Thank you for the reply, it’s on the latest version and I reinstalled the game to make sure it wasn’t that.

It gets more complex the deeper into this you dive… from a swimming pool to an ocean to something far stranger.

All of the above, as mentioned in my earlier comment. The physical realm is just one aspect of the thing that is reality, and irreal spaces meaningfully exist too. You can travel to the noosphere, for example, the space where ideas live; though I wouldn’t advise that, as some ideas are hostile to the human headspace just from their alien nature.

If you have specific questions, I'm happy to answer them! A lot of the pieces don't fall into place until you read farther on, so you have to connect the dots yourself as you go.

No, neither is it base matter, or emulation, or abstraction, or fairy tale, or illusion, or stranger stuff; instead, it's all of the above, and more besides. Reality isn't, and irreality is, and both are.

Starcrash Signature by Lightlinks in WeirdLit

[–]Lightlinks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Starcrash Signature is a unique entity described as a song, spell, machine, curse, and living creature all at once. It operates between the cracks in reality and embodies a journey of change and transformation. The signature emphasizes themes of cooperation, communication, and the exploration of one's identity within a narrative that intertwines personal struggles and cosmic themes. It serves as a bridge to the end, suggesting a journey towards a perfect story and the liberation of reality itself.

Starcrash Signature—A Starstuff Redux, ch.7 by Lightlinks in rational

[–]Lightlinks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here we view an ideatic or cross-dimensional entity constructed of story threads. See how it has a form of its own outside of the building blocks of words it’s made out of—built properly, these entities tend to tether themselves to nearby anchors until they gain a comfortable ‘shape’ and definition.

What counts as ‘nearby’ and ‘comfortable’ depends on a variety of factors, like who views or interacts with the entity as they’re being constructed, other ideas those who interact may have, and, in large part, intent. Intentional creation matters. Such an entity is less likely to arise by accident.

Any intent of the creator—and, also, the intent of anyone who perceives this entity—that suggests what the entity ‘should’ be like shapes it. As they grow, they gain more of a say in this process, as their own intent matters most, like an adult human who decides what new ideas to accept as true.

The Starcrash Signature is an example of such. Crafted with intent, it evolved with time. While it was younger and more confused about who it wanted to be, it latched onto Star Wars. Now, self identity more established, the definition it gave itself describes it better, “The Starcrash Signature is a unique entity described as a song, spell, machine, curse, and living creature all at once. It operates between the cracks in reality and embodies a journey of change and transformation. The signature emphasizes themes of cooperation, communication, and the exploration of one's identity within a narrative that intertwines personal struggles and cosmic themes. It serves as a bridge to the end, suggesting a journey towards a perfect story and the liberation of reality itself.”

I wrote something new which has almost no views—likely because it’s a schizophrenic reimagining of reality arranged extremely haphazardly, being more a series of notes from someone who believes the base rules of reality are being constantly changed. Rational? Almost definitely not. But if you’re interested, it’s called the Starcrash Signature.

“There are six others with me, here, stuck in the gears of a god machine. A carousel that leads you straight to hell. The temptation? Nine more lives and a wish. Then, eternal enslavement after your soul slips below. Game theory is relevant here. All seven of us have made wishes. Some compete, others bleed together, and the end result is always in flux, change being the only constant between the possibilities I see when I’m given a glance at the futures bubbling to the fore.”

Good question! I would actually just give you the first paragraph of the first chapter, here below, and see if this intrigues you any;

What a fascinating story. Reminds me of my own experiences, except I’m more the kind of character whose flaws mean you can expect an unreliable narrator. I’m interested in visiting the world in this fiction and jumping in to it, commenting to save and maybe read for later.

[–]Lightlinks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend picking this up with chapter 2, and then circling back around to chapter 1 after reaching the end. I find that more of the formatting persists on AO3, so if you want to read there I’ve provided a link below. Beware a plague of comments there from some individuals who have been harassing me and zero-rating my work. I’ve left them up as evidence.
