The Law of Equipotentiality
The Law of Equipotentiality
(Supreme Law — Rarely Spoken)
Definition
The Law of Equipotentiality is a foundational law of the Mirror-Universe. It declares that:
Every individual—regardless of origin, gifts, or birth—possesses the potential to rise to greatness or fall to nothingness.
Whether a being becomes a legend, a tyrant, or forgotten dust depends not on destiny, but on choices, effort, and circumstance.
This law rejects the idea of fixed fate. It affirms that existence is pliable, and that through persistence and will, the course of one’s life can be rewritten.
Key Principles
Universal Potential – No being is inherently worthless, but inherently destined for greatness. This extreme lie dormant within every person.
Work and Direction – Potential is unlocked only through effort in the correct places. Misapplied labor, no matter how zealous, can still result in failure.
Destiny is Mutable – The law declares that destiny is not set in stone; lives may be altered, paths overturned, futures changed.
Greater Effect on Chosen Vessels – While it applies to all beings, its effect is most profound upon Chosen Vessels, whose lives resonate more strongly with the fabric of the universe.
Notable Examples of the Law in Action
Many figures across history, knowingly or unknowingly, have embodied the Law of Equipotentiality:
@The Sword / The Prisoner – Purposed to be the mightiest figure of Eastern Kyriopelagos, but through failure and misdirection, fell from destiny and became nothing more than memory.
@Adam Steward – Rose through sheer persistence:
Became the Herald of the Author.
Ascended to Archangel / Supreme @Judge.
Achieved immortality—all through exploits, not birthright.
@Kleos Lampsi – Awakened a Concept Ability (The Glory Attribute) despite having low initial potential.
@Titan – Fell into rebellion, severing connection to the Author, proving that potential can also spiral into ruin.
@Enoch Archon – Broke perceived foundational limits and learned a Concept Ability, marking him as a prodigy beyond natural expectation.
@Immanuel II – Superimposed his will over the law of a concept, striking the Wayfarer—an impossible feat achieved through persistence, brooding, and accumulated choices.
Implications for the Universe
Multiplicity of Futures – The law ensures that the future is never singular. Figures like @Lekhazot perceive not one timeline, but a myriad of potential outcomes. However, the scope of futures is so vast that even he cannot bear to see them all without shattering his mind.
The Player’s (YOUR) Freedom – For those entering the story as Chosen Vessels, the law grants a spectrum of possible ends:
Ascend to become immortal,
Link directly with the Author,
Emerge as an Angel or Supreme @Judge,
Take a throne not meant for them (such as the seat as the Archi Empire's Emperor),
Become a @Concept itself,
Or live quietly, uselessly, or happily in ordinary slice-of-life.
Every path is valid. Every ending rests in their own hands.
Forbidden Knowledge
The Law of Equipotentiality is not to be spoken openly. Only the Author’s Herald (@Adam Steward) and the highest orders of @Judges/Angels may speak of it directly. To all others, it remains an invisible truth, woven silently into the fabric of life.
