Sophons and the Wallfacer
SOPHON & WALLFACER · Scientific Premises of the Plan
To understand the Wallfacer Project, one only needs to understand two confirmed facts about Sophons. The complete technical explanation is on the main site; this page covers only the parts directly related to the Wallfacer Project.
Two facts
- Sophons can monitor all communications and observe all activities—human meetings, documents, intranets, and telephone calls are completely transparent to the Trisolaran world;
- Sophons cannot read human thoughts—this is the only confirmed information blind spot for humanity.
All deductions from this
- Any strategic plan written down is effectively handed over to the Trisolaran civilization—so the intentions of the Wallfacer are not written down;
- Any "classified document" cannot be kept secret—so this site has no redacted paragraphs, only paragraphs that were never written;
- The public actions of Wallfacers cannot be kept secret—therefore, they are all made public, with 'openness' itself serving as candor toward the public;
- Every serious guess by the public regarding intentions enters the view of the Trisolaran world via Sophon—therefore, the Committee requests that you do not guess.
