First Harbinger

First appearance and context

The term is invoked as a historical waypoint when discussing later metatheoricians influenced by Sconic thought, described as working “around the time of the First Harbinger.” In existing references, Harbingers are treated as a numbered series of upheavals or turning points; see Harbingers.

Role and function

Within currently available sources, the First Harbinger functions as the opening event in the sequence of named crises used to demarcate late phases of the Praxic Age. Like its successors, it appears chiefly as a chronological delimiter rather than as a described episode.

Relationships and references

• Part of the numbered series alongside the Second Harbinger and the Third Harbinger.
• Frequently mentioned in the same broad historical frame as the Terrible Events that end the Praxic era, and the subsequent Reconstitution, though no direct causal description has been provided.
