 === Conundrums that Confound the Cosmos ===
+The signal discovered by Patavia was a ripple with Imaginary backgrounds infused, a solitary wave undisrupted by anything. She posits that the source of the wave can be used to build a model that describes the universe's movement trajectory, and in so, solve the fourth Cosmic Conundrum at the Futurological Congress — Is the future of the universe predetermined, or is it chaotic?
+She relentlessly sought answers and finally reached the source, gaining the opportunity to expand her mind through the Scepter, just like the Emperor, even to the point of self-coronation. Yet, plagued by self-doubt, she abandoned the idea of coronation and chose instead to receive a moment of contemplation from the Erudition. She was fortunate enough to glimpse the mindscape of the Erudition, but could not comprehend the knowledge that lay beyond her understanding, managing only to desperately inscribe the fleeting formulas that flashed through her mind.
+Years have gone by, and Patavia has attained a doctoral degree.[(Fixed grammar error.)] The formula she left behind became the famed solitary waves theory. People both praised her for being the one to have posed the question and pitied her for being unable to solve it.\\
+She had asked herself this question over and over already: Would things have ended differently if she had chosen to crown herself? Is the distance between mundanity and genius really insurmountable?

+==== #83 Herta ====
+=== Girl Who Solved the Conundrum ===
+Member #83 of the Genius Society. The real master of the space station who has always hoped to advance the universe's overall knowledge.
+The solitary wave theory that was left behind by Patavia has confounded the Cosmos for almost a hundred Amber Eras and almost shut the entire universe within the Circle of Knowledge. That is, until the day that Herta solved it, elevating herself to the rank of genius.
+As the starting point of Herta's academic achievements, solving the solitary waves theory is her proudest accomplishment.\\
+When searching for the solution, she encountered a constant. When the universe's unstable index exceeds it, the future will veer towards the chaotic unknown. When the unstable index is less than it, the future will fall into an ascertained trajectory, and free will ceases to exist. Yet in this universe, the forces of various Paths constantly press against each other, causing constants to collapse and shift. Whether the future is destined or chaotic remains an unanswered question.
+=== A Dialogue Across Time and Space ===
+In her later years, Patavia lay bedridden when a girl, traversing time and space, arrived to show her the now-proven solution to the solitary wave theory. //"I just wanted you to see this."//
+//"Are you a scholar? Or... Have THEY looked upon you as a genius?"// Please be a scholar... Patavia prays over and over.\\
+//"..."// The girl remains silent for a moment. //"A scholar. Like you, I am a scholar that poses and answers questions."//
+//"Putting aside the changing constant... Youngster, in your opinion, is the future of the universe predetermined, or chaotic?"\\
+"Who knows?"// The young woman's reply is unexpected. //"Perhaps even Nous THEMSELF would like to know the answer to that question."\\
+"I see..."// responds the frail old lady, her voice growing quieter.
+As one star extinguishes, another ignites. The Monarch of Myriad Machines silently watches over all, silently extrapolating day after day, without ever uttering a word.
