The game gives us enough breadcrumps to piece together a cosmological theory. We don't have to create our own threads to follow. We can theorize based on the script. This is my attempt, based on things that happen in the game. I won't say that I'm correct but I think my proposition has a solid foundation and I welcome any discussion on my analysis of the written word. 0.95 was a huge lore dump and after 500 pages we still feel the aftereffects.
What I understand from this quote is this:
That's the Eye saying that his surroundings are born from him and part of him. The Eye is the Arbiter of Matter, his children are Body (Mass) and Memory (Structure). He is the one who created everything that the inhabitants of this universe can touch.
So the implication is that any matter that exists in the game, a common rock or a biological organism, is built from something that he created. But why does it suffocate him? Because following the logic that I will explain later, he is only the matter, not the purpose. He does not decide what others will make of his creations.
The rock, the cave, the tree, the human, are creations of another Arbiter, probably the one associated with Creation (6th Arbiter)
This feed into the good old theory that the Arbiters are the creators of the universe. Aglaecwif hints at it,
The only rational thought I can make here is that Aglaecwif refers to Jake. He fits the description perfectly so it's a fairly safe assumption.
Jake is the spawn of Authority. So if Jake is to inherit Order, it means that it's connected to the First Arbiter.
Now we can create a cosmological theory of the universe:
The First is hinted to be the one that determines the laws of the universe.
The Second is hinted to be the creator of all matter.
And the other Origins affect their respective portfolio.
This also allows us to theorize why Superhumans are capable of impossible feats. If Order is a power, then it can be countered, nullified or overwhelmed.
So to summarize:
There exist very strong indications that everything in the universe is the result of Divine Beings (Arbiters) applying their power.
This means that this Universe wasn't created from a Big Bang or some process that we can conceptualize scientifically, but from some sort of Magic. This Magic created EVERYTHING in this Universe.
The notion is fairly similar to the religious cosmological ideas, but I won't open this can of worms.
-- This is not a fact, it's an assumption. An educated one but an assumption none the less. It may turn out to be wrong so I don't claim correctness, I just claim that opposing opinions need to account for the information found in these quotes.
Now I don't know how various people define mundane, but the simple truth is that
if literally every existing object is magical, then no object is magical.
So I define the
process by which everything was created as magical and the
effects of these processes as mundane.
If something which is supposed to be mundane, doesn't behave as expected, then it seems that some magical process is involved to alter it or "enchant" it but we can't assume that it changes it's fundamental qualities unless explicitly stated.
