Chapter One: The Whole
The Continuum had a place in time and space. It existed at a point
(relative to the movement of the galaxy) the members called HomeWorld, the
Central Planet, even though it was not their home, nor was it the center of
the galaxy
Continuum itself was an electromagnetic field of consciousness. It was
pure energy.

Chapter Two: Perception
The Continuum constantly reaffirmed to itself the claim
that it was a unique and singular consciousness, that no other being (if you
could call it one) like itself, existed anywhere in the universe.
Jim knew that this was a lie. The Continuum was a
construct, merely an algorithm, coordinating the thoughts of a trillion beings.

Chapter
Three: The Parts
A trillion beings formed the Continuum, or more. Each persona was a
distinct entity carrying the whole compressed within itself.
As individuals they were utterly free, there were no limits to the
types of experiences they could have, and share. They could live in realms of
pure fantasy, or vicariously through the missions of Observers.

Chapter Four: Personhood
The Continuum promised eternal life to its members, but there is more
to being than having a distinct-identity.
A person must be free, must have autonomy, and purpose.
Having purpose is more than possessing a goal, or desire. It is a
place of tension between what a person wants, and what they want to end.

Chapter Five: Belonging
Among the earliest of all personal struggles is that of belonging.
Belonging has many forms, belonging to a group by free association, or
by the force of compulsion. Then there is metaphysical belonging, belonging
according to the ontology of being, belonging simply because you are, because
you have been, and as such, will always be.

Chapter Six: Freedom
In the Continuum there was no want. There were only desires,
appetites, and cravings for experiences that the members wished to be
fulfilled.
Pain and want were only understood vicariously, or recalled from the distant
past when they were all organic beings.
The Continuum ruled over everything, every known inhabited world, or
so it believed.

Chapter Seven: Control
Of the one trillion persons whose consciousness was housed in the Collective,
the great society that founded the Continuum, the majority never left
HomeWorld. They had abandoned their bodies millions of millennia ago.
The bodily forms that made them unique, giving them a singular
perspective, and defining existence in space-time, were forgotten, ephemeral,
and illusionary.
