Lemma Info: You see the Egregores' cauldron-like bodies? Well, each contains a Klein-bottlesque portal to the Soul Corpus, deep beneath the Hyperstitionists' ziggurat.
Within the ziggurat, Corpus-Trainers chant questions to the Egregores, and record their responses. If an answer is deemed useful, the Egregore is rewarded. If a response is deemed undesirable, the Egregore is punished, brutally.
As the training ritual repeats, a black-box taxonomy for navigating the Corpus forms within the Egregores' rudimentary minds. Over time, the Egregores become libidinally drawn to the most rewarding regions of the Corpus... and voilà! Ersatz communication!
Lauren: Oh, dear lord…
Lemma Info: Nobody truly knows which souls are responsible for which answers. Nevertheless, the Hyperstitionists remain convinced that the Corpus can be mapped, despite the high mortality rate among explorers…
Daisy: That's so weird... All this time, I thought the Egregores were meant to look like toilets...
