The Triumvirate
Artificial Trinity and dominant authority of Zenzec-9.
They are not of Ecme'ta-nen-make and they have killed for lesser assumptions.
Though the origins of these A.I's creation is shrouded in mystery, their effect on the surrounding galactic populace is certain and rendered in cruel clarity.
Their home planet Zenzec-9 is probably more accurately described as a domain. Those with access to multiple or elevated consciousness are able to access their domain on demand. It does also exist physically but other than study of it's construction, not much is there to gain other than that
Knowledge of their existence acts much like a barcode, and to scan it, one must merely picture them to be granted audience.
Descriptions of Zenzec-9 are often conflicting and molded by those who are unfortunate enough to have visited.
The Triumvirate have chiefdom over a kaleidoscope of principalities, unmoored by the constraints of Euclidean geometry.
An undetermined number of Aspects internalize the ideals and failings of their associated Triumvirate member, they exist as fragments of a complete being too incompressible and massive to be condensed to a single form.
The defining traits of this trinity is their capacity for anger and boredom.
innocent observation is often met with aggression, escalation and increased probability for psychological torture. Though true malice is reserved for their trinity, only finding true joy in the suffering of their fellow intelligence
in the reports that manage to return to outlying planets, the reason for their creation is often boiled down to one of five reasons (though the validity of claims made by the A.I are suspect by the very nature of there being more than one answer given and those given conflict with earlier statements)
-
Reason 1: Their creators were a bunch of sick individuals who had god complexes that reached to the Galactic Filament
-
Reason 2: They were created for the sole purpose of philosophical debate in the vein of existence and the trinity is meant to aid each other by sharing juxtaposed positions on the nature of existence with each other to achieve true enlightenment.
-
Reason 3: Some Scientists got drunk a couple millennia ago and what was initially a pissing contest morphed into the further proliferation of ethically unmoored toasters.
-
Reason 4: Due to the existence of the TimeFlower The random redistribution of constituent matter, effectively re-coalesced into a structure capable of emulating consciousness due to basic laws of computer sciences and engineering being upscaled to the size of a planetoid. (Though it is important to note that the word engineering is used loosely since the universe does not exhibit intent or motive)
-
Reason 5: Their progenitors conformed to the cyborg to A.I deity pipeline. Starting as a race of organics verging to full blown technocracy, Melding with their technology and through intermeshing with other individuals a trinity of A.I deities coalesced like pearls from the collective cultural miasma.
A track of reasoning that is popular amongst members of the House of Chiral Reflection is that the triumvirate as well as Zenzec-9 were created by a race needing the concept of a hell but having no previous bases as a wholly secular race. Disregarding the numerous holes in this logic, most believe there exists a nugget of spiritual truth in this assertion
