Located at the edge of
Disarchy territory, near both the
Negentropy
Alliance and
NoCoZo borders, Evermore is a blend of the Negentropy,
NoCoZo and
Caretaker characteristics found in its creator, the
collective
archailect known as
The Twelve. There you will find a world
where resources are managed to ensure survival into the distant future,
a thriving
nanotopia market place and even protected nature parks
supporting enormous populations of wildlife.
History
In 4772 a.t, following the
Version
War, The Twelve acquired full
development rights to the uninhabited Altus Lucror planetary system
– located at the edge of NoCoZo space along the Negentropy
Alliance border. While the market analysts of the time considered the
move risky, they all agreed it could be a very lucrative venture.
Regional instability had driven the purchase price down far below
potential investment value, and if stability could be maintained The
Twelve looked to show an enormous profit margin. As no entities below
the
third
singularity were involved in the transaction the exact
details of the transaction remain unknown to the
modosophont populace.
Within a year of the acquisition eir
ISO appeared within Altus Lucror
to begin aligning resources for the future development process. Due to
the speed of this arrival, some analysts have speculated that The
Twelve anticipated the acquisition years in advance, and dispatched the
ISO
accordingly.
Immediately after arriving the ISO discovered a mining company
operating on a moon orbiting one of the systems large jovians. Zeek27B,
the
first
singularity transapient leading the operation, was claiming
squatter’s rights to the moon and a few metal rich asteroids.
Records show that The Twelve did not challenge their claim, and despite
having legal rights to do so did not demand their departure.
Interestingly, e allowed the miners to make the decision for themselves
whether to remain or depart. The message also explained that The Twelve
would not take responsibility for their safety. Although leery, the
miners stayed and the two sides seemed able to work on their respective
projects in harmony.
This
truce continued for nearly five years until a linelayer appeared,
deploying a
grazer just outside the system. When the miners addressed
The Twelve regarding the grazer’s presence, e explained eir
intention to dismantle the entire system, including the primary. As
promised The Twelve intended to leave the miners their moon and even
the asteroids to which they had laid claim. E did express some concern
for their well being when the jovian they currently orbited was
consumed as grazer matter, but promised to be as gentle as might be
possible during such operations. Within days an agreement was reached
allowing the miners to be compensated for their claim, minus expenses,
and the company departed.
The
next major challenge was external to the Altus Lucror system. The
entire region was unstable and still suffering from post-Version War
political upheaval. In 6648 The Twelve, through a series of contract
buyouts, seceded from the NoCoZo and claimed political neutrality. It
was during this time that the seeds were sown that would later allow
Evermore to serve as a non-aligned diplomatic hub, promoting regional
stability.
In 6797 the
original system was completely dismantled, and with the raw materials
staged, construction began on the actual habitat complex. These
operations, including construction, ecology development and population
integration were complete by 9173.
The Construction of the Evermore
Habitats
System dismantling phase
The first step in the process was the disassembly of the planets. This
portion of the operation did not require any finesse, and therefore the
grazer was utilized to expedite the process. The mass of the planets,
and later a portion of the primary, was utilized for simple grazer
expansion. This expansion allowed for maximum efficiency during the
later star dismantling operations.
The primary (A5V star type, 2.0 solar masses) was dismantled using a
combination of advanced
star
lifting techniques. First, a series of
particle accelerators were set in stationary orbit around the stars
equator. Using these accelerators a powerful ring current was
established with its dipoles over the stars rotational poles. This
magnetic field also provided a secondary function of supporting the
accelerators against the stars gravity. By temporarily shutting the
ring current down it allowed the particle accelerators to begin falling
inwards toward the star. When enough velocity had been achieved the
accelerators would be reactivated, their fall would be reversed and the
resultant magnetic field would squeeze the star. By using multiple
groups of particle accelerators, set to rise and fall in cadence around
the star, constant pressure could be applied. Simultaneously
strategically placed
conversion
bombs were used to blast away the outer
most layers to release additional material. The entire process caused
vast amounts of stellar matter to be guided toward, and finally ejected
as jets through, the magnetic nozzles aligned with the stars rotational
poles. Using a mass beam supported magnetic tunnel structure the plasma
maintained a tight stream even over astronomical distances. This guided
the material ejected from the poles into the waiting grazer. Once
ejected from the other end of the grazer, another network began sifting
the stellar material into its various component elements. This material
was collected into spheres, the size of which was determined by
material density. The gravity generated by each sphere was carefully
maintained to ensure stability within the forming resource bank. While
it may have been possible to simply tear the entire system apart with
the grazer, it was determined that the higher level of control
outweighed the slight delay in project completion.
Populating the Complex
Type 1 cylinders were populated one at a time. These first generations
required 21.76 years from zygote production to installation as full
citizens. Filling all of the cylinders required just over two millennia
to complete.
Type 2 cylinders were handled slightly differently. Large numbers of
the required wildlife were grown and released to propagate on their
own. Over the millennia some species have grown to have populations
vastly larger than ever found on their home worlds. In some parks herds
hundreds of miles across can be found moving across the landscape.
Description
Evermore consists of three primary components: The ring framework, the
habitat cylinders and the fuel management system.
The ring framework itself is a complex maze of parts. Within the
framework is a series of inter-habitat
vac
trains, the permanent
magnets that form half of the cylinder rotation systems, the conversion
reactors that power the entire complex and the superconducting magnetic
energy storage (SMES) system.
Power for the entire complex is provided by a series of 240 independent
full conversion reactors (i.e monopole assisted fusion). Each reactor
is capable of burning 735 grams of hydrogen per second or enough fuel
to fully power 4 cylinders. The standard day-to-day operarting
procedure is to run each reactor at 25% capacity with a jump to 50%
capacity for maintenance operations. These reactors are connected to
the habitat via a dedicated AI maintained power grid. This dynamic
system is able to establish connections between any of the reactors and
any of the components of the Evermore complex that may potentially
require power.
Each cylinder has a dedicated SMES system built into the ring
framework. The SMES is designed to alleviate wasted resources, or more
specifically wasted fuel. If the conversion reactors burn fuel to
generate energy for the habitat and that energy goes unused, it is sent
to the SMES for storage. These systems have a storage capacity of
59.468e+18 Joules – or enough energy to power the population
allowance and angelnet for 24-hours. Before the core burns more fuel it
will first tap into this stored energy thereby conserving resources.
Since all of the environmental energy requirements are a constant, if a
habitat conducts normal operations, the SMES should never reach
anywhere near its storage potential. Each SMES is a cylinder 5000km
high and 2000km in diameter.
There are three types of cylinders within the overall structure of
Evermore.
Type 1 cylinders, also called moratustella, or civilized worlds, are
used as the primary habitats for the average citizens of Evermore. This
is where day-to-day life and business is conducted and where most
modosophonts spend the majority of their time. Within these
fundamentally identical population centers the
angelnet and other
safeguards provide peace and security to the inhabitants.
The internal ecology of the type 1 cylinders incorporates naturally
occurring wildlife, sea life and plant life from all eight of the
represented gaian worlds. Each was carefully selected for compatibility
and balance within the ecosystem with Terran life being given
preference.
On land there is a large array of non-predatory birds and wildlife.
Although most of these animals are maintained within the park areas, it
is not unusual for citizens to maintain pets. Pets are of both the
naturally occurring but also of the genetically engineered variety. Due
to the 100m x 100m plots allotted to each citizen for personal use,
keeping reasonably large pets is not a difficulty.
Incorporated into the ecology are a number of genetically engineered
insects used to maintain certain natural functions. An immediate
example of this are the non-stinging bees used to maintain a natural
cycle of pollination.
Within the oceans is a diverse grouping of life, also selected from the
represented gaian worlds, using the same criteria of compatibility and
long-term balance. Sea life may be of a predatory nature and both
citizens are visitors are dully warned of the possible dangers.
There are 100 type 1 cylinders with a standard hazard rating of 0.0 on
land and in protected beach areas. A
hazard
rating of 2.0 exists for
those in the oceans beyond the protected areas.
Type 2 cylinders are known as ferustella, or wild worlds. These are
used as nature parks and have widely varying internal environments
mimicking those found on
gaian worlds. In total 8 separate worlds are
represented within the Evermore complex. Environments tend to be
specific and cylinder wide with the entire ecology selected from a
single world. For example cylinder 103 houses a Terran tropical /
subtropical broadleaf forest. Much of the wildlife inhabiting these
reserves came from cell samples acquired as gifts or in trade from a
variety of Caretaker gods. Unlike the type 1 cylinders, wildlife on
land, in the air and in the sea may be of a predatory nature.
Access to the type 2 cylinders is strictly controlled and those who
venture there do so at their own risk. Visitors are expected to respect
the environment and safety is in the hands of the traveler. If a
visitor is careless and encounters danger the gods will not intervene.
However if a visitor acts in a way damaging to the environment
– shy of immediate self-defense – they will be
punished accordingly.
There are a total of 100 Type 2 cylinders with hazard ratings ranging
from 2 – 5.
Type 3 cylinders are the realms of transapients and modosophonts are
prohibited from entry by order of The Twelve. The locals call these the
deustella, or god-worlds. There are 40 type 3 cylinders and some of
these are occupied by a single entity and eir projects. From the
information occasionally provided by the more open transapients it
appears the policy is one of protection for modosophonts. In some cases
the projects being conducted there might be described as hazardous to
the careless or unknowing, and as the internal environment is often in
a state of flux, the opportunity for injury or death is extremely high.
Other type 3 cylinders have been described as
computronium banks
utilized by the transapients for one purpose or another and they simply
do not want modosophonts meddling around. Hazard ratings vary from 4
–
6.
The fuel management system is composed of four parts. The first portion
is the fuel supply itself, which is composed of 30 million spheres of
frozen hydrogen collected during the dismantling of the system and
later mining efforts. These spheres mass 10e+22 kg each and are set in
a static sphere formation several AU from the complex. The second
portion of the system is the dedicated AI craft that collect the
required materials and feed it into the mass beam assembly. There is a
constant stream of communication between the power grid and fuel
management AI in order to maintain fuel delivery at the required rates.
Supplied by a constant stream of material via the mass beams, the fuel
delivery system uses a dynamic array of smart matter tubes to deliver
the liquid fuel to any one of the 240 conversion reactors powering the
Evermore complex.
It is estimated that taking only the hydrogen supply into account,
collected when the primary was dismantled, there is enough fuel to
power the complex for 20e+17 years of continuous standard operations.
In addition to the hydrogen fuel the resource bank has large stockpiles
of helium (which alone measures over 10 million spheres), oxygen,
nitrogen, carbon, silicon, magnesium, iron, sulfur, aluminum and other
elements gathered from the dismantling of the system as well as other
mining efforts.
The current role of grazer wormholes
Over the years Evermore interests have acquired a small number of
additional uninhabited nearby star systems. All of these are lifeless,
some with and some without planetary systems. All are scheduled for
disassembly by grazer in order to stock the Evermore materials bank.
Acquisition usually involves the division of assets so that the
original owner gets a percentage of the material value of the system.
This allows all parties concerned access to the enormous material
wealth provided by the dismantling process.
In order to ensure a good balance of elemental materials, the grazers
gravity well is utilized in a manner similar to that seen in a standard
DWIZ. From there it is processed and stored as appropriate.
Culture and Society
Calendar & Local Time Keeping:
Due to the artificial nature of the environment local time is set on an
exact cycle of day/night and seasons. The local calendar is comprised
of 365 24-hour days in remembrance of their terran origins. The year is
divided into ten months and five holidays. A month is 6-weeks long, a
week is 6-days long, a day is 24-hours, an hour is 60-minutes and a
minute is 60-seconds. A second is defined as the time it takes light to
travel 299,792,458 meters in a vacuum.
Days are further divided into 4 periods: 1 hour of dawn, 14 hours of
light, 1 hour of dusk and 8 hours of night. There is no seasonal shift.
Clocks use a 24-hour time period starting at dawn. Therefore the first
moment of dawn would be displayed as 00:00:00 and the first moment of
dusk would be 15:00:00.
Holidays:
Every 72 days - or two months - there is an extra day inserted. These
are the official national holidays. Celebrations are three days long
including not only the actual holiday but also the two days preceding
it.
The five holidays are:
·
Founding: A patriotic holiday following the second month of the year. A
celebration of the building of Evermore. It is a day of friends, the
community and
also
recognition of The Twelve who makes such things possible.
·
Ascension: The celebration of self-improvement and striving to be more
than you are today. Ascension follows the fourth month of the year.
·
The
Challenge:: The Challenge is actually a sporting event / national
pastime and unlike the others it also includes the two days following
the holiday.
·
Origin: This holiday is a celebration of the past, hindsight, lessons
learned and a time of forgiveness. Origin follows the eighth month of
the year.
·
Pledge: The last day of the year. This holiday is a celebration of the
future and a time of dedication.
Type of government:
Benevolent dictatorship with rule by proxy. The Twelve maintains
complete authority within the system. Each type 1 or 2 cylinder is
sentient and a dedicated SI:1-2 AI
transavant specially designed by The
Twelve for the task. Serving the transavants are a number of S:1
agents, referred to as the Praesul. The Praesul are the public face of
authority and modosophonts rarely have interactions with anyone above
this office.
Crime & Punishment:
Criminal acts are assigned a value on a scale from 1 to 4. Penalties
are administered according to the position on the scale.
1 =
Fines & Restitution: Guilty parties may be
required to pay fines in addition to the cost of damages and
processing. Fines are assigned a percentage value from 1 –
20%. This value is applied against the criminal’s net worth
to determine the actual value of the fine.
2 =
Fines & Restitution + Memetic Counseling: This is the
largest category of crimes.
3 =
Fines & Restitution + Memetic Counseling + Virtual
Imprisonment: It may be determined that intensive counseling is
required. In such cases the guilty parties mind is uploaded into a
specialized
virch environment experiencing subjective time. This allows
years of retraining to occur in very short periods of real time.
4 =
Fines & Restitution + Reprogramming: This level of control
is only enforced for the most heinous of crimes. Modosophont
reprogramming is conducted by an
S:2 level agent of The Twelve. It may
be determined that too much of the criminals mind will require
reprogramming and the individual personality is likely to be lost. In
such cases it may be determined it is more efficient to recycle them
entirely.
Guilt or innocence is determined through analysis of angelnet
records used in conjunction with mind scanning of the accused, any
witnesses and if appropriate any victims. The court does not recognize
ignorance of the law as an excuse and will enforce its laws on
non-citizens equally. (Author’s Note: Visitors to Evermore
can easily find one of the many vendors offering social advisory
packages. These come in a variety of forms, and of course prices.)
Due to the existence of the angelnet most serious criminal behavior is
intercepted prior to completion. When this happens penalties are
assigned based on the guilty parties intent as determined via
mind-scan. Because of the process required to replace a lost citizen
great care is taken to save both victim and offender.
It should be noted that crime is extremely rare in Evermore
even outside of the angelnet. Due to the careful monitoring of
genetics, the intensive memetic training during youth and the
quasi-nanotopia economy the primary factors leading to criminal
behavior have been eliminated.
Economics:
Cultural: Quasi-nanotopia with capitalist overtones and a strong
memetic towards long-term social and environmental thinking. Major
industries include iinter-
sephirotic
/ inter-
polity
contract / treaty
development and arbitration, system development templates (specializing
in mining and heliology) and nanofac AI and template development.
Individual: Each citizen is given a standard allowance of 5000 kg of
renewable / recyclable materials. This includes such items as food,
clothing and personal effects. Citizens may increase their allowance to
as much as 10,000 kg by paying the additional energy costs required to
maintain habitat equilibrium. These fees are fairly low and many
citizens exercise this privilege.
Each citizen is given a standard energy allowance of 432 MJoule (120
kW/hours) per day. Any energy allowance that is not utilized may be
transferred to a Petajoule Credit account.
§
Petajoule Credit (also called PJCs) Each PJC represents enough material
within the habitat resource bank to generate 1e15 Joules of energy for
the complex. In order to generate the required power the material is
burned in any one of the 240 conversion reactors that make up the
habitats power system. If an individual can import material from
outside the system, and deposit it within the resource stockpile they
can enter the Evermore society with an equivalent value of PJCs. This
is one reason why investment in out-system mining and development can
be so lucrative. Such endeavors can be risky, as transporting the
material can end up costing more than the end value of the deposit.
A strong cultural memetic promotes being fiscally responsible
and socially productive. The vast majority of citizens have large
investments in a variety of ventures both in and out of system. The
average citizen devotes 15-20% of their time to these business
ventures. Due to the level of basic provisioning all citizens receive
they are able to live comfortably regardless of effort. This fact
allows them to spend the vast majority of their time pursuing areas of
personal interest.
In the event a citizen trades or otherwise loses a portion of their
base assets it is their responsibility to replace them.
Ascension Policies:
The Twelve maintains a
transcension
maze known as Hemel Deur somewhere
outside the Evermore system. Those citizens interested in pursuing
ascension are encouraged to do so. The application, competition and
subsequent elimination process is long and difficult. Only those top
applicants who meet the established standards are accepted. Once
accepted applicants are transported to Hemel Deur where it is said the
real challenge awaits.
Although alternate systems for ascension are available within the
Terragen sphere these are carefully monitored and filtered from the
population. Even data from the
Known Net regarding such things is
blocked. Attempting to circumvent these policies is a major criminal
infraction. For example possession of a
SNARE or a virch transcension
maze is considered a level 4 criminal offense. This policy of control
is specifically designed to protect the population from the potential development of an uncontrolled
blight
or perversion..

Internal Environment:
·
General: The internal surface area is divided into 11 bands. On either
end is a band 500 km wide. Alternating between these end bands are
ocean and land bands 1000 km wide.
·
Total Inner Surface Area: 62,831,853 km^2
·
Total Land Area: 31,415,926.5 km^2
·
Total Water Area: 31,415,926.5 km^2
·
Crust: The entire inner surface of the habitat is covered with an
earthen layer 50 meters thick in order to mimic a gaian environment as
closely as possible. A variety of techniques are used to combat erosion
and maintain the environmental status quo. These techniques include
simple design features to encourage erosion to occur a specific way,
sub-surface bots and even utility fogs to reposition material. Complex
structures are sometimes remanufactured utilizing the facilities
located within the resource bank.
·
Land Bands: Topographic features are created through the use of
buckytube and diamondoid structures beneath the crust layers.
·
Approximately 4% of the habitats environmental water supply exists as
freshwater lakes, rivers and streams within these land bands.
·
Ocean Bands: These salt-water oceans contain 96% of the habitats
environmental water supply. The oceans start at the beaches and then
gently drop in a tiered shelf system to a maximum depth of 300 meters.
In order to promote ocean currents, heat is strategically applied to
the water at various points along the bottom.
·
Weather:
·
Ocean Level Atmospheric Pressure: 101.325 kPa
·
Weather patterns are manipulated through the strategic control of
emissions from the central emitter.
·
The central emitter creates a slight temperature differential between
the port and starboard ends of the habitat with the port end being
slightly warmer. Airflow begins in the cylinders center, around the
zero-g axis. The air here begins to slowly expand toward the inner
surface where it picks up the habitats radial acceleration. This radial
acceleration causes the air to move spinward while the temperature
differentials cause it to have an additional starboard motion. The end
effect is a spiraling column of air moving starboard along the core.
Once the airflow reaches the end cap it spreads, working
around to the cylinder shell, picking up more radial acceleration,
increasing its spinward veer and moving back towards port along the
inner surface.
As the airflow accelerates it begins to move inward toward
the center of the cylinder. Due to the starboard airflow along the core
and the port flow along the inner shell a circular rise and fall cycle
is avoided. Instead a spinward corkscrew running from starboard to port
along the wall, and a helical cyclonic stream running port to starboard
along the core is created. Cloud patterns can be seen to follow this
corkscrew airflow.
Various topographic features, water, buildings and heat distribution
can be disruptive to the main pattern of airflow creating variable
cross winds and occasional minor gusting whirlwinds (i.e dust devils).
Large terrain features such as mountains have been strategically placed
to encourage this effect and distribute rain and other weather effects
appropriately.
·
There are four seasons – summer, fall, winter and spring
– as controlled by the central emitter. These are generally
controlled by the amount of energy directed into the environment.
·
Summer is the first 95 days each year. Temperatures vary from 20
– 33 degrees Celsius with occasional light to medium rains.
·
Fall is the second season and lasts 90 days. Temperatures vary from 15
– 27 degrees Celsius.
·
Winter is the third season and lasts 90 days. Temperatures range from
–1 degree Celsius at the heart of the season to 27 degrees
Celsius nearer the beginning and end. Infrequent snowfall does occur,
with 15 – 30 cm of possible accumulation.
·
Spring is the fourth season and lasts the remaining 90 days of the
year. Temperatures vary from 15-27 degrees Celsius with light to medium
rainfall.
·
Central
Emitter:
Running
the length of the cylinder core is a specialized emitter designed to
mimic the radiation of a G-type star. Due to the enclosed nature of the
habitat it needs only to provide an average total output of 342 watts /
m^2.
o Note: The
angelnet blocks the view of the emitter creating an effect similar to
looking up into a clear blue sky. The main difference is that the
landscape of the hab can still be seen above.
This is accomplished through a mixture of diffusing the light and also
controlling the image projected to those within the angelnet / ufog
system.

Each citizen has 10,000 m^2 of personal land area (100m x 100m square).
The rest is used for extensive parks and commercial property.
o
580,000,000 AI (estimated)
§
The vast majority of these are dedicated systems.
Rotation Drive
·
General: The cylinder rotation system is a fairly simple arrangement
taking advantage of the Meissner effect in superconductors. Each
cylinder end cap is covered with a thin superconductor plate. Opposing
this is a permanent magnet assembly built into the ring framework. The
superconductors naturally oppose the magnets and power needs only be
applied to generate and maintain rotation.
·
Gravity at Habitat Surface: 9.80665 m/s^2 (simulated)
·
Characteristic Decay Time: 31,536,000 seconds
·
Single Rotation Time: 33.44 minutes
·
Rotations Per Minute: 0.0299
·
Outer Rim Speed: 3131.7524 m/s
·
Radians Per Second: 0.00313
Radiant Heat Cogeneration System
·
General: Mounted a short distance outside the actual buckytube shell is
a grid work of nano-crystal thermophotovoltaic collectors, each
specially aligned to the radiant wavelengths of the cylinder. These
collectors completely cover the habitat shell and allow the otherwise
wasted heat to be converted to electricity.
o Habitat
Shell Temperature: 279.76 Kelvin
o Final
Radiated Temperature: 244.14 Kelvin
·
The central emitter radiates an averaged 342 Watts per m^2 into the
habitats internal environment. The environment utilizes 24.023% of this
energy leaving 16.33e+15 Watts to be radiated into space as waste heat.
·
The central emitter also generates 1.13e+15 Watts of waste heat through
the simple act of operation.
·
The population power allowance distribution system generates 90.24e+9
Watts of waste heat
·
The angelnet adds another 68.58e+10 Watts of heat to the system. Unlike
the environmental waste heat that is allowed to radiate on its own, the
angelnet systems utilize active cooling to direct heat out to the
habitat shell.
·
The TPV system has a 42% conversion efficiency providing 73.32e+14
Watts of electricity that can be returned to the system.

Re = Emissivity of Radiator (based on the material utilized)
Ra = Area of Radiator (m^2)
Rt = Temperature of Radiator (Kelvin)
Energy Requirements to
Maintain Spin: P = -dK/dt (t=0) = 2 M R^2 omega_0^2/tau
NOTE: A free-spinning cylinder in zero-g would have a very long
characteristic decay time.
P = Power (Joules)
-dK/dt = Rate at which kinetic energy is being lost (The amount of
power needed to keep the cylinder spinning at omega_0 is just the
negative of the rate at which energy is being lost (you are adding that
much energy back in))
t = Time
M = Mass (kg)
R = Radius (m)
omega_0 = Initial spin velocity at t=0
tau = Characteristic decay time
