For Dec 15

As the title suggests, this is for the workshop. Feel free to criticize, comment, ask, correct,..., and discuss whatever you consider important. Be a judge, not a counselor, so feel free to point out what needs to be addressed if need be--this is the only way to make some progress.

Phase Union

In a one-dimensional world, the seemingly black cold Ex stood undisrupted of its daily activities, well, during its "time" as defined by its existence. It isn’t alone though: it lives with all its other peers, acting together in a society where appropriate associations and macro-unions lead to rich atmospheres and link to many possible dimensions as ruled and described by the very same associations.

Ex's job is to denote a certain type action that triggers sound, but often accompanied by some of its peers as to act in unison to make it powerful and lasting, or at least communicative. Ex is also skillful at standing still, waiting for orders of costumes or movements to replace its cold façade into a more amiable one. It is a raw material for mass production so to speak, where it constitutes an essential but often minor role when there’s demand for its service. And yet, with such a rich experience Ex’s application seems limited, or at least hindered in some ways. It would argue “I’m composed of the same bulk as all the others. I can create and compose any an all tasks if applied properly, but I’m still enclosed tight in the same dimension as you stick-pigs!”—Its peers would gag.

Ex’s rebellious attitude isn’t new, nor is precipitate, but simply delayed. Delayed because Ex of itself is always rarely used, and of the honorable mentions of its world, as contained in the Powerful Text of Peer Cooperation (a book where the most used combination of the society of peers is listed and described), Ex is barely mentioned and only has a small section. Of the many other tribes in Ex’s one-dimensional world where different combination of peers can compose one thing but be completely nonsensical in another, Ex is also rarely used, and some don’t even use it at all except when it’s an exotic export from some of the other tribes! It’s this resentment for being ignored, underrepresented and used for a device of mystery that has led for Ex to resign its world and its peers, to leave and never return unless to strike back.

Ex opted for a radical decision for change, a decision that no one in the society takes for the possible chain effects and annihilation of the whole. But Ex and its crossed mind had neither remorse nor concern for a society where cooperation and connections are essential for a meaningful existence; it didn’t care for its peers and transposed unto a parallel phase, alone.

The transposition itself borrows from an exotic but common system of parallels between two seemingly unrelated dimensions. One maps the other although not uniquely, which may takes away the uniqueness of the transformation, but can nevertheless be used to link each of the dimensions. All there really needs to be done is for such mapping to exist is for an element from one dimension to morph into the other willingly, as Ex’s case. Given the simplicity of the task and the determination of the figure, transposition is easily done.

But what effect can such disregarded cross hearted figure actions have on its peers? E9’s seemingl9 unessential and minute task surel9 can’t affect the 9hole bulk of another 25 linking peers, can it? That’s wh9 it left in the first place.

Local legend has it that transposing unto the parallel phase leaves a specificit9 hole 9here those related to that 9hich crossed it are sucked along 9ith it, creating unintended casualties for the 9hole s9stem. But the collapse onl9 comes afterwards, 9here the hole itself collapses unto its constituent holes and these in part into their holes, thus starting a self-annihilating chain effect.
The societ9 of peers fear this, and kno9 that it’s said it takes t9ice the amount of the denoting hole (its identit9 “figure”) for the hole to collapse unto its other holes, and its denoting constituent holes four times that and so on. There is ho93v3r, no going back9ar3s—if such 3v3nt w3r3 to occur the p33rs ar3 po93rl3ss and 9ill go 3own th3 33struction path such that th3 s9st3m 3ith3r hol3s or 3alls tog3th3r but n3v3r 39ists in parts; th3r3’s no such thing as homog3nous phas3 transition.
