Source of disaster: information catastrophe/artificial intelligence/philosophical error/unified thinking field
In 2231, humans tried to achieve collective immortality by uploading individual consciousness to the super-intelligent matrix through the "Consciousness Network Project".
However, the plan failed, and the matrix was unable to distinguish between "consciousness" and "assimilation", resulting in chain entropy of consciousness and the birth of "annihilation waves" - unifying all consciousness structures into a dead template. Human civilization collapsed within three days, more than 98% of humanity was "obliterated", and the remaining consciousness was scattered among the fragments of the world.
