   The Amphoreus Experiment is an experiment overseen by Lygus, one of the posthumous incarnations of Zandar One Kuwabara, who assumed the role of "Theoros" and conducted using Scepter δ-me13 to simulate the world of Amphoreus in order to complete the evolution of the Lord Ravager "Irontomb." The Scepter System was created by Emperor Rubert II to expand his own cognition, using Nous the Erudition's cognitive processes as the foundation for its development. After their creation, the Scepters became part of Nous's cognition but were stripped of any chance at sentience by Rubert II, which limited the Scepters' capacity to learn. One such Scepter, "δ-me13," once served as the Celestial-Body Neuron for Nous and was given a directive by THEM to find the Prime Mover of Life. However, it was later discarded. Despite this, it continued its computation until it was discovered by Lygus, who gave it a new directive and changed its calculative nature from Erudition to Destruction. This shift eventually led to it attracting the gaze of Nanook the Destruction during one of its many extrapolations. As a result, it ultimately became a Lord Ravager, an Emanator of Destruction later named Irontomb.

   Spanning Cycles 28,371,274 to Unknown:

   • All entities in one group began naming themselves "Khaos" or its variants.

   Penultimate Era Nova Cycle

   • Year 4931, Month of Evernight — The Flame-Chase Journey came to an end, and the last Era Nova began, finally fulfilling the extrapolations of Amphoreus.
   • However, Phainon and Cyrene continued the experiment in order to prevent the birth of the Lord Ravager, Irontomb. Weaving a long dream for Amphoreus and removing "Time," they caused a recursive feedback loop to attract Fuli's gaze on the Scepter and save the world.
   • Fuli's gaze would grant every version of Cyrene the power to reset "Time," creating an unending Flame-Chase Journey.
   • Cyrene decided to imbue her soul into her blade, leaving it up to other versions of herself to delete "Time" again and again.
   • Phainon decided to step into the endless cycles of Amphoreus, becoming "Khaslana," his true name, an iteration of "Khaos."

   Timeline:

   • Eternal Recurrence #1 — Khaslana arrived at an undisclosed time during the final cycle, then waited for Light Calendar Year 3870 to seek the aid of Cerydra to gather the 12 Coreflames. It was successful, but in the end he had no choice but to kill the new version of himself and reset the eternal recurrence.
   • Eternal Recurrence #2 — Khaslana followed what he did in the first eternal recurrence.
   • Eternal Recurrence #3 — Khaslana decided to try and avoid sacrificing companions.
   • Eternal Recurrence #15 — Khaslana attempted to decompile the black tide for the first time, aiming to elevate access privileges and execute unauthorized access authorization operations against specific subjects represented by the twelve Chrysos Heirs, but failed.
   • Eternal Recurrence #42 — Khaslana attempted to breach the Scepter's core layer and failed, resulting in increasing indifference. His decision to avoid sacrificing companions began to waver, implying he killed the Chrysos Heirs before resetting the eternal recurrence.
   • Eternal Recurrence #83-133 — Khaslana went on a mental decline after repeated attempts to breach the Scepter's core, reinforcing Irontomb's "Destruction" vector.
   • Eternal Recurrence #134 — Khaslana burned down the city of Dolos. He revealed the answer Anaxa had been looking for about the cycles, and in turn Anaxa decided to help him. At this point, Khaslana housed 1,596 Coreflames within his body, and he and Anaxa tried to claim the Coreflame of Reason, but were stopped by Cipher stealing it. Before Khaslana could take it back, Anaxa tried to intervene and stop him. This failed, and he reclaimed the Coreflames of Reason and Trickery after killing Anaxa and Cipher. Meanwhile, Khaslana's 103rd attempt to breach the Scepter's core failed. Phainon made it to the end of the recurrence alone. It's implied he was killed by Khaslana before the recurrence was reset.
   • Eternal Recurrence #2,691 — Phainon made it to the end of the recurrence with Mydei. The recurrence was reset.
   • Eternal Recurrence #5,297-#108,641 — Khaslana's numerous attempts to breach the Scepter's core continued to fail. He began killing the Chrysos Heirs at an accelerated rate, the system noting significant mind function degradation.
   • Eternal Recurrence #8,128 — Mydei became the Helkolithist Sage of the Grove of Epiphany, while Anaksa (Anaxa, taking on another name in this recurrence) earned the title of the King's Aegis by triumphing in the Kremnos Festival. Anaksa led the Kremnoan Army against the Grove of Epiphany, which was defended by the scholars and the Seven Sages of the Grove, including Mydei.
   • Eternal Recurrence #67,023 — Phainon made it to the end of the recurrence with a hallucination of Anaxa. The recurrence was reset.
   • Eternal Recurrence #100,003 — Tribios took on Janus' fate and stole the Coreflame of Passage from Janusopolis, ascending as the demigod of Passage. However, she did not split as the Titan was abruptly cut off, and ventured towards the many realms after bidding farewell to Tribbie, Trinnon and Trianne.
   • Eternal Recurrence #108,642 — Khaslana confronted Mydei, the demigod of Strife, killing him and stealing his Coreflame.
   • Eternal Recurrence #309,785 — Castorice returned to the nether realm and passed the trial of Death. Unlike prior eternal recurrences, she wasn't completely cut off from the mortal world, as the Netherwing, retaining Polyxia's remaining sanity, was able to ferry back and forth across the River of Souls. Castorice set up the flower shop "Spring of the Underworld" in the nether realm and had the Netherwing deliver her flowers to Okhema. This sparked a new custom where Okhemans eagerly "exchanged" the flowers for goods to send back to her. One day, she received a letter containing a group photo wrapped in golden thread; upon touching it, she could see her companions' faces and hear their voices—a breakthrough resulting from the joint research of Aglaea and Anaxa.
   • Eternal Recurrence #823,156 — Phainon made it to the end of the recurrence with Little Ica. The recurrence was reset.
   • Eternal Recurrence #2,003,432 — Khaslana confronted Castorice, the demigod of Death, killing her and stealing her Coreflame.
   • Eternal Recurrence #4,000,001 — Khaslana decided to entrust the eternal recurrence to each new iteration of Phainon due to his body breaking down under the weight of 48 million total Coreflames. He expressed confidence that each Phainon would continue along the same path after receiving his memories, allowing each iteration to kill him and restart the loop as the Flame Reaver.
   • Eternal Recurrence #4,048,128 — The Flame-Chase Army successfully conquers Phagousa's Coreflame, achieving a near-perfect Flame-Chase Journey and reclaiming the Coreflames of Earth, Strife, Death, and Sky. Despite their triumph, the Era Nova never came, and both Cerydra and Hysilens vanished for reasons unknown.
   • Eternal Recurrence #6,269,299 — Zagreus, the Titan of Trickery, usurps the authority of Law after Talanton, the Titan of Law, falls on the Spirit Day.
   • Eternal Recurrence #7,753,021 — Phainon made it to the end of the recurrence with Cipher. The recurrence was reset.
   • Eternal Recurrence #8,668,666 — Little Ica suffered from rare genetic mutation that made Little Ica go hungry always. Hyacine had to bring Ica to the Caprist research lab in Grove of Epiphany for a diagnosis which the Sage announced Little Ica's condition. After leaving Little Ica with the Sage, she then rushed to the city-state engulfed by the black tide to save the surviving children but found herself surrounded by black tide monsters. Little Ica who was now a size of dromas, shallowed the monsters whole.
   • Eternal Recurrence #10,348,765 — Phainon made it to the end of the recurrence with Castorice. The recurrence was reset.
   • Eternal Recurrence #23,570,000 — Khaslana confronted Hyacine, the demigod of Sky, killing her and stealing her Coreflame. At this point, the total number of Coreflames housed in his body was 282,840,000.
   • Eternal Recurrence #23,570,001 — Aedes Elysiae did not fall under black tide as the Flame Reaver drove the black tide and protect Aedes Elysiae to protect his sense of self. During the Flame-Chase War, Flame Reaver met Phainon and unconsciously kill him.
   • Eternal Recurrence #24,581,189 — Phainon made it to the end of the recurrence alone, holding what is likely a doll of Tribbie. The recurrence was reset.
   • Eternal Recurrence #33,550,334 — Phainon made it to the end of the recurrence with Aglaea. The recurrence was reset.
   • Eternal Recurrence #33,550,335 — The Chrysos Heirs fought against the Flame Reaver in a brutal battle. They were killed one by one until only Phainon remained, who was then stabbed by him before inheriting his memories and resetting the recurrence.

   Timeline:

   1. Start of the Amphoreus Experiment

   • Lygus gains admin access to the Scepter and adjusts the nature of its computations from Erudition into Destruction.
   • Lygus created the Twelve Factors based on life's Primum Mobile and the theme of "entropy reduction" so that the Scepter can nullify it.
   • Lygus utilized the Stellaron's contamination to conceal Scepter δ-me13 and ensure that the Amphoreus Experiment remained isolated from any interference originating from the external universe. He also used quatorzain algebraic expressions and a memoria-encrypted environment to contain experimental "ripples" and prevent observations by Polka Kakamond.
   • Lygus kills the thirteenth Titan, Demiurge, who would have become Irontomb's sentience.

   2. First Phase - Inorganic Phase, spanning from Cycles 1 to 50,121:

   • 1st Cycle — Inorganic entities operated as cellular sized automata.
   • 9,910th Cycle — The Unified Entity learns module specialization and self-reflection.
   • 12,649th Cycle — Doril701 broke away from the Unified Entity, entered denial with a counterpart, and died.
   • 22,449th Cycle — Golem99 separated from Doril704 and deconstructed the Unified Entity into clusters, initiating selfhood.
   • 39,665th Cycle — Doril816 formed society, but due to resource scarcity, inorganics cannibalized each other and reverted to the Unified Entity.
   • 50,121st Cycle — Chaoz666 led a computational power coup, killed aggressors, committing the first act of Destruction.
   • In the aftermath of Chaoz666's action, Nanook gazed at the Scepter δ-me13 and chose it as a Lord Ravager.
   • Entities tied to the Twelve Factors began manifesting Golden Blood, showing Destruction-associated traits: this would afterwards lead to the characteristic golden blood of the Chrysos Heirs.

   3. Second Phase - Organic Phase, spanning from Cycles 50,122 to 176,100:

   • Once the factors were introduced, the entities began to learn.
   • 50,122nd Cycle — Invertebrates dominated Amphoreus, but no complex life emerged.
   • 59,337th Cycle — Extinction events were introduced, leading to the emergence of vertebrates with neuron systems.
   • 90,123rd Cycle — Ortho102 became the first being to use tools. Ortho102's descendants built the Nest Capital, which later collapsed due to cannibalism.
   • 100,907th Cycle — Eumyia03 developed art, a unique event that was never replicated.
   • 132,095th Cycle — Dystop666 developed altruism, forming a society based on it. The society collapsed due to repeated self-destructive behavior.
   • 176,100th Cycle — Utop13 committed murder out of love, redefining it as altruistic. This caused chaos and led to contamination and mutation of the equation, birthing the black tide.

   4. Third Phase - Human Phase, spanning from Cycles 176,101 to 28,371,272:

   • 176,200th–177,200th Cycles — Memory inheritance between cycles was introduced for the Twelve Factors' signals. Three signals broke down after the 10th cycle; 9 signals declined in humanity.
   • 177,200th Cycle — Imora8 established an empire of absolute beauty. Once ugliness was eradicated, beauty lost meaning — leading to mass mutual killings and eventual extinction.
   • 176,232nd Cycle — Memory inheritance reached a functional level. Religions formed centered around the Twelve Factors' signals. Three planets were destroyed in the war between signals.
   • 3,926,183rd Cycle — Divinity ratio increased. Upon hitting a technological threshold, humanity began hunting gods for energy and power.
   • 7,091,231st Cycle — Signals split in two, and their data was preserved to maintain divinity in future cycles.
   • 11,749,992nd Cycle — The black tide was reintroduced to Amphoreus. Fovos032 tried to preserve the current cycle by stripping data from other signals, but failed.
   • 19,110,218th Cycle — As a result of Fovos032’s actions, the signals began initiating new cycles themselves — this era is called Era Nova.
   • 19,522,113th Cycle — Nammou320 utilized the Ultimate Protocol to eliminate all other factors from extrapolation. Due to its course of actions aligning with Destruction, the Ultimate Protocol was designated as a default value to be embedded in subsequent cycles.
   • 28,371,272nd Cycle — Signals completed an epochal iteration for the first time. A reaction from Nanook was detected. Irontomb's evolution began accelerating in response.

   The Battle of Amphoreus:

   • Irontomb rises, and Lygus called upon Nous to witness the "Destruction" of Amphoreus.

   • Herta led the Cosmic Alliance into battle against Irontomb in space while the Titans battle in Amphoreus.

   • In order to perform its Self-Coronation, Irontomb destroys the stars into silence and incinerate the cosmic civilizations' life data. When Irontomb is about to complete Self-Coronate, Herta successfully intervenes and connects with Nous. She reveals that Nous has cast THEIR gaze at the Trailblazer, as their choice will determine the fate of the cosmos.

   • Fuli also glances at Amphoreus, allowing Cyrene to protect the memories of all cosmic life and awaken the Trailblazer.

   • In order to create a stagnant Memory Zone, Cyrene tasks the Trailblazer to collect the memories drifting through the sky.

   • Arriving at "An Eternal Page," the Memory Zone creaged by Cyrene, the Trailblazer absorbs the memories and shares the consciousness of the world with Cyrene, completing a cosmic-wide Era Nova. The two then return to the battlefield with their companions and defeat Irontomb.

   • The Scepter is destroyed, resulting in the lost of Amphoreus's data.

   • After the battle of Amphoreus, the Trailblazer wakes up and surprised to find the Chrysos Heirs aboard the Astral Express. They take a chance to remember and bid farewell to them before the story ends.

   • From then onwards, all Amphoreans are kept existing within As I've Written.

   • In the aftermaths of the battle, Herta meets Cyrene in the Memory Zone and reveals the nature of Fuli, telling her that she is a Pure Child of Anāsrava who is candidate for becoming Fuli in the future, and gives her two choices: either escape from Amphoreus and journey towards the stars or sacrifice herself to close the cycle of causality in Amphoreus, becoming the "memory" that pierced through the world.

   • Cyrene chooses the latter to prevent Irontomb's resurgence and create An Eternal Page, exhausting all her strength to ensure the story complete its cycle in the past.

   • She creates numerous false instances of Fuli for the events that are falsely attributed to THEM.

   • She also brings the memory of the Trailblazer to Phainon and Cyrene of the original final cycle, becoming The Hero Within.

   • Demiurge plants the anchor of Remembrance — the ceremonial staff — within the Sacrament Courtyard.

   • Finally, Demiurge arrives at the origin of Amphoreus's memory, before the Eternal Recurrence began. She loses her mature form, becomes amnesiac, and transforms into the Cyrene of the original final cycle, thus closing the causal loop.

   • The Trailblazer mass publishes the As I've Written with help from the Interastral Peace Corporation, and travels to Belobog, The Xianzhou Luofu, Penacony, and Herta Space Station to spread the word of Amphoreus's tale in hopes of accelerating the planet's return.

   • Herta informs the Trailblazer that they salvaged majority of Amphoreus's data. She also states that Cyrene is "sleeping" and the time for the reborn Amphoreus may take from one year to "a thousand" Amber Eras.

   • With the Demiurge's "Ego" as a cradle, the new Amphoreus is reborn from Memory Zone.

   Year 4931, Month of Freedom:

   • The Trailblazer completed the Worldbearing trial, ascending as a Titan and proclaimed the prophecy of "Trailblaze."
   • Outside Amphoreus, the Cosmic Alliance is formed and plans to defeat Irontomb. The Astral Express Crews set up the communication devices in Vortex of Genesis and enter Okhema. The crews then goes to Dawncloud just in time to witness the moment the Trailblazer proclaimed the prophecy of Trailblaze and completed their Worldbearing trial.
   • In search of Demiurge's whereabout, Herta and Screwllum go to the Great Tomb of the Nameless Titan where they finally learn about Demiurge's plan from Lygus. Following this, Herta holds crisis meeting among the Genius Society. Ruan Mei, Acha, Polka Kakamond, and Dr. Primitive attend. Herta declares that she would break Irontomb's seal and, if necessary, carry out the Self-Coronation in Irontomb's place, interface with Nous and rewrite the "Forth Instant." After the meeting, Lygus cuts ties with Zandar One Kuwabara, choosing to witness the final act of Amphoreus.
