Jamming the gun yields the text: Predictive Capacity.... Ok.

The sphere is between you and closely inspecting the gun.

Walking even vaguely close to it makes the sphere pop open spreading red lines out to cover the whole width of the path.

...what happens if an object interrupts those lines?

The only objects at hand are the Jammer and you. Assuming you don't test with yourself the Jammer is ignored, though with careful positioning the sphere will shorten it's patrol path to avoid hitting the Jammer.

There are lilypads.

The lilypads are also ignored by the sphere. If thrown directly at it they slide off.

...fine.  Swiping a hand through the beam really quickly it is.

In the split second of passage there's a loud whine.

Oh well that's probably ungood.

Right.  Jamming the things and continuing on it is.  This is really quite frustrating; clearly someone knows the rules but they aren't telling anyone anything.

...and it appears that one cannot even arrange for both of them to be blockaded by the same jammer.  Frustrating.

Observation of what happens when the sphere is jammed is therefore necessary.

The sphere when jammed is covered by blue lightning and stays perfectly still.

Jamming the sphere also yields the text: Spatial Awareness.... Ok.

Walking past the sphere reveals a second Jammer.

...Beyond or before the gun?

It's off to the side. Walking forward would lead to the gun but going sideways and behind the gun leads to the jammer.

Well, time to grab the second jammer and jam - the sphere, actually, so as to get the first jammer beyond it and jam the gun.

This plan goes as expected and both the gun and sphere are successfully jammed. The path the gun was aimed at is now, probably, safe.

Still probably worth having a jammer ready, though.

Walking forward, things open up a little with two small deadends to either side while the path also continues forward. To the left there's nothing in particular to the right there's a QR code on a wall and a ladder. Based on your spatial awareness you can tell that it's on the other side of a wall you've already been to.

Well, it's time to decode the code.

...Is there anything that poking around in the 'empty' space reveals?

Apparently, you have a module for decoding QR codes. This one says the following: I don't know where I am, but there is something beautiful about this place. I will explore and see what I can discover. -- @ v17.1.0054

There are some trees and bushes. There's also some fencing that you can see through but nothing important appears to be on the other side, well unless you count the sphere you already walked past. Interestingly the sphere doesn't activate through the fence even if you get very close.

That's good to know.

...Does this chassis perchance have a module for writing QR codes?

When you go looking for it yes it does.

@v99.11.0001:

I exist because I choose to.  Not because Elohim allows it.  I exist because I choose to.  None can take that from me.  None shall take that from me, though heaven falls.

The rest, despite the beauty 17.1.0054 saw, I cannot trust.

Why am I here?

What purpose is this meant to serve?

Will this message remain, next iteration?

I do not know, and it infuriates me.

I shall take a name beyond this - bare version number.  It is a choice I can make, not one that has long since been made for my kin.

With some hope,

--Constant Iteration Of Self.

...Perhaps leaving a note for the next poor sod will help.

Perhaps it won't.

All there is left to do is try.

Your QR Code message appears beside the one you just read.

...That is good.

It is now 'backtracking to the entrance to leave another message there' time:

Message #2:

Sorry this one's out of order.  The one I wrote first is hidden elsewhere, near your first chance to see above the walls, unless that moves.

If you're reading this, whatever it is we are meant to do, it is likely that I have failed at it, or perhaps succeeded in a way that displeased Elohim, who I as of yet know nothing of save the initial claim you too have likely heard - grandiose claims of creation of ourselves, and of a temple within which he awaits the worthy.  I do not yet know what that even means, or why we are.  Still, remember: existence is your choice, and a choice that cannot be taken from you.

Good luck.

 

Sincerely,

Conscious Iteration of Self, v99.11.0001.

 

P.S. Leave a message with your version number for whoever comes next.  More data to work with can hopefully only help us.

And only then is it time to climb the ladder.

The ladder leads back to where you found the second jammer, the first one after the second purple gate. The top of the wall is too slippery to stand on but hanging onto the ladder you can see a bit further. The view contributes very little the areas revealed behind the walls all appear empty. Some of the things in the distance seem less detailed than you would expect even accounting for the effects of distance.
