Preamble

In the chapter 'Preamble' from Greg Egan's Diaspora, Yatima contemplates the pursuit of the Transmuters across cosmic scales, reflecting on the limitations of traditional historical perspectives that confine individuals and civilizations to isolated, indivisible units. Yatima anticipates the Transmuters' questions about their extended journey beyond known boundaries and recognizes that the motivation lies in exploring both the vast and the minuscule realms beyond conventional understanding.
