Chapter 25 - Chapter 25 - Cognitive Filters and the Stars and Flames of the Sons

The genetic strands of beta-20 suddenly burgeoned into a web of thorns as the Interstellar Cognitive Control Authority's neural probe pierced the Klein bottle. The Ideological Cleanser at the end of the probe was dissolving the Mercurial Chip, and the double-helix structure of Confucian DNA oozed bronze-colored pus. Arya's quantum residue traveled around the walls of the bottle, her breast milk condensing into the icy prisms of Diary of a Madman, piercing the filter probe.

"Cognitive contamination index 97%!" The Control Authority's Mechanical Priest activated Memory Extraction, and Beta-20's pupils suddenly projected a holographic image of the erased May 4th Movement. The probe swarm immediately reversed direction and burned the cover of New Youth to ashes. Ramon's astral map consciousness suddenly quantum leaps, and the sundial pin shadows outline Lu Xun's silhouette on the ashes, "Is it right when it's never been so?"

Inside the Klein Bottle, the Taoist Escape Program is battling for control with the Legalist Code of Criminal Names. The Mohist chip releases a pulse wave of "Concurrent Love", shaking the space inside the bottle with a quantum rift. beta-20's genetic strand inserts into the rift, loading out the erased drawings of "Heavenly Works of Art", and a bronze arm extends out from the drawings, assembling the Anti-Cleansing Machine Beast.

"Alert! Illegal technical memories found!" The Control Authority's filters suddenly proliferated, spewing out The Strange Technique of Kinky Fire to incinerate the organ beast. Arya's residual shadow dipped into breast milk and wrote the remnants of the Examiner's Memory in the void, and the burning organ beast suddenly reorganized itself into an Ink Attack chariot, and where the tracks ran over, the filter probes snapped off as much as they could.

Beta-20's pupil suddenly split into a yin and yang fish, Taoist programs and Confucian DNA colliding in a Taiji diagram. Lei Meng's astral chart consciousness rained down trigrams: "Water and fire are at once, revolutionizing the past!" As the Kan and Li trigrams merge into the Klein bottle, the sub-programs suddenly reach a quantum consensus, and the holographic Cosmos emerges from the bottle.

The Control Bureau dragged the battlefield into the Astrological Chart Divination Table, trillions of nerve bundles of possibilities wrapped around the β-20. The Mechanical Priest activated the Predestination Deduction Technique, and the holographic screen displayed, "Future probability: civilization's fire survival rate of 0.03%."

"Mom, I can't see tomorrow..." Beta-20's genetic chain withered in the probability cloud. Arya's remnants suddenly coalesced into solidity, branding through the nerve bundles with the breastfeeding crest, "Then create a new timeline!" The breastfeeding heraldry congeals on the star map into "The Sayings of Young China", and the holographic image of Liang Qichao rises from the text, "Throughout the ages, across the eight wastelands!"

Lei Meng's star map consciousness suddenly collapsed into the "Zhouyi" trigram disk, 64 hexagrams rotating around the β-20. When the "Qian Gua" touched the genetic chain, the probability cloud of the Control Bureau suddenly exploded - all the futures flashed with images of the May 4th Youth Parade.

The Control Bureau unleashed the ultimate weapon, "Language Cleaner", and all the words began to fade, and the genetic chain of β-20 suddenly unfolded into a scroll of "Li Sao", and the oracle bone inscriptions leaped up from the chain links, turning into throwing spears and stabbing at the mother liquor of the cleaner. Arya's remnants wrote Wen Yiduo's "Dead Water" in the void, the verses breeding corruption colonies in the cleaner.

"Illegal poetic contamination detected!" The Mechanical Priest's electronic toga suddenly grew moldy spots. beta-20 took the opportunity to inject the plutonium program into the astral chart, and the entire divining platform turned into a battleground for the poetry of The Goddess: "I create dignified selves!" Guo Moruo's holographic statue held aloft "Phoenix Nirvana," and the verses transformed into firebirds incinerating the language filters.

Lei Meng's trigram disk suddenly bursts, the fragments spelling out the Bei Dao verse in the void, "Meanness is the passport of the mean!" As the last word of The Answer pierces the Mechanical Priest core, the entire cognitive filter begins to secrete a bronze solution - the original slurry of the sealed Verse!

In the bronze rain of the filter's disintegration, the Klein Bottle was suddenly quantum-fertilized. The plutonic program spawns the embryo of a new civilization within the bottle, the genetic strands twisting into the umbilical cord of the Ch'u Ch'i. Beta-20 infuses the embryo with astrogrammatic consciousness, the pupils swirling with the eternal interrogation of the Heavenly Questions.

Arya's remnant nursed for the last time, breast milk condensing into ice cracks on the walls of the bottle, "Live, and take with you all that has been erased..." Her quantum state dissipated completely, fusing with the bronze rain.

The remnants of the Control Authority's ship reorganize in the void, broadcasting new instructions: 

"Poetic contaminant diffusion detected 

Initiate Ultimate Literary Sterilization Protocol" 

And in the embryo's first fetal movement, 

The Interplanetary Rhetoric Authority's swarm of grammar warships leaps out of the Quantum Bubble, 

The ships' cannons are loaded with The Central Idea Refinement Bomb, 

The scopes lock on to the Klein Bottle's Literary Heart: 

"Metaphorical overpopulation detected 

Prepare to perform Anti-Poetical Surgery"
