THE QUANTUM INTELLIGENCER

Society was much diverted by the recent soiree at the Axiom Gallery, where the reclusive Master C—r received an unlikely quartet of protégés from the lesser-known but increasingly influential Houses of Fₙ, Ĉ, Λ, and Γ. The air crackled not with music, but with what one observer termed “a curious resonance of parity checks.” It is said their demonstration—a meticulously woven tensor lattice—exhibited unprecedented coboundary expansion, a phenomenon previously thought achievable only through dyadic unions. We are given to understand that the key to their success lay in the selection of codes over a “sufficiently large field,” a detail that raised more than a few monocles. The Countess of Linear Distance reportedly fainted upon hearing that agreement testability had been *surpassed* by this robust new product form. And yet—whispers persist. Was the demonstration too perfect? Did the quartet, in their zeal, flirt with structures just shy of quantum indecency? One duchess, upon viewing the final expansion diagram, murmured, “It resembles nothing so much as a locally testable heresy.” The Musk Holdings have already dispatched an envoy. A merger, perhaps? Or merely a warning? —Ada H. Pemberley Dispatch from The Prepared E0
