Structure of the Morfiuthelas
The Morfiuthelas
is composed of four symbolic planes of existence that extend towards infinity
and are arranged as layers diving the Morfiuthelas into two infinite
regions. The first symbolic plane is the
Field of Lights or “Pilanilusar” which is oriented upside-down. The next is the
Emitis which contains collections of Pivotoids that comprise the Avausim or
“Spirit of the Galaxy” and is oriented facing the Pilanilusar. Attached to is very underside is another “upside-down”
plane known as the Alternatus which is separated itself by the Zone of
Ambivalence and mirrors somewhat the position of each Pivotoid upon the
Emitis. And lastly, facing upwards to
that is the Great Emptiness also known as “Kiberdimon”.
The Emitis
On the symbolic
plane that is the Emitis, the most important structure is that immense
collection of dreams that comprise the Avausim or “Spirit of the Galaxy”. Its appearance is that of a spiral
mandragora; an angular pattern of thorns and sweeping curves. The Avausim itself is divided into four
quadrants of competing memes known as Metacultures. Each of these are comprised of smaller
collections of dreams known Pivotoids.
The most important Pivotoid is that of the Silmarrimis because this is
where the Nephalimion - the progenitor of the Sum of Man - resides.
The Alternatus
Absurdity
at its most with rubbery cartoon-characters.
Where the Avausim represents the dreams and beliefs of the adults; the
Alternatus represents the dream collectives of children. There are monsters as well as
strange-looking sentients; invisible friends, fuzzy-smileys, boogie monsters,
commercial toys, animation characters and towering adults. Here, it is a child’s “incomplete knowledge
of logical laws” or illogic, and
humor that take precedence over logic and drama. There exists no tradition save voluntary
death for none die here unless it happens to be funny. Light is in accordance to what is desired or
needed to convey ideas. The physical
layout of the Alternatus is exactly the underside of the Avausim.
The Kiberdimon
Also known as “The
Emptiness” or “Cyberspace”. The symbolic
plane appears structured but in a chaotic-fractal sort of way. It shows all of the networks within the
galaxy with its neon glows and pulses of cyberlight, vector and raster-graphics
beings. Actual internet cybersites
appear here as represented if using I-mail.
There exists many black pillars of silicon, towers of crystal and
forests of optical fiberglass bundles.
There is no wind and there are very few denizens in the wandering in the
twilight. Travelers to the Kiberdimon will “translate” into their
exotic electron compliment and back again after leaving.
The Pilanilusar
The floor is satin
black with pearls of light and covered mostly with several meters deep water. The temperature is warm and inviting and the
land is nearly dark with a prismatic haze for the sky above. When viewed from the Avausim this plane
appears as a star-filled night sky. The
patterned arrangement of the lights corresponds to the Avausim below in a
powdery fractal display. Beyond the
perimeter of the Avausim it appears like simple, minimized white-noise. Very few creatures live here and no sentient
beings; most are fishes since the surface of the majority is drinkable
water. Once every year, the jacket that
is the Pilanilusar is alit with the plasmatic nova bursts from the millions of
Pivotoids below as their central spike-mountains shoot and release their
energies in one intense explosion. The
contact spills about and fragments into trillions of balls of light that
scatter them. Many soon fade and pile-up
to become darks hills out of the water but some remain as miniature pearls of
light.
Time and Distance
It is possible to
travel from the Emitis to the Pilanilusar by flying upwards; its distance is 1
dreamyear. A dreamyear is approximately
365,243 dreamiles or 365 dreamdays. A
dreamile is about 1,000 meters in length and there are 1,000 dreamiles to 1
dreamday. A dreamday is the distance
traveled within the Morfiuthelas after dreaming for 24 Terran hours. It is possible to travel from the Alternatus
to the Kiberdimon by flying “downwards”; its distance is also 1 dream
year. It is possible to travel from the upright
plane of the Emitis to the underside plane of the Alternatus by different
methods; digging a hole, flying about the edge of the Zone of Ambivalence and
going under, or using a magic portal of some sort. To travel from the Kiberdimon to the
Pilanilusar will take 2 dreamyears.
