Voxophone 4/?? - Voice

[A strange experiment, Robert thinks, but he's grateful for it. It allowed for a demonstration of the capabilities of the world to Rosalind without providing an experience that might have injured her. Better, certainly, than his own first encounter with such things.

Now that it is is passed, though, they can resume their work.

It's the middle of the afternoon when he opens the Journal again. He's used it as a sort of voxophone before -- storing his thoughts and sharing them with others. There is no reason not to do it now.]


It remains my theory that this world we reside in does not exist parallel to other worlds but is, in fact, a tangent world, crossing many universes with many timelines at a metaphorical angle. [If it ran parallel, in his experience, there might be accounting for the variations on one particular world -- and it was still possible that everyone here was merely from extreme variations of the same world -- but not inconsistencies in timeline. A Booker DeWitt who stepped out of July 12th, 1912 would arrive in the world of Columbia on July 12th, 1912.

A tangent line, however, could take, for this example, a DeWitt from July 12th, 1912; an Elizabeth from February, 1909; a Rosalind from October 19th, 1899. It had not, but it answered for how such things -- as had been observed in their own case in a small way and in others' in much more noticeable strides -- happened.]


It is even possible that, rather than in a particular time or place, this "Luceti" occupies some stable portion of the possibility space. [If the possibility space was an infinite as he and Rosalind believed, then it, like worlds, contained infinite possibilities. A pocket of it might well house them now.] This would account for the variable nature of the world -- the ability to alter time, perception, and even the permanency of death.

There is no way to test this theory save to attempt to recreate our machine and access the Lutece Tear, so we are resolved.

[Ah, Jade had been meaning to get to know more of this world's supposed intellectuals, and here one is. Perhaps some intelligent conversation could be like a good tonic for the metaphorical hangover of having been his younger self.]

I can't say that I've studied quantum mechanics to such a comprehensive degree, but my, even so, this certainly sounds like an intriguing notion. What exactly is a Lutece Tear?

...What's all that mean?

What's a Tear? What's a tangent world? What's a metaphorical angle? What's possibility space? What machine are you making? Does it do something cool?
breezing: (= considering this.)

[ To her credit, Ikki will always listen to the answers to any questions she asks. ...Even if she might occasionally, you know, interrupt people in everyday conversation with questions, she's willing to listen to the answers that come for them, usually in expectant silence right up until the second someone finishes speaking. ]

So, the tangent angle is how come we're all from different times, but if it were the normal one, we'd all be from the same time??
breezing: (+ omg. excite building.)

And there's more than one tear thing, or are there lots?

If you could, does that mean we could all maybe go home and still visit one another...?

And I always heard that the world's what's bringing us here, but I guess no one knows if it's 'cause of the world or something that was done to the world?

So...you think we're all in...

[ She's trying to figure this out. ]

An inbetween place?

A tangent or pocket world would indeed account for the strange variations in time and universes crossing... Yes, that theory is indeed quite sound. However, I have seen the stars in the sky - they are unfamiliar, despite my thorough study of the skies.

The necessary equipment to create a pocket universe, however, is quite possible although it is something far beyond anything I've ever heard or seen in existence. T-tell me, was it possible to create such things in your- your world?
breezing: (+ IT WAS THIS BIG.)

[ That...

THAT'S EVEN BETTER THAN DRAGONS. Ikki spins around, although through the voice function, there's only a squeal as she turns, happily. ]


In the sky? A whole city? Were there castles there? Can I see it someday? Did people know how to fly?

You had to remove half of the upstairs bedroom floor.

[Asami stumbles her way through a lot of that, and picks the thing that seems the most important. Sort of...]

...The Lutece Tear?
