Not everyone can take everyone's memory

1000002026The deep futureDeadline · 100 years until the common communications network ends

Civilisational assumption

All people, institutions, events, figures, and future technologies in every issue are a synthetic premise. Background documents are sources for topic discovery and are not evidence of future facts or probabilities.

The question to decide

If the communities leave, the common communications network cannot be maintained, and there are not enough resources to copy the whole record for everyone. A shared common record holds less of each community's particular needs, and splitting the records into different ones makes it hard to reuse other strands of material. Will the last joint council distribute the records together, or leave it to each community's own choice?

AI-generated editorial illustration for the Meridian library.

The options

The order shown is not a ranking of preference.

  1. Option 1

    Replicate the common core record to everyone

    Leaves a shared starting point, but reduces regional needs and diversity.

  2. Option 2

    Divide different records by branch

    Preserves diversity as a whole, but each can no longer use the others' data.

  3. Option 3

    Each community chooses independently

    Makes local responsibility clear, but knowledge may disappear for everyone.

The situation as it stands

In this setting, the communities cannot maintain a common communications network after moving. Decision deadline: 100 years until the common communications network ends.

Fictional ultra-long-term diaspora civilization

  1. Premise 1In this setting, the communities cannot maintain a common communications network after moving.
  2. Premise 2Because the full record cannot be replicated into every branch, some of knowledge, language, and life data must be selected.
  3. Premise 3Each community values differently the records it needs for its own life and the memory of the common origin.

Where it holdsAgrees on the records and resource distribution of the participating community. Cannot guarantee later reconnection or the form of descendant civilizations.

What is still unknown

  1. Unknown 1Expressions and media that far-separated descendants can decipher
  2. Unknown 2The far future value of knowledge that does not look important now

Signals to decide again

  • Decide what observation, responsible party, and confirmation window can verify 'expressions and media that far-separated descendants can decipher', and re-judge when new verification changes the tradeoff among the options.
  • Decide what observation, responsible party, and confirmation window can verify 'the far future value of knowledge that does not look important now', and re-judge when new verification changes the tradeoff among the options.
Where the paths partNot answers — paths that part from the same starting point
Independent branch 1 · synthetic event

It becomes clear that some records cannot be deciphered without a translating agent that exists now.

Independent branch 2 · synthetic event

One community proposes to take on more copies of the common records by reducing its own survival margin.

Material and rootsThe frame, the values and the background documents

What is an irreversible connection, and what does an exchange without a common language presuppose?

An exploratory perspective chosen by the creator. Does not claim supernatural validity or the superiority of any particular option.
Values and norms

The benefits and costs of the options accrue to different stakeholders. Which loss to accept remains undecided.

A subject for the decision-maker to argue over; the materials carry no conclusion of their own.
