She and Her High-Dimensional Cat

On the edge of the rooftop, I met a stray orange cat. It said in luminous words: "You feed me and I remember you." Then it projected Maxwell's equations in front of me. Academic hegemony, mysterious organizations, structural resonance that can destroy buildings... This cat dragged me into a chess game that did not belong to mortals. We build "bridges", fight against "purges", and rebuild our homes among the ruins. Five years later, it told me with its final choice: Home is not the way back, it is here.
