Quator

Quator is a provisional label for one of four planetary emblems associated with the visiting Geometers in orbit around Arbre. The same planet image is visible on their large craft and on the set of sample vials distributed by their probe, where it serves to distinguish one contingent from the others.

Description and Imagery

The Quator emblem depicts a world with most of its landmasses concentrated at low latitudes. The name is a convenience derived from this geography; it is not presented as an official endonym.

Affiliations and Usage

The icon marks the Geometer contingent commonly referred to as the Quators. It functions as a visual identifier within discussions and materials concerning the visitors.

In‑World References

In current discourse, avout sometimes speak of “the planet of Quator” when exploring plurality‑of‑worlds ideas alongside the other emblematic worlds—Antarct, Pangee, and Diasp. This phrasing reflects how people on Arbre are using the iconography as shorthand for an associated world and group; it is not, by itself, confirmation of origin. It has also been cited, alongside Arbre, as an example of an inhabited world in generalized diagrams used to discuss how knowledge and causality might flow between worlds; this reflects current ways of speaking rather than a verified claim about its status.

Status and Uncertainty

The label “Quator” refers to the depicted planet as an emblem. It has not been confirmed whether this is the actual homeworld of that contingent, only that the imagery is used to represent them. The designation may evolve as more information is learned.
