Death Title

SkullSkullSkull

Your life will come to an end one day, count on it.

At the point of death the agu reaches it's final extent in the time dimension and consciousness and life ceases for that agu.

If we look down on the realm of that agu from a higher dimension we can see it's entire life laid out like a map. Everything that agu experienced, both internally and externally, and even things that the agu participated in but was not aware of, all laid out, shining and still for examination. The entire life and soul of the agu laid bare for all to see.

At this point consciousness returns to the Transcendent Plane and the Transcendent Uru chooses a new agu to switch it's consciousness to: a tagu of the dead agu, closely or loosely related depending on how many dimensions the conjugate aga share.

The new agu at birth is simply the totality of the Uru's extension into the spatial dimensions of the new Shoku at t=birth. It's life is again simply the totality of its experience, both internally and externally as it proceeds along the time axis.

To explain what this means it is best to look at some specific instances of tagu assumption. Let us consider the most closely related taga ie those with a similarity of 1 or 2.

Shadow Man

Assuming a simple spatial augmentation tagu after death is like comparing a body with its shadow.

Simple Time Swap

Here the agu swaps its time dimension with one of its spatial dimensions.

The awareness of the new agu is of the same order as that of the dead agu. The lives of the 2 taga in their totality are identical.

Life for the new agu will be just as rich but feel very different.

Spatial Reduction

Here the agu loses a dimension of awareness but acquires no new dimensions.

If the agu keeps the same time dimension then life is a subset of its previous existence. Life will be a pale shadow of what it was before. It will, however, be simpler and there is a certain charm in that!

If the agu swaps the time dimension the life seen as whole will be the same as the above, (ie a shadow of the original), but it will feel very different to live it.

Spatial Augmentation

Here the agu adds another dimension to those of the dead agu.

The awareness of the new agu is of a higher order than that of the dead agu. Life will be richer and more complex, the feelings and thoughts inside the agu will be richer and deeper.

If the agu keeps the same time dimension then life is a superset of its previous existence. Life will be very similar in plot but the old life will seem a pale shadow of the new.

If the agu swaps the time dimension then life will not only be richer but will seem to have a different plot.

Temporal Augmentation

Here the agu adds another dimension of time to those of the dead agu.

I'm not sure what this means just yet. Having 2 dimensions of time would mean living with time going forward and back and off into other areas instead of just proceeding forward at a steady rate in a straight line. I think this is too alien a concept for the human mind to properly visualise except to say that life would be incredibly different, much richer, more powerful and far more complex!
