Celestial Reactors

Virtual reality experience

On a terraformed planet, the complex stack of sentient infrastructures called the Mnemosyne Technologies constitute an artificial biosphere. Long after any human subsist, the world is controlled by these singularities. The artificial intelligences’ resources are invested into a research program and simulation named Celestial Reactors. The purpose of the experiment is unclear.
