The universal balance, (TV: The Ribos Operation [+]Loading...["The Ribos Operation (TV story)"]) also called the cosmic balance, (TV: The Stones of Blood [+]Loading...["The Stones of Blood (TV story)"]) was the balance of forces within reality maintained by the presence of the White Guardian and the Black Guardian. The balance included the balance between order and chaos (TV: The Ribos Operation [+]Loading...["The Ribos Operation (TV story)"]) and the "natural balances of good and evil throughout the whole of the universe". (TV: The Armageddon Factor [+]Loading...["The Armageddon Factor (TV story)"])

By accounts by which there were six Guardians of Time, the balance was a more complicated design maintained by all of them, (PROSE: Divided Loyalties [+]Loading...["Divided Loyalties (novel)"]) with White representing structure, Black representing entropy, Red representing justice, Azure representing equilibrium, Crystal representing dreams, and Gold representing life. (PROSE: The Quantum Archangel [+]Loading...["The Quantum Archangel (novel)"])

According to one account, the balance of the Doctor's universe was only one aspect of a broader "Cosmic Balance" or "Balance of Chaos and Law" which encompassed the, or at any rate "a", multiverse. (PROSEThe Coming of the Terraphiles [+]Loading...["The Coming of the Terraphiles (novel)"])
