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:
“The same polarity of the male and female principle exists in nature; not only, as is obvious in animals and plants, but in the polarity of the two fundamental functions, that of receiving and penetrating. It is the polarity of earth and rain, of the river and the ocean, of night and day, of darkness and light, of matter and spirit.”
—Erich Fromm (1900–1980)
“During our twenties...we act toward the new adulthood the way sociologists tell us new waves of immigrants acted on becoming Americans: we adopt the host culture’s values in an exaggerated and rigid fashion until we can rethink them and make them our own. Our idea of what adults are and what we’re supposed to be is composed of outdated childhood concepts brought forward.”
—Roger Gould (20th century)
