(Yeah, well, *YOU* think of a better title.)

"An information engine powerful enough to sort useful patterns out of the news traffic of an entire galaxy?" said Prime. "Even Cybertron doesn't have a system as powerful as that."

Gosh, something like that would have to be the size of a planet. Hmm... Why does that sound familiar. Actually, joking/sarcasm aside, would you mind if I ask just how powerful a computer we're talking here? From what I've read about Durandal (and subsequently Tycho) this sounds like what he was trying to achieve according to Bungie. Anywhen, I've not gotten too far into Triplanetary, so my questions may be redundantly stupid...

What technology is this thing going to be built from?

The Matrix on Gallifrey sounds like it could work. Then there's Yggdrasil, which is reality, which would work. I can think of the Oracle (The one on Cybertron, not Gordon) that might be able to tap this, maybe. Asimov projected theories about computers shunted off into hyperspace which were probably powerful enough. The massivley-parallel-processor that I theorize is Subreality would probably work, but Subreality is neither EPU nor considered a computer by anyone but me. There's the obvious computer, but Zathras works for Washuu...

So, if I may ask: Can anyone offer any kind of white sheets, tech specs, techno-tib-bits (or tid-bytes), or theories about this engine? I am enthralled by the mear idear of it.

I suppose it being Kerovia is out of the question anyway...
