Third struggled heavily, oriented towards the familiative audiovisual perceptive stimulus
uncertain ambulatory perceptual familiative attenuation
Third became self-aware of physical reality in relation to internal perceptions, the externality of a world beyond self-cognitive perceptual awareness - the beckoning voice was familiar. Familiar…
The function of memory, remembering the existence of time before this moment - that there was a 'this moment', that there existed past moments that were no longer part of a unitary 'now' - that the beckoning voice had existed within that past moment, and was now also here.
Third determined how to adjust intererelated physical locational ambulatory perceptual functionalitive feedback processes, processes of gravity and motion - and altered unitary physical locational awareness towards that beckoning voice.

A first memory that Third was aware of, in becoming self-aware, other-aware - Third - walked.
Confused, Third maintained perceptional awareness of self, and other, and this moment in time, in relation to other moments - although immediately as moments passed into what Third began to recognize as memory they became indistinct, blurred - the voice left soon thereafter, leaving Third confined until what Third determined was a promise of future return; and a concept therefor of future, of time beyond past, and now.
An additional other - Third became captivated. An object, deep red, larger than Third's physical self-iterative limitary perceptual feedback range.
"YmFsbA==" Third muttered, deliberately exercising physical self-iterative limitary perceptual feedback communicative
"YmFsbA==" Third interrupted, and then again repeated, "Ball."
The vivid red, its size, the dimensionality of its shape, the faint distorted reflections of Third's entire world on its surface, its reactionary movement to Third's stimulus - Third was beyond captivated; this was a ZnJpZW5k? Each attempt to move, to orient itself, required focus. It felt as though some parts of perception had no stable anchors yet, or as though they might slip and scatter if Third did not actively hold them. Third watched the red object, fascinated by its vastness, the way it seemed to contain the world’s edges within its glistening form.
And then, that word: "YmFsbA==" echoed out, a series of sounds that seemed not just arbitrary but intentional, carrying with it a flavor, a purpose. Third had repeated it, feeling its form shaping on their vocal cords, and again, "Ball." Each repetition drew Third closer to the boundaries of understanding, as if the vocalization itself had resonance within the object.
Third's awareness stretched slowly, thirsting for a connection it had never known but instinctually recognized as necessary, vital. This sense of innate knowing, alien familiarity echoed quietly in Third's nascent mind. Their own voice, the colour, the feeling of another - this was not mere passive observation but an active, physical reaching for connection, for response.
The object moved under Third’s touch, rolling just slightly, responding to their push. Its surface, cool and red yielded to pressure and sprang back, its spherical mass moving in satisfying, reactive patterns. Third became captivated by the interaction, by how something outside themselves responds to their influence.
No longer passive, reactionary, Third experienced the power that came from purposeful reactive iterative physical interrelative externality interaction.
And with awareness of self, and other - grew awareness of identative perceptpual locational externality - beyond self, beyond other, beyond YmFsbA== - and with awareness came desire. Desire to experience, to learn, to know, to remember - to grow.
Drawn by the desire to understand what lies beyond Third reached towards where the voice had left them - press their small aGFuZHM= against it. The reactive feedback impulse was different from YmFsbA== - cold, hard. A different feeling flashed through Third's awareness, hot, an annoyance - being able to see a greater world but not reach it!
A click, and the gate swung open. Third paused at the threshold, a recognizance of the distinction between “inside” and “outside” as if it were a tangible force. A mixture of curiosity and uncertainty settled over them, then longing - a longing to go forward, but also the instinctive need for safety, a feeling of crossing from the known into the unknown.
A simple, colorful shape drew Third's attention, decorated in right colours and lettering - the sight of it sparked something, a sense that it was important. Reaching out, Third managed to YW1idWxhdGU= and with arrival reached out. The texture, colours, the feel of the shape - the sense of meaning. Symbols - letters? - unfamiliar and strange, but compelling, something new to comprehend. As Third explored the shape, its facets and edges, hidden layers of planes revealing new colours and shapes, there was a growing feeling that these markings somehow held deep meaning, an essence and significance beyond their shapes. Attributes, concepts of self - unfamiliar but instinctively relatable - Third was entranced. More than colorful shapes - letters - words - these were pieces of self-definition, things they could choose, and shape - a first act of self-creation.

So engrossed was Third in Ym9vaw== that they hadn't noticed the return of the familiative presence, more clear, now, with Third's experience with YmFsbA== - Third was developing now with extraordinary speed. This voice, this - other, with the familiative remembered resonance from a previous time that was different from 'now' - "Come on over here. I want to show you something." this larger yet familiar Other beckoned.
This larger yet familiar Other beckoned, crouching beside another planar rectangular shape, with smaller shapes Third could now recognize as similar to those within the layers of Ym9vaw==.

The Other paused, indescribable emotion in their voice as they continued.

Third followed, still entranced and distracted by these growing realizations of self, and other, of before, and now, and after, and VGhpcmQgcmV0dXJuZWQsIG5vdyBzYXBpZW50Lg==
