→Relation to Consciousness: " Now, I could not possibly communicate with you unless I could emulate your mind, and with that mind, I acquire the moralities that govern you" if your were quoting whats its trying to say is that the only way to comunicate with us would be understanding our moralità not literally simulate our minds (as Paracausal brings the minds of Guardians cant be simulated)

Following the discovery of [[Strand]], Osiris hypothesized that the Darkness is associated with thoughts and consciousness, whereas the Light is tied more strongly to the physical universe. The nature of [[Strand]], [[Deepsight]] and [[Nightmares]] all reflect this connection; [[Stasis]] crystals have also been noted to exhibit computational properties, potentially supporting simulation or even cognition within themselves. This may also explain the Darkness' association with the [[Ascendant Realm]], as the latter is a dimension whose nature is heavily influenced by thoughts and beliefs.

In ''Unveiling'', the narrator, who apparently is the Darkness itself, states that the Darkness was the source of our race's consciousness, senses, thoughts and mind. | |||
As an extension of this theme, the Darkness is associated with memory, whereas the Light is associated with forgetting. This is exemplified by [[Deepsight]], which allows one to, among other things, experience memories associated with an object's past. In contrast, when the Light is first bestowed upon an individual via resurrection by a [[Ghost]], they forget all details of their past life. The [[Hidden]] agent [[Sen-Aret]] hypothesizes that the Darkness connects individuals with the past so that they may strategize defenses against threats they have previously encountered, whereas the Light wipes away memories in order to enable forgiveness and the possibility of new beginnings. | As an extension of this theme, the Darkness is associated with memory, whereas the Light is associated with forgetting.
