Worldtrack

A worldtrack is the path traced by a system—up to and including an entire cosmos—through a chosen Hemn Space. In this framing, each point of the space encodes a complete state; linking such points into a continuous path yields the system’s history. Some speakers use the idiom “Narrative” for the same idea, while others prefer the neutral, technical term “worldtrack.”

Behavior and properties

• Law‑following and compossibility: Along a worldtrack the laws of nature are preserved. Not every isolated point in a Hemn space belongs to a legitimate history; only sequences that could have happened—complete with mutually consistent traces and records within the cosmos—are treated as compossible. Thought experiments about “jumping” between arbitrary points are used to show why implausible states fail this test.
• Forking: When quantum‑level alternatives arise, more than one next point can be compatible with natural law. In such cases a worldtrack can fork into distinct lawful continuations. Everyday experience within any one branch remains law‑governed.
• Time: Working in configuration space gives a clean account of time as the parameter ordering points along a worldtrack.

Context and use

• Plurality‑of‑worlds discussions: At a themed dinner‑dialog devoted to the topic, participants adopted Hemn‑space language to talk about multiple cosmi. In that account, Arbre and the visiting Geometers are modeled as separate worldtracks in the same configuration space—extremely close to one another near the earliest cosmological configurations and later diverging.
• Matter and physical constants: Recent tests reported at Tredegarh describe four kinds of nuclei in recovered samples that are mutually incompatible and also incompatible with Arbre’s matter. This is taken, by some, as evidence that the visitors originate from different worldtracks where the underlying physical constants take slightly different values. An earlier alternative—that propulsion locally altered the laws—has lost favor. The history of newmatter is cited as background showing that those constants can be treated as contingent.
• Plausibility: Not every coordinate in a Hemn space corresponds to a coherent situation. States that cannot be reached along any smooth worldtrack are treated as impossible, helping explain why some imagined scenarios are dismissed.
• Alternate frameworks in the same debate: In later sittings, some doyns set aside Hemn‑space talk and develop a network‑style account aligned with Complex Protism (the “Wick”): a directed‑acyclic graph of cosmi with one‑way percolation of theoric information from a higher source. Participants explicitly ask how that picture relates to the earlier worldtrack framing.
• Briefing usage: Sæcular liaisons note that the worldtrack model has been used to explain plurality‑of‑worlds to officials outside the maths because it reads clearly in terms of trajectories and forking.

Notes and open questions

• Realness: Whether other legitimate worldtracks in the same Hemn space are “real” in the same sense as ours is flagged as a deep metatheoric question rather than settled doctrine.
• Terminology: Some theor groups use “Narrative” for the same idea; others avoid it because of associations that vary by tradition. The neutral, technical term “worldtrack” is common in dialogs.

Worldtracks are an active topic at the Plurality of Worlds Messal and within the Convox, where the framework is being used to make sense of observations about the visitors and to guide communication strategies across worlds.
