„Pal! I found it! I finally found someone who knows something about the location of one of the planets hidden in P-City!”
A rather small person in the barely lit room, woke up from his sleep, sitting in a big and cosy armchair, and said, with a sleepy voice, to the tall women, in the door ”Which one?”, she replied “It’s Coruscus, not Trentor!”.
…
So they got all their scientific instruments, informed their colleagues, and travelled with their space ship, for some days from the modern part of P-City to this remote location of this unparalleled “City”.
For centuries this city is growing, incorporating at least a stellar sector.
… So they flew at maximum speed through one of the main caverns, surrounded by endless queues of transporters and personal space ships, all on their way to one of the trillions of homes and places, surrounding them in this organic space city.
Slimène stared out of the over sized window, and thought about this place, which always fascinated her. She lived in one part of this artificial stellar organism all her life.
She often thinks about how it must have been to live in a different place, in the past where everything was much slower and unconnected. Without the luxuries of this interconnected shifting, organic place formed every day anew by the thoughts and will of trillions of living beings.
She never felt lost in this world, because in her culture, inter-connected thinking is such an usual thing, and location and structure in this network is not of such an importance.
It is like your surrounding network of things and places is a mirror of your brain, your surrounding environments shift all the time, connected and built like your thoughts and neurons of your personal neural network.
Your own entity often melts with your surrounding … your body is your personal core, but you always can expand further, out of your real boundaries, you even can be at several places in several artificial bodies, or even natural beings, sharing all things of this universe at the same time, living as a somewhat multi-entity…
In the past, many would have identified this connected experiencing of the world, as the ‘force’, ‘qi’ or ‘mana’, but it is in its creation something artificial … but sometimes you can’t see anymore if it is really something artificial.
Sometimes Slimène thinks, maybe we learned also to hear some form of universal connection, like they described in the ancient times.
Maybe it is because this world of organisms have grown so vast, maybe we are just one part of a self aware entity, and we are the neurons within it and feel the will of this maybe universal entity, through this universal connection, for the first time since things like the force were described.
Maybe it is the next step to connect even hidden places like, which we are on our way right now, places within this network, which has become so vast that the normal connection is not able to reach, from one end to the other…
…so we had to leave our network, which we are used to, and once again explore and get connected to an other part of this connected universe…
… maybe it is crucial to always rewire, reconnect and refresh the network and to built up new local networks, maybe the universal connection is not thought to be completely understood and experienced as the artificial connection.
As a human from the ancient world would put it, this city is a place where everything is created and experienced through the force, a utopia for every Jedi, where Jedi masters are normal people.
The civilization is built and living without anything else then the force and them who use it, as force-engineers of this force engineered world.
…
And then they dove down in one of the billions of cracks and tubes surrounded by citadels and lights, down to the remote locations of this city, disconnected from the network surrounding, which they are used to…
…
… she felt a new kind of freedom, a freedom from the free organic living ocean of information, things and places, which Slimène was so used to…
…for the first time she didn’t have to filter, link and organise the loosely connected information and places in her body-environment network, …when her eyes slowly were closing, when she fell asleep, to wake up in a new world…
…
…”It’s full of ways and possibilities”…

After I had a nice small conversation per SMS with a good friend of mine about the force and wishing him luck for his math Matura.
