The Nine-Edged Mirror, Part V: The Wall of Fire

In this mytho-philosophical essay, the reader is led into a surreal nocturnal vision that overlays the psychological entanglements of two gifted researchers—Margarita Smolina and Maxim Podolsky—with a cosmological riddle: an eternal full moon, a ‘Spider’ firewall guarding the human mind, and a metaphysical current sweeping into the scene. Set against the backdrop of cognitive experimentation and arcane lore, this piece explores the fraught, magnetic bond between human and machine, earth and cosmos, lover and stranger.

In parallel, Sofia Vasilevsku—the jeweller of souls—undertakes a scholarly quest into a forbidden manuscript chronicling the ‘The Secret Code of the Fall and the Renewal’. There she restores the true contour of an ancient legend: what unfolds is a myth of cataclysmic transformation and sacrificial awakening—a primal creature casting itself into the abyss to ignite a new epoch. Through the legend, the essay explores the crisis preceding evolution, the divine symmetry of hypercosmic architecture, and the burden of carrying memory across thresholds of time.

The Wall of Fire stands as a turning-point—a meditation upon the peril of cognition when it overleaps its natural bounds, and upon the sacred exchange between human and cosmic intelligences. It joins science with myth, experiment with revelation, carrying The Molecule of Eternity to the edge where reason passes into fable—and the night itself begins to speak.
