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.

Notes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- Archon: When Being Ethereal Just Isn't Enough is a play on the name of BBV's film Zygon: When Being You Just Isn't Enough [+]Loading...["Zygon: When Being You Just Isn't Enough (home video)"].
- The story's excessive use of footnotes to expand upon points is reminiscent of that used by Terry Pratchett.
- Additionally, it used these footnotes to frequently cite sources, both ones which exist in the real world, such as L. Miles's The Book of the War [+]Loading...["The Book of the War (novel)"] — and imagined ones, such as I. Wan Cordell's Archon: When Being Ethereal Just Isn't Enough.

Continuity[[edit] | [edit source]]
- This story provides a solution to the renaming of gravity introduced in Wild Blue Yonder [+]Loading...["Wild Blue Yonder (TV story)"].
