[Lore Theory] The Dark Zone and Mythus’s plan to bypass the Finality

I’ve been looking into the "Approaching Science: The Mysterious Dark Zone" readable, and it explains some fundamental physics of the Aether Network that link directly to Mythus the Enigmata.

The Aether as a Non Causal Substrate

The document states that the Aether is a higher-dimensional structure where the Second Law of Thermodynamics is reversed.

• Entropy decreases instead of increasing.

• Effect can precede cause.

• The constancy of the speed of light simply vanishes.

By making the cosmos dependent on this network, Mythus has integrated a layer of reality where "Truth" (which relies on cause and effect) cannot exist. If causality is broken at the network level, any information transmitted through it is fundamentally subject to the Enigmata.

Dark Zones: The Mechanism for Universe Rebirth

The text describes Dark Zones as unstable "black holes" within the Aether that harbor every possibility. It mentions a school of thought where a Dark Zone once reached the surface, causing the destruction and rebirth of the entire universe.

This suggests that Dark Zones aren't just anomalies; they are "possibility engines." When the universe moves toward a fixed state likely the Finality Mythus can theoretically use these zones to reset the cycle.

Mythus vs. Terminus

The document concludes with the idea that even after the Finality reaches its finale, Mythus could "reboot" the universe.

If Terminus the Finality represents a linear path toward an end, Mythus represents a circular one. By "sculpting" the universe into a form where they can intervene through the Aether, Mythus ensures that the end of time is never actually final. The Aether Network wasn't built by humans; it's a natural existence that Mythus uses to keep the universe in a state of perpetual, unresolved mystery.

Mythus uses the Aether’s reverse entropy and the Dark Zones' "possibilities" to act as a cosmic reset button, preventing the universe from ever reaching a definitive conclusion (The Finality).
