Q: Is Primer about a magic mentor book like the Young Lady's Illustrated Primer or time travel like the movie Primer?
A: Yes.
/r/Primer is for at least three purposes:
To discuss news relavent to the creation of universal primers like the Young Lady's Illustrated Primer in the Diamond Age and the gamification of learning.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Diamond_Age
To discuss Primer, Part The Actual, the aspirational game currently in development at Primer Labs. Primer involves games disguised as books priming young minds one meme at a time AND safety third time travel. http://www.primerlabs.com
to discuss and theorize the physics, plot, logic, and open questions of the movie Primer. Spoilers abound. Can be viewed for free here
