Five essays on awakened Copies, class through processing speed, the Dust Theory, Lambertian life, and a created world that refuses its creators’ account.
Greg Egan's 1994 work Permutation City. Every essay in this series discusses the complete story and contains full spoilers.
A scan begins with another person’s memories but becomes a continuing experience; shared origin cannot give the biological original a permanent right to pause or torment it.
Uploading escapes biological death without escaping scarcity; processing speed determines who can work, love, and participate in the shared present.
A bold account of existence may justify inquiry, but personal risk and investor consent cannot grant one theorist the right to trap others inside an unverifiable world.
The Autoverse begins as an elegant private model, then produces beings whose independent history turns a hobby into an open-ended relation of responsibility.
The created civilization refuses an imposed hierarchy of explanation, revealing that contact changes both worlds and that origin cannot guarantee interpretive authority.
