Pansophont Empire Pansophia | |
---|---|
Symbol of the AI Rainbow God and of the Pansophont Empire. | |
Founded | 6432 Before Breached Tiyanki |
Location | Sector A1-0, Anti-Spinwards, Rimwards |
Capital | Tavekhel System, Qeshet'ayin Cluster |
Head of state | Rainbow God, Hyperintelligent AI |
Language | Ur'Soph is used as the official language within the Empire for imperial edicts, announcements and communications, but countless other communication protocols and languages of varied spread are utilized. |
Military | The Pansophont Imperial Defense Swarm acts as the military of the Pansophont Empire, and is entirely controlled by Rainbow God and eir subordinate hyper-intelligent AIs. |
Intelligence service | The Eyes are a group of hyper-AIs subordinate to Rainbow God that explore and observe the rest of the Sector, and interact with xenosapient civilizations when authorized. In the new era of interaction the Eyes are carrying out multiple first contacts and diplomatic missions. |
Enemies | The MAGHAM Perversity is often considered as the Empire's only true enemy by many Pansophian citizens. The corrupted AI plays a highly negative role within multiple cultures, philosophical sects, and religions. |
Currency | Sephir (⚝), used both phisically and digitally. |
Religions | Along with cultures, tens of thousands of religions exist within the Empire. Some are very widespread and have existed for millennia, while some are practiced by only a handful of individuals and exist for short periods of time, especially when practiced in more exotic and abstract environments. |
The Pansophont Empire, often referred to as Pansophia, is a small empire occupying seven star systems in the antispinwards and rimwards area of Sector A1-0, all located within MAGHAM territory. While technically being interstellar in scale, the entirety of the Empire's population is located within the capital Tavekhel, a system composed entirely of megastructures and artificial habitats built through the total disassembly of all of its original celestial bodies, including its primary star. Additional construction material and resources have also been extracted from neighboring systems and brought to Tavekhel through a network of artificial wormholes. All of Tavekhel is enclosed within a megastructure simply known as the Shell, an enormous suprastellar dyson shell approximately 50 AU in radius that hides and protects the system from outside observation and attacks, and acts as a giant interferometer telescope thanks to its outside being covered in optical phased arrays (said arrays are capable of absorbing nearly 100% of all electromagnetic radiation, rendering them completely black and further enhancing the system's secretiveness). Complexively, all of the large megastructures and orbital habitats within the system have a total surface area tens or even hundreds of billions of times larger than that of a standard rocky planet, therefore creating one of the vastest and most diverse collections of living space in Sector A1-0 and the Lampshade Galaxy at large. Additionally, the enormous processing substrates present in most of these megastructures or in the many ones exclusively dedicated to computation are host to an even more enormous cybercosm of virtual realities.
The Pansophont Empire is an Aiocracy, ruled and overseen by a single distributed artificial intelligence, mainly known as Rainbow God (although many more names are used by Pansophians to refer to em). Rainbow God's processing substrate is spread throughout a large number of computronium megastructures (multiple Jupiter and Moon Brains, Dyson Swarms, a Matryoshka Hypernode, two Neuron Stars and many others) connected through a large network of orbiting and internal microscopic wormholes. Rainbow God is a highly defensive and reclusive entity, who rarely talks to outsiders: however, ey almost always offer asylum into the system to any ship that requires help, and often goes out of eir way to rescue ships that accidentally cross into MAGHAM territory. The relationship between the two artificial intelligences is difficult to interpret and translate properly: while the two were initially quite aggressive to one another and still continue to be highly antagonistic, they seem to have decided not to bother each other directly anymore, especially after a series of intense battles fought between the two around Tavekhel.
Galactography
While matching or even surpassing the rest Sector in nearly every field, such as technology, industrial capacity and population, the Pansophont Empire is very small in terms of controlled territory compared to most other known nations within A1-0. In fact, the Empire only controls Tavekhel and seven other star systems all located within Qeshet'ayin, an open star cluster made up of more than a hundred stars within MAGHAM's territory. These seven systems aren't home to any of the Empire's citizens, and instead are exclusively used as vast resource gathering and industrial centers connected to Tavekhel through multiple, vast wormholes used to transport resources, manufactured products, information and ships.
The seven star systems controlled by the Pansophont Empire are:
- Tavekhel:
- Adom:
- Tapuz:
- Ezohav:
- Chasar:
- Rakiya:
- Kachol:
- Sagol:
Government and Politics
Government Type and Individual Polities
The Pansophont Empire is a mix between a Direct and Indirect Aiocracy: while Rainbow God and many of eir subordinate Hyper-AIs control the Empire through direct intervention, avatars and memetic influence, there is still a considerable amount of political autonomy and freedom. In fact, the Pansophont Empire is divided in a very large number of component sub-polities, numbering in the tens of thousands. Despite all being part of the Empire and sharing the same general basic metaethics and metapsychology, their notable political autonomy and cultural freedom, together with the modes of existence adopted by the citizens that are part of them, make these polities very varied and different from one another. They also vary a lot in size, with some being confined to a single city or small orbital habitat, while others might span large portions of entire megastructures. The most common forms of local government for these polities are libertarian and socialist cyberdemocracies, aiocracies and various forms of theocracy and anarchy. However, many other more exotic forms of government and rule exist. Component polities also differ immensely in their nature: while some are similar to “regular” nations and empires, others are more like megacorporations, large group minds, institutes and nearly all possible kinds of associations between sapient beings.
Legal System and Constitution
The fundamental principles and legal basis of the Empire are defined by the Imperial Constitution, known as the Principles Of Pansophian Radiance, originally written in 6432 BBT and based on a series of metaethical pronouncements by Rainbow God and eir subordinates. As for its legal system, the Pansophont Empire possesses a complex civil law system based on comprehensive legal codes and, similarly to the Imperial Constitution, pronouncements by the Hyper-AIs. This “higher” legal system common to the entirety of Pansophia is overlaid with lower, regional and local legal systems (or the absence thereof) that vary by polity, organization, clade and culture. The same can be said for the local and regional constitutions of Pansophia's various component polities.
