Diaxan Theorics

First Appearance and Context

The term appears in an entry of the in‑world Dictionary, which frames definitions using Diaxan theorics (e.g., a plane as a two‑dimensional manifold in three‑dimensional space with a flat metric). In public exhibits along the Hylaean Way, Diax is shown driving Enthusiasts from Orithena and establishing the practice he named “theorics,” after which his followers called themselves Theors.

Roles/Actions and Affiliations

• Originates with Diax’s leadership at Orithena, where he set a tone of disciplined thought and coined the term “theorics.”
• Practiced by Theors as a way of engaging with pure objects rather than their imperfect physical representations.
• Associated with the maxim often recited as a self‑check—Diax's Rake—to avoid believing something merely because one wishes it to be so.

Relationships

• Sits within the tradition that traces back to the moment of insight attributed to Cnous and interpreted by Hylaea as concerning pure geometrical objects in a higher theoric plane.
• Closely related to, and a named source for, the community identified as Theors.

Descriptions/Characteristics

• Treats ideal, “theorical” entities (such as triangles and planes) as the proper objects of study, maintaining a careful distinction between symbols and the things symbolized.
• Employs rigorous, neutral formulations; advocates clearing away emotive or loaded language in keeping with Diax’s caution.

Current Status/Location

The term remains in current use in formal definitions and teaching aids visible to visitors, and its outlook is presented in the Hylaean Way galleries. Within the maths, avout invoke its associated caution in ordinary reasoning and dialog.
