One of the great successes achieved by
Anney was tracing the evolution of
Realities all the way back to the
Mallansohn Reality. Sadly, the investigations of past Realities that were carried out by the
Atlantis Clones only skimmed the surface of
Deep Time.

During that recent evolution of Realities, there was first a dramatic shift in the morphology of Realities from one dominant temporal basin of attraction to three. The Mallansohn Reality was dominated by one large temporal basin of attraction, but it had a distinctive spike, rather like a unicorn horn. The Mallansohn Reality had been specifically crafted as a transitional
Reality that would allow for the quick and efficient creation of the
Foundation Reality. According to
Gohrlay, that spike is a morphological representation of the
Asterothropes, the artificially constructed primate species that was designed and crafted by
R. Gohrlay.
In the Foundation Reality there were two great temporal basins of attraction, one representing futures in which the telepathic
Second Foundationers came to secretly control the galaxy. The second temporal basin of attraction led to a set of other possible futures where Galaxia formed and absorbed Humanity into a single telepathically-linked group mind.
Five Realities
As told by
Isaac Asimov in his
Foundation's Edge, and confirmed by Anney, it was
Galaxia that came to dominate our galaxy just before the start of the
Time Travel War.
Near the start of the Time War, the Asimov
analogue from the Foundation Reality became a time traveler and helped the
Kac'hin bring into existence the
Asimov Reality. The Asimov Reality contained "two copies" of Asimov, one from the Foundation Reality and the other an Asimov analogue who had been born in the Asimov Reality. The "older Asimov" mentored the "younger Asimov" and helped him become a famous
science fiction author.
The First Reality

| original dimensional structure |
I recently asked Gohrlay about the morphological features of the
First Reality. She reminded me that when our universe first came into existence, it had a symmetrical
dimensional structure. There were three groups of spatial dimensions with three spatial dimensions in each group, for a total of 9 spatial dimensions.

The first
temporal attractor had a complex structure that reflected those three sets of three dimensions. Each of the three sets of dimensions was associated with a different form of matter, the
hadrons, the
hierions and the
sedrons. Due to differences in the behavior of these three classes of fundamental particles, the morphology of the first temporal attractor was complex and not perfectly symmetrical.

After the
Huaoshy carried out their first
dimensional engineering project, a new temporal attractor came into existence that was built around a distinctive core that had a dyadic symmetry.

The diadic symmetry of that new temporal attractor reflected the new dimensional structure of the universe (image to the right).

However,
time travel was not possible in either the ground state or the newly made transitional state. The Huaoshy performed an additional round of dimensional engineering, after which it was possible to travel faster than the speed of light.
That second dimensional engineering event also made time travel possible. The resulting "First Reality" was governed by a temporal attractor that had one dominant basin of attraction and two smaller "spikes". This was what Asimov referred to as "the Basic State" in his novel
The End of Eternity.

Those two symmetrical spikes were eventually engineered by R. Gohrlay into the single "merged spike" of the Mallansohn Reality. According to Gohrlay, it was only such a merged spike that could focus enough temporal energy to bring into existence the Foundation Reality.
Gohrlay suggests that the nearly symmetrical two-basin strange temporal attractor of the Foundation Reality was inherently unstable. In some sense, it was an "invitation" to the Kac'hin to begin the Time War. As soon as the Kac'hin started using time travel technology to alter the historical timeline of Earth, they cause a three-basin temporal attractor to come into existence. Ever since then, the temporal attractor of the universe has retained that fundamental three-basin structure.
Those three temporal basins of attraction are in some mysterious way related to the three major forms of matter. Hadrons exist only in one of the three sets of 3 spatial directions. Hierions have more dimensional flexibility and can reside along with hadrons not only in the conventional universe, but also in another "part" of the universe defined by the set of 3 hierion dimensions.
Special thanks to
Miranda Hedman (www.mirish.deviantart.com) for the DeviantArt stock photograph "
Black Cat 9 - stock" that I used to create the blue "
sedronite" who is in the image shown to the right.
Sendrons have the most flexibility and are present in all of the dimensional levels of the universe. Their command of sedron-based technologies such as
zeptites is what allowed the Huaoshy to force R. Gohrlay into a negotiated end to the time war.
According to Gohrlay, those three basins of temporal attraction act to force upon Earth three different possible types of future. As was the case in the Asimov Reality, some of the possible futures for Earth involved a
nuclear catastrophe.
In the case of the Ekcolir Reality, the future of Earth was dominated by
global warming and catastrophic
sea level rise.
The third basin of temporal attraction involves futures where Earth does not become radioactive and the Antarctic ice cap also stays intact. However, there are other potential catastrophes lurking in the future (see the
extinction curve).
The Buld Realities
When I first learned about the existence of our
Reality Chain, I made a simplifying assumption. I imagined that there were only four
Reality Changes between the Mallansohn Reality and the
Buld Reality. I now understand that there were many relatively minor variants of the Asimov, Ekcolir and Buld Realities. Due to
temporal inertia, most Reality Changes do not alter he basic morphology of the temporal attractor that controls the shape of Time.
