"This
planet has every environment we know that can sustain the growth of
biological life except for extremals. That is in a temperature range
of between 100 degrees below zero Fahrenheit and 200 degrees above
zero F. These habitats support the full range of plant and animal
life that can develop, although not in every possible permutation.
Our neighboring planets have tried to support their own portion of
the rainbow of ecospheres in their own preferred wavelengths of the
spectrum.
The
eleven cities of Calvin Luther-Caesar occupy just eleven of the sixty
four circles of potential habitation or wilding amidst the large
interstitial spaces between the circles.
The
human habitation circles each represent healthy positions on a global
chessboard of sixty squares (we have circled the squares rather than
vice versa so forgive us for that if you will). Each city is built
with an adapted architectural design style based on an ancient Earth
civilization. These cities have broad avenues for wildlife to journey
safely amidst the cities that for humans begin effectively on the
second level. It is on layer one however, amidst the wildlife of
Calvin Luther-Caesar, that the battle is being fought.”
“If
I may ask Solomon, where did the paradigm of the chessboard come
from, as it applies to topology?”
“Carla
the original topology of the chessboard arose from ancient Afghan
warlords battle planning. I had an innovation of my own that brought
me to suggest it to the CLC priesthood of believers.”
“And
what was that Solomon?” Carla asked.
“Each
square of a chessboard may be likened to the surface membrane of a
holographic Universe with four space-time directions. Below each
square is another complete chessboard with individual Universes of
their own replete with infinite recursion. That is a model of a
Multiverse, and the relationship of positions of pieces and pawns on
each chessboard and its squares over time determines the
configuration of the gravitational field of each Universe and the
composite, specific mass and energy endowment of each Universe as
expressed in its total gravity. The Multiverse itself and all of its
chessboard hang in nothingness in a way that expresses the sum of the
gravitational configurations of all of the chessboards of the
Multiverse as they gestalt their power through extra-dimensional,
extra-chessboard super-positioning of gravitational fields.”
I
said; “Yes Solomon, I can see how that would be an inspiration for
adapting city planning ideas for a planet's surface. It also suggests
to me primitive circular irrigation patterns viewed from above.”
