[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 9133790, member: 710"] I think it's not an "X-Factor" in the sense there is a specific entity behind it, it's just part of what psychohistory describes - galactic social currents moving to undermine the Empire, leading to its eventual downfall. Some faction opposes the Empire and decices to blow up the Star Bridge. Another faction opposes the Empire and decides to corrupt the genetic dynasty. Another faction opposes the Empire and declares the genetic destiny as blasphemy against the gods. Every individual conflict so far is something the Empire can survive and fight off, typically with great brutality. But the hits keep coming, and it always leaves behind cracks, until it falls apart. The Empire is doomed. But all these factions - they are disparate. They don't form a united front. And so the aftermath will be chaos, because there isn't an "X-Factor" or grandmaster in the shwodws with a grand vision to build something new. Except the Foundation. It's a way to channel these social currents into something more productive. The first example might be how the Foundation turned the Anacreons away from a self-destructive last vengeful strike against the heart of the Empire, to instead work with the Foundation. [/QUOTE]
