So there was something down there, a place, except unspace didn’t work like space and the things in it had no physical existence. What unspace did have was energy, a great deal of energy, and it had structure, which meant information. There was a vast information cluster down there, a configuration of energy, and it was doing something. That was today’s discovery. It wasn’t just a dead ruin, a construction shack left over from when they built the Throughways. The structure of its absence had moving parts. It was like a galaxy coming together, things accreting, spinning, exchanging data.
