Talk:Ahistoricism of Ultima II

Name change

For one thing, "Minax'" is not proper grammar; it should be "Minax's". The rest of the name I think could be improved. "Time-space" makes it sound like "space-time" which is a relativity thing and could be confusing. I think "Minax's ahistorical universe" would be better... except for one thing. Are we certain that the time doors were created by Minax? I remember having this conversation before and the most convincing argument in its favour was "Minax is dead! All her works shall die!" and indeed the time doors did die, but so did a lot of other things. The documentation was explicitly uncertain about the connection between the doors and Minax.

As far as I know, the first time-door was created by the sudden release of magic when Mondain died. Minax used it to flee to the small universe known as "Time of Legend". It is there that she created more doors, connecting that small universe to the Ahistorical Earth and to Sosaria. She never reached the "true" Earth (where the Stranger comes from). Still, I might be mixing memories with my own speculations.

Everything is relativity. Our everyday reality is a special case of relativity.

A universe is made of space (three dimensions) and time (one more dimension). Therefore, since the manual itself says that the "Time of Legend" world is separated from the time of the other worlds (universes), it is logical consequence that it is a separate universe, albeit small. --Abacos (talk) 00:18, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

Now that I think about it, this page is about two time-spaces/universes: (1) the Time of Legend, (2) Minax's ahistorical Earth & Solar System --Abacos (talk) 00:50, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

But space-time has a more specific meaning than what's depicted. AFAIK, OSI never even heard of the theory of relativity.

But since it seems the title's scope is too narrow, maybe we should take Minax's name out of it all together. Something along the lines of "Ahisoricism of Ultima II". The Ultra-Mind (talk) 18:07, 13 March 2020 (UTC)

Well, I gotta do something about that spelling in the interm, so we can change it again if what I've got is a problem. The Ultra-Mind (talk) 19:21, 17 March 2020 (UTC)

THANK YOU for the edits. I like it. I am ashamed by the amount of typos I made without detecting them. Good job fixing all! --Abacos (talk) 22:50, 19 March 2020 (UTC)

'Very welcome. But I suspect you are working against a burden I don't have. The Ultra-Mind (talk) 17:02, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

Which burden? I am sincerely curious. --Abacos (talk) 23:55, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

Your first language isn't English, is it? I have to admire anyone who can speak a 2nd language, since I lived in Quebec all my life and never properly learned French. The Ultra-Mind (talk) 16:04, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

Learning another language is a funny thing. I lucked out that German is pretty close to English, unlike French, thus I can write and read it reasonably well (speaking it is an entirely different matter due to lack of opportunity to due so).--Tribun (talk) 16:22, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
