Tales from the Road

Dedication:
     This work is dedicated to the four prophets..
      Vinge, Egan, Stross and Moran,

      to my teachers..
   
      and to all the folk of the Road. May it rise with you all!

Introduction



There is a star, shining in the night sky
You can't see it.
It's all Tor-ed up ya know.

But floating
..out there,
deep in the mathematical possibilities
  of a potent hash..

..is a body, a something..
 conjured out of bits and chunks of code
and an Old Austrian's ratio argumentum

Some call it "The Road".
I just call it a
singularity.


Stars grow massive, and if
it's dense enough
it bends the light itself back
(they are cloaked from the universe
in a hot churning void)

"The Road" is like that.
Running like night-trails through
the belly of hyperspace
bending it's own porous selective security
to a presence potent if unseen.

Those who desire dark dense
valuable configurations of
information

Send their own wares down into the
Gravity well
responding to price signals
Collecting their own horde
as bits of the blockchain are liberated like
the orphaned member of a particle-antiparticle
pair.

We trace the black-holes by their x-ray emissions
and their effects on
other bodies
The blockchain bends through a
thick crunchy thicket of transactions
pulled inexorably by...

  The Road spinning on in the night

The free exchanges of value impart added
rotational speed.

It's spinning faster now
it makes me slightly nervous

I sooth my nerves by telling tales..

Tales of the Road...
