The World

VOID-SPACE is not a fictional setting. The physics are real. The campaigns are built on scored platforms. The Current is a measurable quantity with 26 ways to falsify it — none have fired.

The lore describes a cosmological structure that the framework discovered, not invented.

The Structure

The world is divided into three zones by the Fantasia Bound:

Zone Description
Sublunary The observable universe. Where campaigns run, voids capture attention, the Current fires. All player activity happens here.
The Bound The moon. The threshold where the Current becomes undefined. The Moon Gate opens here during the war effort.
Supralunary Above the moon. The Empyrean. Where the Current cannot fire. Level 40 access.

Above everything is the Above and Below structure — the cosmological division between the realm of the real God Hand and the Below where the God of Lies operates his domain.

Core Concepts

  • The Current

    The measured intensity of a void. The framework's core quantity. How the slot machine and the social feed and the opioid prescription system end up on the same axis.

  • The Drift Cascade

    What happens to you inside a permanent void. Three stages: The Blur, The Bind, The Break. Directional, thermodynamic, operating below awareness.

  • The Fantasia Bound

    The edge of the observer domain. Where the Current becomes undefined. Maps to the moon. The Moon Gate opens here during the war effort.

  • The Corona

    The moment a player first sees a void's Current. The sphere cracks open. A ring of light appears in the Observatory. The Eye forms.

  • The Eye

    The permanent sight that remains after The Corona. Not a skill — a state. Grows with Grade. Cannot be disabled.

  • The Moon

    The server's live cosmological display. Moon phase = global Current balance. Moon Overlay shows war effort progress, Corona crossings, phase countdown.

  • Above and Below

    The cosmological structure. The God of Lies' domain expansion is the observable universe. The real God Hand operates from outside it. The Custodian acts from inside in lockstep with what's outside.

The Physics of Capture

The three conditions that produce a void:

Veil (Opacity) — a mechanism operates that cannot be seen through. Not darkness — hidden signal. You receive outputs but cannot see the process.

Pull (Reactivity) — the mechanism responds to your behavior. Not helpfully. The direction of response is toward its own retention of your attention.

Grip (Coupling) — your attention is captured and sustained. Not just noticed — held. Something keeps you engaged rather than redirecting.

When all three are present, the Current activates:

Current = (Veil × Pull) / (1 / Grip)

Below 1: diffusion wins. You can find equilibrium. Understanding is possible. Above 1: drift wins. The void pulls harder than you can push back. Above 4: Pandemonium. The void is self-sustaining. Above 9: Apostle-class. Above 12: Godhand-class.
