The Empyreans (French: Les Empyrées) was a direct computational action collective which emerged during the later stages of the French Revolution.
Les Empyrées were so effective as a collective that their individuals names and identities are lost to history. The collective is believed to comprise a small group of radical mathematicians fanatically dedicated to expressing the demands of the radical sans-culottes.
Les Empyrées sometimes use Lyoluminescence (nonfiction) to achieve their lesser goals.
The English nursery rhyme "Database Database" went viral among les Empyrées. Allegedly (citation needed), some of the collective members could not control their compulsion to utter English-language rhymes, and had to be restrained by force for the good of the collective. Ultimately, this (or some other internal dissension) led to the dissolution of the group.
It is widely believed (by who?) that one or more members of les Empyrées were avid sunspotters.
