"Your Majesty, after researching with Doctor Manhattan, we discovered that the AllSpark contains part of the underlying operational logic of a universe," Zero said.
"?"
A question mark practically popped over He-El's head. With a single step, he arrived beside Zero and Doctor Manhattan. Not far away, Lucy gave a slight nod in greeting as she continued acting as security, watching over the many Traversal Vortices.
The Traversal Vortices for Chronicle and Jumper had been moved from Lucy's side to Doctor Manhattan and Zero's research area.
He-El had originally asked Zero and Doctor Manhattan to study a universal version of a device for detecting the underlying operational logic of universes. He had no idea why they had started researching the AllSpark instead.
"What happened?" He-El stepped over and looked at Doctor Manhattan and Zero.
After Zero and Doctor Manhattan bowed to He-El, Doctor Manhattan began, "We used the AllSpark as a transmission terminal and were calculating how much energy would be needed to connect to the Chronicle universe and the Jumper universe in order to create, at minimum, the most basic universal device for detecting a universe's underlying operational logic. Unexpectedly, we found that the AllSpark reacted to the new logical algorithm Zero and I created."
In a very short time, Zero and Doctor Manhattan had designed a logical motion algorithm for detecting a universe's operational logic. They had intended to use the AllSpark's data transmission as a relay to test it, but it had directly displayed the arrangement of information inside the AllSpark, revealing numerous reactions associated with universal operational logic.
Of course, a single AllSpark could not possibly contain all the underlying operational logic of an entire universe.
After Zero decoded and transmitted the data, they detected roughly ten percent of a universe's underlying operational logic.
It had
