Helmet of Horror 2.0

Having been doing some housecleaning lately (namely reading some past posts and wishing I had such brilliance now as I did then)  I re-discovered The Helmet, and decided to add some features, as well as throwing some diagrams in.  Yes, diagrams of something that contains itself, goody.

(New features are bolded for convenience)

The basic structure of the Helm V2 is the same, with the addition of 2 important components.  The first being the addition of a purifying unit which lies in the realm of the past.  It filters out bad and potentially harmful past memories, and pushes them downwards, while allowing the bubbles of hope to rise up to the Now Grid unabated.  Now, all of these darker thoughts and memories filter downwards, and are condensed by a condenser, which then burns off the now solid memories, igniting them with the spark of insanity.  The smoke is vented out the back of the helmet, where it rises up and is taken in through a vent in the Horns of Plenty, which then taints the memories which are being enriched and transformed into the bubbles of hope.  This taint is then later removed during the purification process, then condensed, burnt off, etc.  The next part being a distilling crest, which runs across the top of the helmet, front to back.  It is here that the force of circumstance flows, instead of going directly to the separator labyrinth.  In the crest, the stream of consciousness is dissected, split apart into its most basic units, where it then is injected into the separator labyrinth, which then assembles the distilled thoughts into everything.  This will make more sense with the diagrams.  (The images expand out when clicked)
