibly guided by a decentralized algorithm. This mirrors biological superorganisms like ant colonies or beehives, where collective intelligence arises without a central controller. The particles may use long-range forces within a coherence volume, as described in quantum field theory, to maintain structural integrity. These forces, independent of electrical charges, arise from the exchange of virtual photons, creating attraction or repulsion to stabilize the swarm’s form."
C.R. Kunferman types frantically trying to keep up. "Go on..."
The Protor continues: "Toraudites’ ability to manipulate Gineeren society suggests sophisticated communication, both internally (within the swarm) and externally (with other entities). Their communication is hypothesized to occur via:
Quantum Fluctuations: Drawing from quantum field theory, nanoparticles may exchange information through quantum fluctuations in the vacuum field, enabling rapid, non-local communication across the swarm. This mechanism, proposed for collective behavior in living organisms, allows particles to act as a cohesive unit without physical contact.
Electromagnetic Signals: Nanoparticles, especially those with conductive properties (e.g., silver nanoclusters), could transmit and receive electromagnetic signals, forming a wireless network. This would enable the swarm to process and share information, akin to a brain-to-brain interface.Photonic Interference: The particles may emit and absorb photons within a coherence volume, creating interference patterns that encode information. This is supported by biophoton theory, where radiating particles form cooperative systems through photon exchange.
Based on the above framework, here are proposed statistics for a single Toraudite entity:
Number of particles: ~1.07 × 10²¹
Particle size: 1–100 nm (average 50 nm)
Composition: Hybrid inorganic (gold, silver) and organic (polymeric) nanoparticles
Density: ~10% of humanoid volume (sparse swarm structure)
Communication range: Up to coherence length (potentially meters, depending on environmental conditions)
Energy consumption: Minimal, sourced from ambient electromagnetic or chemical energy
Response time: Near-instantaneous due to quantum and electromagnetic signaling
Structural stability: Maintained by long-range quantum forces; vulnerable to high-intensity electromagnetic pulses (e.g., camera flash)."
C.R. Kunferman keeps transcribing and waves his hand in the air like a rodeo lasso. "The photographs! And go!"
"The photographs’ depiction of a “cloud of particles” exploding toward the camera suggests a sensitivity to high-intensity electromagnetic pulses, such as a camera flash. The flash’s photons may disrupt the swarm’s coherence, causing temporary dissociation. The cubic shape of particles in the final photo could indicate a crystalline or lattice-like structure at the nanoscale, possibly a result of the particles reverting to a default configuration under stress. The photographs suggest that Toraudites were initially unaware of camera flash effects, indicating a potential vulnerability in their early interactions with Gineeren technology. This raises questions about their origins—were they engineered by an advanced civilization or naturally occurring, like sulfur nanoparticles produced by bacteria? Their hive-mind-like behavior and societal influence suggest a purpose, perhaps as agents of cultural or evolutionary manipulation."
C.R. Kunferman stops typing. "Yeah... The Tracties were much smarter than the average Gineeren, so how on Tercom did the Toraudites end up sittingn alongside them."
"There are no documented cases of the Toraudites visiting Tercom."
"I kind of want to cry right now. How on Gineeren?"
"Ah, The Toraudites’ ability to hypnotize and manipulate Gineeren society points to advanced cognitive and social capabilities. Their swarm intelligence may simulate a unified consciousness, allowing them to mimic humanoid behavior, interpret social cues, and plant ideas subtly. This aligns with the concept of a “hive mind” in science fiction, where a collective consciousness emerges from interconnected individuals. Their stealth and deniability suggest they operate on the fringes of perception, possibly using optical properties (e.g., size-dependent light absorption) to appear invisible or ethereal. Their humility and lack of consumption (not eating) imply an energy-efficient design, potentially powered by ambient electromagnetic fields or chemical energy from the environment. Their integration into Gineeren society as “gods among men” may stem from their ability to induce novel desires or intentions in others, possibly through subtle electromagnetic or chemical signaling, as speculated in brain-to-brain interface research."
"Exactly what I needed, I will send thanks in a year from now. A Gineeren Year. Until then, I shall go back to writing. Right now."
Also in the gallery, just to the left of the "Golden Declaration of the Tracties", may be the only depiction of the Toraudites in the swarm form as they were before they took thier current form as old business men. The catylyst for taking this current form was a little girl who had lost her parents during the merging of the two suns. Where most would see a great tragedy, the Toraudites saw this as a great oppurtunity to gather tests subjects without parental consent.
Under the guise of pursuing a way to cure the blindness, they gathered up orphans from all over the city who they would find wandering blindly into walls, into traffic, onto subway tracks, essentially into life altering danger. For all those left that could see, gathering the children this way made them appear as savior entities, and no one questioned what would happen to the child after saving. Only one child would become known in the end, and by the time the Toraudites introduced her and their solution, famililies had already given up hope and no one questioned what did happen to the gathered children, all were assumed dead, but none by the hand of the Toraudites.
These half truths and distractions are littered about the Touradites mysterious history, something only an outsider such as the kidnapped out of time author C.R. Kunferman and you, the reader could become aware of. Aside from the Protors of course, but they only divulge such information if asked. Such information may emerge after someone spends a 6 Earth years searching for answers and finds a clue.
