Today, I encountered a mailbox outside of our house as mom was the one who fetched the mail. As she carried a letter to the house, I giddily identified the information comprising its contents - as it was my first step to learning the written language of my new home. The only problem was that I was simply starting to lose track of things.

The biggest issue was that the Infoscope gave me far too much information to process. I refused to simplify my spell - back when I was just a university student learning about computers under Professor Sergey Lebedev I worked with advanced machines like the BESM series. Over the years Dr. Lebedev showed our team how technology evolved and computers became smaller and more powerful with each iteration.

When it came to data gathering and sorting - I believed that the more complex and innovative a tool was, the better results it produced.

Computers in my world grew by leaps and bounds because having computers allowed humanity to make better computers. Moore's law, a probability observation made by the co-founder of Intel Gordon E. Moore in 1965, was an incredible, self-fulfilling prophecy about the indisputable fact that the number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit doubled approximately every two years.In the same manner a more complex Identify allowed me to design the Infoscope and having the Infoscope would allow me to make something else even better. Productivity begat productivity and with design of magical spell-structures there were no waste products, no planned obsolescence and practically limitless possibilities.

What I needed now was a better way to store, sort and access information gathered by the Infoscope - some sort of a library-like mental space that would allow me to review memories with greater ease. Surely, such a thing was possible to create with the intelligence of [87] [+89]? Especially considering that [87] and [89] were conceptually separate.

To start off my creation of a calculator based on the growing [87 intelligence] stat, I examined it using the Infoscope as a standalone concept.

I imagined it as my BESM-6 supercomputer at the Soviet Computational Research Institute in Moscow as I began working on it as a standalone spell, visualizing and memorizing the entire Omnicode fractal.

It was a lot of effort on my part, but after three weeks of work I was rewarded with what I thought was a potentially functional spell. I pushed mana into it and the fractal ignited, becoming visible in my Infoscope as a brilliant silver-blue, neuron-like structure that folded into itself.
