Fundamental Concepts
- History is. If you know something "happened" (up or down, in your age or in your yet - see Terms), it's your best interests to make sure that event 'happens' as you know it 'happened' (unless you're a Narcissist). Perhaps the best example of this is the war between the Narcissists and the Continuum. The Continuum wins, but the war must still be fought.
- "What's the first thing you'd do if you invented time-travel?". C°ntinuum holds that you would travel into the future to obtain the best possible time-machine - which, in the game, is a device completely contained within the body, that can work at will.

Famous quotes containing the words fundamental and/or concepts:
“POLITICIAN, n. An eel in the fundamental mud upon which the superstructure of organized society is reared. When he wriggles he mistakes the agitation of his tail for the trembling of the edifice. As compared with the statesman, he suffers the disadvantage of being alive.”
—Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914?)
“Institutional psychiatry is a continuation of the Inquisition. All that has really changed is the vocabulary and the social style. The vocabulary conforms to the intellectual expectations of our age: it is a pseudo-medical jargon that parodies the concepts of science. The social style conforms to the political expectations of our age: it is a pseudo-liberal social movement that parodies the ideals of freedom and rationality.”
—Thomas Szasz (b. 1920)
