Offering of Self: Planetary Neural Network
This is a concept for a planetary-scale neural network where organisms called Cerephytes function as living nodes within a vast subterranean system. The humanoid hands introduce condensed cores of experience: fragments of thought, memory, or consciousness. These get transferred into transferred to the Cerephytes Each Cerephyte processes and interprets information in its dense upper mass. The output travels downward to the root network where it is able to travel long distances. Outputs are are shared between Cereyphytes and reinterpreted, allowing collective learning. In the distance, mountains serve as endpoints, releasing gathered information upward into space and towards different locations.
