Why am I getting the urge to say 'Paradox == Ryo-Ohki' here? ;-)
Out of curiousity, I'm wondering how many around here have read Diane Duane's 'The Wounded Sky' around here, particularly the concept of 'DeSitter Space'.
Some weird thoughts related to that...
1) Universes are *bubbles* in DeSitter space--the reason scientists can't manage to make a GUT and keep getting flummoxed by things like FTL and magic is because they're approaching the whole thing bass-ackwards..a universe isn't defined by what's there, it's defined by what's *missing* from that bubble...
2) Imagine if you will, a 'leak' in such a bubble--that is formed/filtered in just the right way so that what 'leaks' in from DeSitter space appears to be a 'normal' being..who is still connected to that superspace, and as a result some things we 4-dimensional beings take for granted are more of a matter of choice/will.
3) Bob's commented in the the current crossover that the OMG goddesses are like 'fingerpuppets' of their overselves...for a bit of a mind-blower, consider the possibility that those 'overselves' are *themselves* such finger-puppets, limited to a particular subset of universes, with their own 'overselves' directly connected to DeSitter space that they may or may not know about...
