The Knowledge Fragmentation Principle

No region of the Everloop — not even the Luminous Fold (Civilisation) — holds total truth. Each region preserves an understanding that is valid but incomplete, shaped by the climate, instabilities, and rhythms it lives within. The principle, slowly accepted by the Fold's more honest Archivists, is that reality is distributed rather than centralised: any account of the world that erases the others is, by definition, a forgery. It is the philosophical companion to the Attunement System and the antidote to the Fold's structural certainty; Archael Viremont's late journals treat it as the lesson the Vaultkeeper tradition was always meant to arrive at. The Loosening and Time Instability are the two phenomena that demonstrate the principle most plainly: every region is right about itself and wrong about the rest.
