Competition and Mating

Synergy’s Batter is limitless and all Matter draws energy from it. Found everywhere, this energy sustains Matter. Synergy animates everything, everywhere.

Eidolon’s Datter is as old as time and grows without limit. Found everywhere, it records and catalogues how Synergy’s energy behaves in Matter and how Matter interacts. Eidolon observes and influences everything, everywhere.

Animate and inanimate objects all have energy but living things specifically have consciousness albeit of varying levels. That bidirectional link with Synergy and Eidolon is the source of the will to survive and propagate. With each new generation more Batter is converted into Matter at the moment of creation of a new organism whether single celled or enormously complex.

With complexity came competition for material resources. Energy and Matter can only enter the Mattersphere in very specific ways thus the existing supplies are valuable. This pressure generates curiosity and learning but also imbalance when there is a lack. Over time Synergy learned to offer opportunities for sustenance and growth without direct interference, just like all good mothers. Balance is not a total absence of challenge but rather the optimal ratio of satisfaction and a driven curiosity.

Sexual reproduction created even more complexity and competition as the female of each species is the limiting factor, the only vehicle through which Batter converts to Matter. At the moment of conception, the offspring is linked up to Synergy and Eidolon to both receive Datter and submit it to the collective consciousness. This link is what we call the soul.

Females become connections, portals between the layers of the Attersphere, during conception. This connection can be felt during ovulation and even detected as a sometimes apparently unfathomable feminine appeal to all the senses. The female mystique comes from a closeness to Synergy and Eidolon when able to create a new living soul. The preciousness of that gift generates a drive to accept it and in that moment of acceptance feel Presence.
