4th Formulation [Audio//Common]
[A string of emotionally draining days has left Lucrecia holed up in her room, pestering the heck out of Turks that aren't her ex or his commander for food and supplies--hey, they need to earn their keep. She's been tabulating equations, memory jogged by a few key texts, and has now reached the point she is deeply involved in visualizing... some pursuit. Most likely to no other purpose than a wondrous distraction. She flicks on the audio mid-thought, the habit of using a voice recorder while researching a difficult one to break.]
... in relation to p. The issue being p has no relevance in this case, as the technical parent generation is not a population, but an individual. Yet, the principles of cloning don't apply either, as, considering the utter lack of corporeal form of Subject C, obvious genetic information will be missing: a necessary supply from the host.
Further, this is moving under the assumption Subject C has any sort of tangible memetic legacy moreso than this... "essence." Can essence have the build blocks of proteins, matter to create matter, when it itself is not matter? Or is it truly not matter? Plasmic matter?
Mako is plasmic matter, isn't that what is stated? Tangible, consumable, having a form visible to the naked eye, in fact. And there has been a visible manifestation...
except...
Ah, the scrapings. Those contained traces of protein, did they not? Though, in a form that was almost a sort of... anti-matter. Still, I recall a traceable helix formation, though we never established identification for recognizable molecular compounds. The illusion of matter?
This is all such a complete impossibility and I know I'm going around in... cir-cles. Wait... The new sub--
[There's a rustle of pages.] Virology? I don't... it's still genetic materiel, corporeality on a microscopic level.
Think, Lucrecia, think... The nature of the planet... Interrelated and yet independent energy field capable of some kind of unconscious, rudimentary collective intelligence leading to the creation of life, springing directly from...
BOSON PARTICLES!!!
Could a force capable of toying with subatomic particles will DNA into being? ... And would this establish a capability necessary to infuse a being in such a way as to induce a temporary and controllable infusion...
[She's debating whether she really wants to finish that thought. And is going to hit post without really thinking about it.]
