Zero sum

Post » Fri Nov 12, 2010 10:01 pm

One day after reading a thread about CHIM i saw 'Zero sum' appear and i began to wonder what it was so i checked the imperial libary and found the text "et'Ada, Eight Aedra, Eat the Dreamer" but this did not help (due to the fact alot of it confused me :( ) but i do know that CHIM is being everything and keeping yourself intact is zero sum the opposite of it?

When you realize that the two halves that created the Aurbis by their interplay are not actually two opposite sides, and that there thus is no actual interplay, and that thus nothing really is except for that one thing that is and is everything, then you zero-sum.

http://www.imperial-library.info/obscure_text/sporedream.shtml describes the realization nicely. Also give the http://www.imperial-library.info/mwbooks/lessons.shtml#35 in the Sermons a shot.

Chim is knowing something more then that.

If Anu and Padomay are opposites and equals, then they effectively cancel each other out. Example: -x + x = 0. Since most people in TES are part of that equation, they end up with a zero value as well. This is zero sum.

CHIM is for those people that Zurin Arctus was talking about when he said "For every Event, there is a Prophecy. For Every Prophecy, there is a hero" (or something along those lines.)

Those people who are "heroes" have the potential to say "BULLS*T! I'm not a zero. I'm the f***ing equal symbol. I am what is holding all this s**t together."

Some may disagree with my anology, but it has always worked for me.
