Concordat Imperium and Cliodynamics Foundation

Concordat Imperium and Cliodynamics Foundation



Concordat Imperium, The Sephirotic Empire of a Billion Worlds.

Wisely ruling and guided by the vision of the all knowing Sovereign according to the precepts of the Cliodynamics Foundation.

The Cliodynamics Foundation, formulators of predictive "history theory", is the basis of the Empire’s social engineering. The Social Engineering Codex created by the Cliodynamics Foundation is known as the forms, the forms must be obeyed.

Foundation tenure Adolphe Quetelet developed "social physics", the statistical laws underlying the behaviour of populations.

Foundation fellows Stuart Kauffman and Ilya Prigogine use complexity theory, an offshoot of chaos mathematics theory, to apply the concepts of statistical modeling to sociological evolution.

Foundation trustee John J. Xenakis proposed Generational Dynamics as a historical methodology to analyzes historical events through the flow of generations, and uses the analysis to forecast future events by comparing today's generational attitudes to those of the past".

Foundation Professor Peter Turchin heads a special taskforce within the foundation based on his manifesto: War and Peace and War: The Life Cycles of Imperial Nations.

Local autonomy and fiefdoms are granted based on the conclusions reached by the Cliodynamics Foundation and confirmed by the prescient visions of the Sovereign. Imperial Observers and Imperial Inquisitors collect from the provinces and disseminate information to the provinces as per the will of the Sovereign.

Imperial Observers and Imperial Inquisitors are guided by the prescient visions of the Sovereign. It is the responsibility of these Imperial servants to know, understand and embrace the meaning of these visions, trusting in the prescience of the visions and carrying out the conclusions as dictated in the forms.

The Geminga Sphere, also known as the Solomani Rim is the local bubble of space where the interstellar dust was mostly cleared by the Geminga Supernova Event 336,000 years ago. This area of space, containing 1300 sectors, approximately 300 light-years in diameter has been granted autonomy by the Concordat. The fledgling provincial empires conduct their affairs mostly unaware of the grant. 1300 sectors and 300 light-years in diameter might appear vast by provincial standards, but it is less than 0.4% of Administrative Division 2814, one of 3600 such administrative divisions.

The Concordat Imperium Wormhole Nexus is a web of communications gauge and traversable gauge wormholes constructed, maintained and operated by the trans-sapient navigators of the Spatium Tempus Navigatum Corpus. Although other forms of interstellar transit exist, this is the fastest and most efficient method possible.

Spatium Tempus Navigatum Corpus ensures the rapid deployment of Concordat Janissaries in the event of insurrection or the collapse of local control of the system. It also ensures the safe transit of Imperium Servants. As the wormhole nexus does not actually pass thru the local space, it is immune to any attacks between systems. Imperium Servants who do not employ the nexus are to safeguard their travel plans carefully and to arrange for proper escort. Justification must be made in accordance with the forms for not using the safe passage of the Pax Corpus.

Certain systems identified by the foundation and confirmed by the vision of the Sovereign are designated as bifurcation points, which are prediction and prescient blindspots. These systems are afforded special attention and handling, sometimes of the good kind. Special emissaries are dispatched directly by the Concordat Imperium Court to see to the implementation of certain Imperial Decrees to said bifurcation points.

My Dune Review

My Dune Review by Aodhfionn Tysysacha   ENVY ME! I got to watch the new Dune movie. Sandworms dominate the sands of Araxes and the minds of people the way Sharks and Whales dominate the sea and the minds of people when they think of the ocean. Fear and awe. They're huge, too big for the mind to comprehend. In that way, Dune is maybe too big. Dune was always filled with innumerable things too big for the mind to grasp.  An impossibly complex plot by their enemies, surrounded and beset by people with their own impossibly complex agenda’s and plots. In the novel, The Emperor remarks that Duke Atreides own military forces are nearly as effective as his feared Sardukar forces, and his honourable ways are making him popular among the other nobility of the Landsraad. He and the devious Baron Harkonnen hatch a plan to put the potential upstart in his place. Their plan is like giving a political appointment to oversee Afghanistan, they assume the planet itself will overwhelm them e...

Antimatter Catalyzed Microfusion Engine (The ACME)

Image
Antimatter Catalyzed Microfusion Engine (The ACME) The name is something of a misnomer, because the antimatter is not actually a true catalyst, it is consumed. Antimatter Triggered Fission Implosion MicroFusion Pulse Engine (ATFIMPE) makes for a very uninteresting and unwieldy acronym. Soooo, ACME it is. Antimatter is a pain in the neck to manufacture, with highly problematic storage issues. While antimatter produces over 1000 times more total energy per unit mass than traditional Deuterium/Tritium Fusion, it is also minimum ten times more expensive per unit energy output than modern efficient fusion Most people do not consider it, but antimatter induces a more efficient fission reaction than normal fission methods. Antimatter is way better at liberating neutrons from Uranium-235. Liberating Neutrons is what Fission is (write that down, it will be on the final exam). Regular fission, 1 or 2 neutrons are liberated, which then like dominoes liberates 1 or 2 neutrons in the next atom thos...

Araxes is colder than most people expect.

Image
  The thought that first comes to people’s minds when they imagine a desert planet is hot. Most of Araxes is actually quite chilly. More so because of the thinner atmosphere in general and the altitude especially in the south.   Solar Radiation levels on Araxes is about 10 times terrestrial standard, about 3% of the amount in interplanetary space. This can be shielded against with some reasonable precautions. Most Araxes out of door gathering are at dusk and dawn for precisely this reason. Araxes however is susceptible to solar storms and solar flares dramatically increasing the already very high solar radiation levels. People are asked to pay close attention to the weather reports and take the recommended precautions as per the news bulletins.   Araxes has almost no axial tilt, seasonal variations are minimal.   Dark Blue 0-800 metres LtBlue     800-1600 metres Green     1600-2400 metres Yellow    2400-3200 m...
