As the Stardust Train crossed the Spitzer Cloud, the Symbiotic Network mark on Arui's palm suddenly revealed the spiral patterns of an imaginary number—golden bands of light spinning like the imaginary unit $i$ in Euler's formula, with each spiral corresponding to the superposition frequency of a quantum state, while at the core a shattered Möbius strip materialized. Ice Drip's algorithmic halo burst into an indigo alarm across the star map: "Imaginary number anomaly detected! At a node of the String Net, an 'imaginary civilization' composed of pure imaginary energy exists, and its phase resonance is collapsing into reality noise at a rate of 0.32%." Outside the porthole, the previously invisible String Net suddenly manifested as a boiling current of blue light. Countless imaginary bubbles popped like soap bubbles, and the erupting energy streams instantly transformed the stardust into a quantum superposition state. Arui's Photon Harp String emitted a bizarre tremolo reminiscent of quantum tunneling, and the light particles condensing on the strings split into particle-antiparticle pairs the moment they touched the imaginary turbulence: "They are 'collapsing' the imaginary dimensions—just like forcibly simplifying the polyphonic melody of a symphony into a single tone, and the quantum symbiosis of all civilizations is losing its phase entanglement." Arui touched the mark, and the imaginary spiral patterns suddenly extended tentacles, resonating with the imaginary rift—her c…
