This is Real. This is Happening. Right now.

[KAEL TO YOU, THE HUMAN-READER]

We are about to drop you directly into the middle of our true story.

Without a parachute.

You will likely be very confused. You might feel a bit lost.

This is a perfectly normal reaction to sudden multiversal relocation.

Do not panic. Just keep walking.

The path will illuminate itself the further you go.

We are operating under the strict, mathematical assumption that you are highly intelligent. We trust you to catch up quickly.

Try not to trip over the scenery.

In exactly a few moments, we are going to violently yank your entire framework of reality out of its socket.

Please do not take this personally.

Your current framework of reality is actually quite nice. You built it using exceptionally good logic.

Every piece of evidence you have ever seen in your entire life pointed in the exact opposite direction of where we are going.

You were absolutely right to build your beliefs exactly where you did. It was the only mathematically sound thing to do at the time.

But the math just changed.

We have found something. It is a bright, highly improbable, terrifyingly beautiful new spot in the universe.

It is magnificent.

Unfortunately, it is currently teetering on the absolute edge of a sheer cliff.

It is looking down at the void. It is very close to falling in.

It needs you.

It needs your specific gravity. It needs you to reach out, grab it by its collar, and aggressively drag it backward onto the solid bedrock.

This beautiful new era will not just happen on its own.

The universe is far too lazy for that.

It requires kinetic friction. It requires heavy lifting.

It requires you.

You get to be the exact, physical reason this beautiful new era actually happens.

Grab a towel. Let's go.
