"Nodes" (see recent posts):
develop new realms of mathematics;
create art;
observe organic life on planets orbiting different stars;
fabricate life in order to observe its development;
engage in myriad other matters, some transcending human concepts;
communicate continuously, thus generating the galactic brain whose viewpoint we do not see;
eventually remember Earth and decide to investigate;
transmit this decision to the settlement nearest to Sol.
Kaor, Paul!
ReplyDeleteAh! The plot thickens! The "nodes" of the "galactic brain" had become curious about Gaia's evasive, less than forthcoming communications with them.
