The Nimbus Project

Large scale engineering project being carried out by the Negentropy Alliance as an experiment in creating an immortal mind.

The Nimbus Project seeks to incorporate a mind into an artificially generated electron-positron plasma able to survive in the low energy conditions expected to prevail several hundred billion to several trillion years in the future.

In the first phase of the project, started in 10491, experiments in positron plasma generation are being carried out in the region of the neutron star Beta Theonimus. In the second phase of the project, expected to begin within a century, attempts will be made to create a stable mix of electron-positron pairs. In the third phase, to be carried out in intergalactic space several hundred light-years below the galactic plane, an attempt will be made to both generate a large scale plasma structure and to impose a stable pseudo-neural pattern within it.

The linelayer carrying the wormhole gate to be used for the project's third phase is currently en route and scheduled to arrive at its destination coordinates in only 600 years.

The Nimbus Project, Infiltration of

It is thought that the first phase of the Nimbus Project is being heavily datamined/infiltrated by various warchives and polities for useful information and tech designs.

Nirio

former Utopia sphere system.

Colonised in 6384 by an AI consortium setting up a baseline reservation and a local To'hul utopia. Attacked by the Paradigm in 7439 and optimized with little loss of life. Despite Utopia demands during the Jekaumeatrine negotiations it remained in Paradigm control. At present it is one of the most industrialised Paradigm systems. The local baselines and to'huls are believed to live essentially unchanged lives in the near-star virtuality.

nirvana

in Buddhism and related forms of classical and neo-classical mysticism and theosophy, the cessation of embodied existence through return to the Absolute Reality. Moksha is equivalent.

Jon N'mabbo

[3487-c.5110 (standard year)] Real Estate salesman and later Pazist Universalist Church leader, became convinced that Paz's "Pleroma" was the open cluster NGC 5460; led 5000 pilgrams to colonise the Morpheo system, died in transit following sabatage of the hypersleep banks. Although the entire system has long since been optimized by the Efficency Maximization Paradigm, many uploaded virtuals, not aware of their fate, are still awaiting his resurrection.
