"The analyses consume considerable computing cycles and require the use
of Stampede's large memory nodes, but they allow the group to

Saṃsara... meaning "continuous flow")... According to the view of these religions, a person's current life is
only one of many—stretching back before birth into past existences and
reaching forward beyond death into future incarnations. During the
course of each life the quality of the actions (karma)
performed determine the future destiny of each person. The Buddha
taught that there is no beginning to this cycle but that it can be ended
through perceiving reality. The goal of these religions is to realize
this truth, the achievement of which (like ripening of a fruit) is moksha or liberation.
