Rebirth

Overview

Rebirth is a capitalized period label for a turning point after which the restrictive Suvin movement ceased to dominate the maths. Sources use it as a boundary marker in histories, glossaries, and displays, signaling a shift in attitudes toward theorics, library access, and practice.

Preceding Context

References place the Rebirth after earlier Middle‑Orth trends and before the industrially oriented Praxic Age. Prior to it, a suvin labeled by later writers as “Mystagogue” discouraged open theoric work and emphasized guarded instruction.

What Happens

Accounts so far describe the Rebirth as a named shift rather than narrating a single incident. It functions as a divider in periodized Orth and institutional summaries; specific causes, dates, and scope have not been detailed in available material.

Current accounts also associate it with exploration radiating from the Sea of Seas. During this time, land discovered beyond it was proclaimed and mapped as a new continent; centuries later, far‑north travel showed it to be a limb of the same landmass, though the older names persisted in myths and histories.

Aftermath and Consequences

• The Rebirth is followed by the Praxic Age, during which avout and Sæculars mingle more freely and theorics see wide practical use.
• Sconic thought is described as emerging roughly halfway between the Rebirth and the Terrible Events, near the height of Praxic‑Age civilization.
• Later reforms are grouped under the Reconstitution, which serves as a renewed hinge for liturgy, Discipline, and dating.

Notes and Usage

• Period labels such as Rebirth, Praxic, and Reconstitution are commonly used in The Dictionary and in public displays to anchor definitions and practices. Examples of Dictionary dates (e.g., “A.R. 3000”) use the A.R. convention; the epoch for A.R. dating is defined under Reconstitution.
• The term “Mystagogue” becomes pejorative in later usage; for the factional sense, see suvin.
