Narrative

A Narrative is a theoric way of describing a whole cosmos as a single path (a “worldtrack”) traced through Hemn Spaces. To minds living within it, a Narrative appears to be the universe entire; many such Narratives can share the same configuration space without intersecting.

First appearance and context

During a messal convened at Tredegarh amid the present Convox, Fraa Jad speaks of the world we perceive as but one Narrative among many, and suggests that the visitors in orbit came from other Narratives. Participants take this as a shift away from talk of “parallel universes” toward the language of configuration space.

Usage in current events

Reports shared at Tredegarh describe laboratory tests on four recovered fluid vials whose nuclei are mutually incompatible with each other and with Arbre‑native matter. This is cited in discussion as evidence that the four visitor contingents—collectively called the Geometers—originate from distinct Narratives.

Terminology and debates

• Conventional phrasing among theors is to speak of “worldtracks” in configuration space; several speakers note that “Narrative” is a rarer, more loaded term.
• Suur Moyra observes that use of “Narrative” is associated in some minds with The Lineage.
• In Jad’s presentation, “backwards” talk is rejected (“there is no backwards”), treating a Narrative as a path in Hemn space rather than a sequence unfolding in time.
• Opponents and supporters alike connect the topic to wider disputes about the Hylaean Theoric World.

Status

“Narrative” remains an uncommon but active term in current dialog, primarily as a way to frame contact with off‑worlders within Hemn‑space thinking.
