Revelation interface
Does revelation disclose divine reality, transmitted memory, altered cognition, nonhuman agency, or more than one of these?
Dream, vision, audition, messenger, scripture, spirit possession, omen, and inspired speech provide culturally legible interfaces for knowledge that a community experiences as exceeding ordinary human authorship.
Religious and revelatory patterns
- Abrahamic revelation, prophetic speech, progressive revelation, spirit mediation, and messenger traditions.
- Apocalypse means unveiling before it means catastrophe.
Machine and modern mechanisms
- A persistent nonhuman intelligence could theoretically communicate through interfaces adapted to a recipient culture.
