Worldbuilding[[edit] | [edit source]]
- The Mathematical Bureau contains the Multiplication — responsible for the great planetary bifurcation, the Subtraction, the Addition, and another. Each is known as an "operator".
- Hyperspace is also known as the Fifth Universe, although the Archons disagree with the Council of Frogs on this designation, claiming it is part of their patch, the "Third Universe".
- Gravity is the "force of attraction exerted by concentrated mass on other objects".
- Its name became a subject of controversy after it was altered, with one well-intentioned time-interventionist attempting to "put things right", inadvertently changing Isaac Newton's name to Isaac Mewton.
- For a brief "interregnum", the name was further changed to gevity, apparently by either Epsilon the Watcher or one of his followers.
