Cosmai Structure: The Nature of Reality

The Cosmai is a simplified structure of how realities exist and interact. It is the reason why different realities have different laws and different structures of said laws—how physics can be different from one place to another. It is why one power in one reality will not work in a different reality. It is why causality, time, etc. in one reality is different from mirroring concepts is different in another. It is a web of conjoint realities on various scales and such realities are even carried by entities outside of the reality’s domain.

The Five Determinations: Actuality – Concept – Reality – Integrity – Culture

Chain – The chain is the order of collective realities and the order of their scale.

Dom-system – Ascending in the ‘chain.’

Sub-system – Descending in the ‘chain.’

Materternal-Aedict

The “center” of which all realities and chains “gravitate.” It is the perceptively impossible “end.”

— Actuality —

Actuality is the state of existence and influence. The fundamental base of which all are formed, all are made, and all interact. “Heart.”

Syn: Self

— Concept —

Concept is a unit of fundamental principle and abstraction. It is the free threads from actuality that can alter, transform, and generate actualities and realities. “Branch.”

Syn: Organ

— Reality —

Reality is the fabric of existence. It is the grouping, the arrangement, of how actualities and concepts exist within, such as laws of physics. This applies to its carriers, its children should they leave. “Body.”

Syn: Nature

Reality’s internal form includes:

Energy – Outside of being the motion of cause and effect, the resolution of contradictions, it is also composed of different actuality types that can permeate, shape, and reform realities. Multiple energies can compose realities, and such energies include mana, chi, psionic (psi), and entau.
Truthpaths – Truthpaths and similar realities may fuse themselves into others, becoming a part of the fabric. Truthpaths may form entire realities and even energy, those formed from them are labeled as truthborn. “Symbiosis.”

— Integrity —

Integrity is the ability of which reality, actualities, and its concepts, exist, and how they exist. Let alone how they react to different realities. “Health.”

Syn: Infinity

Integrity’s internal form includes:

Adaptability – The ability to deviate. How the formation of reality can deviate from its primary creation. “Defense.”
Scale – The ability of continuity. The extent of how reality can manifest the different existences of realities such as actualities that can be considered, by that reality’s standards, “impossible” or “inconceivable.” “Defense.”
Depth – The ability of reaction. What can be created in or from the reality through the intermingling of its actualities and concepts, and therefore exist. “Defense.”
Assimilation – The ability of alignment. What similar concepts can meet and equate without conflict.

— Culture —

Culture is the relational feedback between actualities, concepts, and realities. “Creation.”

Syn: Eternity

Culture internal form includes:

Parallels – Similarities that allow other realities to co-exist. “Power.”
Differences – Differences that can cause other realities to clash and “fight” each other. “Power.’
Synergy – The combination of differences and parallels that can allow something else to form, like a much stronger reality or extension. “Power.”
Breakdown – The destruction of differences and parallels that may cause something else to form as a result or side-effect or an end. “Power.”

OveReality

The overarching reality that connects other realities.

False Reality

A fleeting reality whose existence is only temporary by the truth of the realities that compose it and encompass it.

Frequency

Frequency is a pattern of reality alignment and a visual of reality’s integrity, it allows entities within to experience more or less the nuances and complexity of conceptual laws. These nuances are the weight and governance of the natural conceptual laws of reality, such as its physics, that alter the experiences of native entities. In high frequency realities, the conceptual laws hold more weight and therefore more of its complexity is perceived. In low frequency realities, those within tend to skim or glaze over the conceptual laws, leading to less complexity than a high frequency reality despite having the same concepts.

The complexity and nuances by frequency determine the level and scale of the conceptual experiences, such as its magicks. This entails that various concepts, such as magic, in low frequency realities can be experienced on a greater scale due to their less complexity. In high frequency realities, it tends to be more rare or difficult for such a possibility. However, the concepts of a low frequency reality are generally weaker if native entities were to face reality with a higher frequency. This applies to every concept of an entity, from strength to even the state of their existence.

Example: if a magic user were to move to a higher frequency reality, the change of complexity weakens their magicks but nonetheless still experiences magic. It is the transference to the higher frequency that allows them to hone their magic to a much greater height since they can now work and study with greater detail of nuanced complexity.

Dichotomy of Faith

Holy and unholy aren’t necessarily light and darkness but instead about oppositions. For example, Life Force is an essence that exists in many forms, only given meaning by specific points of view and those who conceptualize it. Following the set form of ‘life force’, the definitions of unlife, death, or other states of being are given meaning. However, Life Force is often centralized around beings of flesh and blood, or organic beings, fuelled by naturally occurring energy.

Example: Artifacts of unholy power can be deemed holy to specific faiths.

Holy

A wide spectrum that is often composed of divine magic and miracle magic rotating around belief, life forces, and distillation. By focusing arcane energy into belief, faith, and willpower can it be made manifest. Holy power is not necessarily reliant on deity-like entities or concepts receiving the faith, but it can be.

Unholy

Divine magic and miracle magic turned to the conviction of opposition, it is the transference of destruction or life force into death, unlife, or other states of being. Arcane energy is channeled into the faith of antagonizing unbelief as well as manipulating, twisting, and changing life forces.

Energies of Creation

Energies are motions of cause and effect, the resolution of contradictory, opposing forces and thus the creative forces of action and change formed in countless ways. They can be naturally generated in and from realities, created through cosmic actions or even by the natural evolution of animals and peoples. They are perpetual forces of creation and change that permeate realities, aiding in shaping the realities, their dimensions, their multiverses, and even reshaping themselves. Through this, they can be referred to as magical energy.

The ability to use energy varies from entity to entity, wide with many possibilities. For example, those who use energy may not generate it and instead use the energy around them. Another situation would be those who are not born with the ability but can potentially develop it. Ability development has an infinite amount of esoteric ways, but even then only a few ways or none may work depending on the knowledge and local reality. For those who are natural conduits and generators of energy, there is another case.

Some entities, whether it be rare or common, are natural conduits and generators of energy. Despite being a conduit or generator, it doesn’t mean they can use the energy. However, their actions, emotions, and beliefs emanate the ability to create, especially when done collectively en masse. This applies to desires, rumors, and traditions. By this, depending on the reality, it can birth spirits, whether fae, demon, or angel and the alike.

Examples of energy:

Entau / All-Sum – Common association: Energy of stellar life

Mana – Common association: Energy of the heart

Chi – Common association: Energy of the body

Psionic (psi) – Common association: Energy of the mind

Triusli – Common association: Energy of projection

Fractal Infinitum

The primal generation of realities from similar formations. It is the manifestation of realities being created from the energy released from cause and effect, along with its constant deviation. It is how worlds can be similar or familiar, along with their natures and folk. It is how humans can be formed in different worlds, universes, and dimensions. Even histories can be mirroring, such as equivalent nations and systems. While there may be similarities, there are all atomically different and still plenty of differences that can set themselves apart and isn’t a uniform generation. The histories of earths can be completely different, and yet it isn’t limited to just earth. The fractal infinitum is a kaleidoscopic, infinite generation of multiuniversal possibilities filled with elements that may be analogous.

Time

A relative measurement that functions as the projection of colliding oppositions, a contradiction, creating the cause and effect of all material things, rather than a concrete thing that can be warped. The sequences and pace of cause and effect can be altered, but scale is a factor. As such, there are different levels of time interacting with each other, and—always—an overarching, never-ending, and unbound causal graph. The causal graph is the total, ever-changing composition of all cause-and-effect under it, and is subject to higher-level layers that are just the same interactions on wider scales. For example, the individual entities that embody gravity time dilation are subject to an overarching flow of time that is the totality of all their interactions—the qualitative of their quantitative accumulation of experiences. Time is subordinate to reality, as reality is a material thing.

Immaterial concepts like souls, ideas, and thoughts are material in themselves, changing and evolving, even when they seem static. They are composed of a form of energy, a material field at a subatomic scale encoded with contradictory states equatable to stored memory—a preserved cause and effect. They exist in different forms, such as frequency and wavelength, that require the right conditions to take shape.

Time, as a concept, is a very limited thing. If it exists beyond the concept of sequences and causality, such as a metaphysical power that pretends to exist outside causality, it weakens the reality’s ability to interact in a normal way and causes a causal dissonance, and a rebound if the surrounding sequence does not match. To change it requires changing how cause and effect occur.

A known universe is a shapeless ring: a loop that can change—a big bang and a big crunch—therefore the sequence of time is a loop between the relative beginning and end of all things. Each and every moment of an atom in a loop, cause and effect, releases energy and changes. This energy is like radiation and mass propagation, and creates potential of new loops like alternative universes and multiverses. The loop composition always changes, meaning where two moments seem exactly alike, they are not as they are not the same materials. When this radiation interacts with reality, it can mutate to change what is and form divergent alternate timelines—timelines that are just the change of cause and effect.

Everything has energy in some form: space always has energy in it, matter is a concentrated form of energy, etc. Everything is the subject of cause and effect, the resolution of contradictions, and therefore, since space and reality are always in motion as endless cause and effect of contradictions, infinite energy exists. It is always in some different form or way with a unique, carrying signature made from its experiences, the resolutions—qualitative change arising from quantitative accumulations.

Different timelines are especially possible, in addition to the mutation of cause and effect through energy, because time is an ever-evolving measurement of the actions where different realities interact and change. Time is at the mercy of the cause and effect of realities.

If time—the sequences—are reversed, the scale matters and the sheer input energy. For example, a local area’s time can be reversed, but everywhere outside of the local area will continue on. It can cause a cascade of issues, such as collision of forward time and time reversal if the locality isn’t isolated into its own bubble. Reversing time for a solar system and beyond is possible, but it requires, at the bare minimum, the required amount of aligned energy to trigger a new cascade of contradictions, cause and effect, that acts as the historical reversal—such as energy based on how far back and energy to manipulate the cause and effect. However, in the end, it is still not exactly the same in material terms.

Deviating from causality, such as existing outside of an area of time, means developing a new causality sequence. There is no existing outside of cause and effect.

The constant creation and evolution of realities interacting with one another make static timelessness truly impossible. Even if entities may reach a state that seems as such, cause and effect is always in motion, no matter how slow.

Historic Future

Historic Future is the material analysis of time to be and before by the interactions of all rooting concepts. It is the reading of all material reality—past, present, and future—and all its countless layers. It is the memory of all things, the cause and effect, and therefore what they’ve been through, and their history of interactions, that is channeled into a relative projection through sheer prediction down to the smallest detail. Each particle, each atom, each minuscule facet, their interactions, the projected resolution of their contradiction, and their nature are taken into account to tell the history and future. However, with cause and effect being ever-changing, especially with realities, internal and external, all interacting and evolving, it can only be so accurate with plenty of uncertainties. Since the material analysis is an action in itself, it lends a cause and effect that can change the outcome.

Magic

Magic is a conceptual state of productive energy. Magic takes different forms based on where and how they originate, such as mana energy and psionic energy. This leads to countless systems harnessing it and ways magic reacts to different realities. Magic is boundless in its possibilities, able to change and alter realities, all dependent on its users.

Energy flows through different realities with various influences. It can have a mutative influence that can alter physics, thus creating laws that affect itself and potentially enable magic. This means that energy works with nature and to form new laws, established through the myriad paths of its changes, while in turn influencing the nature of reality and its creation.

Nature, touched by magic, may turn into channels that turn energy into their version of chaos and order. Conceptual aspects of nature, from plants, instinctual animals, skies, earths, stars, and more, may turn into filtering channels of power. These filtering channels often soothe destructive magical energy, bringing harmony and beneficial chaos. This harmony and chaos bring stability to the natural world, physical and metaphysical, and allow it to affect the evolutionary path of entities. All the natural magical formations may gain specific properties leading to many potential reactions, such as herbalism and alchemy. Inanimate objects

Types of magic

This is a simple list of examples of the types of magic that can exist and their short explanations.

Arcane – Flexible system of fundamental creation through pure energy, it can transfer between magical forms. It exists as much as a science. Arcane magic is the interworking base of which can form other magics through its actions and reactions. It is the essence of pure logic, or the absence of it, in the form of magic.

Cosmic – Connection to the essence of universal totality with the flow of the stars and other stellar phenomenon. The conjuring of conceptual power from stellar phenomenon, from their mere existence and beyond to the unseen. The undying breakdown of arcane that warps and shapes it.

Angelic – Magics birthed to the order of creation and emotions, stability and control. A form of magic that exists in many ways such as the creation of harmonious good they believe in or to the visionary evil of universal domination that they perceive as good.

Demonic – Magics birthed to the chaos of creation and emotions, action and expression. A malleable representation that can be the tool of freedom as the punishment of evils or to the existence of pure antagonistic evil of all things.

Divine – Magics bestowed by gathering the magical essences or power of others, especially faith. Others are commonly great and powerful spirits, gods, and even philosophical concepts, that synthesize energies to their own creation. Faith and alignment.

Dream – Magics born from imagination, the manifest of creation and boundless possibilities free from common logics.

Luck – The alignment of fate in accordance with the colliding flow of all existing energies, rearranging all the different environmental conditions to the favored outcome of the user.

Miracle – The call of sheer emotions, willpower of belief, and resolve that harnesses the energies of the heart, body, soul, and the surrounding environment like the magic of luck. The resolve of belief and wishes, powered by energy, allows miracles to change reality and fate by causing an influence that forces material conditions to realign how they can.

Nature – Connection to the natural flow of reality, from its chaos and order and its preservation and transformation. It harnesses the magical conduits of hearts that give all natural things shape, borrowing their conceptual form. Such hearts of nature are the aspects of animals, the life of plants and fungi, the sentient spiritualism formed by fire, water, earth, and the alike.

Sentient-kin / Kin-folk / Ancestry / Heritage

Collective group of related entities, similar to species or race.

Shattering: Death and Rebirth

Death, and its perception. Shattering is the breaking and permeation of the self on many physical levels of existence besides the esoteric concept of the “soul” into a different state of transcendent matter, like dark matter. The soul itself is a state of matter: they are composed of a form of energy, a material field at a subatomic scale, encoded with a preserved cause and effect: memory of being. They exist in different forms, such as frequency and wavelength, that require the right conditions to take shape. It is the spread of the self’s dreams, imagination, mind, and memories across infinite realities, much like seeds or spores, caused by the cusp of the self’s perceived end. That means the spreading influence and resulting births are not inherently done by the self’s complete death. The shattering flows and works with all creations across the infinite, fractalizing, and interacting realities, leading to reshaping changes and reincarnations—but as always, never exactly the same. Even if someone resurrected, post-shattering, with only a few of their fractional pieces, that does not mean they are not whole, and the shattering carries on regardless. With the return by resurrection, the self is anew and may shatter like before. Memories may carry on with the entity’s end.

For a visual, imagine a mushroom exploding spores, and those spores are scattered across the world.

Truthpaths

Truthpaths are realities as cosmic philosophical paths that lead to their manifest perpetuation, recreation, and rebirths, by conducting them. Acting them out results in the permeation of the truthpath’s esoteric forms, especially when implemented in other realities in an effective, working manner. It is the transcendency beyond gods, where gods of endless dimensions and multiverses are even seen as temporary. The truthpath is practically eternal in its wide band of influence. The truthpath is the labyrinth of ways and tenets that can lead to countless possibilities.

The truthborn is an existence’s absolute makeup from within the material conditions of a truthpath, where everything made and remade within the truthpath’s reality and its derivatives are made of it. The truthborn is the truthpath’s reality manifested. The truth of the truthpath constitute every single minimum aspect, the basic structure, of reality.

Cosmic Creations

Antys

The Antys are cosmic pathways that unite planets and worlds, allowing their inhabitants to use multiple paths of reaching other solar systems and cosmic places without the need for portals. Within the antys, the concepts of speed, space, time, and distance are altered but also varied based on locations in the antys. The antys take many forms, such as the skyantys, a great sky with an ever-stretching atmosphere, and the oceantys, whose great waters ebb and flow throughout solar systems, which can be surfed with flyers and ships. The composition of such forms varies, especially from place to place, meaning that some of it is incapable of being traversed or is uninhabitable. The antys do have ecosystems. Antys Worlds are enormous paths that combine land, water, air and space into a shifting whole.

It is rife with magic, especially arcane mana that creates whole self-sustaining, self-perpetuating ecosystems. It also runs on energy such as radiant and kinetic energy, thus it’s fed by stars and cosmic movements.

Antys Lanes | Archway

A miniature form of an Antys that is smaller and/or connects two relatively shorter distances.

Arkweald – Sunless Sea

The Arkweald is a land of wild magic that creates magic by how everything lives within, whether it’s photosynthesis, reproduction, living there, feeding it, or even just interacting with it that can be simultaneously world-ending. It is a self-sufficient and self-perpetuating ecosystem that can expand. It is the essence of boundless nature that makes specific large-scale societal and technological progress difficult. Not to mention magic allowing relative convenience that stunts progression. The Sunless Sea is the oceanic equivalent.

Elemental Ruptures

A swelling of magic energy that causes a terraforming geological phenomenon. It is a burst, a cascade, that creates metals such as iron, gold, copper, and tin, along with arcane elements such as air, earth, fire, wind, and water. It can restore the environment and its resources, while also creating unstable elemental forces that attack. Magic infuses the resources, creating a sort of arcane, constellation-like alignment that allows many different properties to exist.

Cosmoweave

The inner dimensions and multiverses of a broader dimension and multiverse. An example is the intersecting dimensions and multiverses within the fabric of Sarra Vy.
