Weaving and dancing among each other. The vast majority are transient. Short lived things soon broken. But there are 5 basic patterns that last.Note that it is the patterns that last. The Folds that made up the patterns but a moment ago are not the Folds that make up the pattern now. Old Folds travel on, new folds take up the pattern, and a Fold that was once a part of one pattern can become part of another.Each Fold also curves space-time. Curves it in the 10 spatial dimensions that exist in the world of the Fold. When in one of the 5 patterns the curvature takes on a certain 'shape'. Space-time becomes curved in a certain way, ranging from the precipitous walls of the weak nuclear force, to the gentle slopes of gravity.In other words, unlike the real world the universe of Dragon Earth has 5 forces. Along with the weak nuclear forces, the strong nuclear force, electromagnetic energy, and gravity there is a 5th; magic.The patterns, the twine, come together in larger patterns. What we know as superstrings. With branes as an emergent property of these patterns. Superstrings then coming together into the patterns we know as quarks, subatomic particles, atoms, and the whole nine yards. What we call matter, mass, and energy are emergent properties arising from the patterns and their interactions.Which all means that everything in the world of Dragon Earth is, in a sense, magical. But how magic works must wait for my next posting.</blockquote>
