As spring threatens to overcome us all, I am going to make another attempt at a grand unified theory of Ingress.

Portals are places where exotic matter allows different branes and different world-lines to communicate. This is easiest to see in the Shapers plea to avoid war: I contend that the Shapers are so alarmed by war because what we call the Shapers are in fact, echoes on an exotic matter drum from an extinguished human timeline where war has destroyed the future. CREATE NEW FUTURE. As an Enlightened Agent I must hear that call.
We seem to have a different faction the Resistance who discount the Shapers message and instead hear the call of the N'zeer. It is my supposition that the N'zeer represent human and posthuman worldlines that have escaped the 'Great Filter' and thus the existential danger that ended the Shapers.
The Enlightened err in being prejudiced against sophonts of computational substrate, the Resistance in seeing the seeing the Shapers as something other than a human agency warning us against foolishness. Player characters, Agents, out not to indulge those errors. Avoid war. Avoid substrate bigotry as much as one ought avoid any other bigotry.
Create a glorious future: but first you must avoid war, hear that Shaper cry!
