Concepts and Utilization of Afton Robotics Remnant Signature Hosts
By: Dr. William Chester Afton
(Page 1, Section 4)
"… As outlined in Metaphyiscal Elements Chapter 3, what has been previously identified as the "human soul" is now known to be a product of the Metaelement of Time, 'Anima'(11). These souls or "Animic Signatures" have the unique ability to progress and influence the world around them, with larger signatures allowing for more complex forms of reality manipulation(12). As shown in the Ashley Animic Concentration Test of 1950, Mankind possesses an Animic Signature Approx. 350-500x those of other animals and 900-1200x that of inanimate objects(13). It is therefore theorized that Mankind's intelligence, sentience, and overall mental capacity is a result of its abnormally large Animic Signature. Further supporting the position of Animic Signatures being 'souls' is that human Animic Signatures are shown to fade after death, gradually dissipating by a rate of 15-31 Afts/hour between Stages 1 and 2 of decomposition and stabilizing at those of microbacterial colonies by Stage 3…"

"… This experiment proved that there exists a Reverse-Time equivalent to Anima known as 'Remnant'. Unlike Animic Signatures which encourage the progression of time, Remnant Signatures encourage the reversal of time(17). Whilst in an Animic environment time progresses from Past to Present to Future, a Remnant based environment would theoretically progress from Future to Present to Past. However, due to the overwhelmingly high amount of Anima in our timestream compared to Remnant, Remnant Signatures attempting to move backwards through time are pushed forward by more powerful Animic currents(18). This imbalance between Anima and Remnant within our timestream is what allows for the forward progression of time. What little Remnant makes contact with the Animic current results in spatial anomalies that can manifest as audio/visual hallucinations, abnormal progression of time, and phenomena associated with paranormal activity…"

"… Remnant in high enough concentrations can also manifest within our physical reality. It is described as having a smell similar to rotting flesh(23). The lightest visible concentrations (between 1,000-3,000 Afts) are said to resemble a light purple mist, with higher concentrations becoming increasingly dark(24). High concentrations (Above 50,000 Afts) of Remnant are known to resemble black ink or crude petroleum(25). Concentrations of Remnant above 1,000 Afts in size are known to react violently with physical matter connected to Animic Signatures above the same Aftonic threshold(26). Any living Matter that makes contact with visible Remnant will be violently ripped from the timestream and sent into immaterial space(27). For multicell organisms, the Remnant will only interact with individual cells, damaging the structure of the body and resulting in a condition known as "Remnant Sickness" (28). Stage 1 Remnant Sickness is known to occur after exposure to between 1,000 and 3,000 Afts of Remnant, the only symptom noted is mild coughing spells that dissipate after approx. 12 hours(29). Stage 2 occurs between 3,000 and 10,000 Afts of Remnant, symptoms include "coughing", "respiratory weakness", and in some cases "mild nausea", symptoms tend to clear up between 1-3 weeks following exposure(30). Stage 3 occurs between 10,000 and 60,000 Afts of Remnant and has a range of symptoms including but not limited to "nausea", "vomiting", "bloody urine and excrement", "diarrhea", "violent coughing", "memory loss", "hallucinations", and "abnormal perception of time" (31). On the lower end Stage 3 can be survivable, however the higher end of exposure is almost always lethal…"

"Remnantization occurs when an Animic Signature is converted into a Remnant Signature(36). This process happens when an Animic Signature is both decaying and emitting levels of Kappa, Lambda, and Mu radiation exceeding 1.25 Sv/hour(37). This radiation is correlated with a rapid release of positive charge which the Animic Signature cannot recover due to its decaying state(38). Thus, the positive charge of the Anima will almost entirely dissipate resulting in the creation of a negatively charged Remnant Signature(39). Kappa, Lamba, and Mu radiation are emitted passively as Animic Signatures interact with reality, although standard levels are only between 2.5 and 5.3 mSv/hour(40). Higher levels of emission occur as a result of strong emotion and/or physical exertion, including pain, anger, and distress…"
(Page 3, Section 4)
"… Physically manifested Remnant can only dissipate after exposure to energy equivalent to 50 kW/m2 or above(61). If kept in a controlled environment, a Remnant Signature will never decay(62). Conversion of human Animic Signatures to Remnant Signatures could therefore allow for the functional immortality of the human spirit. It would also allow for the unique benefit of heightened reaction times and faster information processing as the soul will experience time slower due to their Signature acting against time rather than flowing with it…"
(How to Use the A.R.R.S.H)
Step 1: Ensure the Remnant Signature Processor is active and working properly.
Step 2: Ensure the springlocks in the A.R.R.S.H are secure.
Step 3: Insert the subject into the A.R.R.S.H.
Step 4: Turn on the Remnant Signature Processor, you will hear a light whirring sound when it is active.
Step 5: Insert the hand crank into the port on the side of the A.R.R.S.H.
Step 6: Turn the hand crank to release the springlocks and terminate the subject. After the Remnant Signature Processor has detected sufficient levels of Remnantization, it will begin to absorb the Remnant Signature of the deceased subject and fuse it to the A.R.R.S.H. After this process is complete, a light "ding" will be heard.
Step 7: After the process is complete, clean out the insides of the A.R.R.S.H, and send it on its way.
