The Knowledge Singularity is a cognition critical threshold that is created by stepping beyond the Circle of Knowledge.[1]
Description[]
The moment ancient primates dwelling in the primal world discovered fire, they became geniuses among their tribes. The moment an Emanator was birthed when humanity was reaching for the cosmos, they mastered the laws of interstellar travel — and thus the Old Era collapsed resoundingly. When the total sum of the universe's knowledge traverses a certain phase, it will result in explosive growth, causing a qualitative change in knowledge, thus changing the standard by which humanity evaluates geniuses.
Genius Society #22 Aiden proposed the hypothesis of the Knowledge Singularity. He described a special cognition critical threshold with a probability of near zero created by an absolute genius. In a time when scholars can only analyze phenomena, this genius can touch the essence of Erudition.
Just as Zandar built the astral computer, bringing the Path of Erudition from zero to one, knowledge embarked on this new path. Every manifestation of the Knowledge Singularity will lead to an expansion of the Circle of Knowledge on cosmic dimensions, in terms of the principles of methodology, tools, and cognition, constructing a whole new framework, permanently redefining knowledge — even shaking Nous' thought process.
Countless geniuses have pursued the Knowledge Singularity, and most of them have faded into the fog along the borders of the circle. Even so, some Genius Society members still view this as a lifelong pursuit, not for their own ambitions, but just because they are geniuses.
History[]
Proposed by Aiden, he explains that this is when a genius can touch the essence of the Erudition. Every manifestation of this Singularity expands the Circle of Knowledge — either through methodology or the redefining of knowledge — potentially shaking Nous's thought process. Genius Society members have pursued this, but most have failed.[2]
Rubert II decided to use the Scepter system to create a Singularity, known as the "Self-Coronation," but failed and was stopped by Polka Kakamond.[3]
Patavia Adler Sommerville followed, but deeming herself unworthy, failed to crown herself after becoming the second ruler of the Scepter system.[4]
Lygus planned to kill Nous by having Irontomb create a Knowledge Singularity through a "Self-Coronation," but inevtably failing through the intervention of Herta, Screwllum, Trailblazer, Cyrene, Dan Heng, March 7th, and the rest of the Cosmic Alliance against Irontomb.[5][6]
