Who is The Lambertians from Permutation City and what is their importance?

The Lambertians are an intelligent life form. They evolve on the planet Lambert, which was designed by Maria Deluca. Insect-like in appearance, they fly in swarms and communicate through motion and dance. They have evolved to understand complex mathematics and physical sciences according to the rules of the Autoverse, the program within which they operate. When Durham and Maria attempt to contact the Lambertians and explain how they came into existence, they reject the information as impossible, thereby endangering the existence of Elysium.
