Julia

One does not simply read a study Bible (2 million words) but if you do then this work of fiction will be easier to understand in comparison.

I'm not promoting or demoting any religion by saying this, I'm talking about the Bible as an old work of fiction, although to be fair, a study bible can be recent and even copyrighted.

It's meant to be using "modern" jargon, set in the time of the story, that hasn't actually been invented yet. It also refers to a bunch of Classical mythology / works that I'm not familiar with. And also a bunch of obsolete CS ideas; e.g,. a "Chomsky organ", which would presumably be something that generates language based on Chomsky's ideas about grammar -- probably something like a Markov chain -- rather than neural networks, which is how LLMs currently "speak".

At any rate, it's written from the perspective of an AI which controls a ship. The AI may have once been a human on earth, and had its cognitive patterns transferred to the ship. It can do a certain amount towards modifying the ship, but they've apparently turned off its ability to speak. The ship at the beginning of the story has only 2 humans on it, down from hundreds. The ship is stationed at some place near the solar system (?) to look at a weird phenomenon, called 'Julia', presumably because it resembles a Julia set fractal, which defies all known physics. While the ship has been stationed there, the Earth has basically died.

That may give you enough clues to help you orient yourself, so that you can figure out what happens.

There should only be one article for what is essentially one concept.

Incredible

Purple prose about something unknown and unknowable and fractal-like. As if Nabokov wrote sci-fi.
