The Absolute

The Absolute was a machine created to gather information. The Absolute could travel through time and could possess people, allowing it to observe events from the point of view of humans. The Absolute could not cope with the conflicting views of history provided by different human witnesses of the same event and was driven insane. In response to this, it expeled the conflicting data, creating a second creature which was composed of the personalities of those possessed by the Absolute. (EDA: History 101)
