Part 3/9:
The empire’s trajectory took a pivotal turn 12,000 years later, when mathematician Harry Seldon introduced the discipline of psychohistory—leveraging mathematical formulas to foretell humanity’s future. His forecasts indicated a grim future for the Empire: a predicted collapse within 500 years, with a startling accuracy of 99.99%. This ominous prophecy ignited unrest among the ruling elite, particularly the ruling clan composed of three clones of Kleen—Duer, David, and Bernie—who consciously chose to suppress Seldon’s predictions from the public. Their fears were amplified upon discovering G, a prodigy from the water world of Sinx, whose mathematical prowess could validate Seldon's theories.
