Saunt Hemn

Saunt Hemn is a Saunt from the Praxic Age, credited with devising Hemn spaces (also called configuration spaces) — an abstract framework offered as a general alternative to working directly with x, y, z coordinates.

First reference and context

Hemn is cited in instruction when configuration spaces are introduced as a clearer way to understand motion and systems. They are contrasted with Saunt Lesper’s coordinate‑based approach and with discipline‑specific orbital‑element spaces used by cosmographers.

Contributions and ideas

• In a Hemn space, a single point encodes a complete state of a system; a system’s history is a continuous path through that space, often called a worldtrack.
• Theors use this representation because it exposes structure and plausibility (compossibility) better than raw component lists.
• In current dialogs about multiple cosmi, Hemn‑space language is applied to cosmology: distinct cosmi can be modeled as separate worldtracks in the same configuration space. Lawful evolution does not always pick a unique successor state, so worldtracks may fork at quantum contingencies. Some speakers also note that Hemn space gives a clean account of time as the ordering along a track.
• Teaching examples invoke a “Hemn Space teleporter” as a thought experiment to show that while any isolated point is syntactically possible, only sequences that could have happened — leaving coherent, mutually consistent traces and records — belong to legitimate worldtracks.
