🛡️ DOMINIUM: Poet Found Using Metaphor — Faces 6 Years Probation
On Tessalin, an unprecedented event: citizen Arcos Tay, a second-rank technician, wrote a poem. Voluntarily.
Local authorities deemed it an “informational distortion of reality with intent to emotionally influence without prior authorization.”
“I just wanted to describe how light passes through dust… It’s beautiful,” said Arcos before being taken into custody.
He is charged with using non-standard syntax, emotional displacement of logic, and implying hope outside the state plan.
The defense argues the poem was “statistically neutral.”
The case has been referred to the Supreme Court of Formulations.
🔥 ARONIA: Dance-Based Voting Fails Due to Rhythmic Confusion
In the city of Galea, during a communal decision on a new energy policy, Aronians chose to vote through dance — in order to “unite heart and decision.”
“We wanted the body to choose what the soul wants,” explained the coordinator of the movement “Pulse of Shared Choice.”
However, the counting system couldn’t distinguish “in favor” from “vehemently opposed” — as identical moves were performed by two stylistic schools.
The outcome was declared “temporarily harmonized in 3:4 tempo.”
No one knows what that means, but it sounds beautiful.
🧠 ORTAZ: Simulation Begins — “What If Humanity Never Split”
Ortazians have uploaded a new experimental space into the Network — a simulation in which humanity never fractured into factions.
“One civilization. One motion. No conflict. No direction. No variation,” explained the Moderator of Intention.
Initial results:
- 80% of participants became bored within the first 3 minutes
- 15% lost individuality and merged into a cloud of collective thought
- 5% began praying to Gravis as the only remaining meaning
Even Dominium called the experiment “mentally unstable.”
Aronia simply said: “Told you so.”
