Characters
- Due to the ambiguity as to what counts as an appearance and what merely a mention in an in-universe essay, where all who aren't the writer of the essay could be argued to be mentions or all who are mentioned could be argued to actually appear, this wiki has decided to opt for the latter position, for readers' use in lists of appearances and the like.

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