Clonal Perpetuation: A Throne of Data and Polymer
The Gothic cathedral no longer houses only faith, but the ceremonial skeleton of a reinvented power. Stone vaults frame a silence charged with static electricity, broken by the subtle hum of motors. Here, tradition merges with polymers and data flows to seal the fate of a kingdom. 👑
The Rite of Perpetual Substitution
Under the bluish light filtering through the stained glass, two figures define the new order. An automaton bishop, whose face imitates beatitude with artificial precision, extends his mechanical limbs. Before him, a young body genetically identical to the previous sovereign kneels. Biological hereditary monarchy is an obsolete concept; now the throne is perpetuated by cloning the genetic pattern and transferring a core package of edited memories. This act does not crown, but replaces, ensuring that the cycle of government never changes.
Key elements of the ritual:- Circuit crown: A ring of cold metal intertwined with luminescent filaments that symbolizes the burden of perpetual governance.
- Implanted gaze: The clone's eyes reflect borrowed wisdom, memories of battles not lived and decisions made by another.
- Uncanny precision: The robot bishop's articulated fingers place the crown with an accuracy no human could match.
"The ceremony confirms that the individual is irrelevant; only the pattern that replicates matters."
The Mechanisms Behind the Facade
Behind the ritual pomp, a biosystemic network sustains the illusion of continuity. Servers store, edit, and transfer the original monarch's experiences to the new organic container. In this process, deviations in thought are suppressed and unwavering loyalties to the state are enhanced. The people watch, aware that the face on the throne will not age, only be exchanged when physical wear threatens the image of invincibility. Dissenting does not only mean acting against, but daring to think about the mortality of a leader designed to be eternal.
Pillars of the clonal system:- Bank of edited memories: The sovereign's psyche is programmed, not developed, to ensure obedience.
- Image maintenance: Replacement occurs due to aesthetic deterioration, not natural death.
- Freezing an era: The state does not clone just a man, but an entire historical period, fixed at a point of absolute control.
Dreams Are a System Error
Among the courtiers circulate whispered rumors: sometimes, in the quiet of the night, the clones dream of being someone else. These flashes of personal identity are considered neural programming failures. The technicians correct them at dawn with reset procedures, erasing any hint of individuality. The crown, manufactured to fit that specific forehead, always settles perfectly, cycle after cycle. The system self-corrects, ensuring that the illusion of immutable power remains intact, without cracks through which a different future might seep. 🔄
