Actually due to lack of leaves this describes a rock golem.

Not all plants have leaves, plus, leaves are still undefined.

Well yeah but you didn't define sunlight and since you were so specific plants will never have photosynthesis.

Yeah but that's half the fun of making nature. Making it not work the same as it does in RL.

[RadtheCad]

((No updates today, I'm afraid, but just because something is named after something in real life doens't mean it has to work that way-  if you want photosynthesis, just give it to animals.

More importantly, terms like 'form' now have very specific definitions.   Form is a state of existence that defines the nature of interaction with different aspects of the universe;  in short, it decides whether you can interact with, say, matter, or ghosts.  If they exist.  They don't yet.  All commands using form as something meaning shape or nature don't make sense in this setting!  I'm looking at you, demon summoners.

Also, how the fuck did this get this far from a misclick.  Sheesh ))

I don' have a problem with that I just find it interesting.

I know I'm just setting the groundwork >. Because we are a crime against nature :3.

You define a category of life form, a PLANT. 

"Hmm.  Interesting, Brother, though you haven't defined their expiry dates.  Not a problem, but I must wonder why you defined that in the first place...-"

Suddenly the words are cut off as a harsh, blinding pain resonates through all of existence.  Confused, you search for a reason, when a concept echoes through your mind:

"Undefined Void corroding essence.  Remedy:  defined surroundings and space."

Suddenly, a new definition appears;  BLANK  (AKA  VOID). This is an undefined part of reality that can go hostile and start corroding entities and with them, concepts.  It is unknown whether it is sentient in any way;  you cannot currently access any more definitions on it.

You and your brother are surrounded by BLANK.  The blank is 0-dimensional;  nothing, not even space, is implemented.  Your essences are being corrupted.  Remain like this for too long, and the consequences shall be dire.  What do you do?




((The list!))

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

YOU are the anthromorphised representation, and god, of Logic.  You can think.  You possess consciousness.  You can express concepts.  You can communicate with your Brother, with whom you have a loving relationship.  You possess the power to Define undefined aspects of reality into whatever you wish them to be. 

Your BROTHER is the anthromorphised representation of CHAOS and ORDER.  It can think.  It possesses consciousness.  It can communicate with you, and has a loving relationship with you.  It possesses the power to Define undefined aspects of reality into whatever it wishes them to be.

THE INPUT is a group of extra- dimensional beings that give orders to select beings within the universe.

THE UNIVERSE is the entirety of systems, mortal entities (unless otherwise noted) and space.

EXISTENCE is a state of being that enables interaction and being interacted with.

NON-EXISTENCE is a state of being in which one does not exist;  it is the opposite of Existance.

FORM is a state of existence that defines the nature of interaction with systems of the universe.

SPACE is the meta-Form.  It allows the universe to engage in SYSTEM with itself, and provides an elaborate physical coordinate system to do so.

BLANK  (AKA  VOID). This is an undefined part of reality that can go hostile and start corroding entities and with them, concepts.

TIME is the myterious clock behind reality.  You do not know of its true nature, despite it being predefined.  It may be even older than You.

PHYSICS is a highly complex ruleset governing interactions and movements in Space, which can exist in a variety of forms, along with the nature of Space.

SYSTEM is the interaction between concepts in existence.

LOGIC is a system for thought.  It is the OS of consciousness.  It includes a multitude of Definitions.

GODS are beings with immense power in up to three spheres of influence, usually sets of concepts.

AIR is a set of several components of Matter.  Its presence is required for function by most non-god lifeforms.

EARTH is a soft substance composed of a multitude of tiny objects.  It can be compressed into stone.

THE ELEMENTS are the set of all components of Matter.
 
MATTER is a set of physical interactable objects of various sizes.

OBJECTS are entities from the set of matter.  Unless otherwise noted, they interact with each other.

SENTIENCE is the ability for an entity to think without the intervention of another entity.

INTELLIGENCE is the ability to understand definitions.

a LIFEFORM is an object capable of movement of self-replication.  It reverts to NON-LIFE after a certain time period.

BEGGINING is a point in a concept's timeline at which it is defined.

ENDING is a point in an object's timeline at which it becomes undefined.

GOOD is that which brings about harm and bad things to others, while boosting your own ends.

EVIL is that which brings about beneficial circumstances to others, regardless of the harm that may come to oneself.

BROTHERHOOD is a mentally (or otherwise) sourced, mutual, often unspoken pact of trust and comradeship or otherwise between two or more entities.

OTHER!LOVE is a state of attraction between two entities that causes them to procreate (where applicable.)

WAAGH is an aspect of reality named "WAAGH".  The number of A's is variable.

TREES are undefined aspects of reality.

EARTH is an undefined aspect of reality.

DESTRUCTION is an undefined aspect of reality.

LOVE is an undefined aspect of reality.

>Begin implementing an opposite of BLANK. We shall call this... space. It doesn't have anything in it but unlike Blank is and existing thing that can have forces exerted on it. (Do I need to explain basic quantum mechanics now or can I do it later?)

one notable issue with that plan. Space is already defined. might I present this as an alternative. Create another void adjacent to the previous void, and the area within the distance between the two voids will become the first dimension. From there, create two more points of void, each adjacent to the previously created void, parallel, but not withing the same point of the previous void, and the area within the distance between those four will become the second dimension, then repeat over and over until we force it to self replicate, creating an infinite number of dimensions to work between.

Best plan.

[RadtheCad]

Thinking quickly on your (nonexistant) feet, you define your surroundings as an N-dimensional physical plane extrapolated from and between multiple xeroth dimensional voidspaces.  You're not entirely sure what that means, but in any case, it works;  you are now residing inside a physical plane- a more elaborate version of the space you were in before.  Your immediate surroundings in the space are empty;  what lies further away is undefined.  You and your brother both breathe up;  the corrosion has stopped for now, though it may return unless you define the nature of your N-dimensional planar surroundings more closely.  Starting with that pesky N.

"That... was unpleasant.  On a variety of levels."

Your brother performs the mental version of a shudder.

"I don't care to think of what would have happened to us had we stayed in the midst of that for much longer.  But now, we have a new problem;  our physical shapes in this plane are not defined.  Perhaps it is this, too, that lets that corrosion reach us.  I must investigate further..."

Grimacing, your Brother descends in to thought.

What do you do?




Note from your glorious overlord OP:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

((You already have the laws of physics;  unless you define part of them otherwise, they will default to the ones of our universe.  Also, if you read the listing for SPACE, it includes mention of a coordinate system.  This invokes logic, Mathematics, and physics;  which means that using the term as you have isn't actually wrong, unlike using the term 'form' to mean something completely different from is definition.

You need to define what number of dimensions you have etc.  Nothing is assumed.  Also, be wary of defining too much.  You nearly said that space was empty;  that would have prohibited you from defining a part of space to contain something, which is the easiest way of 'spawning in' items.

You can use space as you normally would when giving commands and talking, for simplicity's sake.  And if you have any criticisms and/or questions about the mechanics, my plans, and the way I've been running this thing, shoot.  I'm curious as to what people actually think about this.))

[Delioth]

DEFINE our plane as having 7 dimensions, defined as the first and second being height and width, as with viewing a flat surface without thickness. Defining the third as exterior thickness or depth, allowing for objects to be sized in three dimensions, being true objects. Define the fourth, fifth, and sixth as interior height, width, thickness and depth, allowing for things to be different sizes inside and outside. Define the seventh dimension as time, used to chronicle the events of an object between its beginning and end. DEFINE this moment as the beginning of TIME

EDIT: I realized we need 3 separate dimensions for interior dimensions, not just depth-fixed

[javierpwn]

Time and the beginning of TIme have already been defined.

Doesn't stop you from defining the Fifth dimension as time though.

[RadtheCad]

((I'll go ahead and enact that if you're sure, but FYI, if you want to make the TARDIS, 4 dimensions of space will be greatly sufficient.  You can just hve the door to the thing shift you a centimetre along the 4D plane into a whole different 3D space that can be any size you want.  Compare it to this:  to have a TARDIS in a 2D plane with 3 usable dimensions, you'd just have the door lead slightly up off of the surface of the paper, leading, perhaps, to a seperate sheet which can be any desired size.  Just saying, as I have no idea how to even begin thinkig about a 6N dimensional object.))

EDIT:  Derp.  Definitions.  Dimensions work whatever way you want them to.  Apologies.
