I’m not insulted. Just putting it into perspective.

@Unhinged

Then we shall hopefully have our answer shortly.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

I’m glad you understand. There are more people than you’d imagine who would do anything to be standing in this room right now.
*Walks over to the nearest shelf and grabs a book, opening it and looking inside*

@Multifarious

If knowledge is self-destructive, it becomes of little use.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Unhinged>

Yes.

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

You have to promise not to look into anything here. Not by reading, not by doing anything in any alternative fashion to take knowledge from here. In the event that this is real, doing so will put you in danger forever. Or until your memory of it is wiped. The information itself is dangerous.

@Multifarious

*Nods and turns around*
I'm well acquainted with infohazards. I'd much rather avoid another confrontation with one.

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Are you kidding me?! He’s the prodigy on this stuff! So many of these are lost texts and such that he went and recovered. He’s the most knowledgable person on these topics in eons! He knows everything in here inside and out, just about.

@Unhinged

*Raises a hand*
I hadn't intended to downplay his accomplishments. I'm unfamiliar with this place.

*Walks into the room*
If it’s as easy as we think it is, it should just take one book to prove it, right?

@Unhinged

If it's a book he would be familiar with.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Right through here!
*Runs my finger down the center of the wall like a zipper as it splits open harmlessly*
This place doesn’t have normal architecture. It was designed for us and only us to navigate, after all.

@Unhinged

What a peculiar design. I approve.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

And it all starts with proving this is a fabrication to begin with.
*We finally come to the end of the hallway, no doors in sight*

@Multifarious

Where are these texts?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

That is... not an answerable question.

@Multifarious

*Nods*
Understood. I think that Rythian may be the greatest source of variability, given that we've verified his fabrication. That could lead to a contradictory state, collapsing the simulation.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

A more definite form. More capable of dealing with the source of their unrest.

@Unhinged

Why are they in this world at all?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

Hopefully that’s easy enough... There’s a mot that keeps the knowledge that should be here from those who aren’t supposed to know it. Hopefully that means we can get what we need before the spirits become even more restless.

@Unhinged

Do you know what they're going to escalate toward, exactly?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

I don’t know about you, but I’m not making assumptions about what the system can and can’t know anymore.

@Multifarious

*Nods*
I concede that point. If we can discover the system's points of ignorance, it may become easier to trigger an exception.
