No god can enter Kupopolis? Chrystalis sort of lived there for a while. Also, Kupopolis is only the physical center of the Web. The metaphysical center is the Place Which is No More. --Aurora 05:16, 30 September 2006 (CDT)
- These days, at least according to the cosmology agreed on by the most people, I think that Source is the metaphysical center of the web. --JD 17:26, 30 September 2006 (CDT)
- Yeah, its a little different then what you remembered, we generally adopt a more ontological approach. I always saw the Place Which Is No More as some sort of intangible place outside of existence (like in some ontological arguments the place where god is before there was a god), and Source being a gateway to that place. So Jerry pretty much is right when he says Source is metaphysical center, since its the last place where things have any semblance to physicality. --Michael 17:45, 30 September 2006 (CDT)
- Well, my 2¢:
- "Source", as a region in Aryth, is likely a derivation from my early declaration (as part of the original Web Dimensional Theory writeup that brought in space travel) that Aryth, as a dimension, was the Web's "Source" dimension, where all the mana-based strands spread out from (which was initially an explanation why you couldn't get there via space travel, because all the strand-flows were exiting the Dimension, but I'm not sure what the consensus is on that now). Assuming this is the case, Source is then just the... well, source of the Web's rivers of Mana (ley lines, strands, whatever nomenclature you prefer).
- However, the Place That Is No More has a history in the story of having no small amount of metaphysical importance -- and it is more or less Aurora's province. I don't think it's so much intangible as simply a step removed from the physical realm of the Kupopolis storyline.
- Regardless, I think nobody is really wrong here. Source is Source, the Place Which Is No More is the Place Which Is No More, and "center" of the universe is where ever I happen to be standing at a given point in time or space. --Scen 20:01, 30 September 2006 (CDT)
- Works for me. Another way I always see APWINM is as a place where human beings can't percieve; to steal that string threory scientst's analogy, its like being a fish trying to figure out what is beyond the pond. --Michael 22:58, 30 September 2006 (CDT)
