Where would you place them? In the Astral Plane? And in what form, thought, or just pure information?

Re: Akashic Records
to some extent:
''In theosophy and anthroposophy, the akashic records (from akasha, the Sanskrit word for 'sky' 'space' or 'aether') are a compendium of mystical knowledge supposedly encoded in a non-physical plane of existence.''
They are also in the Arcana Evolved setting, but that's just the Prime.

Re: Akashic Records
Hmmm. What are they in Arcana Evolved?
It would be interesting if someone could make use of the process by which memory cores arise naturally on the Astral in order to save/download information into manufactured cores.

Re: Akashic Records
In AE the akashic memory is a collective mental storehouse of all thoughts, feelings, and experiences ever held by a living being. It does not include the future and non-living matter.
I've found another version in the Immortal Handbooks, there the akashic records is another name for quintessence, the one element. In this sense it is indistinguishable from the idea of monism. Basically the akashic records are the wellspring of all past, present and future existence. This version's too powerful, seems to include even fate – like the Loom from Dark Roads and Golden Hells.
Something between I think.

Re: Akashic Records
One other possibility is the Plane of Mirrors - inspired by the theory that there's a hologram at the edge of the universe. The kamerel library could work on that principle of stored 2D information.

Hologram at the edge of the universe?

Re: Akashic Records
If I remember correctly, the theory says that the information in our universe does not disappear, but it's recorded on a two-dimensional medium at the ''edge''. It works like a hologram, actually our universe is a 3D projection of that information at the end of creation. You can find far better explanations with a search.

Re: Akashic Records
Interesting. I've heard of "hologram" used as an analogy by Bohm in his implicate order theory, where a piece of the whole contains info about the entire whole.
Heh, that could be the starting point for a faction, or splinter off the Guvners joining up with the Signers -> It's All a dream, dreamt in mathematical thoughts...

Re: Akashic Records
that's what I thought, also some Sensates would search for such a place

Re: Akashic Records
I decided this will be a separate plane called Arcanum, pure information
different than the Astral, Astral is about thought

You may find the idea of the "mathematical universe" of interest:

Re: Akashic Records
I think that would be good for the underlying structure of Mechanus

Re: Akashic Records
to find an akashic record, one must follow the thoughts.
the prime, the ethereal, the plane of dreams, and certain outer planes are the most densely impinged locations.
another good location to search for an entry to would be the origin, that garden now located on and besieged by one of the planes of the abyss.
otherwise, the end might be a more accessible place to start, that portal on the top most layer of celestia from which no one who has entered has ever returned.
if we are thinking in more co-existant terms, i would place it off of the ethereal, as that is the path of the dead.
as for form, i would go with solid force fields of light, and would likely borrow from the imaging of the gandalara cycle: wherein the memories of all living form solid bars of light radiating out from a common center, branching off from the bars of the parents finally merging with a shimmering boundary sphere on the periphery that is living time and thought.

Re: Akashic Records
Are you sure for the Ethereal being the path, the Astral has conduits for the dead. Problem is that in ''mythology'' both planes are often considered the same place. I considered the Ethereal, but the Akashic Records sort of appear eternal, in the Ethereal there's a danger of everything dissolving into protomatter.

Re: Akashic Records
well, of course the ethereal... after all that is the first place a dead spirit goes to. and some even remain to become ghosts. once they move far enough away from the prime, then they transition over to the astral, either directly or via the deep ethereal - i've not ever seen a source that was explicit about the exact method; which i consider a serious oversight in the cosmology as written.
Wouldn't those be memory cores?
