Hate to do this again, voting for multiple things; but this is me going 'I'd really be fine with either of these versions of the proposal'. Will probably consolidate after the vote progresses some though.

While I like dance magic, in the end I was convinced that the looking glass is easier to build on.

Here's one I don't think got out of the discord before.

The Codex Mathamagica

This is a book of math. It is high level math, discussing borehole creation, fusion reactor innards, how a bumblebee flies, and similar subjects. It is also 100% wrong. All the top level mathematicians tell us that.

Unfortunately for them, the math still works. And let me tell you, when you can prove that 1 = 2, at least in certain situations, things get excessively weird. Most of the time the weirdness is expressed in ways to commit an interesting and messy suicide, but some of the math is more useful then that. Some of the math, you can use to do stuff. With some of the math, you can prove that the universe is wrong. And when the universe is wrong, it moves to correct itself.

When you can prove the universe is wrong in repeatable, predictable, ways, you have correction effects that you can use in science. Barriers without anchors. Light without heat. Force without mass. A shadow without illumination.

Mathamagics.

Alright. I hate to do this Now while we're voting and all... But I wasn't satisfied with my 'Dimensional Bleedover Rituals' proposal. So I basically rewrote it to remove the taint of being powered by 39 hours of sleep deprivation. It maintains the same spirit as predecessor, but is, in my opinion, better. That is for you lot whom are following me to decide however.

Here it is:

Dimensional Bleedover Rituals v2
Whenever you were part of a crowd united in purpose; at a live performance of your favorite musician; during the finals of a sports league; in a movie theater debuting the eagerly awaited sequel to a beloved movie; or even in the presence of the crazy pseudo cults that always congregate around Coffee Machines on the Pacemaster... Have you ever felt an energy in the air? A feeling that something far greater than yourself was present? Long have we ascribed it to 'mob mentality', a manifestation of our communal instincts and nature. Or latent radiation.

The texts we have purchased from the Watchers, which seem to have been translated roughly into 'Dimensional Bleedover, For Dummies', offers a different explanation from what we've properly translated from it so far: that this feeling isn't so simple; that what we're feeling is the turbulence and aftereffects of what is called 'Dimensional Bleedover'. The event itself seems to be quite literally named, as it is an event where the barriers between dimensions is blended a little, and effects, energy and sometimes even material is transferred between 2 or more dimensions; and that this event can be induced through a series of specific movements specifically tailored to wear down these boundaries. It really does appear that Humanity has been (mostly) unintentionally doing this for a very large chunk of its existence by complete accident, trading precision for 'resonance effects' or something...

Another thing we've noted from what we've translated so far is that these events are easier to induce if one is capable of enacting them from both sides of the dimensions one wishes to blend... And conveniently right after this is an addendum from the Watchers that seems to contain proofs that while Humans are optimized to work in 3 dimensions of 'Normal Space', we do in fact exist primarily in what our best guess is 5... We think, anyway. There's always the chance that we've greatly mistranslated it and it's actually an ad for a body health pill or something, Watcher-speak is ridiculously resilient to translation.... If this is true though, breaking into this new field of physics breaking wouldn't be the incredibly painstakingly long and hard process we initially projected it to be!... It would also explain how mimes work. We think. Their ways are mysterious and obscure even with this revelation...

Still; there is a fervor throughout R&D, at seeing the timetable for tearing reality in new and exciting ways (or for personally seeing and studying physics interactions for the not-good-boring ones...); even if it does seem that we will be limited towards *only* 5 Dimensional Fuckery for the near future. Because even with only 5, the possibilities swirl throughout the minds of the scientists! There's always the simple options of exploiting Higher Dimensional physics and of folding Normal Space into said Higher Dimensions (well, simple in thought at least; actual viability assessments cannot be made just yet). We could form containment apparatuses where none exist within Normal Space! Shunting objects into and out of Higher Dimensional Space is also a possibility we have dreamed of! Enhanced Starship drives that take shortcuts by exploiting traveling through Higher Dimensional Space! Ships that exist in more than the 3 dimensions of Normal Space! Synchronized Spaceship Dancing for fun and profit! Once we figure out how to build proper 5D tools so that we don't have to rely on placing our small population in awkward and dangerous places the possibilities would be endless!



There it is. Let me know what you guys think.

Not my favorite proposal, but I consider dancing just a tad too silly.

I'm a fan of both of these. Good writing and such. Good job boys! I'm still here! Watching! Waiting!

I'm happy with whatever winning, though.

Really don't like the looking glass, but sadly it seems it is winning.

I know the feeling, but people seem to like the idea of exotic materials that comes from another civilization not of our dimension over dimensional manipulation through specific movements and actions it seems.

I do somewhat question going with the thing stated to react with synthetics 'extremely unpredictably' when a good majority of our stuff runs off of synthetics using boreholes though... It feels a little silly? Apologies if this sounds worse than I meant it to be, insults or anything like that were not intended.


Still, I made my peace with the possibility of the Looking Glass winning; and as both things involve dimensional tomfoolery there is a good chance that we could use one as a springboard for the other (well, something like the other; we can't quite use the exact same proposals as the current ones all reference the event) - so that we do not have to reinvent the wheel twice so to say if we end up going 'Why not both?'

Ain't gonna detonate when going through a borehole or anything, that rule, as it says, stipulates direct contact w/ synthetic matter, which naturally precludes that sort of thing. It just means that if direct synthetic matter sees significant use in combat, things will get bizarre, potentially for or against our favor depending on how we play it.
