My brother in science Silver Quill is...absent...today. I fear the worst it has therefore fallen upon me, Dr. Cobb (PhD in History) to write this entry. Together we will probe the deep dark of the Superior Realms and the various worlds coalescing properties, as well as why it occurs. Of course, while I am writing this, a trusted source is investigating the nearest Wendy's in search of Silver Quill, who has taken to documenting their inner-workings.
The Superior Realm
worlds repel each other. They are, in many ways, incompatible and thus can
never come in contact. This means that left to their own world-ish devices they
would be repelled through whatever undiscovered material surrounds them. This
means that there must be some sort of adhesive influence upon the worlds, and
we, the Chimerical Aggregation of Historians in Opposition to Lord El Stink, or
CAHOLES—not to be confused with A. Holes— have sought ludicrous theory after farcical
ideas until we have finally found one which seems to fit. We have named this
The Mortar Theorem. That or The Theorem of Peanut Butter Sandwiches. We
couldn’t decide which was better one spelled TMT and the other had PBS in the abbreviation
and some of us Historians thought that both were a little unoriginal.
Anyway, the idea is that
there is something acting as mortar between bricks or peanut butter between two
slices of bread which keep these otherwise repulsive objects together. We call
these objects Localized Adhesive Things or LATs for short. These LATs can be
anything. Sometimes, such as in Norse mythology, they are trees such as
Yggdrasil, World Tree, or as the center of influence is called in my current history
of Uodor, the AllSpice. However, these things can really be anything that plays
an important role in a collection of worlds which we have opted to call Pearl
Strings.
LATs influence loops are
called Pearl Strings because, like pearls, the hard outrebounds of each world,
or pearl on a pearl string necklace, refuse to overlap. In the center of the
loop is the LAT which kind of acts as a sting or binding agent without which
the pearls would eventually drift away. There are some, such as I, who believe
that each pearl loop is, in and of itself, just another pearl on an even larger
loop connected with an even larger LAT. We are not sure how many times this
cycle would repeat.
The CAHOLES have found
evidence to believe that beings live in these LATs, manipulating the fate of
the people in their sphere of influence. This is especially interesting where
it is possible to see overlapping influences resulting in such worlds as
advanced technology and magic. We are still in debate over these creatures’
names. Some feel that we should find words to fit TES so that it can be added
to LAT to make LATTES, but others feel that this detracts from the seriousness
of the matter.
Sincerely,
Dr. Cobb
