← Back to letters29/04/18 To the general surprise of all those who suspected a lack of interest in everything related to science or philosophy (in this regard, the genetic inheritance from the mother was nil) and out of a curious respect for the memory of her intelligent progenitor, she appointed a commission of experts, compelling them under the threat of cruel reprisals, to continue the grandiose and brutal research plan that her mother had begun on a universal scale. It is also very possible that, foreseeing her death, her mother exhorted her daughter in this direction. The acoustic testament that is still preserved at YOAAGAA and attributed to IE 456, may be apocryphal, but it is difficult to accept another hypothesis knowing the intellectual mediocrity of WIE 1 and her youth. At that time, in the year 1368 of the second era, UMMOWOA had already begun to spread his doctrine. During the night, when the slave workers returned from the OYISAA DOAA (a kind of encampment) and after being stripped and checked to prevent copper theft, this young man with a gentle gaze and frail musculature, spoke softly to the hundreds of men who listened to him in silence while chewing the long stalks of EDIEEDI (a very soft aquatic and filamentous plant). His audience was not only composed of members of the humble and uneducated classes. There were technicians, doctors, biologists, philosophers, professors... whom the despotic regime had condemned by degrading them from their positions. This man galvanized all those who listened to him with the purity of his logic, the humility, and objectivity of his words. The 1200 TAAU (paragraphs) he left us have served to guide us spiritually to this day. When his own guards, touched by the sublime doctrine, offered him preferential treatment, despite the risk it entailed for them, he gently refused. He self-identified as WOA, conformed in OEMII (body), and his power of persuasion was such that not a single intellectual who followed him (among them many psychologists of the time) could oppose objections to this identification. Some of his invaluable talks are today preserved in old rolls of DOROO (optico-acoustic tape / see note 4). NOTE 4: There already existed rudimentary techniques for sound recording: a BUUXIIAO (a kind of MICROPHONE membrane) ( (S43-2)) mechanically coupled to a mirror ( (S43-3)) reflected a fine beam of light onto the DOROO tape constructed with a plastic compound of high dielectric rigidity (that is, very insulating, thermally and electrically). The light beam oscillates transversely on the tape (which moves at a uniform speed) according to the acoustic frequency transferred to the reflecting element. Previously, the tape was electrostatically charged using a small generator ( (S43-4)) (the voltage is high although the actual charge is a few IUDIIXAA) (Could be equivalent to microcoulombs). When the IBOZOO (point or "spot" of LIGHT) falls on the surface of the DOROO, an electrostatic discharge effect occurs that you know, currently employing it in XEROGRAPHIC techniques. A device ( (S43-5)) optically fixes the wavy image using pulverulent carbon with a binding additive. ( (S43-6)) is a METHANE heating device that melts the mixture, permanently stabilizing the engraved acoustic function. Thanks to this rudimentary system, which bears a distant resemblance to current photo-optical recording techniques on a "film" of EARTH of the cinematographic type, the entire cultural state of the time has reached us. 158 / 1373
