#5th Density

[queststhroughduality]

[creature-wizard]

I don't know what 5D is and at this stage I'm scared to ask (...like...1D but more boys? Like 3D but...more cubic????)... New Age makes no sense

So, New Age metaphysics posit that there are various levels of matter density. As far as I know, this is basically derived from of the ages-old notion that body and soul are essentially made of two different kinds of matter - the body is made of gross (dense) matter, while the soul is made of subtle (fine) matter. Rather confusingly, they use the words "density" and "dimension" interchangeably, even though this has fuck-all to do with any kind of spatial dimension. Supposedly, we live in "3D" right now, or the "third density." New Agers believe that once they receive enough DNA upgrades or "light codes", they will ascend into the fifth density, which is basically a more ethereal state of being. Now for anyone wondering where the genocide comes in, the thing is that a lot of New Agers believe that the world must be purged of "negative" entities in order for the shift to truly take place worldwide. It does depend somewhat on who you ask, but they consider everything from COVID-19 to climate change to be part of this purging process. Sometimes it goes further; many believe that the "elite" must be arrested and executed first - and with all the antisemitic and anti-science conspiracism rampant in this movement, I'm sure you can work out who that means.

I always did have the head canon that after Rayman Legends most of Globox’s kids already grew up since both Ray and Globox slept for 100 years some of them even had kids of their own

i really didnt like the 100 years thing so i built an entire glade years system around it so it like. effectively felt like ~3 years of nothing in particular happening

to elaborate on this im just assuming everyone has the equivalent of a human lifespan (but they can go beyond that if theyre stubborn enough) but one earth year (in a human lifespan that is) = 30 glade years

as in like, if rayman was the equivalent of a 13 year old in rayman 1, in actuality he would be like around 390 in glade years. and nearly 4 entire centuries is still considered pretty young

in addition i think a glade year itself is like a third of earth's year, like the planet revolves faster around the suns. so the ACTUAL time passed would have been, in this comparison, around 130 earth years

so to summarize the actual timespan of his existence at this age would have been ~130 earth years, which is ~390 glade years because its years are shorter, and this is the equivalent to being a 13 year old. does that make sense. ive put a lot of thought into this

its kind of fun i think

and yeah i think the kids are maybe like teenagers at most now

"How realistic are mecha, really?": They aren't, but not for the reason you're thinking of or the one adjacent to it. Trust me.

Crossposted from reddit, since people seemed to like it. Like in the thread, I am very happy to answer questions about any esoteric weirdness.

Hold my beer. Again

They're not becoming a possibility. Yes. I know. This sucks. But stick around. Its not for the reasons you think. Well it is, but it also isn't. You'll see.

The robot needs the technology more than the technology needs a robot.

the technologies which the robot needs will improve and alter the doctrine of every other platform

This creates a doctrinal lock-in where the potential functional space for them to exist is unmet -- that they are so far ahead, that nothing new can emerge that isn't just other platforms becoming more generalized (eg, a post-stall recovery aircraft, or a helicopter with high impact landing-gear and a rigid rotor/jet engine design to act as a surface-fighter -- a tank which walks or manoeuvres like a robot is just flat out of the question: Tanks are made to be simple-as-fuck boxes which tank hits, and shoot and acquire asap and rumours of their deaths as a doctrinal weapon are exaggerated by recent events where obsolete weapons which aren't maintained properly who's crews aren't adequately trained were fighting very clever civilians with drones)

What you consider "realistic" (5th/6th) is just as if not more unrealistic than other gens purely because of their smaller size and very bizarre relationship with the environment -- they're just both too big, and too small to make sense, sitting in a size niche which is just very weird

If such a vehicle does exist, its going to be defined by its functions rather than a humanoid appearance

we know this because specialized platforms tend to beat specialized platforms historically until specialized platforms mature and become generalized

thus, the closest you're probably going to get is some weird variation of DARPA's Ground X Vehicle Project meeting with Gravity Industry' style mobility in limited cases, hybridized with smaller robots and wingsuits, which mix manoeuvring operation styles, with some rocker-boogie mechanism elements for terrain handling: It won't be humanoid, whatever it is.

This is assuming you can magically solve the square-cube law of volume-mass which is partially negatable with certain custom topologies exceeding graphene but actually manufacturing them would be miserable work probably not even be something you can make without microgravity

Energy flat out isn't solvable with what we know about right now. Nothing with that energy density can exist that isn't going to simultaneously make for an incredible fragile, dangerous and problematic source of power given the forces involved. Cooling is also a horrifyingly unsolvable problem on this scale, as is radiation management: You can't just dump molten tungsten in emergency cooling mode - you'll not only proceed to alert everybody who has even the vaguest IRST capacity to your position, but you'll also probably set fire to the environment and cook off your own ammunition. *

Motors aren't well suited to the tasks of such bodies (its like trying to make a slingshot out of dental floss), and we don't have an effective way to turn electricity into a form of motion which corresponds with the shock absorbing and motion control qualities which are actually desirable yet

Even if we did, the actual means of ensuring it doesn't fragment every time it moves don't exist. Every time an A10C fires its main gun, the fuel lines micro-fracture and have to be replaced after it lands. Metal, when you subject it to high physical forces ends up feeling and behaving closer to how you would think of glass. You'd need a material capable of repairing itself too, atop the quasicrystalline property which again, just isn't doable, let alone simultaneously.

So in terms of our mindset going into this?

Its... Probably not happening barring a very, VERY extreme change to how we understand physics to function, or some really kick ass (and actually entirely possible) changes in how engineering achieves outcomes (which could happen if the greatest threat to the mecha didn't exist)

Combat is moving towards information dominance. 

That's drone swarms, and role modularized long range travel, and the idea of fighter beyond-visual-range combat extending out to infared search and track systems which are networked to one another, which we're already seeing in singleton weapons and their mounting strategies even on the personal scale, which DARPA is currently investigating which everybody wants to mate with the gravity industries gear for boarding ops so the most likely avenue is to scale up from people, rather than scale down from vehicles as the development pathway -- but there's probably going to be multiple pathways with competing niches once the technology becomes cheap enough.

Costing

Ultimately its down to "how much money do I have to spend to defeat something more expensive than myself?" -- because our current structure of war is defined by cost, and by making the other guys surrender by using economic, and military violence (private, and publicly funded) instead of convincing them that we (NATO members, etc) have good opinions purely because of the natural benefits of "doing as we say" (which we see with basically any conflict in the last 70 years, which are usually feigned as ideological but pretty much always about disrupting market competition, dominating markets, or controlling a pressure position in another country to achieve those two things).

This isn't because they're particularly excellent weapons, but because they're cheap relative to the strength they offer, and how we define cheap is very different to how we defined cheap 100 years ago -- both in good, and terrible ways (such is the way of history).

Mecha are kinda the ultimate boondoggle. They are very very expensive, and just don't make sense.

They're cool as hell, yes.

But they don't make sense.

DISCLAIMER: If you're prone to depression, are dealing with a lot right now, or don't want your day ruining, you should stop reading NOW. What comes next is a psychosocial hazard and could be very bad for your mental health. LAST CHANCE . . .

The "real" reasons

If conflict some how became a meritocracy of leading by excellence rather than intimidation, and about human outcomes instead of cost outcomes, then things could change, but we don't live in that world.

Remember, violence exists to end human conflict (not to be confused with military conflict, which violence is the primary instrument of): Human conflict is when two parties oppose one another and communicate about what their goals and intentions are. Violence happens when communication stops. Communication stops, because parties cannot come to terms, or because nobody wants to be reasonable because the inherent request is unreasonable to the interests of the other party.

I'd love to say physics is the greatest threat, or maybe our concept of conflict but its not: * Its economics.

The concept of private-equity (not to be confused with venture-capital investment) is kiiiind of the dominant economic system on the face of the planet which dictates the interest of every nuclear power's actions against every non-nuclear power) is functionally dissolved, and investment models as we know them magically become better regulated OR a better economic system comes along which totally undermines private equity.

Its an economic finger-trap where most of the money that would be reinvested into people and technologies to push the world forward ends up getting swallowed up.

It also has private armies) and simulates the economy and political events in order to control them for maximum profitability. Yeah.)

We already live in Armored Core, folks.

And that economic system knows that if it gave free agents like ravens any kind of military power, it would functionally undermine itself, which is why it will never happen.

Private equity benefits from not having technology change, because its primary goal is wealth extraction. It leads to the collapse of every business you've ever seen go under, its why products undergo enshittification, which is coming for everything.

Its why the housing crisis happened, why the banking collapse happened, and its why there's an incentive to continue industrializing diseases like insulin instead of curing them.

tl;dr:

The one thing AC gets super wrong is you can either have the depressing relatable low-saturation late-stage hyper-capitalist dystopia where life is cheap on planet earth and everything terrible about South Korea times a thousand covers the whole world, and you need to have your own organs brought from you and leased back to you to lock you in to a lifetime of debt the same way everything else works...

OR

you can have the robot;

You can't have both.

e: I'd pick the robot any day

Apologies for any inaccuracies, I haven't edited this and I threw the original together in the space of around 40 minutes. Questions very welcome: I enjoy giving long detailed and substantiated answers.

Here’s a statement from someone apparently claiming insider knowledge:

Many people have been let go (under the guise of performance) and in the past week the pace picked up from individuals to entire teams. Automattic seems adamant these are not layoffs, but people dissapear instantly without being offered alternative teams.

In the asks just now you have pretty much stated that there are no layoffs.

The leak was from over a month ago, October 5th. What's tricky is that Automattic is continuously also doing performance management to increase the talent density at the company, and that will continue. We want the very best people on small teams that can do big things. It's a really hard and valuable job. We pay super-well to try and find the best folks who can solve these tricky problems. Automattic is continuously hiring and firing people to try to create the best open web tech team in the world.

A Black Hole in M87's Center? - March 5th, 1996.

"The center of nearby giant galaxy M87 is a dense and violent place. In this 1994 photograph by the Hubble Space Telescope, a disk of hot gas was found to be orbiting at the center of this massive elliptical galaxy. The disk is evident on the lower left of the above photograph. The rotation speed of gas in this disk indicates the mass of the object the gas is orbiting, while the size of the disk indicates an approximate volume of the central object. These observations yield a central density so high that the only hypothesised object that could live there is a black hole. The picture also shows a highly energetic jet emanating from the central object. The jet is composed of fast moving charged particles and has broken into knots as small as 10 light years across."

Ellie Williams X Fem Reader

omg, my first fic, eek! so scared lowk but I have so much saved in my docs that I need to spill soon. Ok, love ya, lmk what u think, constructive crit is welcomed per usual <3 ⚢

❦❧❦❧❦❧❦❧❦❧❦❦❧❦❦❧❦❧❦❧❦❧❦❧❦❦❧❦❦❧❦❧❦❧❦❧❦❧

  It was a cool mid Autumn morning. You sat there with the open window breezing against your flushed face and loose hair. It was an empty one-bedroom house, the cold air accompanied by the hollow walls made it eerie but relaxing. Wearing simply a baggy t-shirt and underwear you rose from the nest of a bed that formed while you slept. Although you snore, you sleep like a baby. With a head full of messy dark brown hair, a quick finger comb through your hair evens out the texture and density to some extent. Rolling out of bed, you crack your back, letting out a groan of relief, slowly easing your way out of your cozy bed. Come the fall time, the need for patrol hits its peak, most infected don’t stay out in the cold, so they tend to be the most active at the cusp of autumn.

As your eyes adjust to the light from the outside, so do your ears, the muttering of Jackson echoed through the neighborhood and led into your home. You reach for the hairbrush next to your bedside and try your best to aggressively claw out the knots left.

While you brushed and brushed your long hair, you heard the voices becoming more distinct. One specific member of the town, Ellie, became particularly known very quickly and very shortly. Her voice was raspy and stuck out quickly from the crowd; you could pinpoint it was her instantly. Not only did she just arrive a few years prior, but she was quick. With a quick tongue and a quicker fist, no one fucked with her. She was like a chihuahua, all bark and bite. Intimidating, but intriguing and sometimes weird to look at for too long. But oh did she piss you off, getting cocky and assertive in the smallest of tasks. She always insists on signing the postbooks, never shares her rations, and complains about hypothermia despite only wearing thin canvas sneakers. 

God was she the fucking worst.

Hearing all the commotion outside, you persist, throwing on a pair of jeans, a belt, and a long-sleeved black top, rolling up the sleeves to your elbows. As you get to the door, you swing on a pair of your best and only boots and slide into a pocket-ridden jacket. You searched for your lighter and handgun, striking the white lighter to double-check its usage. You then make your way out of the suburban make-shift home and easily make your way to Jackson, the city you grew up in. 

The leaves crunched below your boots as you made your way to the town center, where the majority of the town gathered that morning for the patrol assignments. Looking around you see familiar face after face, lining the circle surrounding Maria and the handful of men who surrounded her. Fortunately, you missed the entire meeting, but unfortunately as you have zero idea what the fuck you’re assigned to do. Surprisingly, Maria didn’t call you out like she usually does, by now she would've had your neck for being this casually late to a meeting like this, especially such an important one- 

“Y/n.” Maria states assertively, the loud chatting turning to a shushed mumble.

You look around trying to avoid the piercing eye contact but falling back into her stone-cold stare, it went right through you, sending shivers and goosebumps.

“Yes, ma’am?” You ask, never using such proper language when addressing someone, ever in your life, you shuttle at the look Maria gave.

Her boot steps sounded louder than they ever did before.

“This is the 5th time this month.” She barked, the surrounding crowd turning away and quickly sharing chatter with their cliques. 

“Yeah, I know, just trust me, I was in a rush, I didn’t even put my hair up,” You say, placing your hands in your pockets in the hope of hiding your anxious picking.

“I watch you stroll into the center all relaxed, you seem in no way of a rush,” Maria stated, her voice lowering as she raised a single eyebrow.

“Okay and?” Y/n mumbles, “Guarantee it wasn’t anything important.” 

She lowered her eyebrow, crossed her arms, and raised her head abruptly, “You missed patrols, you were assigned the post north-east of Kelly,” Maria’s lips curled, looking y/n up and down as she walked away to her office building, “better get packing, that’s nothing important, right?”. You could hear the smile form on Maria’s lips as she walked away.

Are you fucking kidding me? Kelly, the farthest post owned by Jackson, all because you missed one meeting? Not even just the Kelly outpost, the farthest fucking post all the way up in the peaks- oh my fucking god. 

Growing up in Jackson, you were trained for all different kinds of situations. Though you weren’t born here, it was where you learned everything you know now. Combat, shooting, hunting, gathering, and all the basics. Yeah, you weren’t always at the top of your class in everything, but you were a damn good aid. Knowing each medicine by its prefix or suffix, biology, and medicine is where you shine. Yeah, not combat, but you can survive, that’s all that matters. 

“Who am I posted with?” Y/n called out, a scoff leaving your voice as you exhaled, her eyes closed hoping for a big group where she could simply sit back and watch.

With Maria’s back still turned, she answered with a pause. “Williams, she has the experience you don’t, trust me, you won't be that screwed.” 

You stood there waiting for more people to be announced on your patrol. Nope, just Ellie. Fucking. Williams. 

With a groan of dissatisfaction, you turned around, looking through the crowds of people, with everyone holding warm mugs and staying clumped together, it was hard to find that short mother-fucker. You still couldn’t believe it, peering between each conversation, trying to find the auburn-headed girl. She was so obviously loud this morning, how could you not find her now, when you actually needed to get ahold of her. 

Suddenly, after walking around town center for a minute, you overhear a group of chatter, 

“I can’t believe Maria would pair you two up like that,” One voice echoed down an alley.

“I know- like out of all of us standing there, she picks y/n.” Another states.

“I’m fucked.” Says another. 

That was the voice. The raspy and obvious voice stood out so quickly to your ears.

You followed the group of voices, walking down a strip of self-owned stores, the in-between of the two buildings had voices spilling out of it. You walked closer, and upon turning into the alleyway,

There she was.

Portal to the 5th Dimension Talon Abraxas

Fifth Density (5D) is a completely nonphysical state of existence. It functions both as a stopover zone (the “afterlife”) for departed 2D/3D/4D souls and as a native realm for 5D beings who have evolved to that density after transcending 4D. The natives of 5D seem focused on accumulating the highest wisdom and total perfection of their individuality. This is the first density that is entirely nonphysical.

[gorbalsvampire]

Have you picked up and read the recent WoD 5th edition books, like blood strained love? How is this edition stacking up as they slowly add more splats? Are there any future releases you're interested in? Are there more things you'd like to see from WoD 5e that they don't have right now? Personally I feel like the concept of the loresheets was fun and interesting, but the application has been really uneven and disappointing. I'd want more clan specific sheets for some of the clans that haven't gotten as much love (like I believe there is only 1 Lasombra specific loresheet and nothing for the Tzimisce?) I'd also love to see more By Night books, especially examining places outside of the USA

I've been picking up most of the Renegade books, yes! I like V5, despite its rough start, and Renegade have chosen a middle path between the density of OPP and the aesthetic of the old ParaWW team. They're very game focused books, which I appreciate, not being an enthusiast of "lore for lore's sake" (even typing the word makes my stomach turn over).

It's nice to have a turn away from splatbooks and into transformative supplements. IF you want a dark romantic story, THEN add Blood Stained Love. IF you want overt sectarian conflict in an action thriller, THEN add Gehenna War. It's more useful as an approach than piling more into the core.

I do think they're less substantial than they could be. Blood Stained Love didn't do enough groundwork on establishing the legitimacy of romance stories and, as a result, a lot of the groggier players I know dismissed it as "not for a serious chronicle." Blood Sigils felt like a breathless gush, a glut of new powers with a context sort of folded around it. I know @friends-of-beetlejuice is way more into Alchemy than I am and found a lot of the new background on that very brain chewy, and I took more of an interest when the koldun bug got to me. They feel like what they are: optional extras for people who want more or one specific thing, not must haves to complete the One True "Canon" World of Darkness (there it goes again, bad tum! bad!)

I'm quite interested in Gehenna War, that's a chance to revisit the 1990s vibe. I'm not as interested in Crimson Gutter for myself, but I think it's exactly what the game needs right now: premade, metaplot light material to get new players and STs up and running.

As for future releases, someone badly needs to give the Tzimisce the same treatment the Hecata got: collate the ideas, work them over, rationalise the concept and build some out into Loresheets. Vicissitude is too long and fussy as a power, it needs tearing down and a lighter touch taking. A European City By Night book with a long Tzimisce chapter or two would be perfect as a vehicle for that. I'd rather see Onyx Path do it – I've ragged on Dawkins as a developer, but this is the kind of thing he was born to do, and the substance-over-style approach is what's needed here.

Generally I don't rate the By Nights – too many of them are metaplot vectors that don't care to make space for play – but the slower, colder, older, conflicts of the settled and less gun-happy European Kindred need a showcase, and another Chicago-tier book would do it.

ARE VOIDS ACTUALLY EMPTY??

Blog#285

Wednesday, April 5th, 2023

Welcome back,

This simulated view of the large-scale structure of the universe shows the vast cosmic web of galaxies, as well as the dark, empty expanses of the cosmic voids in between.

At the very largest scales — zooming out from solar systems, stellar clusters and even galaxies — a surprising pattern emerges in nature. When you zoom out far enough that entire galaxies (each one home to hundreds of billions of stars) are just single dots of light, you'll find … a web.

Long, thin ropes of galaxies millions of light-years long. Dense, compact, massive knots of thousands of galaxies — the clusters. Broad, thick walls and sheets of even more galaxies.

The cosmic web is the largest pattern found in nature. It completely fills the universe. It's an immense, vast, almost overbearing structure, yet it appears as fragile and delicate as strands of pure silk.

And sitting among the latticeworks of the web, between the walls and knots and filaments, are the great cosmic voids. Stretching anywhere from 20 million to hundreds of millions of light-years across, these are the true deserts of the cosmos, almost entirely devoid of matter. By sheer volume, most of our universe is simply … nothing.

And when it comes to understanding the universe, "nothing" is very powerful.

Spinning a cosmic web

As vast, complex and terrifying as the cosmic web is, it has surprisingly humble origins and a pretty boring life story.

A long time ago (around 13.8 billion years before now), there was no comic web. There were no galaxies and no stars. There were just the fundamental components of the universe: dark matter, hydrogen, helium and a little sprinkling of lithium just for flavor. All this stuff was as homogenous as the milk you buy at the grocery store: pretty much evenly spread throughout the universe.

But there were tiny differences here and there. Some spots had more density. Some spots had less. And the denser spots had slightly more gravitational attraction than the less dense spots. So those heavier spots would pull on their neighbors, grow larger and develop even stronger gravity — and the process would continue.

Achingly slowly, over the course of hundreds of millions of years, the rich got richer and the poor got poorer. Matter flowed into the dense pockets, where it eventually coalesced into the first stars, galaxies and clusters.

That matter had to come from somewhere, so as the cosmic web grew and evolved, the voids emptied out.

Of course, the voids are not entirely empty. There are some dim, scattered dwarf galaxies floating around inside these mostly empty areas. And dark matter and some hydrogen managed to cling to life inside those empty, parched stretches. But by and large, the voids really are void. And because of this voidiness, ironically, the voids are filled with one thing: dark energy.

This is the name we give to the accelerated expansion of the universe, as well as for whatever's causing it. We don't really know what dark energy is, but our best current guess is that it has something to do with the vacuum of space-time itself; where there's vacuum, there's dark energy. So, technically, there's dark energy in the room you're in right now, hanging out in all the little pockets of vacuum between and within atoms.

But dark energy isn't very strong, so it's easily masked by the presence of pretty much anything else — matter, radiation, dirty socks in the corner, you name it.

You don't get to experience dark energy, because your environment is too full of stuff. But the voids? They're empty. There's nothing there to compete with dark energy, which means these areas are exactly where dark energy gets to play its game.

The accelerated expansion of our universe happens in the voids themselves, and these voids literally push on their surroundings, driving apart the galaxies and dissolving the great cosmic web that took billions of years to construct.

"WHAT IS THE BIG FREEZE??"

[harlronica]

Pleiadian Starseeds

Starseed's are advanced hybrid human beings that originate as a celestial light source of consciousness from star systems outside of our solar sun, representing the expansional extraterrestrial hosted platforms of their consciousness, and capacities to hold greater missions on Earth not defined by human limitations.

It's important to note that you can tune into any Starseed origin. If you relate more to an origin that's not in your chart you can still hone the energy of this origin. The origins found in your chart are related to your upmost spiritual mission in this incarnation and depending on where they are located that origin will be your most supreme mission and guiding light force within the particular sign/house/planet.

Pleiades is made up of seven hot b-type stars. Very luminous, blue-open star clusters with beautiful reflection nebula's. This origin is influenced by the love and unity of The Virgin Companions of Artemis: The Seven Sisters, The Seven Doves, The Seven Cows, and The Seven Hathor's in Egyptian Mythology.

*The Mission of The Pleiadians*

A Pleiadean alignment in your natal chart would represent the compassionate divine union of the spirit within your being as your primary mythology to the planet. Your mission being deeply committed to being the spiritual healers of Earth.

Many indigo children incarnated from Pleiades. Specifically those born during 1998 to 2008; belonging to the Omega Generation. This is the last "pure" indigo generation. These people are hybrids of indigo/crystal children and are referred to as "the flame throwers" - mainly incarnating under fire signs: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius. This generation seeks justice and oneness for all; upset with how the previous generations left the world.

Mostly represented under the zodiac sign Leo. Leo is the zodiac represented by Archangel Michael; although it is Aries/Taurus that runs along the Pleiades degrees, and Aldebaran/The Blue Rays/The Family of Michael run along the Taurus degrees. This energy is still honed through the zodiac sign Leo alone. Being the utmost representation of The Family of Michael. Pleiadeans also use The Lion's Gate Portal to incarnate. The true dates of this portal range anywhere from late Cancer to early Leo degrees. This is why many true Pleiadean origins have a cluster chart of Cancer/Leo, but there is usually a direct Pleiadean alignment through Aries/Taurus elsewhere in the natal chart. This doesn't have to be the case. You can be of true Pleiadean origin just through the Aries/Taurus degree markers with no Cancer/Leo placements present.

Through your Pleiadian origin you will experience a profound ascended state of the 5th dimension; bringing forth revelations of purification with the power to burn, the ability to transform, and the power to sustain life. These are the stars of fire, the stars of spirit, the stars of creation.

The most empathic and compassionate Starseed origin. Drawn to humanitarian efforts, nurturing, healing, spiritual guidance, and assisting other souls in their ascension process.

Powerful energy workers, highly psychic, intuitive, and sensitive. This origin is that of the spirit guides that assist with the spiritual evolution on the planet the most.

Pleiadians rule the heart chakra and are the ones that are the most concerned with unconditional love and unity.

This origin is the most affected by the astrological transitions of the moon; along with Sirius and Hydra origins. These origins fully embody the energy of the moon and are constantly in tune with her.

Most Pleiadian's are incarnating from the stargate Alcyone - the heart of Pleiades that holds the 4th/6th density/dimensional future parallel prototype of our Earth called Tara.

Those who have this origin alignment in their natal chart hold the gateway to the higher harmonic universe of our planetary existence and history of its evolution.

The Pleiadian's are a council within the Guardian Alliance that represent specific grid points on the planet that activate within its celestial alignment.

Pleiadian's were the most influential in the 2nd seeding of Lemuria. Many of this origin are deeply connected to Lyra. Even if a Lyra origin alignment is not present in the natal chart.

Many cultures and Galactic Civilizations believe that Pleiades is the true birthplace of the souls of the star people.

Pleiadians hold a profound connection to Archangel Michael and many will feel as if they are direct descendants and part of The Family of Michael (Aldebaran/The Blue Rays) even if there is no direct alignment with Aldebaran in the natal chart. This energy can be honed through Pleiadian origins alone.

Those with a direct/fixed Pleiadian origin alignment will have Aries and/or Taurus placements in their chart. Aries carrying the spiritual warrior energy of Pleiades and Taurus carrying the energy of unconditional love and unity.

Indigo children incarnated from Pleiades are usually born under fire signs: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius (as mentioned above.) With the majority being born under Cancer/Leo suns as they use The Lions Gate portal to incarnate. High degrees of Aries will be of Pleiadian origin, Leo origins are aligned to the Regulus Starseed origin (The Family of Archangel Raphael.) Sagittarius is linked to Shaula, Lyra, and The Sagittarius A Incarnates which make up the Lyran council.

You will receive a full detailed description of where each origin is aligned in both you and your counterpart's chart; along with a detailed description of the meaning behind each origin and what it means for the both of you. For this reading it is required that you provide you and your counterpart's exact time, date of birth, and location. I will use this information and provide you with your alignments based on both you and your counterpart's Sidereal/Vedic and Western/Tropical Astrology charts.

Planetary Degree and House Starseed Origin Reading: for $27 you will receive a list of each Starseed origin that is found in your astrological chart along with a detailed description of the meaning behind each origin. This reading will tell you what Starseed origin your planets are connected to through house/degree placements. (Ex: having Mars in Cancer to the 29 degree means that your Mars is in alignment with Hydra. Having Mars in Cancer to the 29 degree while also having Mars in 12th house means that Mars is now overlapping the Andromeda Starseed origin as the Andromeda Galaxy is connected to the 12th house and runs along 29 degree Aquarius before moving into Pisces. Meaning that since Mars is positioned in the 12th house while also being in 29 degree Cancer, Mars is in alignment with both Hydra and Andromeda.) For this reading it is also required that you provide your exact time, date of birth, and location. I will use this information and provide you with your alignments based on your Western/Tropical astrological chart unless the reader requests otherwise.

Full Starseed Origin Chart Reading: for $47 this is a combination of the Planetary Origin Reading, and the Planetary Degree/House Reading. All information listed above for both readings will be included in this one. This reading does not include the Twin Flame Starseed Origin Reading. For this reading it is also required that you provide your exact time, date of birth, and location. I will use this information and provide you with your alignments based on both your Sidereal/Vedic and Western/Tropical Astrology charts.

Thursday, April 13, 2023 – 10:52 p.m.

Tonight we would like to show you what it’s like to live with peace in your HEART at long last. You have arrived. Settle into that. We are here to show you another way of being; one in which all will truly be set free at last.

You have come here at this time to be a beacon upon the world. Your light added unto this place multiplies ever outward in a brilliant display. Think not that you are here by accident. You have come here to spread your unique light upon the world.

We have come here to show you how to do this and to simply remind you that this is what you are already accomplishing. As the vibrations of the planet rise so does your gratitude for being here at this time in her story.

She is unleashing a wave of light across this marvelous plane of existence. You are that wave. You have come here at this time to remember and re-member with your brothers and sisters of the light. You have begun a most auspicious journey and you have succeeded in bringing the required amount of light unto this place.

Settle into that feeling of oneness, that feeling of peace and wholeness. Let it wash through you just as you have washed this planet clean with your light. The deconstruction of the old world is nearing completion and upon this empty structure we have built a Bridge of Light. You may pass freely upon this bridge now for you are one of the construction workers. You have helped bring this structure about. You may travel freely into the 5th dimension now.

You have made the final leap in consciousness and are no longer concerned with how the 3rd dimensional reality crumbles at your feet. You simply sweep it away for soon it will be time for the others to cross over this bridge.

You have done good work and we are pleased to be able to communicate to you at this time for you have let us in. We have begun this journey so long ago; long before you and I can collectively remember. You have free will and have chosen to let us in at long last.

Now is the time for us to co-create together. You have entered this New Energy and are integrating the light within you nicely. It isn’t always pleasant at times and we know how intense it can be. The headaches, the ringing in your ears, the pressure in your head is not without purpose.

It can be very difficult for a being with such density to take on this New Energy and we are aware of this. This is why we are bringing it in as slowly or as quickly as you can handle. You are doing fine. You are integrating this light and learning how to use it to light up the world.

Already so many of you have changed into your true form. You have been healed of the toxicity of yesteryear. You have grown wise to the traps that are placed within the matrix you reside in. Already so many of you are in the matrix but not of the matrix.

You have broken free of the mental slavery that you have been under. The yoke has fallen at your feet and you walk a New Path today. You are a leader in this New Movement of Energy. You are simply guiding people unto The Bridge of Light.

It is their responsibility and decision as to whether they cross over or stay within the chrysalis. They have made their decisions before based on fear just as you have but today many are making a New Decision. They are walking a New Path and are joining you as you bridge the gap of realities.

You have come here to view the matrix for what it is and shine your light so bright that the entire program is being re-written. We are headed back to the Source Code from which this all began. We are re-writing history and removing the corrupt files from the System.

Time to play a New Game on a level playing field. What would you like to create in this New Energy? It is here and waiting for you. Give it a try. You may find that your movement is much easier and lighter when guided by Spirit.

Turn the sail and let the winds of Spirit flow on to happy destiny. You have come so far and greater places will you go. You have come here at this time for the Grand Finale and you won’t be disappointed. You have become a beacon of light and are shining the light of truth across this plane of existence.

Thank you for all you do and continue to bring forth. Enjoy this beautiful energy structure you have helped to create. It’s time to go out and play once again with peace and love in your hearts. Thank you for bringing your unique light unto this place. Without you we would never have been able to accomplish this monumental task.

Time to breathe a sigh of relief and let the peace of mother earth envelop you. She is welcoming you home at long last. As you merge into oneness you hear her whisper, “Shall we play a New Game?”

What are Dimensions, which one are we in; human evolution, and its relationship with Astrology and Higher Octave 🌌🤍✨

Dimensions are separations generated by the immense differences in frequency that things and people vibrate.

Have you heard of energy and how, depending on the place and the person, as well as our thoughts and emotions, everything changes? That's how it is with Dimensions.

Dimensions do not necessarily represent physical locations, although they often symbolize a difference from the place where we are

(for example, right now we are on Earth, a planet that necessarily exists in the 3rd dimension, but despite this, some people on this 3D planet are already beginning to vibrate at a frequency of the 5th dimension and beyond).

With that said, we can understand that you are not the dimension you are in, but the frequency you vibrate.

As frequency changes, we often need to take care of it so as not to get lost and even reduce or remain in a lower dimension, which is not beneficial to us or those around us. Below is a brief understanding of what the dimensions are:

The first dimension

is the dimension of the "hardest" matter, but not in the sense of inferiority or density, because in this dimension we have important components that constitute food for life, in addition to "artifacts" of very high vibration (like crystals). In this dimension, we have minerals, rocks, and crystals. These things also coexist in the third dimension, in part, and their energetic matrix is ​​of the first dimension.

The second dimension

is the dimension of plants. Other living beings are incredibly energy amplifiers and often capable of cleansing through the process of attracting energies from other beings and environments. They are sensitive but also strong with elevated frequency and vibration. Plants also coexist with the third dimension, in part, but their energetic matrix is ​​of the 2nd dimension.

The third dimension

is the dimension of matter, where we have physical and earthly experiences. Because it is a dimension where experiences occur, it is a dimension with a frequency largely determined by the average beings who coexist there. Earth is a planet of the 3rd dimension, and its frequency changes according to the actions of its inhabitants, who are human beings, that is, us, for the most part, in addition to animals. Thus, what often determines the frequency of our beloved Mother Earth is humanity. The third dimension is characterized by vibrating much in lower patterns, because it deals with the initial learning experiences of the individual (it does not mean it's about the first incarnations, but rather initial learnings that the Being has not yet been taken by). Due to the strong characteristic of the Ego that ends up prevailing over other points that would matter more, the 3D is a dimension that ends up navigating much more in difficult patterns than in elevated ones.

The fourth dimension

is the dimension of the astral world. Think of a vast corner where there is room for everything you can imagine happening. It is where many beings who pass away live/stay, and it is a place where we see emotions, memories, records of traumas, fears, and also positive emotions and beneficial emotional experiences, where they are kept, recorded. It is where our spirit lives.

Paty, why are you saying that our spirit is there?

I'm saying this because there is a certain sense of separation between the physical body and the spirit (that's why when many project astral, it's as if they literally leave the physical and only transit in the astral world).

However, the separation only exists for some reasons that in the 3D we have a lot of difficulty in integrating the experiences of our spirit (Soul) with ease and, therefore, it could be very difficult to deal with the awareness that our Soul has with the immense tendency of low frequency that a 3D tends to have. In the end, everything is integrated, and the separation occurred because we became the "oil" and that's why the water (spirit) needed to be in a more separate dimension, waiting for our (re)connection, especially when we had cleaned the density of our oil, so that it could come into free contact with the water and unify with it, as it always has been and as it should be. Just an analogy for you to better understand.

Fifth dimension:

is the dimension of consciousness, where there is no separation but integration between what the Being is and what needs to improve. It is the dimension of the search for evolution. It is the dimension of the awareness that everything material is transitory and that eternity resides in the Soul, with its eternal free will to choose how to evolve.

It is the dimension that many beings incarnated here on Earth are already vibrating, even if they are not actually there, they already vibrate at this frequency and therefore remain many moments, they are already being contacted by beings of 5th dimensional frequencies and others higher exactly to serve as a channel for the transmission of knowledge to support others who have not yet found themselves and who are on paths of pain.

It is in this dimension that we detach ourselves from imposed patterns, limiting beliefs, we begin to see that each individual has tendencies of body, emotions and thoughts that reflect exactly his Soul and his desires and current patterns, that each person has an appearance according to their own desires and history of Soul, we value individuality and collectivity.

In this dimension, the Ego begins to be dissolved to make room for a sense that we do not need to compete, because there can be room for everyone if we release unnecessary excess and attachment, which, as we have already said, are based on things that are totally transient but when removed to the point of generating situations where people have nothing and others have much, bring deep suffering, anger, resentments, and marks that reflect for lives and lives. The fifth dimension is the dimension of consciousness expansion.

Sixth dimension:

A much deeper dimension, which is so subtle that things there occur through colors, tones, languages of Light where nothing physical is necessary to feel the manifestations of things. It is the dimension of consciousness that has full control of itself and needs nothing more than its own notion of its depth and wholeness. Some beings, even if they are in the 3D, travel to the 6D when they sleep because their consciousness already vibrates in this energy! Even if they oscillate in this vibration (since vibrating more negatively is not the person's standard, of course), if they vibrate in 6D, they can visit this dimension when they sleep.

Seventh dimension:

is the dimension of pure creativity, of the Power to Create that exists in every individual. It is the plane where the individual still lives and perceives himself as one, does not see himself separated from the other in a pejorative way but is indeed a single consciousness, individualized. However, this is the last dimension where this occurs. Because in others, the Being who reaches them will understand things from the lens that we are literally all One, living in this Unity.

Eighth dimension:

is the dimension of group consciousness. everything is done as a group. the spirit deals with group situations and seeks ascension and evolution of the Whole, its focus in this dimension is exactly this.

Ninth dimension:

It is the place where the consciousness of everything gathers, from the consciousness of planets to galaxies (Yes, all of this has consciousness. Earth, called Gaia or Mother Earth, is a living organism and has consciousness. It is so deep, wide, and vital, has its own language, and is managed by beings of high dimensions, like the ninth above it).

In this dimension, a person feels so expansive that they literally encompass everything around them. It's as if in this dimension, you are the mind of a galaxy, containing all forms of life and celestial bodies. The next dimensions, namely the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth dimensions, represent stages of Creation, let's see:

Tenth dimension:

In the 10th dimension, we find the source of Cosmic Rays (often associated with the Masters of the White Brotherhood), where new plans of creation are conceived and then sent to the next stages. Although we can maintain a sense of "self" at this level, it is different from what we are accustomed to in the third dimension. The 11th dimension holds a deep energy of Expectation, Optimism, and Hope, like the moment before creation, full of anticipation. To understand the energy that permeates this dimension, think of the moment before a sneeze or an orgasm (just an example, not implying that these events lead us to this dimension). The 11th dimension is associated with beings like Metatron and other Archangels. There are Akashic records in this system, ranging from planetary to galactic Akashic records.

Twelfth dimension:

It represents the point where all consciousness perceives itself as a part of everything that exists, without any separation. If we can access this level, we would feel completely united with the universe and the creative force behind it. This encounter profoundly transforms our perception, as once we experience this perfect unity, it's difficult to maintain the same level of separation we had before.

From all this, we can perceive that the dimensions from the 3rd to the 12th represent, ultimately, the levels of evolution we can reach and need to achieve.

Ultimately, Unity and the sense that We Are All One is the purpose, the focus, the goal, and the very means to solve all the issues we currently face in this earthly experience…

All the competitiveness, the endless and unattainable pursuit to "prove" something to others, whether through material goods, money, body, appearance, status, or through social media wanting to propagate ideas like "I'm happier than you, envy me," even though everything we do is far from what true happiness is…

The goal of EVERY Soul is to evolve and, from that, become aware that there is no superiority or inferiority, but rather unity in the pursuit of the common good. This is something quite difficult for the human mind currently living on Earth to integrate easily, but it is indeed possible, and many are beginning to understand this!

If we pause to look at this from an astrological perspective, all of this reflects the Age of Aquarius and the advent of a greater interest in Higher Octave matters, purposes beyond the individual.

The discovery of Higher Octave planets such as Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto, and their perfect resonance with our personality,

is a way for the Cosmos, the Universe, to help us begin to integrate the importance of evolving from the individual to the collective, yet continuing to evolve!

It's important to remember that discussing the Age of Aquarius does not make natives of the Aquarius sign superior to other beings of different solar signs, nor does it make them necessarily special because it's the Age of Aquarius.

Any personal distinction in the collective journey of the Aquarian Age will come from the actions and choices of the individual, not from being of a certain sign.

The Ages represent the purest qualities of the signs.

People will subvert and manifest, as we see here and there, both the good and bad characteristics of the signs. All with their free will.

Therefore, there is no superiority due to being in the Age of Aquarius, just as there was none in the Age of Pisces, Aries, or any other sign.

What army do you think is the most overrated in history?

As with all questions about "overrated" and "underrated," the question is, who is doing the rating? Being "overrated" or "underrated" means evaluating someone's judgment, while being "bad" or "good" means evaluating performance. The latter is far easier to evaluate.

Take for example, the Mongols. The Mongols were an exceptionally good army, one of the best in history for a whole host of reasons including their highly exceptional C2 system. But in "The Death that Saved Europe," Cecelia Holland argues that Ogedai Khan's unlikely death was the only thing stopping the Mongols from conquering all of Europe to the Atlantic Ocean, and this just doesn't stand up to scrutiny when evaluating their performance in Hungary and Poland. The Mongols struggled with European stone-walled castles, and moving further into Western Europe would only see the castle density increase. They're still incredibly good, but that's a clear case of overrating.

Or by contrast, take the Red Army in the Winter War. By all conventional metrics, the Red Army was absolutely abysmal in performance - poor tactics, poor leadership, poor equipment. Yet Adolf Hitler thought that they were so garbage that all he would need is a swift kick in the door for the rotten foundation of the Soviet Union to collapse like old scaffolding, and it very clearly did not. Clearly, that was a case of underrating the army. By contrast, modern non-military historians frequently overrate the performance of the Red Army in the Second World War to the point of parody, omitting the exceptionally high levels of unnecessary casualties stemming from poor military performance.

But if I had to pick, I'd either pick the Iraqi Army of Saddam Hussein or the current Russian military, which has largely inherited its weakness from the Red Army.

The Iraqi Army of Saddam Hussein was considered the 5th strongest army in the world, with a formidable array of tanks, aircraft, and missile defense systems. Using primarily Soviet equipment, it was believed to be by far the most powerful regional hegemon in the region despite it's rather lackluster performance against Iran during the Iran-Iraq War. In practice, the officer corps was extremely nepotistic and poorly-trained. The T-72 was shown to be an underperforming tank compared to modern Abrams, the Soviet missile systems proved unable to detect stealth fighters or handle Wild Weasel SEAD missions, and the aircraft were poorly maintained and their pilots even worse. At Medina Ridge and 73 Easting, Saddam's ground forces were poorly organized and sent into complete disarray. Far from being a million strong legion that could enforce its will on the region, it was a hollow, rotten tree trunk about to be struck by lightning.

I've already spoken at length about Russian weakness in the current Russo-Ukrainian War, but it's extremely indicative of systemic weakness when a so-called Great Power army is incapable of performing multi-theater combined arms warfare in the 21st century. This has been a staple of warfare and an overriding design feature of military equipment for decades now. Russia's much-vaunted hypersonic missiles are being intercepted by old Patriot AD systems, turning them into yet another Wunderwaffen. Their technology is not even comparable to last-gen systems and their troops incompetent. For a military that was vaunted as the second-most powerful in the world, its diminished capacity has shown it to be far inferior than numbers would suggest. Its vaunted tank fleet are vulnerable to old anti-tank weapons down to bargain-bin fwoop tubes. Its aircraft can't be stealthy and can't secure airspace even against a vastly inferior airforce. It's sole aircraft carrier is more of a floating environmental disaster whose maintenance log reads like an SCP entry. The T-14 Armata and Su-75 Checkmate are vapor-ware projects established primarily, it seems, to embezzle money for more dachas and yachts. Worst of all, its logistics corps are so deficient that countless Russian soldiers are dying from easily treatable injuries. This was supposed to be the mightiest army in Europe and the military leader of the non-Western world, the lynchpin of the "new multipolar world order," the army that was to defend the Motherland against NATO. It's losing badly to an army that wasn't even ranked in the top 20 by military observers using a combination of legacy Soviet equipment and the stuff that NATO found in the back of the toolshed.

Thanks for the question, Anon.

[toast-star]

so, i'm currently rereading can't fear your own world, and it's really interesting going back and picking up on stuff i missed the first time. one line really jumped out at me, when shinji first encounters hikone

now, what does this mean? are reiraku... not visible in the soul society? some thoughts under the cut

first of all, let’s clarify some terms, because with all my bleach knowledge, i wasn’t familiar with the term ‘reiraku’. the reason for this is because ‘reiraku’ means spirit threads/coils, otherwise known as spirit ribbons, otherwise known as ‘that thing they do like one time and never mention it again’. so we don’t know much about this technique or how it works. i whipped out my physical copy of volume 5 to check, and…

yeah, that’s it. not much to go on. my interpretation of this is that when a reiatsu is dense enough, it can become visible. or, when a practitioner such as a skilled shinigami or uryuu himself can ‘force’ reiatsu to cluster together tighter, therefore making it perceptible in this way. again, not much to go on here, but it feeds into some bigger thoughts i’ve been having about reiatsu visibility.

(kenpachi and yachiru kindly demonstrating visible reiatsu)

my current theory is that reiraku aren’t exactly invisible in the soul society, but it's definitely harder to see, and even harder to touch. i mean, it would be a problem if just anyone could go around yanking on any spirit ribbon they liked. uryu does mention that a shinigami has to be 'skilled' to touch it. i wonder how skilled we're talking? seated officer, lieutenant, captain level? can he do it easier because he's a quincy?

reiatsu is only visible when a large amount is being released (see kenpachi's awesome skull) or when someone specifically wants it to be. my theory is that for reiatsu become visible, it needs to be denser than the ambient reishi around it. we do know that the soul society has high amounts of ambient reishi, especially compared to the world of the living. in the explanation of gentei kaijo, we’re told that shinigami spiritual pressure is ‘scaled down to match’ the the world of the living, specifically 20% or 1/5th of its usual capacity. so if the living world has about 80% less ambient reishi, it could also mean that the point at which reiatsu becomes visible is about 80% lower. please consult the diagram:

(the numbers i use aren’t Completely accurate, it’s more about tracking the trend. we know living world’s reishi density is about 20% of the soul society’s, but we have no metric for hueco mundo, other than theres More. i just put the value at 100% to compare it to the soul society. i haven't made a graph in like 10 years so forgive me)

so when someone releases a lot of their reiatsu, it scatters into the environment (which is also a good explanation of why characters are often shown having a very bright outline which then dissapates and fades - its diffusion! the particles are being released from their body/skin, so that is where they're densest, as they get further away they become less 'clustered' and spread evenly into the atmosphere)

this would also mean that reiatsu would be harder to see in hueco mundo vs the living world. i wonder if starrk, barragan and halibel’s giant light show came as a bit if a surprise to them, too. what might be a small glow in hueco mundo could be a massive explosion in the living world, since the density of reishi much lower than what they’re used to.

that's a Lot of reiatsu

meanwhile back in hueco mundo, aizen can force grimmjow to his knees, and all we're able to see is a soft glow. this could Just Be An Aizen Thing, but i thought it was worth mentioning!

(i'm aware a lot of this might just be artistic/stylistic choices, but it's more fun to think about this way. just play with me in the sandbox here okay)

anyway, coming back to shinji’s thoughts here, this kind of makes sense considering he’s spent about a century in the world of the living with the other visoreds. he’s only been back in the soul society for less than two years, and he’s probably still adjusting to the higher reishi levels and higher threshold for visible reiatsu and reiraku

reiatsu colours have always been super interesting to me, and we don’t actually know much about how reikaku (spirit sensing) works, but we know from the fullbringer arc that it can work in as ‘sight’ in terms of shape and spatial awareness, but i really wonder what colour signifies? i love picking this stuff apart so there may be more on this subject in the future

well this post got kind of obscenely long and tangential BUT it’s nice to get a few of my thoughts and theories down. theres not a overarching Point here i just like talking about bleach <3

Introducing Samsung 24GB GDDR7 DRAM For AI Computing

24GB GDDR7 DRAM

Future AI Computing: Samsung Launches 24GB GDDR7 DRAM. It sets the standard for graphics DRAM with its industry-leading capacity and performance of over 40Gbps.

First 24-gigabit (Gb) GDDR7 DRAM from memory pioneer Samsung was revealed today. Next-generation applications benefit from it’s speed and capacity. Data centers, AI workstations, graphics cards, gaming consoles, and autonomous driving will employ the 24Gb GDDR7 because to its high capacity and excellent performance.

“By introducing next-generation products that meet the expanding demands of the AI market, it will maintain to leadership position in the graphics DRAM market.” The 5th-generation 10-nanometer (nm)-class DRAM used in the 24Gb GDDR7 allows for a 50% increase in cell density while keeping the same package size as the previous model.

The industry-leading graphics DRAM performance of 40 gigabits per second (Gbps), a 25% increase over the previous iteration, is achieved in part by the advanced process node and three-level Pulse-Amplitude Modulation (PAM3) signaling. The performance of it may be further improved to 42.5 Gbps, contingent on the environment in which it is used.

Applying technology previously used in mobile devices to graphics DRAM for the first time also improves power efficiency. Power efficiency may be increased by more than 30% by reducing needless power use via the use of techniques like dual VDD design and clock control management.

The 24Gb GDDR7 uses power gating design approaches to reduce current leakage and increase operational stability during high-speed operations.

Major GPU customers will start validating the 24Gb GDDR7 in next-generation AI computing systems this year, with intentions to commercialize the technology early the next year.

GDDR6 vs GDDR7

Compared to the current 24Gbps GDDR6 DRAM, GDDR7 offers a 20% increase in power efficiency and a 1.4-fold increase in performance.

Today, Samsung Electronics, a global leader in cutting-edge semiconductor technology, said that it has finished creating the first Graphics Double Data Rate 7 (GDDR7) DRAM in the market. This year, it will be first placed in important clients’ next-generation systems for validation, propelling the graphics market’s future expansion and solidifying Samsung’s technical leadership in the industry.

Samsung’s 16-gigabit (Gb) GDDR7 DRAM will provide the fastest speed in the industry to date, after the introduction of the first 24Gbps GDDR6 DRAM in 2022. Despite high-speed operations, new developments in integrated circuit (IC) design and packaging provide more stability.

With a boosted speed per pin of up to 32Gbps, Samsung’s GDDR7 reaches a remarkable 1.5 terabytes per second (TBps), which is 1.4 times that of GDDR6’s 1.1 TBps. The improvements are made feasible by the new memory standard’s use of the Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM3) signaling technique rather than the Non Return to Zero (NRZ) from earlier generations. Compared to NRZ, PAM3 enables 50% greater data transmission in a single signaling cycle.

Notably, using power-saving design technologies tailored for high-speed operations, the most recent architecture is 20% more energy efficient than GDDR6. Samsung provides a low-operating voltage option for devices like laptops that are particularly concerned about power consumption.

In addition to optimizing the IC design, the packaging material uses an epoxy molding compound (EMC) with good thermal conductivity to reduce heat production. Compared to GDDR6, these enhancements significantly lower heat resistance by 70%, ensuring reliable product performance even under high-speed operating settings.

GDDR7 Release Date

According to Samsung, commercial manufacturing of their 24GB GDDR7 DRAM is scheduled to begin in early 2024. Although the precise public release date is yet unknown, this year’s certification process with major GPU manufacturers is already under way. With the availability of next-generation GPUs that will support the new memory standard, GDDR7 DRAM is now expected to be readily accessible in the market by 2024.
