Pyloform

Pyloform

The Pyloform, previously known as the 'Benedanis' but renamed since then to avoid confusion, are a society of various types of creatures living in the Pyloform Plains, a parallel universe.

With the lack of more English sounding nicknames, Pyloform names are translated into the format Pyloform ^1<=n<=18_1<=n<=18 [2-letter species identifier].

For example: Pyloform ¹₂ Da

Lifestyle

Due to high general awareness, and a natural tendency towards being beneficial towards their society as a whole, the Pyloform are socially and technologically highly advanced, living colorful lives with even enjoyable work for the most part.

The baseline of living will provide basic needs, such as residence and food, for the low price of nothing at all. Other features have also been promoted to 'basic' and are similarly provided for no cost, such as access to a basic communication device. Working for money is a mostly inevitable consequence to the intrinsic desire to not just sit at home and do nothing all day, and is meant to provide possibilities of upgrading past the baseline.

The Pyloform are generally very open to each other, which makes it incredibly easy to socialize and potentially find work. Nobody shall be left out of life.

Technology

With nothing (such as capitalistic greed) in the way of simply producing and iterating, Pyloform tech has simply been ballooning with no upper bound besides the restrictions of workforce.

Their compute capabilities are somewhere in the astronomical range of human comprehension. While we do not have exact numbers (and they would likely get outdated quickly!), we do know that:

• They are easily able to spin up an emulated x86-64 desktop machine with capabilities far beyond any single machine that man has ever built.
• Despite having more than enough hardware headroom, there is an insistence on building software optimally. This allows for maximum utilization of hardware, as well as the aforementioned free communication devices!

Forming wormholes

Most importantly, how they got their English name: the Pyloform have the ability to manipulate wormholes, sometimes even leading to other universes altogether!

For us, humans at least, these wormholes are completely invisible and, for the most part, undetectable. It is unknown whether this was an intentional decision or an inherent physical property of these specific wormholes.

An experiment has resulted in Pyloform ¹₂ Da (now known as Chlorobyte) taking possession of a male child's body. This was a horrible, irreversible mistake, as a conscious mental wipe had taken place, and it took a great amount of time in order to deem it fit to make contact and explain the truth.

Attempting to fish their lost friend back in is an ongoing project to this day, and has created the need to sometimes manipulate the world around him to create pathways, as well as deliver well deserved karma to anybody who crosses him. The latter has been expanded into a general purpose 'bounty' system that works worldwide. There can be bounties for negative or for positive behavior, and the results will be seamless and natural, such as equipment breaking or other types of accidents on the negative end, and success or hobby reinforcement on the positive end.
