[OOC] Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

But even if the ratio if Paths to Sources is 1000000 to 1, there are still an inexpressibly large amount of Sources. In combination with how many times Sources have reset over however long Existence has been a thing, how many times Paths get screwed with by Tier Fours, and how much can be done over the "lifespan" of a universe, I'd say just about everything short of extra-universal events have happened.

@Galaxy Raider

What? Sources don't reset; they advance and continue forever. There aren't enough to account for everything that could happen, especially since they all start at zero, and they don't all contain the same amount of information. Logically, there are infinite outcomes, but a finite number of universes.

@Etcetera

I could have sworn it was said at one point that Sources start over after so long? Regardless, also consider that I'm not talking about specific outcomes, but I'm considering, for example, that three occurrences of D-day, despite the fact that D-day probably happened a bit differently in each universe, is still an occurrence if D-day. It's a beachhead invasion of Italy, just like the next beachhead invasion of Italy.

When you look at it in broad enough terms, the fact that so many similar occurrences happen is because there are only so many set patterns that events can follow. Start an empire? Been done. That empire falls? Also done. Saved lives in a warzone? Done many times. Lives- even the more exciting ones- run on parallels so much. At this point I'm having trouble expressing it in any deeper manner. Everything runs on parallels because when you disregard the more minute details, there isn't much else that even could happen.

@Galaxy Raider

Paths.

But you could apply that to any broad concept; "life has been done before."
Each Source is unique in its own right, primarily because (since Paths are largely irrelevant) events happen in the Source first.

Lucky we don't live in the multiverse though, eh?

@Etcetera

You could, but I'm not thinking that broad. A notch or two below that, probably.

Or do we? MR IS actually happening right now, after all.

But then it's not restrained to the multiverse, but a sad outlook of our world as well.

Not in the OOC =P

@Galaxy Raider

I most certainly remember it being said that Sources go on until the path they follow is finished, and then they reset to do something different.

Sources don't follow a path.

@whizzball1

Sources go until they die, and then they're disposed of, normally.

[Etcetera]

Should we move the point of interest back to the base?

Sure.
