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:
“In a period of a people’s life that bears the designation “transitional,” the task of a thinking individual, of a sincere citizen of his country, is to go forward, despite the dirt and difficulty of the path, to go forward without losing from view even for a moment those fundamental ideals on which the entire existence of the society to which he belongs is built.”
—Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818–1883)
“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 Our idea of what adults are and what we’re supposed to be is composed of outdated childhood concepts brought forward.”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)
