“It seems that they existed in some sort⟳ of previous incarnation of our universe, and use⟳ abstract terms to describe⟳ their existence, such as "feeding on concepts". They prepared for some sort⟳ of ascension, but then the Pattern came, which they describe⟳ at first as an all-consuming emptiness, elaborating by saying that anything that passed into it was torn asunder, subjected to a set⟳ of principles and order⟳ that grinds things down to nothing, in a process⟳ of which entropy is just one part.”
