After the top 0.1 percent become the Ghost Oligarchy through Destructive Scanning, they permanently close continuity-upload access to the rest of the population on grounds including computational monopoly and entropy reduction, while retaining exceptions within the ruling class."

        "The Elysium Sphere in 2082 created only non-destructive personality copies. Over the following decades, those cloud copies undergo Occam Compression and merger, and by 2119 most enter the shared personality pool of Tittytainment. Meanwhile, the lower population retains biological bodies and never receives continuity-upload rights."

        "Beginning in 2119, the lower population connects to Tittytainment on a massive scale, initially through surface life-support pods. Large-scale relocation into mantle chambers does not occur until the 2150s. The system retains these people as protected biological specimens, sources of hardware randomness, sources of emotional and creative data, and legacy populations that the law does not permit to be deleted."
