The Book

Author's note: During the events of Syntactic Labyrinths the surviving people of the world have gathered in the Settlement of Babylonia. Together they work on their final collective effort, the archiving of all that is us and uploading it to the Library. Remaining artifacts from the outside world are collected by "Treasure Hunters" and brought to Level 2 of the Settlement of Babylonia.

Here each artifact is examined and digitally archived for our collective preservation. Level 2 is made up of an almost infinite number of hexagonal rooms. More rooms are being built continuously to accommodate the quantity of artifacts that arrive for archiving. It is said that in one of these rooms lie the Sacred Texts of the Settlers of Babylonia.

The Book is a collection of verses and stories that hold the key to the belief of the settlers. However, it has not been understood by anyone as of yet. The Sacred Texts do not reveal themselves without understanding its syntax.
