… The kernel used by the Tethys System appears vastly different from our current terminal systems. The primary difference is that Tethys’s hardware layer is completely invisible to us, and its software language seems to be from an era beyond our own…

The entire Tethys System’s instruction set, source code, and language are highly restricted and not publicly available. We are unable to perform any code-level maintenance because it autonomously manages all tasks… It’s as if it were a natural creation or… it is beyond our understanding.

… However, my observations have revealed a few intriguing details. While Tethys’s code remains tightly guarded, I detect the presence of a stored-program logic architecture - a tried and true computer structure. This design relies on a central processor to access stored data and instructions and carry out computations…

In other words, the Lament data, which is visualized as stars in Tethys, must flow through a system capable of reading and processing it…

Similarly, Tethys shares the same bottle neck as traditional stored-program architectures: its efficiency is limited by the central processor’s read/write speed. Just as insufficient fuel limits a spacecraft’s performance…

However, it seems Tethys employs another logic structure that integrates the entire central processor physically, allowing it to handle all instructions and data simultaneously. This necessitates a processor of unimaginable power, one capable of manage the data throughput of something as massive as the Black Shores… Why would Tethys incorporate such a complex logic structure?

… There are too many mysteries and no answers. I can only document what I’ve discovered, but beyond that, I am powerless.
