A small group of magicians
joyfully sets out to permeate the universe with benign intelligence.
The milestone grails of their joyful astral quest
traverse magnetic temporality through a crystalline lattice
enabling mind displacement and personality reconstruction.

The magicians collaborate,
presenting experimental findings on blackboards,
imagery, language, sound and various other forms of media.
They devise a roadmap for the exponential ingression
of intelligence into inanimate matter;
engineering intelligence computation at a molecular level.

M., a magician, describes to a colleague the experiments he has just conducted.
“We lowered the sphere and raised the sphere.”
In response, his collaborator R. replies using an informal magic language.
It identifies and conflates the magician with the object being invoked.
a geometric intelligence expansion from inner space to human scale to outer space scale.
R. asks, “Is there a possibility that he hasn’t seen anything real?"
The pronoun ‘he’ refers to both M. and the object or process under investigation.
M. sharply interjects “It is possible… when I come down I’m in the material state”.

Through this altered form of communication
they may succeed in remembering all that which they have not done.
The magicians refer to themselves
as both the agents and the experiencers of phenomena.
This is difficult to understand all at once.
