    Our story takes place in a dystopian timeline where scientists have discovered an algorithm which controls all life proving all religions wrong and making most convert to math for all of life's answers. These folks, known now as mathematicians, soul spiritual purpose is to make sure everyone is following their predetermined destiny drawn out by their new found "god", The Cosmic Algorithm.

    Life is still mostly the same but now with the absence of a greater question, meaning, purpose, (ie. "What is the meaning of life?") folks lead relatively dull existences involving living exactly how the Algorithm wants you to live.

    Among the masses stands an average aging electronic musician named Corporal Quigg. Tired of the mundane routine he has been given to lead day to day by The Cosmic Algorithm, he slowly turns numb to life and living.

    One day he finds and falls in love with MIDI. MIDI, being the breath of fresh air needed, truly makes Corporal Quigg happy until the moment he realizes he is not compatible with MIDI, at least not according to the Cosmic Algorithm which requires everything living or inanimate to add up properly and if they do not add up properly they are to be destroyed.

    Directly disobeying the Cosmic algorithm has never ended well for anyone or anything as most that oppose the math are met with death. Corporal Quigg decides that his love for MIDI is worth the fight and their mutual love is more important than any scientists discovery of a higher intelligent life form and decides to try his hand in changing the code for himself designed by the Cosmic algorithm using the capabilities of his new love MIDI to do it.

    Can Corporal Quigg crack the code or will he become the next victim of The Cosmic Algorithm?

lyrics

You want to claim your freedom? you want the freedom to choose? You want to claim your freedom? Escape these math blues? You want your independence. You want the liberty to do all that you've ever wanted anything that you want to.

You've got to run the numbers. You have got to figure them out.

Don't you want manumission? Release from your oppression? Don't you want manumission? Free from number possession? You want emancipation? You want your ticket drawn? You want emancipation? You would like to be gone?

Im afraid to even try. To fight the algorithm leaves me mortified but if I don't I know that I will be here from birth until the day I die.
