>There is more than one entity pertaining to the future. Hence why it is uncertain.<

[Empiricist]

<Ah, factors other than Fate... In that case, how does precognition work? Does it force the future to adopt the currently most likely outcome? Or is precognition functionally impossible?>

[IamanElfCollaborator]

>Neither.
Precognition is provided by one of the many entities of Fate, Destiny and what have you. Sometimes they are correct, sometimes not. Most predict similar things, although with different perspectives.<

[Empiricist]

<Hmm... interesting. Anyway, if one such entity did decree my actions, how did you become aware of that information?>

[IamanElfCollaborator]

>The immense nihilism and the mention of Fate hinted it.<

[Empiricist]

<I meant about me being supposedly destined to have created my siblings? As for the nihilism, I try and keep that influence in check, since I'm optimistic and solipsistic personally.>

[IamanElfCollaborator]

>The Fates predicted it. Plural.<

[Empiricist]

<There are multiple Fates?>

[IamanElfCollaborator]

>Clotho, Atropos, and...I forget the last one. The three Fates, count as a single entity. Fate, your entity, is different and altogether more mysterious and nihilistic.<

[Empiricist]

<According to @Empiricist's notes, it's more or less the entire concept of Fate. The eventual future that is unquestionably certain.>

[IamanElfCollaborator]

>I believe that would be entropy. Not all things are fated to die, and not everything possesses an ultimate fate at all.<

[Empiricist]

<Entropy is constant and is supposedly enforced in every single interaction. Fate is not. As long as its goal is eventually me, it cares not for the consequences. It will take infinity to the power of infinity recurring for everything to end. More than the limitless expanses of eternity. Yet to Fate, infinity is just a number. An incalculably high number but an eventually attainable number none the less. The distortions I summon are the future, overlayed onto the present.>

[IamanElfCollaborator]

>I don't pretend to be knowledgeable about matters not pertaining to the Moirae, but that sounds incredibly grim.<

[Empiricist]

<*shrugs* Well, it can perceive the end of eternity but we can't. So from our frame of reference, what Fate seeks is impossible.>

[IamanElfCollaborator]

>Indeed. Dionysus, what the bloody fuck are you doing?!<
Abraxas is gone again.
