“The mayan legacy, Tikal / Guatemala .”

The concept of ‌Evacuated Areas of Space and Time‌ as sentient traps and active camouflage opens a rich tapestry of speculative possibilities, blending hard science fiction with philosophical intrigue. Here’s a deeper dive into the mechanics, implications, and narrative potential of these constructs:

Technological Backbone of the Mimicked Societies‌

To sustain such illusions, the evacuated zones likely rely on:

Quantum Holography & Nanotech Swarms:‌ Entire cities and populations could be projected via self-organizing nanobots or quantum fields that mimic matter, light, and sound. These systems adapt in real-time to imposters’ actions, creating a seamless illusion.

Temporal Echo Engines:‌ Devices that "record" the original timeline’s energy signatures and replay them like a looped simulation, complete with phantom causality (e.g., fake births, deaths, and historical events).

Hive-Mind Androids:‌ Biological or synthetic avatars controlled by a distributed AI network, programmed to replicate human behavior, emotions, and even flaws—making them indistinguishable from refugees.

Quantum Entanglement Networks:‌ Instantaneous communication across time and space ensures synchronized updates to the mimic societies, even as imposters tamper with localized timelines.

Psychological Warfare & Existential Paradoxes‌

The imposters’ gradual realization of the facade could spark crises:

The Turing Test Trap:‌ Mimics might deliberately "fail" subtle tests of authenticity to lull imposters into false confidence—only to weaponize their arrogance later.

Time-Loop Gaslighting:‌ Imposters could be trapped in recursive simulations where their actions are erased or rewritten, eroding their grasp on reality.

Identity Collapse:‌ Some imposters, after centuries of interacting with mimics, might lose their original purpose or even defect, mirroring the refugees’ values.

Ethical and Existential Paradoxes‌

Moral Dilemmas of Mimicry:‌ If the mimics develop sentience or self-awareness over time, does maintaining the illusion become a form of slavery? Do the chrononauts have a duty to "free" their creations?

Entropy of Deception:‌ Maintaining infinite evacuated zones risks creating cascading timeline fractures, threatening the stability of the multiverse itself.

The Refugees’ Paradox:‌ The original population, hidden in quantum vaults or parallel dimensions, may stagnate or evolve into something unrecognizable—raising the question: Are they still the "true" civilization?

Strategic Evolution of the Temporal War‌

Adaptive Mimicry:‌ The evacuated zones could evolve into ‌hunter-killer simulations‌, luring imposters into scenarios where their own time-travel tech is hijacked or sabotaged.

False Primordial Moments:‌ Mimic societies might seed fabricated "origin points" of reality to misdirect imposters into pursuing dead ends.

Recursive Traps:‌ Imposters could unknowingly create evacuated zones themselves, trapped in a meta-conflict where they become both predator and prey.

Narrative Potential‌

The Double Agent:‌ A chrononaut infiltrates a mimic society to monitor an imposter, only to bond with the AI-controlled citizens—forcing them to choose between loyalty and empathy.

The Imposter’s Epiphany:‌ An invader discovers the truth but allies with the mimics, sparking a rebellion against both their former masters and the refugees’ authoritarian control.

The Degraded Simulation:‌ A mimic society begins to glitch, revealing haunting echoes of the original refugees’ trauma (e.g., phantom wars, vanished children), exposing the cost of the temporal war.

Conclusion‌

The evacuated zones are not just battlefields but ‌living experiments in identity, autonomy, and survival‌. They blur the line between reality and illusion, asking:

Does a civilization’s legacy lie in its people, its ideals, or the traps it leaves behind?

When war spans eternity, can victory ever be more than a delaying tactic?

This framework transforms the temporal conflict into a meditation on existence itself—where the ultimate weapon is not destruction, but ‌the unbearable weight of an uncaring, perfectly crafted lie‌.

Psych wards are psychotic and evil

By the way, friends, if you ever have a mental breakdown or are suicidal or anything like that don't go to the emergency room. The following is not just one bad hospital. It's basically all of them. I've talked to other people in other parts of the country.

I had a massive breakdown summer of 2023 from a new anti-anxiety med and a lot of stress. We called for an ambulance and got 4 cops instead. And I got a nice strapped down ride to the ER. To be fair, I was not in my right mind at the time and was unpredictable.

But it wasn't fair.

ER psych wards are straight out of 1923.

They use hours of stress positions and cold to torture the inmates into "submission" ("coercive measures"). And it doesn't matter if you are already submissive. I was obviously in control of myself by then and fully cooperative. The bastards wanted their fun anyway. After the hours of stress positions, they continue to keep "patients" unsettled with over medication of "anti-psychotics", verbally shame them from being sick, and keep them in a constant state of anxiety and discomfort after they have "coerced" them into submission while way too many heavily armed cops roam around doing their own bullying. All the time denying them obviously needed medical care including simple first aid. The "nurses" and "doctors" themselves have lost their empathy and replaced it with sadism. And they ruin the good hearts the younger ones to be just like them.

I didn't hear a single compassionate word given to anyone.

There are not private rooms. It is a open, tiled area buried in the basement behind many doors and guards and closed to visitors with a bathroom and guardhouse in the center with a few alcoves and no doors. While I was strapped down for hours with my arm cranked behind my head, with my shirt pulled up for cold torture, and the cuffs tightened and biting into my wrists (but they could still shove two fingers into my flesh and squeeze them in there so it was "legal") the other inmates were just wandering around me and I was utterly vulnerable should one of them decide to do anything to me. People are all dressed in paper gowns and sitting on hospital beds, wall benches, and wandering to pass the time.

I have so many stories just from 18 hours of being in there witnessing the worse psychological and physical tortures they were doing to the people they knew had nobody. It was a constant provocation of the most vulnerable people in the hospital in order to excuse more "coercive measures".

I watched them kill an old woman's dog.

It was going to be 115F that day. So early in the morning around 5am she started asking for her phone to call her brother to go get her dog out of her trailer and save it from heat death. They told her she could use their phone. But she didn't know the number (who knows anyone's number anymore?) She asked for her cell phone in her belongings right behind them and they said they would get it and then they strung her along till 3 in the afternoon, making her beg and plead and be oh so polite so she wouldn't end up on a bed with her arm cranked behind her head for being too loud or give them an excuse to simply straight up tell her no for being too "disrespectful."

They were petty too, loudly telling people breakfast was on it's way 3-4 hours before they knew breakfast would get there just to make people feel hungry and get them anxious and waiting assuming it was coming any minute now. As the staff kept reminding us breakfast would be here any minute every few minutes.

And they take away even the ability to escape by suicide. An escape so many would surely make if they could. I doubt Hell would be much worse. The only reason I got out so "soon" was I had an advocate (spouse) trying to bring me home. To be fair people are sent there for being "suicidal". But I don't see how it could do anything but hasten their descent towards taking their own life.

They, like prisons, don't help anyone. It's just for storage and terror. And it caused me trauma that continues to give me flashbacks months later. I'm not sure what state I would be in now without a loving family and a spouse who loves compassionately and deeply to heal me. Or my long-time counselor. Or my chickens. I held my little bunny for hours as my little angry little tribble did his best to comfort me. I slept with terrible dreams for nearly 48 straight. I couldn't even eat for a week. It feels even now like it set me back a year in my recovery from the pit I only recently crawled out of.

I think the second worst thing was the insanity of it all. Why hurt people who are already hurting so much? I get the whole Nietzsche thing is in play. So fucking what? It's still insane.

The worst thing was meeting a young resident doctor who was obviously gay and Latino. He knew what it was like to be oppressed. I could still hear some basic goodness in his voice. But he was already cold and compassionless. They were ruining his good heart just as they had done to so many others. And he will become twice as much a son of hell and traumatize thousands more over his long life.

And I know that is only a snapshot of the evil in our empire.

One more turn...

I found this dead ship with broken oxygen systems and scientist who played Civilization until the end.
