[ARC] Semiosis

The sentences are:

“Human augmented champions must choose the direction of their flow.”

Or:

“Human augmented humans must chose the direction of their flow.”

I have made my choice. There is nothing left but for others to make theirs.

I think its worth noting that in case of Sansha invasion in 3-ttc reported in HFN Narodnya became corrupt, but in case of Deviant Automata taking over vila in DAV Navka didnt.

It’s also a pretty simple thing to understand that ‘Human-augmented Narodnya’ is like ‘Minmatar-designed battleship’. The first word isn’t a stand-alone noun, it’s part of a compound adjective.

Be appeased. I will add “Minmatar-designed Minmatar must choose the direction of their flow” to the list of sentences.

Your habit of making yourself look stupid by intentionally missing the point is adorable. Hm. I should save that for the kind words thread…

As you wish, Arrendis-designed Arrendis.

I am the primary architect of who I am, yeah… unlike a few others, I could think of. After all, at this point, Napkins considers himself to be an Aria-designed Napkins.

Where is the Cluster’s dark gothic butterfly? I have some antipathy for her, but hugs and kisses are for children and the dark gothic butterfly has a style.

That’s it! That’s what the intergalactic planetary party is missing.

Style.

Everything is a little bit too… the Gallidoodle expression… what is it… june say qwah.

Yes, I have been unnecessarily cranky about the Triglavians. Really, I should be more enthusiastic about the return of the masked angels bearing gifts from Heaven, the mythological cycle continuing, all that. It is legitimately amazing.
But the fact that the Jovian crystal orb is still just a crystal orb mistaken for battleship rig junk really deflated my bubble.

Three years go by and the old angels can’t put their old gifts to good use before the new old angels with new gifts show up to the party. Oh my God do I hope that we get a planet-shattering kabooms soon.

There is reason to Hope. Yes.

Yes, they are building a kaboom device, either an agile station or a clumsy ship. It might even be very promising. My fear is that the planet shattering kaboom is going to happen in a wormhole that nobody gave a ■■■■ about until a planet went kaboom there. But maybe! Maybe the new old angels will destroy Amarr for the sin of losing their gifts.

It’s what I would do.

“We came down from Heaven and gave you presents and you lost them, so we are blowing up your planet.”

That’s Style! Which, again, is what we need. Cool spaceship parts are just previously-cool spaceship parts painted some new color, I don’t know, like purple or something.

Memo to Heaven: Blow up a planet that people care about! Right this instant!

That assumption is not supported by the facts. There’s evidence that they use human as a separate descriptor and not a compound word. In the most recent messages, one of them says “human augmented entities in non-singleton formats” in a written format without a dash and another says “sampling and analysis of augmented human entities” (the words human and augmented reversed).

The evidence is pretty conclusive that they call us human. Narodnya has to mean something else, and it has to be applicable to capsuleers, Sansha’s Nation, and at least part of the Triglavian Collective. Viable options include words like “ship,” “pilot,” “infomorph,” etc, but not just “human.”

The discussion seems a little that way, but I think I’ll throw my coin in with you. It is not just a literal repeat of “human.” A younger me would have wondered why it was even worth arguing about, but I have matured and this is at least something to talk about while we wait for the kaboom. That’s better than just sitting around waiting for the kaboom.

If only it were a huge Cluster busting kaboom and ten thousand years would pass as a Great Darkness and then some young civilizations (preferably starting much further apart from one another) would find little pieces of our ruins.

I wonder if they would do better than we have.

You are somehow overlooking the most obvious explanation, at least for me. I translate “narodnya” as “tribe” (or any_kind_of_social_organization_unit_on_large_scale).

Narod means nation.

That doesn’t exactly fit with one of the datastreams, which talks about how Sansha troops infiltrated a Damavik “and corrupted Narodnya of Zembog Subclade.” The message (page 257 of the thread) indicates that whatever the Sansha corrupted was either a singular noun or a collective term that fits this sentence structure, which they then “advised immolation” of, and that action was then approved by the Koschoi and carried out by the Navka. So it could be “ship” or “pilot” or it could just be something like “soldiers” or “people” but doesn’t have exactly the same usage as “tribe” would.

Yes thank you, you are correct. I used champion to make the example sentences concrete. But I do not insist that is the Triglavian word. I also suggested words such as workers and combatants. Two people have suggested pilot. Pilot, combatant, worker, champion all fit within known messages. Tribe may or may not fit as Nyphur says.

My culture does use phrases similar to Human Augmented Tribe. They are fanciful such as River Dragon Tribe. Clan and Sect are also common. Ancient Tomb Sect.

Human Augmented Tribe has nice property of underlining that we are in this together. Of course that may mean that if the Tribe chooses the wrong flow, we will be targeted as a Tribe. But either way we choose the other angels will accuse us of having made the wrong choice.

In that case, I offer you another meaning of that word. In Old language, the ORIGINAL meaning of it could be translated as “those who were birthed”.

Transformation into capsuleer type organism may qualify as form of birth or rebirth. That does not translate easily. That may explain why the Triglavians leave it in their language despite translating almost everything.

Difficulty of translation is a characteristic I failed to consider.

I love it and it fits, but the closest ancient translation of narodnya I can find a source for is of a different spelling and has the meaning “folk”, which fits all the sentences but doesn’t necessarily imply birth. In the end, the word we’re getting hung up on could just mean “people”

If they really only meant people (or champion, worker, combatant) then nothing would have prevented them from using that word. I thought use of narodnya was stylistic affection. If I were a linguist or cryptographer I would not have made such a mistake.

The billboard message was not an intercepted communication. It was specifically composed for us. Word choice should be given weight.

They used narodnya because they feel that our language lacks an adequate equivalent. This is similar to the point that Annisir raised about idioms. Narodnya is a concept, and it is sufficiently important to the Triglavians that they are unwilling to use an inadequate translation. A special form of birth which their society was long familiar with but which ours had not yet elevated would qualify.

I feel thankful to M. Naraunt for contributing the insight that difficulty of translation should have been considered.

There is literally only one instance of the word Human in any of the datastream records recovered thus far, speaking to the varied motivations of any of us who enter the Abyss:

«encountered augmented human entities within singleton format ranges exhibit varied allegiance profiles»

And the only places that mentions “Human Augmented Narodnya” outside of the Zorya communication are these, from the newest round of Semiosis notes:

«human augmented entities in non-singleton formats have met diagnostic threshold in multi-variate dimensions triggering countervailing imperatives»


«exploratory operations planning will incorporate contingencies for sampling and analysis of augmented human entities»

None of them include “human” alongside “narodnya”, instead further indicating what I believe - that the intent is Human-Augmented Narodnya” in the Zorya video. We are Narodnya, modified by humans - that is to say, us - instead of Triglavians, as they consider themselves.

In case you doubt me, here are ALL of the datastreams and semiosis notes available to us:

The Singleton format is obviously individuals as opposed to the Sansha hivemind.

I disagree, to be honest. Compare this line, which I believe describes one-man Cruiser dives:

«encountered augmented human entities within singleton format ranges exhibit varied allegiance profiles»

to this, from the newest round of Semiosis notes:

«human augmented entities in non-singleton formats have met diagnostic threshold in multi-variate dimensions triggering countervailing imperatives»

non-singleton format here likely refers to the frigate groups we’ve been allowed to enter into the Abyss with, and something new will happen for that format soon - perhaps Proving Ground access for groups.
