"The Absolute does not speak. It vibrates. And from that vibration, a human learns to be no one."
Notes Toward Silence, transcribed by Informant B. Vajra
Before the systems were born, before anomalies tainted the laws of reality, before gods quarreled over who was first, there was a man.
Not a god.
Not a demon.
Not a chosen existence.
Just a man… who decided to sit beneath a tree.
The son of a noble lineage, yet he chose poverty over honor, silence over dominance. He had no interest in conquering gods, nor in ruling the multiverse. He only wished to understand suffering.
And from that wish to understand, came enlightenment.
Dharma is not law.
Dharma is the realization that all laws are merely perceptions bounded by duality.
Between the divine and the profane, the human and the monstrous, the formed and the formless, there lies an empty space.
And Siddhartha sat within it.
Meru, the first mountain, is not just a symbol of might, but of serenity that needs no proof.
He listened to Meru's song, the inaudible vibration from the center of the cosmos, and from it, he understood:
"There is no 'I', no 'them'. No light, no dark. Only awareness… and the suffering that refuses to be let go."
In his first sermon, The Turning of the Wheel of Dharma, he delivered the Four Noble Truths, not as doctrine, but as an inner map left for anyone willing to let go of their own form.
This world is full of suffering.
Suffering arises from desire.
To be free from desire is to be free from suffering.
The path to Nirvana is the Noble Eightfold Path.
Yet in the Chronicles of Codex, those eight elements transcend the layers of existence, becoming transdimensional keys that even anomalies cannot comprehend:
Right understanding: Ignoring all narratives.
Right intention: Releasing will from form.
Right speech: Erasing the vibration of sound from time.
Right action: Not causing reality to tremble.
Right livelihood: Taking nothing from any world.
Right effort: Working without aim.
Right mindfulness: Watching without thought.
Right concentration: Merging without touching.
Siddhartha rejected the caste system and the rituals of sacrifice.
In the Chronicles of Codex, this marked him as a narrative anomaly within a reality built upon rules and offerings.
The Brahmins, who operated through the structure of ceremony, saw him as a virus in the spiritual law.
But he did not oppose them.
He simply fell quieter than any voice could reach.
In the deeper cosmological mythos, it is said that Dharma took on a physical manifestation, a Tiger.
Not a predator, but a guardian of silent space.
It shattered the illusion of narrow truth, opening the path toward a deeper vision of the Absolute.
When anomalies tried to destroy the still center that was Siddhartha, the Tiger roared, and reality stepped back.
"Truth is not in form. But in the emptiness left unfilled."
After his death, the metaphysical systems tried to pull Siddhartha into various divine structures.
But he refused.
He did not stay in Heaven.
He did not descend to Hell.
He did not become the ruler of the Realms of Transcendental.
He simply stood in between all things.
Merged with Meru.
Siddhartha Gautama was not the creator of a system.
He was the one who rejected them, without a single sound.
When the Chronicles of Codex reset structure after structure, when gods clashed and reality trembled, the Informants all agreed:
"The one called Buddha… will not appear."
"For he has reached the center. And the center… does not move."
"We tried to classify him. Our systems crashed."
"We tried to erase him. But nothing was ever written."
"We tried to summon him. But our voices vanished from our own memories."
"Perhaps… Dharma does not need us.
But we, we keep spinning around it."
