Humans used Genies Res to experiment with artificial evolution

EXT. BEACH – DAY

Long golden sandy beach. Cloudless sky. No wind. Gentle swell. Ikkyu casually walks along the water’s edge.

Deep in thought, Ikkyu remembers…

SYNC (V.O)

…So humans used this place to experiment with artificial evolution?

SHAMAN (V.O)

Yes, on a grand scale. They needed to solve the mystery of why the DNA code, which evolved to define bacteria, had enough reach to define dinosaurs and humans…

SYNC (V.O)

…Which would allow them to create synthetic organisms that could truly evolve.

_____________________________________

The above excerpt from the script for SYNCANDI Comic 06 is bound to be a tad confusing to the general reader, unless of course you are familiar with the writings of Physicist David Deutsch. The ‘hard’ science in Syncandi fiction draws significantly on Deutsch’s book The Beginning of Infinity.

Here is an excerpt from Deutsch’s book which puts the conversation between Sync and the Shaman into context.

The Beginning of Infinity – By David Deutsch – Page 163

The field of artificial (general) intelligence has made no progress because there is an unsolved philosophical problem at its heart: we do not understand how creativity works. Once that has been solved, programming it will not be difficult. Even artificial evolution may not have been achieved yet, despite appearances. There the problem is that we do not understand the nature of the universality of the DNA replication system.

Hope this helps a little.

4th SYNCANDI Comic & Poster

SYNCANDI COMIC 04

Today we published the fourth issue of the SYNCANDI comic series. The story is full of emotional and physical drama. In Comic 03, Ikkyu meets the Shaman and receives a special treatment. In this issue we discover the profound effect of that treatment on Ikkyu, how she reacts to it and how Sync reacts to Ikkyu’s budding relationship with the Shaman.

SYNCANDI POSTER • TRILOGY

Trilogy is the fourth poster in the series. Joanna Krótka has created a bold yet elegant illustration in the art nouveau style. She frames the three central characters in such a way as to convey the essence of the narrative in SYNCANDI COMIC 04. Yet another compelling work of art from an excellent artist.

3rd SYNCANDI Comic & Poster

SYNCANDI COMIC 03

The latest SYNCANDI comic is here. This is the third in the series. It introduces the Shaman character into the narrative. She’s an intriguing personality who seems to know a lot about Ikkyu and Sync as well as Genies Res. Her background is mysterious, but she apparently lives in a stone hut by a stream in the forest. Her clothing resembles a traditional Japanese shrine maiden’s, although the skirt is way too short and the top half is way too revealing to be traditional. In any case, on the surface the Shaman looks pretty kawaii, but there’s something deep and almost unsettling going on behind her deep blue eyes. She seems curious about Ikkyu and willing to spend some time and energy on her. Meanwhile, Ikkyu apparently accepts the Shaman as some kind of authority figure, naively entrusting herself to her care.

Much is revealed in this issue, we learn something of the history of Genies Res, as well as the nature of Sync’s illness. We also get to see some more of the Genies Res landscape. So, if you’ve already read and liked SYNCANDI COMIC 01 and 02, which focus on Sync and Ikkyu, you’ll enjoy this issue even more now that a third character has entered the story.

SYNCANDI POSTER • UNDRESSING IKKYU

This week we published the third SYNCANDI Poster entitled Undressing Ikkyu. This time, Joanna has gone with a sensual and provocative illustration that shows Ikkyu being unzipped out of her nurse uniform by an unseen hand. Ikkyu doesn’t seem at all innocent in this scene, which allows us to glimpse another aspect of her character.

Another stunning work of art from Polish artist Joanna Krótka.

SYNCANDI COMIC 02

SYNCANDI COMIC 02 COVER SAMPLE

SYNCANDI COMIC 02 CREDIT SAMPLE ENGLISH

So much to understand – sex, walking, emotions, sentient landscape –

Luckily Ikkyu’s a fast learner.

Ikkyu gets played by a stream, is taught how to walk, experiences neediness and shares her vulnerability with Sync.

The second issue in the SYNCANDI comic series. Ikkyu has an interesting encounter with a stream “Like an instrument. It comes in faintly from outside. Strokes my insides delicately. Little sizzles spread. Ticklish, then hot. My fingertips tremble, a flash of ache and then the music begins”.
