HEART SEEDS: Exploring the Architecture of Unpredictable Hearts

IMAGE: A blue-green-red-yellow heart with a radiant coruscation at the center. 

	Within each chest is a pulsing spark,
	shrinking the corners of the dark.

	Its a hammering engine of hunger and fire,
	a thrumming engine of desire.

	From cooling vents, blue radiance flows,
	as prayers collapse into powdered dreams;
	and hundreds kneel with hollow hands,
	chanting “Like!” in cyber-lands.

	Every ribcage carries digital wounds,
	signals stolen from truth untuned.

	White-hot visions split all veils,
	searing truth as myths grow pale.

	Still the core repeats its clichéd creed:
	"Only this. Believe. Concede."

	"Target reached," Tara breathed, 
	voice cracking, half a ghost, as she aimed 
	another cyber-meme to a nation  
	choking on noise.

	The Heart Sutra-Seed blooms—
	a blacklisted flower,
	with petals of static, roots of 
	dark energy & anti-chaos.


   The air in the coffee shop where Tara and some friends sat was thick with the ozone-scent of a
polluted plasticized sea. Tara cradled her cinnamon-laced artificial cappuccino, eyes locked on
the flickering digital heart before her.

   It was a jagged mosaic with shards of emerald and sapphire swirling with many colors emerging
from its core. She felt a concentrated beam of light hammer against the encryption layers within
the structure, bleaching the air until it turned into clinical white shades.

   "Looks like the repair meme reached its target," Tara whispered, in a voice splintering beneath
the mechanical howl of the ventilation system. She watched the primary defensive firewalls
dissolve into glowing ash as the "Heart Seed" code took deeper root.

   Gwen raised a skeptical brow, her hand resting idly on a drained mocha cup with several
psycho-active ingredients. A projection shimmered across Tara’s hair: cascading data, beautiful
and catastrophic, like a galaxy mid-collapse. "Human hearts are so unpredictable," Gwen said
absently to herself, in a frog-like mutant voice. In a world of surveillance and cold steel, she
knew nothing was more volatile than flickering human emotions.
