2025:

• Early 2025 (implied by “overrun”): The world changes as AI consumes more resources, quantum technology requires nuclear power, and the grid goes down. Wind turbines and solar panels become relics.

• July 3, 2025: “soul:happy burst one” (the article/discussion about the poem) is published. It discusses concepts like “hyper-soul,” “acquisition of signal,” “neutrino star wave transmissions,” “FTL travel,” and mentions “the explosion of the last known space-x rocket” taking “ten thousand souls.”

Ongoing/Unspecified Dates:

• Json and his team are part of “the resistance,” operating from “grandmother’s house,” powered by solar panels with failing batteries. They are outside the reach of surveillance drones and patrols.
• “hyper:soul” is an ongoing sci-fi project including a graphic novel, podcast, and text index.
• The “hyper-soul” concept involves “supraconsciousness” and “hyper:wave” allowing individuals to “know” things before they happen.
• The “first black moment” is an event in the “hyper:soul” narrative.

Cast of Characters

• Json: The main protagonist and narrator of several sources, including “Time:Now” and “overrun.” He is a leader of a group, possibly “the resistance,” and is trying to understand and explain complex concepts like “Time:Now” and “hyper-soul.” He is prepping for societal collapse, seeks his father’s help, and cares for his team. He is also depicted as a character in the hyper -soul graphic novel.
• Astrid: A key member of Json’s team. She is perceptive, excited by discoveries (like the Keurig pods), and receptive to Json’s philosophical explanations, though sometimes scared by them. She is also featured in the graphic novel, I Was An English Teacher (Astrid Beside Me).
• Json’s Dad: Mentioned by Json in “Time:Now” as someone he wants to confide in and hopes can help him and Astrid comprehend the “Time:Now” concepts. His whereabouts or current status are unknown.
• Kurt Vonnegut: A satirist and genius writer from the 20th century (1922-2007). He is credited with discovering the concept of time being “all at once” and introducing the Tralfamadorians in his 1969 novel Slaughterhouse-Five.
• Ram Das: A figure associated with the “Be Here Now” philosophy, popular in the 1960s and 1970s.
• The Tiny Prince / King: A malevolent figure who, in 2025, gains immense power by “screaming more power” into his social media platform, which becomes an “echo chamber for his malevolent prophecies.” He eventually makes the president his “pawn” and becomes a “king.”
• Orderlies: Characters mentioned in “Time:Now” who periodically remove a “large and spicy gentleman” from a hospital setting when his exclamations become too frequent.
• Large and Spicy Gentleman: A character in the “Time:Now” explanation of a hypothetical alternate timeline (or mental state) who yells “No Pussy!” due to syphilis affecting his brain.
• Tralfamadorians: Extraterrestrial beings from Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-Five. They exist in all times simultaneously and possess knowledge of future events, including the universe’s destruction.
• Unnamed Team Members: Json’s colleagues who help him explore the warehouse of Keurig pods and are part of his wider group or “the resistance.”
• Grandmother: Mentioned as the owner of “grandmother’s house,” where Json and the resistance are hunkered down. Her current status or direct involvement is not detailed.
• Naked Emperor: A figure mentioned in the poem “soul:happy burst one,” associated with “fresh batteries, solar panels,” and the “explosion of the last known space-x rocket.”
• Master of Coin: An individual or entity who serves as the “puppet master” to the “Tiny Prince” (who is described as a “puppet” to this master).

Scientists from the University of Southern California have proposed a new rule for biology called Selectively Advantageous Instability (SAI). SAI explores how instability can actually benefit a cell or organism. Instability allows for greater genetic diversity, which can make organisms more adaptable. A shorter cell component lifespan can actually help promote cell health. Understanding the process could aid in the exploration of the biological processes behind disease and aging.
