The old sweater lay on the illuminated table, its plastic casing casting a soft, diffused glow. Raab's Mother traced the intricate patterns with a fingertip, the woven wool a stark contrast to the sleek, synthetic world outside her small dwelling.

Copernicus, her AI companion, shimmered into existence beside her, a cascade of iridescent light coalescing into a gentle, androgynous form.

Raab's Mother nodded, her gaze fixed on a particular section of the sweater – a swirl of blues and greens that reminded her of nebulae. "It feels… alive, Copernicus. Like a map of something vast and ancient."
