The story reception of Innocent Rules isn't favorable!? Incredible! After internalizing it and thinking over it for over 20 hours, I knelt down in the nude, completely naked, at the brilliance of Hakika. At least for 3 minutes straight. It was the apotheosis at breaking down the mechanisms through which Ordowald operates in, for the entire game is a reflection exploring the attempt to anyway recreate it artificially, hence the cocooned lands, which is a good name extremely relevant to Tahati's speciality, and upon whose speculation the eventual outcome for the entire series is foreseeable. Without the insights of Kaamos, Ino, and Tahati, this wouldn't have been possible. Versa's existence was something I understood only after its completion... and Ino is truly great. My favorite part was in the written construction of a narrative resolution taken from the perspective of quantum superposition through observatory interception in order to connect separate dimensions. I mean, I didn't expect to think about the observer effect while masturbating.
Tahati is a magician specialized in light magic, and was through it trying to create a portal into Ordowald. The initial assurance she gave Kaamos in telling her there's an easy way out was under the assumption she could enact the observation effect purely independently. She's a genius in light, and therefore probably knew of the wave-particle duality of light itself. However, her genius was useless here because the foundation of a potential portal to send away isn't in interference to create yet another wave, but in creating a collapse itself. I thought she could essentially act as the sole observer throughout the whole X->Y | Y<-X parallelism, however realized it wouldn't work as she'd be conscious of the entire activity. Maybe she could split her consciousness in two, and prevent the duplicate from having any knowledge in anything, but it'd still share a relation to what spawned it, so that wouldn't work. After innumerable trial, it probably dawned on her that orchestrating a quantum collapse is beyond her ability, but in her pride as a genius magician, she was reluctant to admit it. Until, of course, Kaamos choked it out of her.
The reason she's able to bring individuals into Parlates and not send them out is a limitation of her light magic, or rather light itself. By light acting as wave, it could pass through any barrier, even dimensional, and any person transported while they themselves temporarily became light would re-materialize on the other side fine. Through superposition, she'd be taking a 1 from Ordowald, and placing it in the 0 of Parlates. But to do the opposite isn't feasible under quantum restriction. You need an outsider outside existence itself. The MC of the previous games, however, qualifies, for he exists beyond the framework of space and time, of everything, and therefore was truly the only candidate capable of practically omniscient observation. It's good that Hakika created an impetus for this, and didn't just randomly throw it in, as evident by the Schrödinger superposition dream blowjob from Asylum, in which he did and did not get his dick sucked by Malice, Versa and team. The meeting of interference determining wave or particle always ensures a particle so long as the activity is measured. What Tahati did to send Kaamos back at the end of the game, is simply a recreation in trying to return Kaamos as she always did, but the spin was that, as now somebody was watchful of the entire act, it was forced to become clear that the particle (1) going through its opening, did not previously cross through any other, and therefore the whole logic that transported whoever into Parlates was flipped, creating an outcome whereby they were never transported at all. In other words, it prevents the 1, the particle, from ever being a wave. It wasn't 1 -> 0 and then 0 -> 1, but 1 -> 1. Observation didn't create an anchor like a gateway, it was only an eliminator. In a way, they really used the MC to cheat reality itself by using his existence to deny everything. You could also say, that, the MC, examining two different realities, allowed a state of superposition to occupy a greater scope, and not confined only to its reality. Tahati can basically travel anywhere throughout anything by the influence of light, and light can travel anywhere through anything as long as there's domain permitting it so. By acknowledging the existence of MC as in the world, the world ceded its status as uniquely Parlates, and became a Parlates Ordowald. It was both Parlates and Ordowald at the same time, therefore light was allowed to travel everywhere, and quantum superposition could act outside its framework. That being said, he was then basically an anchor. Tahati could now move through everything, as the cat was neither not entirely dead, and not not entirely alive.
Measurement (observation) creates a collapse into one single state. Hakika was alluding to this throughout the game as early as when the sorcerer woman stated that while insanity creates darkness, so does darkness create insanity. Just as light is a particle, so too is it a wave. Left alone, the light remains wave. Left alone, the darkness remains darkness. Intercepted, it becomes particle, and intercepted (interacted), it becomes insanity. Every character splitting their being into two states within which one was bereft of depression, and the other full only of it, was an allusion to this point too. It's a most central concern, a motif of the game, all the more when Ino as an observer was addressed to intercept (observe) it. Actually, the splitting of being wasn't something I think any of the cast was capable of without Ino's involvement, and of course, wouldn't you know it, he's a master of light magic too. A candidate of a lord of reason.
Tahati's genius was pretty incredible in coming to realize all this herself, in a world where quantum physics doesn't exist. As expected of a being from the era of myth.
Idea, as another individual from either the dark ages or the era of myth, controls alternating states much the same.
Ino and Fiede. Light and Dark. Particle and Wave.
I'm certain she'll return as I'm sure Hakika must have an attachment to her. Wish I could say the same for the other lords of reason. I've got no clue.
My only grievance was Fiede, specifically how she'd sometimes talk in the way she does, y'know. The -
"For real?" "It do be like that" Definitely zoomer-ish. Kind of a pain.
Well, anyway, qudere looks like he has the most massive game until now to translate. Will it come out before EOY... who knows.
