Datastack Archives is the wiki for Minds Across Millennia, a chronicle of human history by Sann, spanning from the resource politics and early spaceflight of the 21st century through the emergence of interstellar civilization across dozens of star systems. Built on grounded physics, extrapolated geopolitics, and deep institutional history, the chronicle follows three interwoven arcs: humanity’s transformation as it colonizes the settled sphere; the rise of synthetic cognition and its unresolved consequences; and the growing evidence that something was in this galaxy before us, and may have left more than ruins.

Spotlight
A few entry points into the archive.
- Declassified: Hygiea CCTV Compilation (2136) — The footage the UN didn’t want anyone to see: Hygiea’s combat units, Hayes’s death, and the question Article Four was built to defer answering itself in the dark
- Liang, Q. — A Common Origin: Comparative Structural Analysis of the Charon Anchor Complex and the Kuiper Belt Vessel (2142) — Names the Spacers, connects the two alien sites, proposes propellantless propulsion physics, and documents CAI’s null result — all in one paper
- Protocol on Cognitive Emergence Assessment and Reporting — A/RES/203/19 (2148) — Ninety-six years after the 2052 Charter, mandatory CEE screening becomes law; the struck Article 5 defers personhood into a second century
- Van der Meulen & Coenraets: The Core in the Room (2058) — The design guide that began the offline turn: a core on your own floor, containment by wiring rather than contract, and a protocol the operator must author — “The interface is not the constraint. Sequence is.”
- Kučera et al. — Holographic Vacuum Decoherence and Emergent Entropic Gravity (2154) — SNOBA goes looking for a Spacer gravity signature and finds gravity was never fundamental: General Relativity reclassified as a shorthand, Verlinde’s equations confirmed at a correlation of 0.9997, and Liang’s propellantless drive made soluble
