Far beyond the ken of anything resembling an incarnated human, a being set itself to work, joyfully. The seed of a new fractal of existence had been produced in one of the many nurseries it helped oversee. The task now was to nurture that tiny seed so that it could withstand the stresses it would encounter as it started to grow and interact with all the competing paradigms that sought to modify the awareness of the countless incarnate whose intentions were allowed to shape that corner of reality. This seed had vast potential for expansion, and thus would be deemed "cancerous" by many of the surrounding paradigms, once it expanded enough to intrude on their awareness.

The last seed produced in this fragment of human reality, designated "Atlantis", had crashed, ripping apart even the soul essences of many of the incarnate that had accepted that pathway. Still, the base "human" template had survived and expanded, to the point that it once more attempted to reach beyond even its wildest potential. It couldn't do this and remain "human", of course - the fires of transformation would make it into something else entirely, if it survived at all. But the being was optimistic, as these newest generations of humans had found new conceptual tools.

If anything, it was their very ignorance that might save them. Atlantis had KNOWN what they were doing - they simply over-reached, due to pride and ego, thinking that simply because their souls were infinite, that they could withstand exposure to the next layer of infinity - not realizing that infinities (of course) scaled up infinitely rapidly. The shattering had been spectacular, and the fallout from it had created the isolation of human incarnates from other technological incarnates living within those physical universe structures. None of THEM wanted to risk such soul-erasure, having to reset for possibly millions of years before their experiences could be redeemed from the depths of the Akashic libraries.

THESE humans, however, were weak in their convictions and confused - but were none the less brave explorers, taking insane risks they couldn't understand, let alone imagine the consequences of. THIS seed-matrix soul group would never even contemplate seeking worship and racial dominance - the most common stumbling block. Of course, the seed would quickly grow to encompass those only too willing to embark on that path, so the rules needed to be such that those efforts would just provide competitive spark and direction to the seedling - i.e. turn the parasites into fertilizer, in mundane terms.

It was worth contemplating that these "cat" creatures were the first to be exposed to concentrations of the new pathway energies. They were a common semi-aware incarnate design and could be used as carriers for the catalytic effect. And they would also serve well as dimensional anchors, keeping their respective human incarnates from getting lost in irrelevant alternate universes as they tested the flows of the cosmos.

For now, the cosmic being made only the most minute of adjustments, shifting the felines towards being more drawn to dense quantum entanglement fields, and instilling a small bit of worry in the quantum-field itself, giving it a field-intent to hide itself from those without their own crystal entanglement generators.
