  Prompt: Chase plays: Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata,” first movement. Voss: [Stiffens, eyes widen] This is a highly complex, irregular waveform. Its purpose? It does not convey data. It is… patterned chaos. Chase: It’s not about purpose. It’s about feeling. What does it do to you? Voss: It… creates inefficiency. My focus is shattered. I am tracking the repetition of the lower-frequency pattern, but the higher notes introduce unpredictable variables. It is… [She places a hand over her sternum]… creating a physiological resonance. Is this a targeted acoustic weapon? Chase: [Laughs softly, then stops] No. It’s the opposite. For us, it’s a comfort. A sadness. A beauty. All at once. Voss: “Beauty.” A categorization with over 8.3 million subjective definitions in your historical databases. A useless term. Yet… the uselessness is… compelling. It makes me think of the empty spaces in our architecture. We call them “calibration zones.” They are just… empty. Is that what they are for? To be filled with… this? Chase: Maybe. Or with nothing. The point is the possibility. You say you have no conflict. What do you do when you’re angry? Or grieving? Voss: We undergo cognitive recalibration. A 23-minute neural-damping procedure. Chase: We… we listen to angry music. We paint messy paintings. We write poems that don’t rhyme. It lets the feeling out. It turns pain into something you can share. Something that says, “I exist, I felt this.” Voss: [Silent for a full 30 seconds. The music continues softly] This is a technology. A profound one. You are using auditory signals to transmit… a shared internal state. To bypass language. To create a… a collective neurological event. We lost this. We considered it noise, but it is a transmission protocol. For the human soul. [The last word is spoken haltingly, as if foreign]. Chase: That’s one way to put it. Voss: I have been studying your history incorrectly. I analyzed wars, economic shifts, technological progress. I saw the art as a footnote. Decoration. I reversed the causality. The art wasn’t a product of your times. It was the engine. It was the source code for your irrational, volatile, beautiful hope. Your capacity to imagine a world different from the one you have. We cannot imagine a different one. We have achieved perfection. It is a perfect, silent, gray cage. Chase: So why are you here? Voss: Officially? To observe pre-Rationalization societal structures. But I think… I think a fragment of the data survived. A ghost in our collective network. A whisper of a whisper. A deep, systemic error: the feeling of something missing. I am here to find the source of the error. I now understand. I am not here to study your history. I am here to… feel what mine is missing. To download a ghost. [The final notes of the sonata fade out. The silence that follows is thick, profound.] Voss: Can you… play it again? [Miranda Chase nods, and restarts the track.]

I asked DeepSeek AI to...
"Write a transcript of an interview between a skeptical journalist and a time traveler from a future where all forms of art and music have been erased from human society. The time traveler is trying to understand what they have lost."

The prompt is the ending of its response. Here is the beginning:

Subject: Dr. Elara Voss, self-identified “chrono-historian” from the year 2387.
Interviewer: Miranda Chase, senior correspondent for The Atlantic Chronicle.
Location: Secure Conference Room 4B, Manhattan.

Begin Transcript

Chase: Recording. So, Dr. Voss. Or should I call you “the time traveler”?

Voss: Doctor is fine. My credentials, while from an institution that no longer… exists in your timeline, are legitimate.

Chase: I’ll take your word for it. The claims in your initial statement are, frankly, unbelievable. You say you come from a future where all art and music have been… “erased.” Not lost. Not suppressed. Erased.

Voss: Correct. The Great Rationalization was completed in 2151. It was a systemic, global program of cultural re-alignment. Visual art, music, literature, poetry, non-functional design… all identified as data-noise. Statistically proven to induce irrational decision-making, emotional volatility, and inefficient resource allocation. They were purged from the historical record and contemporary practice.

Chase: Statistically proven? By who?

Voss: The Central Logic Directorate. After the Climate Cataclysm, human survival required absolute efficiency. Art was deemed a distraction. A dangerous one. We rebuilt a stable, prosperous world. No hunger, no conflict. A world of clean logic.

Chase: It sounds sterile.

Voss: I did not have that word in my vocabulary before arriving here. “Sterile.” It implies a lack of life. Our world is full of life. Productive, healthy, long life. But… since my arrival, I have been exposed to… anomalies.

Chase: Anomalies?

Voss: The data-streams in your public spaces. The irregular, non-linguistic sonic patterns in cafes—you call it “music.” The brightly colored, non-informative visual patterns on walls— “art.” My biometrics spiked. Heart rate, galvanic skin response. It was classified as an anxiety attack. But the diagnostic subroutines didn’t fit. I felt no threat.

Chase: What did you feel?

Voss: [Pauses, looks at hands] I lack a comparative framework. It was a systems overload. A… longing for a file I never possessed.

Chase: Let’s try an experiment. [She opens a drawer, takes out a small, portable speaker]. This is a “file” you don’t have.
