The symmetry between time and space. I.e., time is just another spacelike
dimension on one side of the break, and seems like Time (big T) on this side.
I was assuming that the Compromise wasn't a post-event explanation of a
spontaneous symmetry breaking, though I imagine that the Westerners will

arrived at, yet, in all four (or more) dimensions. Yet, if Chaos
doesn't interfere, they can see it from a long distance in the time
dimension, as well as the space dimension (as we can, now).
(Wow! This has the added attraction of explaining why the participants
of I Fought We Won start off unable to see anyone else, as the Chaos
was preventing even normal sight from working over more than a few yards.
And I just thought of it now! Thanks, folks)
On this side of the break, everything is close to RW-ordinary, if one
neglects the effects of HeroQesting. One big "if", granted.
BTW: My impression of HeroQuesting is that it can function like traveling
on the Highway, and getting off at unmarked exits, in Roger Zelazny's
Roadmarks. Is this anywhere near accurate, or have the dragons in the book
just acted as a red herring? Anyone?

David Weihe - I'm not an Outer Atomic Explorer, but if this goes on, I
may end up playing one on the digest. Well, after months of reading all
the Post-Modernist, Deconstructionist, Structuralist, commentary here
from people with evidence that I can't get, let alone have, or have read,
it is rather nice to get one back. :-)
