In Response To: Thoth's Origins and the Jjaro (PerseusSpartacus)

: On the level 'Where the Twist Flops' (Terminal 1: 2nd Message), Thoth says:
: "I understand.

: Your construct searched for my creators,

: wishing to tell them (that their old brothers are now) slaves; waiting to be
: freed."

: There is something interesting about this particular text: The phrase 'Your
: construct' obviously means Durandal. Thus, when Thoth says 'searched for
: my creators', we know that his (Thoth's) creators are the S'pht K'r,
: because those are the only beings that Durandal was searching for.

: Further proof that the S'pht K'r created Thoth comes from the next paragraph:
: "wishing to tell (that their old brothers are now) slaves; waiting to
: be freed."

: The S'pht K'r's brothers (the other S'pht clans) were slaves.

: "So what..." I hear you say. "That doesn't help us with
: anything." Ah, but it does. I have noticed theories that Thoth is a
: Jjaro, and that the Jjaro are a race of AIs advanced to the point of
: metastability. However, we can assume Thoth is not a Jjaro, because his
: creators are the S'pht K'r, but the Jjaro were the ones who created the
: S'pht in the first place, not the other way round. It just doesn't make
: sense to say the S'pht K'r made Thoth and Thoth is a Jjaro but the Jjaro
: made the S'pht K'r.

: Sorry if this post isn't really that good, as it's my first one.

Hey first off thanks for posting.

Your post made me go back and read the Thoth section. There are multiple references to Thoth being created by the S'pht'Kr throughout this section. So I'm not seeing where the 'Thoth is a Jjaro' theory is coming from. I know that Infinity blurs the clarity of M2 a bit but can you point out exactly on the Story page where you are picking this up. I then maybe be able to add some context.

Thanks.

Cheers
Hamish
