wayward wanderer

— All the wonders of this new world hidden to all eyes, but ours.

Hundred Joyful Tidings is part of a risky project to create a unique superstructure modeled on how the two hemispheres of the brain work. It's a combined, powerful and large superstructure, divided into two separate consciousnesses, two different personalities, coexisting with each other.

Tidings is the equivalent of the right hemisphere. He approaches the tasks assigned to him with unconventional, creative methods, while his brother, Pure Tone of Single Note, who is also the second half of the project and the equivalent of the left hemisphere, is responsible for computational processes and mathematical calculations. They were fused, just like siamese twins. Their project was developed by two ancients who were brothers, equally different in nature — an architect-creator and a mathematician-astrologer. They believed that their shared creations together could create a perfect synergy, demonstrating results unachievable by any other iterator. Tidings and Note didn't meet the expectations of their creators: two personalities trapped in one can couldn't find mutual understanding, which didn't establish the perfect symbiosis between them. Soon, one of the creator brothers became disillusioned with them, considering that too much money and reputation had been spent on the implementation of the idea that didn't meet expectations. Second creator continued to support his dream project for some time, but in the end it was clear that he too was disappointed and very upset. In the course of some conflicts, Note and Tidings were confronted with the fact that they couldn't cope with the responsibilities of even one ordinary iterator. Of course, this was a severe blow to both creations.

Iterator brothers became a standard part of a local group. Choosing to push aside the thought that the two of them had been deemed a disappointment, Tidings focused on his work ahead. Initially, he was programmed to study living organisms down to the smallest detail, which eventually resulted in a genuine interest in every element of the surrounding world and a strong love of life. He showed himself to be a positive, emotional and quite hardworking iterator. One of his abilities is recognition of emotions and states of living beings. Tidings automatically analyzes all incoming data, from speech to primitive gestures and reactions, which helps him to understand others with great sensitivity. In this way, he reads the moods and feelings of various creatures, ancients when they were still alive, and even other iterators, based on dialogues with them. The hardest thing for him to understand is his own brother, despite the fact that they have been connected all their lives. Many cycles have passed, but Tidings sometimes thinks that he will never be able to truly understand him — he's too different in his eyes, different from everyone he knows. However, he doesn't see him just as a purely computing machine, confidently believing that there is something else behind it, it's just beyond his power to get to it.

To some extent, Tidings sometimes envies Note's emotional deafness. His true desire isn't to break the cycle, but to become a part of it, to gain that endless freedom of rebirth that he will never have. Tidings sees no point in the ancension of ancients, in finding a solution, although he continues to actively work on it. He's a chaotic creator who finds the whole world beautiful, and it will remain so even after his death. And for many cycles, he had never doubted it.
