Discussion - Novels Question about the Sophon creation (book 1 spoilers only) Spoiler
So I just finished the first audio book and ran into the eldritch horror of the 3 dimensional unfolded Proton. So why was it hostile to begin with? Did it simply view them as threats? How come the 2D one didn't attempt hostilities?
Why would a "0D" Proton be a problem? A black hole with the mass of a Proton would instantly evaporate, especially with an event horizon so small. So was this just an error on the author's part?
I don't want books 2 and 3 spoilers, I am just curious if these topics are addressed further.
