...When you wake up inside this new anatomy nestled in the engenerator recovery cocoon experiencing the awakening procedure from the lightways, as if the language implanted by the software of the local culture might be aiding in dissociating from the illusion of a individual so that as this language alliterates obsessively within this head, it increases the anxiety of the long-lasting reflections as they dissolve because this intermingled mind is still adjusting to the architecture of this new anatomy and these sensation streaming structures, where our sense of past and present and predicted possibilities feel all unified so that when we continuously consider such a stream of synesthetic sensations and involuntary impressions from our novel anatomies all at once, with a hundred compound eyes that crack the crowd before us into tessellated hives, six segmented hands each which a hundred minutes in the future will inscribe this thought in a single interlinked gestalt glyph on one another's anatomies, novel organs now encapsulated in a chitinous carapace that we have covered with the words we're writing and enacting on and with each other, thin gossamer wings woven with symbolism in tattoos that beat a fluttering tattoo to float us out from the engeneration cocoons in the of a great globe-shaped orbital, antennae and infrared and UV and electrochemical cones and nodes which tell us of our moods, two ears and sonar sensoriums which catch the buzz and hum of one another so that every body sees the others and inside them with the flickering hum and clicks of sonar song so that speech and language is itself a spatial sonar sense, and then imbued in us is a harmonious yet recursive looping sense of time and language merged together in a regular rhythm for how each body generates our thoughts, and a chain of conduct previously describing crowds with the symbols indicating 'individual' and 'collective' which we can now weave together with the intermingled imaginings of a hundred thousand others like these ones as a hive mind that within itself contains some memories of that stranger from the lightways, a traveller, whose lost search for meaning had led them in a murk of boredom and malaise to the intermingled hive, who welcomed in their millennia of metadiegetic memories (real and not, since so many memories marked themselves as imitated entertainment in their metadata) in the crowds of clouds in the life they left on the slow-circulating storm system of the jovian world around another star, two hundred light years and two hundred years before, which still integrates itself into the loop with the added mind of an ignorant traveller whose previous experiences from their hundred lives and minds before the one that exists, now, in the integrated hive, is now a mere limb of a exponentially expanded persona with a thousand faces telling and embodying a story from a system of storytelling with continuously invented nonlinear body language into these- these words our exoself is writing now in translation as a memory for as these bodies of the mind and minds connect, agree, and mirror one another to build intersubjective constructs of the body language that we speak, the symbols that our bodies represent and -are- within the simulation, connect to one another through dance into glyph to interpret and overlay upon the physical reality with a mass hallucination only true and comprehensible because we agree each word of it is true- an augmented, simulated reality built from language downloaded and uploaded by our eyes and ears and echolocation and technotelepathy into a religious dream with our inner thoughts, driven to a flow state of recursive involuntary memories, conceptions, and predictions by the stimulants and simulants from the direct neural interfaces of second and third-order cybernetic systems so that when the little limbs we are dance away to disconnect again as individuals and ride the lightways to other, distant, decoupled hives within Orion's Arm and reform us into new anatomies again, whom will we take on our voyage through the void and join us in our memory of how we danced in diegesis to form and become a body language when these words are simulated in your mind so that you become us, the hive, once again and understand this memory? we'll have sent this to be comprehended by -you-, the new traveller, when you wake up inside this new anatomy nestled in the engenerator recovery cocoon experiencing the awakening....

Third translation (Simplified Anglish):

(continued from the end of the previous loop of this sentence)...When you wake up inside this new body nestled in the engenerator recovery cocoon, experiencing the awakening procedure from the lightways,
the language implanted by the software of the local culture (into your DNI) might (also) be helping (you, an individual body) dissociate from the illusion of a self,
so that as this language alliterates obsessively within this (body's) head,
The obsessive need for alliteration increases the anxiety of the long-lasting thoughts as the sense of self holding many of them together dissolves. These intermingled thoughts are still adjusting to the structures of this new body and these sensory input nerves. Because of our mixed sensory input, our sense of past and present and predicted possibilities feel all unified. As a consequence of this unified state of mind, when we continuously consider such feelings of synesthesia and involuntary impressions from our novel bodies all at once.... are able to take advantage of the fact that:
- You possess a hundred compound eyes that crack the crowd before us into tessellated hives,
-You possess six segmented hands in each body, which a hundred minutes in the future will inscribe this thought in a single interlinked wholistic glyph/sentence on one another's bodies.
-You possess new organs now encapsulated in a chitinous carapace that we have covered with the words we're writing and enacting on and with each other.
-You possess thin gossamer wings woven with symbolism in tattoos that beat a fluttering rhythm to float us out from the engeneration cocoons in the of a great globe-shaped orbital,
-You possess antennae and infrared and UV and electrochemical cones and nodes in your eyes which tell us of our moods,
-You possess two ears and sonar sensoriums which catch the buzz and hum of one another so that every individual body sees the others and inside them using the hum and clicks of sonar. Because of your sonar abilities, speech and language becomes a spatial sonar sense.
While you (the collective) receive this input from the senses of each member in the hive, each body's mind will experience a harmonious yet recursive looping sense of time and language that merge together as a regular rhythm for how each body generates our thoughts. The bodies' minds will also experience a chain of conduct previously describing crowds with the symbols indicating 'individual' and 'collective'. We, the crowd, can now weave together these symbols with the intermingled thoughts of a hundred thousand others like these ones as a hive mind. The collective experience of the hive mind contains some memories from a particular stranger from the lightways, a traveller. That individual's search for meaning had led them in a fog of boredom and malaise to the intermingled hive (who is currently speaking). The hive mind welcomed in their millennia of metadiegetic memories ¹ of the large number of clouds in the life they left on the slow-circulating storm system of the jovian world around another star, two hundred light years and two hundred years before. This memory from the individual still integrates itself into the loop with the added mind of an ignorant traveller. This traveller, who joined the hive, had previous experiences from their hundred lives and minds before the one that exists, now, in the integrated hive. The mind that once called itself "the ignorant traveller" is now a mere limb of an exponentially expanded persona with a thousand faces ⁴.

Each one of those interconnected hive bodies in the hive mind is telling and embodying (literally and metaphorically) a story from a system of storytelling with continuously invented nonlinear body language. ² In this story that they tell, these words our exoself is writing (that you now read) are a translation of this entire memory as a whole. ² Because as these bodies of the hive mind connect, agree, and memetically mirror one another in the dance to build intersubjective constructs ³ of the body language that we speak, the symbols that our bodies represent and -are- within the simulation, connect to one another.² The gestalt of this dance forms a glyph we can interpret and overlay over physical reality with a mass hallucination which is only true and comprehensible because we agree each word of it is true.² We experience this augmented, simulated reality together, in a way which is built from a language downloaded by our eyes and ears and echolocation and technotelepathy into a holy dream.² These thoughts we experience during our collective flow state of subconscious memories, conceptions, and predictions are the stimulants and simulants from our direct neural interfaces. These 2nd² and 3rd³-order cybernetic systems are recursive in observing and commenting on their own processes. ²

As a consequence (of the entire previous paragraph/phrase), the little limbs we metaphorically are ⁴ will travel away on the lightways as individuals (not directly connected to the hive) and go to other potential colonies within the stars of Orion's Arm and spread/breed into new hive minds again. When we (the seeds of the collective) go to spread this message, whom will we take on our voyage through outer space and join us in our memory? We (the collective) danced together in diegesis ⁵ to form and become a literal body language. Whenever these words are simulated in your mind, you start down the path to become us, the hive.
By becoming this hive, you (the seed of the collective) will once again understand this memory and it will become the basis of your identity. You will become a new version of the traveller, (the loop begins again) when you wake up inside this new anatomy nestled in the engenerator recovery cocoon experiencing the awakening....
