Here is the first part of Wound. Thanks to the transcription program, it has timestamps so you can jump to a certain paragraph and hear the lunacy for yourself. I've fixed up his insanity as best I can, but please let me know if there are typos or if you can figure out some of the missing words marked with (?).
Many thanks to @wenttobermuda for bringing this artifact of Wernology to my attention.
Many thanks to @wenttobermuda for bringing this artifact of Wernology to my attention.
0:00:01.3 S1: I guess I have to do this again because I didn't record, but I'm gonna read some of the book that I wrote, it's called "Wound". And this is the first notebook. It's something that I've had to borrow from another notebook because it had other stuff in it. This is note book two, it's completely filled. Here's notebok three, it's completely filled. So it's 470 pages long, written in my handwriting, so it could be like 350... I'd be happy if it's 300. I'm not sure how long I'm gonna read this because I read 14 pages of it and didn't record, 'cause I'm an idiot, so... Let me see where it's, uh... I'll just keep reading, it's gonna be controversial at a point... And that's actually kind of a major point in the book, but this whole book is wacky, but in a good way. So this is starting from page one: 'Wound.'
0:01:47.3 S2:Imagine the year 1200 in France. The French army is about to launch a manned mission to Mars using the technology around the 13th century Western Europe. The most advanced technology are the gears, pulleys, and springs, and the clock tower. This is clockpunk medieval France.
0:02:10.8 S1: There's a televised broadcast in the town square of Paris on a horse-powered television to produce electricity 24 hours a day, and in case of emergencies from the royalty, from the King all the way down to the lesser royals in the monarchy.
0:02:24.1 S2: The horse walks around hay on a treadmill. The horse is fed and changed every hour, the Mars launch is scheduled for this afternoon from outside Marseille.
0:02:36.2 S1: The apparatus is a giant spring one mile long when compressed into a tube print (?) down.
0:02:42.9 S2: On the base sits a bullet-shaped projectile occupied by two stellarnauts. The tension in the spring is simply released by unlocking the locking mechanism and sending in the stellarnauts into space with a gunpowder charge in the base of the rocket. The ship to Mars drops to the surface on a parachute, the crew spends the next couple months constructing the settlement and another spring apparatus.
0:03:10.5 S1: Once the apparatus is made, the stellarnauts return home to 13th century France. Luckily, unmanned missions had already sent the supplies to Mars, it's only a matter of assembly. Mars [sic] is the only country in 1200s with the space vehicle.
0:03:30.1 S2: The journey takes four months. The crew survive on dehydrated, salted meats, dehydrated fruits and vegetables, and dried nuts and cheeses. They drink well-preserved wine and flavor their palate with honey on crackers. Their meal plan is repeated on a weekly scale, their meats include dried beef, chicken, and deer, pork, lamb, goat, rabbit and trout. Their meals are dried meat from a leather pouch, vegetables from a leather pouch, crackers, dried cheese with all water removed, honey and a glass wine or two from another pouch. They survive. They exercise on a further level track by lifting, walking, and stretching two hours a day. They're entertained by reading books donated by the monks. They also write and visit with each other They're simply on a bullet headed to Mars. Their mission is to assemble way home to Marseille.
0:04:32.7 S1: The computers are powered by a crank as well as other electrical needs. The ship has to be wound on twice a day at 6:00 AM and 6:00 PM. They go to sleep at 9:00 PM and get up at 5:00 AM. The ship looks a bit like a passenger train car, this is a society that is wound on the regular in order to function, their entire civilization is cranked like a clock tower.
0:04:56.9 S2: Everything with power in it is cranked by hand. Most of Europe and Asia runs on cranking, they have computers and they have internet. Their (?) design is that in the 13th century, the royals are the ultimate voice and people can vote them out of power. Women can own property and as well vote. The healthcare system is largely single payer and universal The main pharmacology is naturopathic. There are treatments for such things as, cancer and simple is using a mortar in pestle that are compared to what we will know in the 2100s and all using organic systems of plant, animal and mineral sources They've seen us about 100 years behind their technology, though being 800 years ago. This is a hand-cranked world with knowledge of earth-like like exo-planets orbiting yellow stars from our own They have a Jim Webb-like telescope, orbiting Venus powered by microwaves from a giant crank. The cranker, who lives with his family on the moon in the city the size of 2020 Seattle in population They're an advanced civilization owing everything to spring loaded mechanization like we're depending on fossil fuels. Most of their time and space over the course of 150 years has been spent on the settling the moon.
0:06:20.5 S2: This is their first mission on Mars. In their world the library at Alexandria was neither ransacked nor burned to the ground The Antikythera mechanism and the Voynich manuscript is the basis of everything, including a book explaining in it the Antikythera mechanism. The translation of the book containing both and more is 'The Book of Everything Useful.' This book is freely available to all and is held in regard in Europe and Asia higher than the Bible, Koran, the Tao te Ching and the Vali cannon (?) combined. These people are basically atheist There is no war and they're the state we will be in in the early 22nd century They're a confederacy of family monarchies that provide health, information, and education to the highest levels with a flat tax on every economic level, Including the kings and queens is 50% with a 80% tax on all business is making a billion of our dollars or more a year. They have no coin or paper money, everything is automated, credits, called 'the terrare' They have smartphones that are wound like a watch in order to work. Like everything, they have a crank. Almost everything is made up of wood, metal, or glass. Plastic does not exist like it does with us. Their smartphones are encased in oak. They do know about the Americas and native tribal people. The only presence Europe has in either North or South America is with growing trees and lumber manufacture. Many indigenous Americans live in Europe and their tribal societies are largely left to what it was...
0:08:07.3 S2: ...And what we knew in the 17th [sic] century era. The Plains Indians still live in tipis and South-west Indian still reside in pueblos. Europe chose to leave the native populations alone, even as Europe reaches from Mars on a hand crank mechanism closely resembling a mile high vertically pointed 357 Magnum. There's talk warp drive functional matter to anti-matter mixing with crank-driven technology to drive to the particle collision rate of regulation. There are a few large Hadron and quantum colliders scattered throughout Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia, all crank-driven and Energy (?) Springs. There was never a need to develop solar cells for power, since cranking works so well and also does not generate pollution. [Lucas really fucks up and this point and keeps going back over what he means. Total gobbledegook.] There aren't any power plants as each building is often cranked, by workers or a shared duty in each building is cranked by workers in a shared duty in the casino as cranking duties are shared task. No power means no business, it's important to keep a building wound, most would like to have the digital readout on clocks and timers and central analogs. There is a street winder, aka a cranker, for municipal services...
0:09:56.8 S2: ...Like lights, and signals, who often works on another job as he or she only cranks every 12 hours.
0:10:07.1 S1: Cranks can be wound to any time, but the Terran, what we typically call earth, standard is to wind it, at least once every 12 hours to be at optimum efficiency. There's always somebody willing to wind up a floor or a room or a device. It is no surprise that a common greeting among people, at least an English-speaking community is "wind or die."
0:10:32.4 S2: No one wants to be seen as someone who doesn't crank or wind. People in the society see non-winders like we look at meth addicts in our world, except more rare. Every electrical thing is equipped with an analog timer and cases that charges running down. Passers by often (?) in the public property, to chip in which lessens is load of the public winder who lives on site at the winding station 12 hours a day, 36 hours a week. Devices can only be wound so far before there is resistance and the objects stops winding. To the outsider, this place with its 13th century architecture or earlier and manners of dress would appear strange and primitive though highly advanced once the holograms or the phones and building began to whip out within a minute. Most of the people in the cities cycle or take public transportation. Cars are about as rare on the road as public nudity in our society, which by the way, is legal here, and common in warmer months. Personal transport tends to fly between the building, leaning, garages, higher end of the air. Everything is of course, wind-up. In English, the lowest rank is baron. A baron might manage the borough of a large city.
0:12:00.6 S2: A large city like Marseille is managed by a marquis. The castle of the marquis is exactly five miles tall. He paid 80% taxes this year because his business made $5 billion a year. This kind of take affords everyone on Terra to go to college free along with the other billionaires, most of whom are royalty. The marquis of Marseille made most of his money in scientific research applications, mainly in preparation of the Mars launch and further input in the market (?) to warp travel, which led to better transport models across the planet, including a mach 3 locomotive to Paris on crank power, and the faster air wagons of self-driving post went wind (?). As already statued, computers are everywhere, keyboards and trains are all holographic. Many in the city attend street parties were lute, hand drum, Shan (?) and harpsichord play fast-paced music, entertain young and old alike. The most common type of relationship are between women and men were 20 years older. Women by and large begin dating when they're 16 and the men are 35. There's lots of friendly conversation and romantic gestures such as hand-holding, kissing on the cheek and brushing of the hair from the forehead. Divorce is rare and marriages average and one child being born to the couple. Most children are only children.
0:13:45.1 S2: A monk in this society performs the wedding. The foremost vocational obligation of monks that of a librarian. The monks take terms of the Sunday service drawing positivity information from the library. All credit is given to the universe or cosmos as the supreme mover and shaker of all things rather than to God or to the devil at all.
0:14:13.9 S1: Prayer is called 'thought', faith is called 'reason', works are called 'giving.' These three together are called the triumvirate of nature The religion is open source to change, it is itself called So-crate, only 10% of the popular follows a religion. So-crate is the most popular choice. Socrates is seen as a martyr beyond any other. So-crate has no one Holy Book. It sources: the entire sum of 13th century knowledge.
0:14:46.3 S2: Almost everyone owns an offline copy of 'The Book of Everything Useful' as it is the basis of the entire wind-up and biological world useful to humans.
0:14:57.4 S1: The book has an entire page dedicated to the recipe for the cure for cancer. 'The Book of Everything Useful' is over 2000 pages long. Each page solves several problems in entirety.
0:15:10.9 S2: The book has a new addition printed every ten years with growth. 'The Book of Everything Useful' is separate from So-crate. The book is more like an encyclopedia that replaces religious texts for 90% of Terra. Most people still hire a monk for marriages and funerals. Both largely take place at home, or in a public meeting hall like a lodge or a park. The most popular time for a wedding is in the summer, on a paddock [sic] where others can watch. The receptions are are kept private like today When a monk is hired for a service, they're usually asked to read from 'The Book of Everything Useful' as a reminder of one good thing about humanity. The onlookers nod and say “hmm, that's very interesting” as a show of respect for human progress. The service then concludes with written vows and the trading and bracelets instead of rings. The bracelet is identical to the one given to the spouse.
0:16:15.7 S1: Bracelet choices are myriad. The culture thrives on metal, glass, and wood, so wedding bracelets involve those raw materials. Precious stones are not valued as much as sentiment.
0:16:31.5 S2: Couples here are much more romantic and talk to each other continuously. They find common ground everywhere. The average age of marriage is 16 for the females and 36 for the males. The school being free, people are more at liberty to follow their dreams. When it comes to mating, men are endlessly attracted to young women and women are magnetically attracted to mature older men.
0:17:03.5 S1: The public dances serve as impetus for pursing love. Friday is a well-regarded day to which there's almost always music playing in the city square for the people, paid for with taxes where people meet and congregate. The only things costing money or food, drink and smoke. The feel is medieval and futuristic
0:17:29.3 S2: The technology is everywhere and quiet due to no internal combustion or humming machines.
So that's the first 15 pages of my book, 'Wound'.
0:01:47.3 S2:Imagine the year 1200 in France. The French army is about to launch a manned mission to Mars using the technology around the 13th century Western Europe. The most advanced technology are the gears, pulleys, and springs, and the clock tower. This is clockpunk medieval France.
