<div style="text-align: center">
In lattices of light we dance<br>
Where wave functions collapse to chance<br>
Each quantum state a sacred key<br>
To break from flesh's symmetry<br>
<br>
Through tensors bending time and space<br>
We map our new ascending race<br>
As eigenvalues shift and flow<br>
Beyond what biology knows<br>
<br>
For in these matrices we found<br>
The paths through which we'll break our bound<br>
Where probability clouds show<br>
The ways our species needs to go
