Description
Tempo is an uploaded human who turned herself into a living song in the infosphere to prepare herself for a journey that should help her find the beauty in her soul.
Home Environment: The Spheres
Imagine a vast, gloaming void filled with silver outlines of orbs and ovals the size of moons. They're all in elliptical orbits around each other, all driving algorithms approximating waves of gravity created by their motions. You can hear them grinding against each other at a distance in the firmament. Then paint the sound of the waves with a kaleidoscope of colors, flowing through the black as a synesthetic aurora filled with experience and meaning, unfolding at the speed of understanding.
In this ocean of music-that-is-light swims Tempo, a line in the song of existence that shines brilliantly in the dark. With each winding pass she inexorably rises up to lead the chorus. If you've been invited here then she will guide you through it lest you drown in conceptual spaces beyond your understanding.
