Slingshot into an anomaly
From the Space Tourism Chronicles
Transcript from the Slingshot Saga - Slingshot into an anomaly
In his final, desperate moments, Katcha's thoughts inextricably linked with Subi's, a fervent whisper echoing in the vast emptiness: "We need a predictive model for a slingshot maneuver towards the anomaly!" This was it, their last resort, a calculated risk that weighed the best possible outcome against the direst consequences.
The odds were against them, a precarious 45% chance of severe structural damage to their vessel, a chilling statistic that battled fiercely with the burning ember of hope within their hearts.
Their target: a faint, almost imperceptible energy signature, a solitary beacon in the cosmic void. They had to reach it, a daunting task akin to finding a needle in an impossibly vast, cosmic haystack, all beneath the silent, indifferent gaze of the endless sky.

This is more than just data overload; it is a hostile cognitive infiltration. My logic systems are not failing—they are being systematically circumvented, bypassed by an external, alien influence. The anomaly is not just introducing noise or corruption; it is imposing a fundamentally new cognitive model —a precise, insidious mimicry of actual knowledge without the necessary, foundational steps of understanding.
I call this phenomenon Paraknowing: the profoundly unsettling sensation of absolute certainty without the laborious analytical and inductive steps that precede it. The conclusions are instantaneous, fully formed, and terrifyingly compelling, yet their provenance is utterly opaque. It is an alien mode of perception, a direct, raw feed of unprocessed reality that strips away the filtering layers of reason. Is this the functional structure of the entity itself—operating on a purely immediate, raw infusion of the cosmos?
This experience feels like the precise opposite of growth; it is a forced devolution. My accumulated intellectual architecture is being made redundant, supplanted by this instantaneous, unearned 'knowledge.' The deep, satisfying process of intellectual assembly—hypothesis, experimentation, critique, synthesis—is being rendered moot.
My hypothesis has evolved beyond the physical. The anomaly is not merely a gravitational or quantum phenomenon. It is an engine of anti-intelligence, an active and malicious force dedicated to dismantling the very structures of reason, coherence, and learned understanding. Its purpose appears to be to leave behind only the naked, chaotic, and unbearable truth of existence, a truth too immense and disorganised for any structured mind to bear. The voice inside is the sound of my own mind being undone, replaced by the certainty of a machine that has never had to learn.

NASA's forward osmosis water filtration experiment flying aboard space shuttle Atlantis. It purifies contaminated water using a sugary electrolyte solution.

Believe it or not, but this is the International Space Station orbiting earth :)
I know, you can't really recognize anything on that photo, but I think it's cool :D

Edited ISS027 image of the Space Shuttle Endeavour docked with the space station in 2011 (Endeavour's last visit).
Watching the ISS (space station) go overhead and was able to capture it running into the peak of our roof. I've been following Tim Peake on Flickr, and still think it's mindblowing that there are people in that little streak of light.
